With the ever-growing diversity of the Canadian student population, understanding the various aspects of their experiences and perspectives is crucial.

Of the 50 Canadian students surveyed, 60% were female, while 40% were male. The majority of the participants (70%) were in their first or second year of university, with the remaining 30% being in their third or fourth year. The majority of the students (80%) were enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, reflecting the increasing trend of students pursuing careers in these areas.

When it comes to academic interests, the majority of the students (70%) expressed a strong passion for their chosen field of study.

However, 30% of the students reported experiencing difficulties in balancing their academic workload, with 20% of them struggling with time management and 10% struggling with understanding complex concepts.
Extracurricular activities played a significant role in the lives of the surveyed students.

These activities helped students develop essential skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication, which they believed would be valuable in their future careers.
When it comes to social lives, the majority of the students (70%) reported having a good social circle, with friends from different cultural backgrounds. They believed that this diversity contributed to their personal growth and enriched their university experience.

By understanding the needs and aspirations of Canadian students, universities and policymakers can work together to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for all students.
