The campus of Ambrose University was built in 2008 with great facilities. These facilities include Commuter Collegium, cafeteria, a lot of seating areas, and much more. Those who are in the Seminary programs are very grateful to have an area called Seminary commons. So what happens in that area?

Is Seminary able to bend easily without breaking? Not literally! But because Seminary has a wide range of option courses, it can fit flexibly into your schedule.

Being born and raised in Venezuela, I’ve always wanted to see snow and the beauty of snowflakes. When one of my brothers was choosing a university, he chose the University of Calgary, so as a family we all came to see the city. I fell in llove with Calgary at once, even though there was no snow.

Don’t know what to do in Calgary? Let me help you!
When I first stepped into Ambrose on the first day of classes, I was really worried whether I could meet people. I am quite introverted and not assertive to start off! When I attended the classes that I was enrolled in, I was surprised with the number of students. There were a couple of classes with only 5-15 students. Through that, I was able to meet friends! It was a lot easier to get to know people. I did not only meet friends, but also had the chance to build relationships with my professors. They knew my name and who I was! I did not only get to know people in the class, but also through the program itself; intercultural studies.
I had mentioned this in the 'most favorite part of Ambrose,' but let me expand a little bit more here! Many of us love to travel. When we arrive to the destination, food and culture is something that we would tend to look forward to. For myself, I would never miss out trying all the weird food!
As an international student, I’ve been in Calgary for almost six years. I graduated from Ambrose University with a Bachelor of Ministry in Intercultural Studies and then started my Master of Arts in Leadership and Ministry at Ambrose as well.
When I first came to Calgary, my first impression was that everyone was so friendly and respectful with all cultures. I was born and raised in Venezuela but come from a Chinese heritage. Venezuelans would tend to call names when they see Chinese or Americans walking down the streets. But I did not see any of that in Calgary. I also felt really safe when I was walking around here because it would not be a surprise if you were robbed or kidnapped in Venezuela.
As much as I felt safe and respected, I definitely had to adapt to the freezing cold weather and environment. I was a little worried whether I could meet people at Ambrose since I started off as a commuter student and I am an introvert as well. However, that was not an issue. Class sizes were small enough for me to get to know people.
I still have probably a couple of more years to finish my master’s degree and I’m looking forward to see the changes here at Ambrose and all the new faces.
