University of Saskatchewan- The Priarie University in Canada


 I and my husband Rajeevan learnt to spell Saskatchewan after retreating in its spelling for a while.  We were happy to realize that Rajesh started to work at the University of Saskatchewan.

Now I am in Saskatchewan.

Every day in the early morning at 5 30 am, when I look through the glass window of the house at Kloppenberg, where they live, I could see the golden sun slowly rolling up far behind the neighboring houses. A little after, when we drive to the University of Saskatchewan, we pass through the golden field, grassland, housing complex, independent big houses and newly constructing buildings. The ride makes me feel so good. Abhinav asks his dad " music please"- to play music which makes the journey more pleasant.



The University of Saskatchewan is green in color and I saw many people wearing green color dress and shirts on Fridays. Its strongest department is the department of Agriculture. Rajesh showed more than 400 acres of  cultivated land that belonged to the  University. The students are the workers on the land. I wish Kerala to imitate the Saskatchewan student style of learning by doing in agriculture!

The university of Saskachewan has 71 Master degree and 48 doctoral degree programs. I realized that annual intake of students to these programs is around 2500. Arts and Sciences programs are pretty strong. Arts discipline includes Humanities, Social Sciences and Fine arts where as Science programs include Applied Sciences, Computational and Mathematical Sciences, Life sciences, Business and Education.  Masters and Ph D programs in Biochemistry, Applied Micro Biology,and Bio medical Engineering are also an attraction for foreign students.
There is wide scope for undergraduate studies in Engineering which is an attraction for Indian students.
The discipline of Humanities includes 16 programs like English, French, Latin, Modern languages, Philosophy, History, Religion and culture, Studio Art, Art History, and
Women and gender studies,
As I am a psychologist, I am attracted to the department of psychology.
