Overview

Coming with the previous schooling in biology, I felt ready to take on the hard program of nursing. Around Christmas time, I decided to apply. The application was straight forward and did not take long. The fee was $50, and it was the best $50 I ever spent. I first received acceptance into my second choice program of chemistry, and then a few weeks later I got my acceptance into nursing.

Fees

Nursing tuition was about $7000 for the year, plus books. A lot of that was for fees, which include paying into the nursing professional fee, and a few other things that I'm still not really sure what they are. The tuition and fees are second cheapest in Canada I believe, but it doesn't look like it.

Overview

I really wanted to go into the pre-vet program because I have wanted to be a vet ever since I was three years old. Around where I live there are only two universities that offer this program and the University of Prince Edward Island was my dream university. I put all of my faith into this one school and during my grade 12 year when it was time to start applying to different schools I only applied to one.

Fees

Tuition for the pre-vet program is 6,270 a year. For myself, I applied for student loans and was granted one through the Nova Scotia government. This helps me to pay for my schooling for the year and my rent where I have decided to live off of campus this year. There are also lots of different scholarships available through the university to apply for each year.
