My career as a criminologist

Which school?

Choice 1 : Go to the University Laval.

Choice 2 : Go to the University of Montreal.

College Ahuntsic

Go to the University Laval.

I decide to go to the University of Laval in criminology, so I had to move to Quebec. My boyfriend decided to find some work in Quebec, so we would be together. We need to find an apartment for the duration of my studies.

Choice 1 : I find myself an internship related to criminology.

Choice 2 : I realize that I won't have enough money to support myself.

Domestic violence resource

I find myself an internship related to criminology.

I am so happy! I found an internship in a prison, so I will be a trainee and I will learn a lot about how it is going in detention. I will be assisted by someone, but if I like the job, it's not a dead-en-job, so I will have a lot of good opportunities to make a good salary.

Choice 2 : I continue my studies while living with my parents
