It’s hard to choose between two equally
good things, especially when those
things will decide your future. Upper-year
student, Samira Rahbar Farzami Hagh,
had a hard choice picking either the
human body or mind to study. After much
deliberation, she did both. Now Samira is
a double major student in human biology
and mental health. Samira says U of T
Scarborough is a diverse and friendly
environment with caring professors.
She works as an office assistant for the
International Student Centre and as an

“UTSC has a friendly environment and is
