Thank you for contacting me and requesting a written explanation of the reasons why I decided to change my program of studies in USA to program of studies in Canada. I believe transferring to a Canadian institution is the right decision for the following reasons.

I want to be proud of the school I decide to attend. University of Alberta is a well-known and respected school that ranks on Canada’s top five best universities and is among the world’s best.
It is a research-intensive institution with over 100 years of history. Graduating from a school with such an outstanding reputation will not only be better for me academically and professionally, but will bring me the feeling of pride that motivates me to accomplish more and become successful.

Although Temple University is a satisfying school, it is located in North Philadelphia, a neighborhood with a crime rate above what I would consider safe. I found that the constant police sirens and the general fear of walking back to my dorm at night was distracting me from my studies. Despite Temple’s great efforts to create a safe environment for students, I believe it will be better for me to study in a less …show more content…

Even though I was awarded a yearly scholarship of $5,000 USD, Temple’s tuition still added up to $41,000 USD a year, not taking in consideration accommodation, health insurance, books and other university expenses. If allowed to attend University of Alberta, I would have to pay around $22,000 USD (C$ 28,500) a year, which is $19,000 USD less than what I already pay. Even though my family does not struggle financially, switching to University of Alberta will save me, at the end of my studies, roughly $57,000 USD on tuition

Saeed said in the Interview with Muhammad Saeed, “When taking a risk the person should be ready to accept the best and the worst scenario” (Saeed), in my case, I wasn’t ready for the worst scenario when taking the risk to come to Canada. Being only mentally prepared for a straightforward life I was quickly overwhelmed as soon as I joined my first school. I was placed in grade 6, even though I was only in grade 5 in Pakistan. Shortly after I had to do tests and assignments, the teaching style, the method of assessment, and basically everything was different compared to Pakistan. I performed poorly for the first few assessments, I was shocked from this result because I was always a “straight A” student in Pakistan and I wasn’t used to anything lower.

As tuition increases and mortgages also rise, students have been resorting to borrowing to make their way through school.
