"Being a part of Toronto Metropolitan University’s master of architecture program has been an invaluable experience. It has provided me with the creative freedom to explore the ideas that interest me, while challenging me to think unconventionally and contribute my own perspective to the discipline of architecture."

"My favourite part about being a Toronto Metropolitan University MASc student is consistently receiving opportunities to be involved in research and projects beyond my own thesis work and lab. My colleagues and the department encourage me to step out of my comfort zone and, as a result, my network grows while I contribute to projects that are meaningful to my research as well as the community. I've always thought that student experience is only as good as you make it; my life as a graduate student at Toronto Metropolitan University holds true to that."

I am honoured to be a part of it."
