• What do you think the benefits of this program are?

DISP is a one-of-a-kind program as it allows you to explore different subjects within the field of science (e.g. biology, psychology, earth science, statistics, etc) in a small cohort. Since there are only about 60-70 students in DISP, meeting people is very easy and everyone is friendly! Plus, after a few weeks of classes, professors already know your name and you feel more a part of a small Dalhousie family than just a first-year science program. In addition to the welcoming atmosphere, DISP gives first-year students the chance to work in a research lab, an听opportunity that has allowed me to find summer jobs in research!

• Why did you choose the DISP program?

As an incoming undergraduate student, I was looking for a program that would enable me to explore science as a broad concept, so I could figure out which subject I am most interested in. Attending a university in a foreign province hours away from home can be scary, but the small class size and close relationships between professor and student in DISP are truly unique. Not to mention, who doesn't want to go on fantastic field trips and explore Nova Scotia while learning science hands-on?!

• What was your experience like?

My experience in DISP was truly immaculate. I remember being nervous for the first day of classes, but as soon as I entered the room I realized how approachable the students were, as we were all in this together, and Dr. Tompkins really made me feel supported and my achievements celebrated. In addition, the field trips are some of my favourite memories thus far at pilipili漫画! From the Bay of Fundy to Peggy's Cove, I learned so many valuable science skills while discovering a new province with some of my best friends. Who says science can't be fun?
