What kind of place was it?
Student Residence
How much was the rent per month?
Around 700€/months
Where was it located?
On the campus
How can someone find this place?
On the uni website
Would you recommend it?
Well located, very close to my classes. Very expensive for the quality and doesn't provide anything (cooking ustensiles, cleaning...).
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
The university organises a lot of events but the city is not very full of life. Only a few places on Whyte Avenue.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Be careful to which level you take. the first digit of the course number basically represents its level (300 for third year, 400 for 4...). The overall courses I took (finance and economics) were not so easy.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is great, if you like sport this is definitely a great choice.
Best trips to do?
You can easily go to banff and Jasper national parks in the rocket mountains (~3h drive). However, it is very complicated to travel without a car and the minimum age to rent is 21. You can easily travel to other Canadian or even American cities by plan. The tickets are not expensive if you book early and not during school vacation.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Edmonton?
Edmonton in itself is not the best city to visit but if you like nature and hiking, its surroundings are perfect for that. The night life is decent but finishes early (1-2 am).
