Welcome to Season 9 of Choose UCalgary, the University of Calgary's prospective student podcast. The Choose UCalgary Podcast is intended for any prospective student who is hoping to learn more about the University of Calgary. We will chat with key representatives from the UCalgary community to help keep you updated and informed on all things UCalgary.
Episode 18: In today’s episode, we’re joined by two incredible upper-year students who not only excel academically but have also made the most of everything UCalgary has to offer. From securing major scholarships to having rich, hands-on practicum experiences in completely different fields, they’re proof that university is about more than just classes. It’s about community, friendship, and taking full advantage of the resources available to all students — whether you’re a scholarship recipient or not.
Cassidy and Larissa met during their first-year in residence and quickly became friends, building a strong support network through volunteering and a shared commitment to making the most of their academic journey. Today, they’re here to share how all future students can tap into the wealth of opportunities at UCalgary, including the benefits of applying for scholarships — because you never know where a simple application might lead. This conversation is a reminder that university success is about taking initiative, building meaningful connections, and using the resources around you, no matter what program you’re in. Let’s dive into their stories and insights!
