How can someone find this place?
University Website
Would you recommend it?
Not really, It is expensive, dirty, and there is very little equipment and material provided in the residence
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Honestly, the social life is quite boring because the association view within Brock University is very limited for exchange students coming for one semester only, there is no school bar. In downtown Saint Catherine it is not better, there is the Irish bar in the city center, but not much to do around. If you don't have a car (which is very expensive since Canada is very big) you are quickly constrained.
🎓 Uni life at Brock University
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Recommend : communication in business / business and society Not recommend : entrepreneurship / marketing
Do you have some tips?
For Sport, the campus is amazing, you can litteraly practice every sport for free. The infrastructures are really impressive. I was disapointed by the Brock’s associative life, as it is complicated to join clubs during the middle of the academic year. Éven the social life is complicated, because with your Friends, if you don’t have a car, it is expensive and complicated to travel around Canada (12 hours of train and 700$ to go from Toronto to Vancouver !!).
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
Megabus (from Saint Catharines to a lot of different places in Canada), which is quite good and not that expensive.
🌆 St. Catharines vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in St. Catharines?
I thought the city was really boring, if you don’t travel it is horrible to stay in St Catharines a whole semester.
💡 Other Tips
Don’t go there, choose other places in Canada, but surely not Saint Catharines.
