It's a small campus but still loads of things to do. Very similar in teaching method to Australia. Diverse student body and Canadians are very open and welcoming.

Go. It will be one of the most memorable times of your university studies. You will meet great people, make loads of friends and never want to leave!! And the snow and winter time in Canada is an experience you don't want to miss (coming from someone who hates the cold!).

University of Ottawa is a cozy place. It is perfect to get started. Besides, if you come from Europe, as I do, it becomes your new home very quickly, due to the "disconnection" you feel from your home country. Be aware that Canada is 6 hours away from Europe: you will be living another life.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
On-campus residence is a must for first-timers at University of Ottawa. Once you've been there, though, you'd rather look for a more independent way of life -maybe moving in an apartment downtown with former Residence people from your floor!

Personal comments
There is a serious shortage in housing on campus, so you should apply early for it, and insist! All shared facilities residences are pretty much the same, and you have easy access to laundry, café, security... Residence life is friendly and informal. That's where you'll probably meet your best friends.

you get used to the sharing, we really don't know that in France, that's a good thing, but there were cleanliness issues and noise !
