Katso R.
Global Peer Advisor
Program: Global & International Studies with a Specialization in Global Development and a Minor in Economics
Year of Study: 3rd year
Places I Call Home: Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Canada
Campus Involvement: Contributing writer with Kroger Policy Review (a student-led policy publication at Carleton), Carleton Residence Fellow, First Year Connections Mentor with the SEO, and client service representative with the Residence Reception Desk.
Hobbies: Watching bad reality tv shows with my roommates, jogging or finding new trails around the city, and spending way too much time on social media.
My Ottawa Recommendations: Try different cuisines! Ottawa has an abundance of food options available. Next time you feel like going to McDonald’s or grabbing a slice at Pizza Pizza try Si Señor’s tacos and birria instead – or maybe some bao at Gongfu Bao.
Advice for New International Students: Don’t neglect your social life because you’re worried about school. School is important but so are all the fun bits that come with starting university. Let yourself enjoy it all.
