When you arrive in Calgary, you may need to arrange a short-term place to stay if you arrive early or to give you time to find a long-term off-campus rental.We strongly recommend that you plan to stay somewhere short-term, to avoid agreeing to a long-term rental without first meeting the landlord, visiting and inspecting the property, and testing out commute options from the property to UCalgary campus.Living on campus is a great option for international students. Students who choose to live on-campus do so because it allows you to be conveniently located close to your classes as well as other campus resources and provides great opportunities for meeting other students.

Class content and discussions were great and I enjoyed my degree. However, every degree and program is different which yields different responses. I loved the Health Science stream and would recommend it to other people. From other faculties though, I would do more rigorous teaching reviews for the people teaching at U of C as some professors should not be teaching, and should be given a standard for what should be taught within the class instead of coming up with their own content.
My experience was a bit hectic and the beginning but as things went,l began to adapt to Campus life and the opportunity to associate with different students from various works of life,My experience was really great,Thanks to StudyPortal
The classes were excellent. There was definitely better facilities for science programs, where the Arts programs did not have much going on. Regardless still a great experience. For anyone interested in film there is a good television production club.
