[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those who know Canada, what can you tell me about Queen’s?

My DD was looking at their technical-track art history program, but I don’t know much about the school or the city. It has one of the few North American graduate programs in art conservation, but from what people have said here, I’m not seeing much about the school’s general reputation in the humanities. And it’s hard to get a read on what Kingston is like.

She’s doing an IB diploma with French as one of her HLs, and thinks she should be able to get up to speed with French fairly easily. Probably not enough to take classes in French yet, but at least enough to live in a bilingual city. [/quote]Love Queen's and like Kingston a lot. The vibe is kinda mini-Wisconsin, but prettier and not as sports-crazed (but still extremely spirited by Canadian standards). Very little French actually spoken in either the school or the town. The business ("commerce") school is the university's strongest, but nothing's weak there; the university is in the tier right below McGill/Toronto/UBC. I'm pretty sure Fiske has a write-up on Queen's.[/quote]

Thanks—this is helpful! I wasn’t sure where to look for stuff on Canadian schools, but I’ll suggest she check Fiske.

We knew the instruction would be in English, but weren’t sure how bilingual the city was. That might actually be a negative for her, as she was hoping to be forced to practice her French in real-world settings. [/quote]
