Personal comments
Winnipeg ois not really a great place to party. however during the extremely cold winter it is pretty enough to have a place such as the wyse guys on campus to have fun. Outside the campus, everything is pretty far but good.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
arrived prepared , with a lot of energy and keep in mind that even if it is hard and uncommun compared to what you could know before, you learn a lot and not especially only at school. You learn a lot on yourself, on your abilities to live abroad and far away from you family and your environment.
But if you can go abroad :: GOOOOOOO !!!
