Calgary, AB

Hey I lived on Glacier for a year and it was pretty decent as far as space and noise levels were concerned. It's definitely one of the newer buildings (I think only Global VIllage is newer) - and that's why rent is so steep. I'm currently on Castle which is ok but definitely older and smaller...and darker because of the trees that are nearby. Thankfully, it's warmer for some reason so we don't need to turn on the heat too high during winter.

If you want you can check out this site for off-campus housing: https://www.su.ucalgary.ca/ooch . Brentwood is one of the areas closest to the school, and downtown is maybe a 10-15 minute train ride away. As long as you're near to the C-Train line or somewhere with some reliable buses, you should be ok.

Hope some of that helped.

Thank you! The website is really helpful

I was just accepted to the University of Calgary and was wondering about the city itself. I am from the East Coast of Canada and have never been West of Ontario. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated as well how you find the city, what you like to do, etc.
