Brianna Tersigni, Double Major in Criminology and History
Coming from the city, I was looking for a small campus away from all of the ‘hustle and bustle’ of the Toronto area. I like to make use of the numerous trails, my most memorable moment being my first hike to the flagpole and getting to enjoy the view of the entire campus. Another location on campus I love is the Brenda Wallace Reading Room. The peaceful and serene atmosphere it offers makes it the perfect spot to study quietly and comfortably.
