University of Alberta

Go to Vancouver or travel across the country (take yourself enough time before or after term!), join UoA-Outdoors Club, Get together with the people. They are incredible frindly and open-minded. You'll love them. Have fun!

I would recommend going snowboarding to the Rockies; Lake Louise, Banff, Golden (Jasper is not too good). Vancouver and whole British Columbia are great as well as Toronto and the lakes.

you're to do list: *) take a car and drive to vancouver and seattle - you'll love the rockies *) take a car and have some fun in lake louise and sunshine (wintersport) *) don't forget to go to calgary *) if you can got to toronto and quebec too

Studying abroad is the most wonderful and enlightening experience for any student. The benefits are tremendous, it will open many doors for you in your future. It will build your character, enhance your skills and teach you new ones. Be prepared by researching the uni you choose, their course selcetion ..program of study etc but also research the place so that you are prepared for weather and the culture....being aware of things that you will need to accommodate within your lifestyle is essential for a smooth stay in any forieng country.Keep in contact with your uni international office ...always ask questions.

If you want to travel a lot and see the nature and area around Edmonton it would be a good a idea to get togehter in small group and buy a cheap car together. As distances are very long and grocery shopping can be very exhausting an own car could boost convenience.

I would definitely recommend to see Vancouver. It is a really amazing city which has to offer a lot! Also Banff and its national park is worth seeing and for skiers and snowboarders I would recommend Sunshine and Lake Louise!! The most important thing is to be friendly all the time as Canadians are the kindest people I've ever met!
