Work-School life? We asked some students.

Balancing school, work, and life as an international student can feel like spinning plates while walking a tightrope. In this podcast episode, we hit the streets of Canada to hear directly from students who are living that life every single day. From night shifts to taking mental health days and staying in touch with family, each person’s story paints a picture. This is what it means to chase your dreams in a new country after the rose coloured glasses fall off.The answers we got are raw, funny, and full of honesty. You’ll hear how some students learned to prioritize rest without feeling guilty about it, how others find community in unexpected places, and how they all handle the pressure to “succeed” abroad. Whether you’re a student yourself, someone who’s been there, or just curious about what life looks like behind the fun reels and Pinterest photos, this episode offers both perspective and empathy.Tune in to listen, reflect, and maybe even rethink what a work-life balance really means. A lot of the time, it’s not about having it all together. Most of us are just finding a rhythm that works.Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.
