ARCHIVE - What Students are Saying
"I entered university without any definitive career aspirations. Through the BHSc program, I have been able to identify my personal strengths and match those to a career that is right for me."
-Kristin Stawiarski, Class of 2010
"Over my four years, I had great opportunities to listen to, learn from, and question leading researchers in our program. Having contact with experts from a wide variety of fields from first year onwards led to a richer learning experience and a chance to engage with - as well help create - current knowledge."
-Mahan Kulasegaram, Class of 2009
“The BHSc program provided me with a truly unique learning environment that never ceased to challenge me in my undergraduate years. My experience was further highlighted by the support that I had received from the very effervescent and inspirational BHSc facilitators. Coming out of this program, I am grateful for the opportunities that allowed me to develop as a critical thinker, an affective communicator, as well as a socially conscious learner.”
-Fify Soeyonggo, Class of 2009
"Being in the Health Sciences program has allowed me to experience education in its fullest. B.H.Sc. allows you to collaborate with remarkable students, engage in intellectually stimulating courses and to be a part of an amazing community..."
- Jayant Ramakrishna, Class of 2006
"The BHSc program makes me feel as if I am part of a big family, one in which I have my own place and importance."
- Amudhinie Thanendran, Class of 2009
"The Bachelor of Health Sciences program has offered me what no other university and faculty can provide: compassion. Compassion from its students and compassion from its staff makes such a significant difference in our pursuit of education and experience in the real world."
- Kayi Li, Class of 2007
"The B.H.Sc. program is a small close-knit community where everyone knows everyone. This allows students to better collaborate with other students, professors, and staff in the pursuance of their academic and social goals. In addition, the ability to provide extensive feedback within the B.H.Sc. program allows students to become fully involved and have control over their own education."
- Justin Chung, Class of 2004
"The B.H.Sc. Program provides a framework to understand health from a molecular and population perspective. The options this knowledge provides in choosing a future career are tremendous."
- Avita Sooknanan, Class of 2005
"The Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours) Program gives you options. As a third year student, I feel so lucky to be able to minor in Biochemistry, to take religious studies courses like "Nonviolence" and to plan my very own inquiry course in rural India. At the same time, the BHSc core curriculum gives me courses that broaden rather than narrow my understanding of ‘health’."
- Ruchika Shukla, Class of 2004
“The program offers so many opportunities to pursue your own interests. Faculty and staff at the office are always very supportive - something I didn't expect from a university program.”
-Huntae Kim, Class of 2010
“The BHSc program has certainly challenged me both academically and non-academically. It has taught me a wide variety of skills and has broadened my understanding of learning itself. Above all, Health Sciences has provided me with a continuous network of support and encouragement which has been invaluable in helping me over come the obstacles I face in my undergraduate career.”
-Deepti Chopra, Class of 2010
"The B.H.Sc. program really takes you beyond the lectures and delves into a world of learning and personal growth. When I left high school, I thought it would be the last time I would ever experience a small group learning environment; yet, here I am working in a group of three, interviewing standardized patients and searching for a solution to homelessness. I would never have imagined university to be so refreshing."
- Abhishek Raut, Class of 2006
"The BHSc program fosters an environment of higher learning unlike any other. Students are free to develop their academic interests and ambitions through direct access to world renowned experts and unparallelled resources."
- Calvin H. Yeh, Class of 2009
"The program offers a unique opportunity for students to interact with other students and faculty and promotes an innovative learning style equilibrating peer collaboration, inquiry-based and self-directed learning."
- Joseph Zakaria, Class of 2005
"B.H.Sc. means being involved with a terrific peer group, having the chance to make a difference in your own education, and being given the opportunity to explore more than you would ever imagine! As a B.H.Sc. student, I have been privileged to work with many enthusiastic and innovative minds that make our program unique. As the years progress, the B.H.Sc. experience only keeps getting better!"
- Carly Thompson, Class of 2004
"The BHSc program can be described as the confluence of intellectual vigour, interpersonal connection, and boundless imagination. I am a richer person for having studied here."
- Joshua Ng, Class of 2008
"I was once told that to truly understand something, you must be able to explain it using your imagination. The B.H.Sc. program has taught me to look beyond the facts; to make the knowledge not only my own, but the beginning of so many other ideas."
- Tara Davies, Class of 2004
