“UOIT has one of the most affordable international student tuition rates, and Oshawa is a great location that is close to Toronto,” says Toritse Ikomi, a Communication and Digital Media Studies student at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) from Nigeria. “It has been a great learning experience and coming to Canada has benefited me a lot. Things are more developed here and the education is impeccable. I have learned valuable things that I can hopefully take back home to help further develop our community.”
