Personal recommendation:
Campus life is great and especially the International House offers a great cross cultural experience. I can highly recommend this university for everybody! I had a great time and don´t wanna miss at all. FINAL COMMENTS
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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Don't bring too many clothes - you'll definitely buy a lot and have problems with closing your suitcase :-)) If you want to go snowboarding or skiing; I brought my board as it was much more convenient than renting the stuff. In my opinion:

Personal recommendation:
Start early with your papers and term projects as some of them are really time consuming. Don't hesitate to contact or talk to the teachers, they will help you as much as they can. FINAL COMMENTS
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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I should have brought less clothes with me as I bought a lot and at the end I had really troubles to close my suitcase. I should have brought my snowboard with me as renting is quite expensive and time-consuming. In my opinion:

Personal recommendation:
Don't oversee when a paper is due and write some of them earlier (if possible) as they are all pretty time-consuming. Always be kind to all teachers and students and ask for help if needed as they are all really willing to help. FINAL COMMENTS
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! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
The work and activities at the International Centre was great through the year. Also the location and the opportunities for travel (to the Rockies, hiking, skiing etc.) were great. FINAL COMMENTS
I recommend you to go there a few weeks earlier than the term starts, as you can enjoy the summer & all the festivals in Edmonton. Also it's easier to find a cheap accommodation when you start looking before everybody else :) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
