Video opens with a student Nidhi Nidhi. She has long black hair, has a nose ring and is wearing a collared red University of Guelph zip up sweater. She is sitting in front of a red wall in a gold chair. There is a photograph of the Gryphon statue to the right of Tatiana on the red wall and a shelf to her left with several decorative items.

00:00:00,149 --> 00:00:03,340
(soft music)

2
00:00:03,340 --> 00:00:05,100
- As an international student,

3
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:08,470
I always wanted to explore

4
00:00:08,470 --> 00:00:11,470
what environmental sciences looked like.

5
00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:14,490
And coming to Canada
was a dream come true,

6
00:00:14,490 --> 00:00:17,200
and especially University of Guelph.

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,340
I still remember when I typed in

8
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:21,590
one of the best universities

9
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:23,490
to study environmental sciences,

10
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:26,300
University of Guelph
was one of the top ones.

11
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:28,750
I saw how people...

12
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:32,410
Like environmental sciences
had one of the best co-ops

13
00:00:32,410 --> 00:00:35,960
and I just wanted to
explore what I could do

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,290
and what industry here looked like.

15
00:00:38,290 --> 00:00:42,010
On top of that, we have field courses.

16
00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:43,900
Field courses are always an opportunity

17
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:46,250
to gain the same amount of experiences

18
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:48,130
along with being with props

19
00:00:48,130 --> 00:00:51,620
and having those research
opportunities as well.

20
00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:54,070
My name is Nidhi Nidhi.
I'm in fourth year.

21
00:00:54,070 --> 00:00:58,190
I've never seen university providing

22
00:00:58,190 --> 00:01:00,330
bachelor for environmental sciences

23
00:01:00,330 --> 00:01:02,780
in environmental economics and policy,

24
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:05,250
which was just very interesting.

25
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:09,300
And I would say that was the
first thing that pulled me

26
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:10,400
to the university.

27
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,950
And the second was just the co-op option.

28
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:14,530
I saw how people...

29
00:01:14,530 --> 00:01:18,160
Like environmental sciences
had one of the best co-ops

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,700
and I just wanted to
explore what I could do

31
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:24,650
and what industry here looked like.

32
00:01:24,650 --> 00:01:27,860
- Canada is a natural resource country.

33
00:01:27,860 --> 00:01:31,360
So we are tasked with managing
those natural resources

34
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,830
in a responsible manner.

35
00:01:32,830 --> 00:01:34,020
In order to do that,

36
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:37,250
Canada needs competent
environmental scientists

37
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:39,700
who are familiar with
the physical environment,

38
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:42,600
the chemical environment, and
the biological environment.

39
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,810
At the University of Guelph,

40
00:01:43,810 --> 00:01:46,780
we have a School of Environmental Sciences

41
00:01:46,780 --> 00:01:48,690
where the faculty is dedicated

42
00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:50,820
to the environmental sciences.

43
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:52,650
- I would say you should go for it,

44
00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:54,730
like to any high school student

45
00:01:54,730 --> 00:01:57,220
that I have talked to and have told me

46
00:01:57,220 --> 00:02:00,340
that they are considering
bachelor of environmental sciences

47
00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:01,940
at the University of Guelph.

48
00:02:01,940 --> 00:02:06,170
The hospitality, the campus, the profs,

49
00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:10,120
and just people around
you are going to amaze you

50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,500
all the time.

51
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,992
So I would always say to say yes.

52
00:02:14,992 --> 00:02:17,409
