Edmontonians can save a ton of cash by using student-led services
We are fortunate to have a fairly healthy student population in Edmonton.
Not only does it keep us super young and cool, but many college and university programs will also turn to the public to provide students with real-world experience after years of theory and practice in labs and on inanimate objects.
The result is a total win-win scenario for everyone. You pay a great price for a professional service, and a student gains first-hand, relevant experience in their field.
It is often top-quality work, too, because in addition to students wanting to do things properly so they can pass, their teachers, experts in their fields, keep a close eye on everything going on.
