University of Waterloo

There is the possibility to go on campus (Columbia Lake Village, 2 terms only) which cost much more! I was lucky with my house and the people, on the other hand, if you'd like to meet lots of exchange students, go on campus!

Although is very comfortable place to live and very near the University, everything is arranged and there are too many rules. Price was pretty expensive too. Anyway living on campus you have the chance to meet many people

I had stayed in a residence called 'Columbia Lake Village' which is espeacilly for exchange student and upper-year canadian student for 8 months, and had lived off-campus for 4 months. The cost is a bit higher than market price, but the residence, CLV, offered a very nice garden, clean housing and great opportunity to make social connection. CLV runned its own programs such as Holloween party, BBQ party and niagara trip etc, so that people could actually have a chance to get to know each other.

Even if the language was different, i really adapted fast to this new life, i was a member of the international student association ( i organized trips around Canada and United States), i was also the captain of an international indoor soccer team. My first semester was a real success and thaks to my grades,one professor allowed me to follow the next semester a master course about mathematicals models for finance

The accomodation at the University was excellent, where I stayed they made the stay enjoyable and had many activities, also there is a great range of accomodation.

was great and unoomplicated
