“Doing a PhD is challenging in many aspects. In my particular case, doing it out of my home country was an even bigger adventure. Having done it at Rotman made a complete difference. I say this not only because the structure of the school is fantastic, and the training is world-class. I say that because of the people! The professors were generous and dedicated to students' development. The staff was supportive and caring from day one. And we, the students, were like a big family. I can only thank each and every one at Rotman for the amazing time we spent together. Thank you!”
