A world-class education is not the only thing to look forward to when you study at a top Canadian university like Waterloo.

As with any place you travel to, there’s so much to experience in the local culture. But unlike travelling to a destination on vacation, studying abroad really allows you to become part of the culture.

With more than 50,000 university and college students in Waterloo region, the area is full of shopping, restaurants, festivals, and more!

Canada’s 4 distinct seasons provide opportunities such as outdoor ice skating or beautiful hikes as the leaves change colours in the fall.

Waterloo’s International and Canadian Student Network (ICSN) is about connecting Canadian students with international and exchange students at Waterloo. Along with hosting social events on campus, they also plan trips to Canadian landmarks like Toronto and Niagara Falls.

Whether it’s salsa dancing, cooking, or anything in between, there are over 200 clubs at Waterloo and you won’t have trouble finding something fun to try.

With all it has to offer, Waterloo will be more than just a destination or a university, it will be the chance to experience a new kind of life.
