Hello, how are you all doing? I'm back today with a new video.
In today's video, I'll tell you about my two years of studies.
For those who are unaware, I recently completed a two-year Computer Networking Course at Seneca College.
15 days ago, I applied for a Work Permit.
So, I wanted to relate my experience of how my studies at a Canadian college went,
what obstacles I encountered, and what challenges I faced.
So, in this video, I'll go over everything and tell you about my experience so far.
Fortunately, I have not failed any of my subjects. My course consisted of 23 subjects.
So, while I did not fail in any of them, I will tell you about the hurdles and obstacles you will face.
So, please watch the complete video. I'll set the like aim for this video at 1500,
and I know you guys can do it.
So, starting from the beginning, I arrived in Canada on December 18, 2018.
I had just finished 12th grade and had no idea how college life worked.
However, if I had completed any of the bachelor's degrees,
I would have a better understanding of how college life works.
As a result, it was a first-time experience. So, when I arrived here,
I had no idea how my college life would go. I met some Indian friends.
So, the primary issue I found in myself is that if we come here for studies
and something comes up as a challenge, such as an assignment, a quiz, or a project,
we don't have any experience with these things, so we stress out.
Because we didn't know about time management at the start.
For example, I didn't have a job at first, but when I obtained one, my second semester had just begun,
and I didn't know how I would manage these things.
However, it is not a major concern because 20 hours per week is minimal if you want to maintain your college life.
Later on, I'll explain to you how to live a stress-free college life.
I recall having a 3 percent assignment in the first semester
and working on it for eight hours every day for three days because I thought it was a major project,
but it was only a 3 percent project out of 100 percent.
So, as I mentioned in the video "Education System in Canada", 100 percent is divided into smaller percentages.
So, out of 100 percent, 25 percent is for finals, 20 percent is for midterms,
and the remaining 55 percent is for quizzes, labs, practicals, and projects.
For example, 5% is made up of laboratories, 20% is made up of practicals,
20% is made up of quizzes, and 10% is made up of projects.
So, in this case, the 100 percent was broken, although in this case,
you must score at least 50% to pass any course.
Assume you kept your 80 percent score until finals and your finals are only 20 percent.
You failed the subject if your final grade was less than 50%.
So I squandered three days for only 3%, but now I spend not more than two to three hours for 3%.
As a result, it will take some time for you to learn and comprehend things.
So don't be frightened; I understand how you'll feel because
it was difficult for me to adjust to this situation as well.
Difficulties included not knowing how everything would go, having a large assignment,
a lot of quizzes, and midterm exams.
When it comes to midterms, if you have three classes on the same day,
their midterm exam will also be on the same day.
But I want you to know that if you become tense about your studies here,
you must remain calm in order to proceed, because if you become tense,
it will not be able to assist you.
So keep your cool, make some friends, and enlist their assistance.
Now, consider this: if I have five buddies, each of them is an expert in a specific subject.
So I can seek their assistance, and if I'm knowledgeable in any subject, I can assist them.
The second thing I'll tell you is that you'll need time to adjust here.
It does not mean that you should feel demotivated or depressed because
things will be smooth for the first 15-20 days after you are here,
but as soon as your college life begins, you will begin to feel homesick.
Because you have to cook your own meals, go to work and college,
and when all of these things get in your way, you will feel homesick.... you'll start to wonder
why you came here, and I don't think there'll be a single one who doesn't think that.
Because the first few days are a little depressing and will demotivate you.
However, after 4-5 months, you will find that everything is good.
So, if you're coming, bear this in mind. I considered making a video on homesickness,
but I realised it would be useless, so I opted to discuss it in this video.
I'm the type of person who can live without my family, so I figured going to Canada wouldn't demotivate me.
However, there will come a time when you will feel demotivated and dejected,
but remember that this happens to everyone.
So far, my first two semesters have been pretty successful.
I concentrated too much on studying during my first semester, and I received 4 out of 4 GP.
In terms of the second semester, I acquired a job that started at 3:30 PM
and is approximately a 15-minute walk from my campus.
I usually got home at 11:00 p.m. after work, and the next day my college usually closed,
and I also had to work on Saturdays and Sundays.
My job wasn't very challenging, but I had to cook, work, and study on my own.
As a result, it became a challenge for me, but with time, you can manage everything together.
and I received a 3.7 out of 4 in my second semester.
As I entered the third semester, I began to enjoy my studies as much as my college life.
Despite the fact that my third semester was not very difficult.
My class was just for one day a week, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM,
and I only had classes for 2-3 hours per day on the other days.
So I began to like my studies, and I was getting new projects that were very exciting, and then Covid-19 began.
As a result, colleges were closed.
If Covid hadn't happened, I believe my remaining third and fourth semesters would have been more enjoyable
because I was noticing a transition that took time for me to adjust to in the first semester,
the 2nd semester went fine, the 3rd semester I started to enjoy,
and the 4th semester could have been quite good if Covid hadn't happened.
It had no effect on my studies because there were online classes,
but the truth is that offline classes are far superior to online classes.
So, in my student life, I've found that when it comes to final exams,
I get tensed, and everyone else may as well. These things happen to everyone and are very natural.
I didn't know these things when I first moved here,
but they became second nature to me after a while.
So, in this video, I'm trying to tell you not to worry since everything will be well in due time.
So, when there were final exams, I got nervous
because if you maintained an 80 percent previously and the finals are 20%,
and if you scored less than 50% in finals, you'd fail that subject.
So, this was the biggest source of my anxiety, but I passed my courses without any difficulty.
So, if I talk about the quality of education at Seneca College,
see I chose to do a thorough evaluation of Seneca College with my friend Sourav, but for now,
I'll just say that I learned a lot from here.
When I first moved here, I knew nothing about computer networking.
But I learned a lot from here, and I learned everything I know from Seneca College.
So, I'll say that as a student, I learned a lot.
If you come here for a course from one of the reputable colleges, it will be challenging for you,
but it will be worthwhile.
You'll learn a lot of new stuff, and lecturers are usually quite helpful
and respond to emails quickly.
So, as a student, I learned a lot, and my college sparked my interest in computer networking.
Now, after getting PR, I want to continue my education.
So, I had a great time studying here, and that's why I decided to make a video on my entire student experience.
It will take some time to adjust here, but don't be concerned or discouraged;
your decision to come here was correct. So, keep your promise,
because I've seen a lot of people go home for no reason.
I understand that some people are very attached to their families and find it difficult to study abroad.
But, after a while, most people settle in, and once you make new friends,
there's nothing to worry about and everything is fine.
So, have fun in your student life. I didn't spend much at the time because I needed to pay my fees,
but as you can see, I did spend on some things I wanted to do.
because I passed the main phase, where I had to pay my own fees.
So, I also prepared a video about how I paid my fees, which I'll post here.
As a result, my primary goal of paying my own fees has been met.
Even if you have to pay your fees, try to enjoy some of your student life;
if you don't have any work on weekends, go out with your friends and have fun.
So, I wanted to share my experience with you guys, and I'll do a video on Seneca College's detailed review,
in which I'll tell you about the important aspects in computer networking,
but in this video, I was sharing my two years of experience as a student here.
So, that's all there is to it; I hope you enjoyed the video and found it useful.
I just want to advise you to be positive, and if it takes some time to adjust,
don't worry because everything will be OK in the end, and you'll learn a lot from this experience.
I'm delighted I made the decision to come here. So, I hope you enjoyed the video,
and if you did, please Like it and subscribe to the channel. Until then, take care, guys, have a good one, and stay safe.
