From Kazakhstan to Toronto: Aliya’s Inspiring Journey with U of T Family Housing
Aliya sits in the sun-filled Residence Life Office of University Family Housing (UFH) in downtown bouncing her son, Nazir, on her lap. Her husband Ualikhan, and doting mother-in-law Nurilya, look on with delight. Grandma, visiting from Kazakhstan, wants to take in all the grandson vibes she can before heading back home.
It’s a perfectly natural scene, and they all seem right at home. At first glance, you would never know just how far away “home” is for them. Spaces & Experiences recently had a chance to sit down with this beautiful family and hear all about their incredible journey from Kazakhstan to U of T and all the remarkable stops in between.
