The best place to live while studying is the campus. My personal favorite: the International House, where you get to meet a lot of international students that share your situation.

Personal comments
Whyte Avenue was the best area in Edmonton. That's were all the cool shops, cafes and nightlife is. There's also a very good vegetarian cafe/restaurant called Cafe Mosaics, and a cheap second hand record store, Blackbird's. The best atmosphere for booklovers is found at the Chapters. (on Whyte as well.)
The best live music place is The Sidetrack Cafe in down town.

Personal comments
Suprisingly, I had no money problems although I travelled and went out a lot. Cost-saving tip: grocery shopping once a week at "Superstore" - really cheap and great range of goods.
for smokers: bring cigarettes with you! one package was about 7 EUR!!

Scholars at 87th Ave is a very nice Pub with good and cheap beer. Sugarbowl on 88th Ave is the best Cafe, you can study there for hours without being kicked out.
The "one club" on Whyte Ave is good if you wanna go out with a group of friends, as it has a lot of space. But there are a lot of good places on Whyte Ave!

Personal comments
The housing facilities are great! Living alone is rather expensive! Social life in the residence is supported by certain events and nice personnel! Especially the HUB Mall and a house on East CAmpus Village are recommendable!
