    Reflecting on my Year Abroad

    April 11, 2025 /

    By Rhiann Singh, University of Ottawa Canada As I’m writing this I’m in my last 6 weeks into my final year here at UOM. It is crazy to think how fast my year abroad in Ottawa went and I can whole heartedly say that I do not regret a single thing.
