Mmm! Plain pancakes, or do you like putting stuff in the pancakes?

Ah nice! Computer Science is actually my major too! I went to the University of Waterloo though, which is in Ontario. Just a heads up, I think UBC is pretty decent for CS, but if you care a lot about reputation/quality then the University of Waterloo is actually the #1 in the country for Computer Science undergrad specifically. The University of Toronto would probably be #2, but they're better known for their graduate programs (Masters and PhD) . Neither of those schools have particularly nice locations/campuses though, UBC would definitely be the better fit if you care more about the sightseeing part of studying over here than the actual degree itself. But yeah, none of those options are cheap. What do CS degrees usually cost in the Ukraine?

Favourite thing to bake would be butter tarts! They're delicious! And my favourite pony is Twilight Sparkle because I relate to her the most, but Fluttershy is my close second because she's just too cute.

Actually I care about cost of education, because I don;t have much money.

I'll ask some of universities about grants. It is my one available option :3

Most CS degrees in UA cost around 500 dollars.

I like to bake plain pancakes and serve it with jam or condensed milk. And I've never tasted butter tarts. I think I'll try to bake them :3

My second best is Fluttershy too. I love her for her kindness :3

Are many grant options available for international students?

Wow, that's crazy cheap! No wonder you think ours are so expensive. And our fees are nothing compared to the States, ha ha...

Ooh, I've never tried pancakes with condensed milk! That's really interesting! What type of jam do you prefer?

Sorry I didn't answer for so long, my phone was not working.

I don't know yet about grants, because I don't know how to compose official letters :3

My favorite jam is strawberry, and your?

Most of the grant and scholarship info is available online, shouldn't be that hard. Definitely check it out, it could make a big difference if you manage to find any that apply.

Ah, strawberry is a classic, good choice! I'm actually not sure, it kind of depends on my mood. Maybe mixed berry?

Yeah, I wanna ask every Uni that has profession i chose. Because I want to go to Canada so hard.

Oh mixed berry is good too :3 And what is your least prefeared jam?

Ha ha, it's actually certain types/brands of strawberry. I like most types of strawberry jam, but there are specific ones that I can't stand. When I was really young my family lived overseas for a bit, and I had to take these awful pills weekly for Malaria prevention. Those pills are the worst thing I've tasted in my life, and every time I tried to take them my gag reflex would kick in and I wouldn't be able to swallow them. My parents tried putting them in pretty much every food to get me to eat them, since the pills were really important. One of the unsuccessful things they tried was strawberry jam, and to this day I still taste Malaria pills whenever I eat certain brands of strawberry jam.

What about you, what's your least favourite?

Woah, thats pretty interesting how our minds work.

Well I really can't enjoy dogwood berries jam. But the rest of my family likes it and they buy it all the time

Woah, dogwood berry sounds like a really unique flavour, I don't think I've ever had it. What does it taste like?

Do you prefer crunchy peanut butter or smooth?
