Meet Shannan Hill, UPEI Bachelor of Science in Mathematics graduate

What brought you to UPEI? Why did you choose to study here? 

I was attracted to UPEI initially because it's a small university with small class sizes and a focus on undergraduate students and programs. I felt that going to UPEI would open many different opportunities and would allow me to remain close to friends and family on the Island at the same time.
