As a mom of a Grade 12 student, I found this event incredibly valuable. Choosing the right university can feel overwhelming, and hearing directly from students about their programs and campus life gave us real insight we couldn’t get from brochures. The honest conversations and chance to ask questions made the process so much clearer and helped my child feel more confident about their next step.
I think Beyond Utilities has the potential to be an incredible resource for high school students preparing for university. Looking back, I wish I had access to opportunities like this to learn more about different programs and pathways before making my own decision. It’s exciting to see an initiative that will give students clarity and confidence as they explore their futures.
As someone heading into Grade 12, the university decision process is very stressful. There are so many programs and options, and it’s hard to know what’s the right fit. Beyond Utilities gives me the chance to hear from real students who have already been through it, which makes everything feel a lot clearer and less overwhelming.
