Hey Everyone,

My name is Erempagamo Ben-Abali, but just call me Ere. Guess what? You now have a voice from the Brantford campus and I’m excited to give you some insights into what the Brantford campus feels like.

I’m from Nigeria (West Africa). I’m in my 2nd year in the Business Technology Management co-op program. I came to Canada about 3 years ago. I was so excited to come to Canada and in no time I adapted to the environment and changes. I’m used to being away from home so I guess it was easy for me. I choose Laurier’s Brantford campus because of its small campus, class sizes and community. When I first arrived at Laurier I always kept to myself and ended up going a semester without friends but that quickly changed. The next semester I came out of my shell and joined different clubs, volunteered, participated in community activities, etc., and now I can proudly say it was worth it.

I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, adventure, laughter and being around friends and family. I love dogs and cats. I love learning about other cultures. I’m usually at the international student lounge if you want to stop by. I hope that my blog posts will make you more excited about the Brantford campus and Canada in general.

Yours truly,

Ere.
