[quote=Anonymous]I went there for a master’s degree. The St. George campus is big & bustling, but not overwhelming. It’s well organized, & has ample large green spaces.

There are tons of bars & restaurants within a block of campus. Also multiple subway stops just off campus. Drinking age is 19. Sports don’t get much interest, but there is no lack of opportunities for college-style socializing.

You meet people from allover the world on- and off-campus, especially Asian countries & British Commonwealth countries.

Weather is cold but you get used to it.

There is a prevailing attitude that you are at the best & most interesting university in the country, which seems to breed confidence & contentment, not cockiness.

The Canadian high schools seem to do a very good job of educating their students, so pretty much everyone you meet is sharp. Students who don’t have a lot on the ball seem to know they won’t do well there, so they either don’t apply or don’t get in.

All in all it’s a great place to get exposed to a foreign university & lifestyle without subjecting yourself to long travel or harsh culture shock. [/quote]
