The best thing about my school is: The hands-on, real-life experience with journalism.

If I could sum up my school in one sentence, it would be: Very downtown Toronto, individualistic, multi-dimensional and incredibly diverse.

Any other hints? Make sure you always take some time to unwind, your schoolwork will benefit from it and so will you, whether it’s a couple of hours vegging out on the couch or a day on the beach.
