Emelin from Rotterdam, Holland says
Meet our International Students
I've enjoyed every second I've been at
Nipissing. I've learned to be on my own and more
independent. I'm leaving Canada with not only an
insight into Hispanic Culture and Christianity
from courses Ive taken, but also with some new
friends who have made my stay absolutely
unforgettable.
