Comments

Many of us leave our home countries to study at Sheridan. Leaving home when you are from another country is not easy. There is a longing for the familiar: family, friends, food. There is also hope for a great learning adventure and new friends in the Sheridan community.

Did you leave home in another country to come to Sheridan? What do you miss? What makes you feel at home here? Share your experiences and help us create a collective art piece by sharing your experiences
