Meet Eric: Communication and Media Studies, 1st year

Hi everyone! I am Jing, you can also call me Eric. Now I am a first year student study the Communication and Media in Carleton University. Carleton University stood out as the first Canadian university to offer me a scholarship, which played a significant role in my decision-making process. Moreover, the university’s academic program in my chosen major is exceptional, further cementing my interest in Carleton. Additionally, the city of Ottawa, where Carleton is located, greatly appealed to me. Its small size, relaxed pace of life, and overall comfort made it an ideal setting for my education. Ultimately, considering all these factors, I made the decision to enroll at Carleton University. Upon my arrival at Carleton, I was captivated by the expansive campus and its picturesque surroundings. Particularly during the autumn season, the sight of the maple leaves complementing the Rideau River left a lasting impression on me. Notably, Carleton University shares similarities with Ottawa itself, both being characterized by their tranquil and unpretentious nature. This environment contributed to a lack of intense competitive pressure at Carleton, allowing me to focus on my studies without excessive stress. Furthermore, I found the majority of professors I interacted with to be approachable and understanding, offering flexibility in assignment deadlines to accommodate students’ scheduling conflicts. Within a month of joining Carleton, I became an active member of the Carleton China Student Union (CUCSA) and specifically took on a role in the publicity department. Throughout the 2022-2023 academic year, I actively participated in organizing various events hosted by the Student Union, striving to facilitate the integration of Chinese students into the vibrant campus life at Carleton University. Looking ahead, my intention is to foster collaboration and communication with other official organizations at Carleton, actively promoting diversity within CUCSA, and extending support to an increasing number of students.
