Everybody must see Rocy mountains especially if you like any kind of outdoor sports. Don't worry about the cold weather you learn how to manage it:)

This term at the U of A was a great time and I can just recommend it to everybody! Don't fear the winter!! Though it is very cold, the dry air makes it feel warmer. I didn't need other winter clothing than home in Austria! The U of A is a great university, I would always return to Edmonton!
