Calgary is very well located for "weekend trips" to all national parks, Lake Louise, Banff, but also Edmonton and Vancouver and Seattle.

“Expérience satisfaisante”

Overall

J'ai eu une meilleure expérience qui sur dépasse une expérience d'études au canada. C était plus une expérience de vie qui m as appris en plus de la langue anglaise, l intégration et l ouverture sur de nouveaux univers.
Dans une classe acceuillant des étudiants d une dizaines de nationalités, les professeurs nous ont étaient des alliés à se familiariser avec la culture canadienne en plus d'apprendre.

Pros

Le sens relationnel et d intégration, adaptabilité, acceptation du changement

It's worth going to Banff, which is situated in the Rocky Mountains and just one hour from Calgary or to Vancouver which is just two hours from Calgary by plane.
