Overall
I wish I had known...
Bishop's was a great experience! I made a lot of International friends and some Canadians. Had opportunity to travel around. There was a great deal of partying. Classes and the teachers were truly great. I highly recomend it if you want to experience living in a small town basically dominated by the university.

When we travelled we took the bus or rented a car and did pretty well and managed to get around. Some others tried Allo-Stop and also did well. Ok if you want to go see the whales or Niagara Falls don't hesitate and go before the temperature drops!
