      In the library, there is a study space opening 24 hours with heater and AC, and I can study whenever I want. It’s a good for me because I am a person that cannot study at home.

      The townhouses, dormitories and classrooms are all within 10 to 15 minutes walk which is very cost effective especially for international students who might not have cars to move around. This also literally preserves your life since this place is among the coldest in the region, it means you don't get exposed to the harsh cold for long during winter.

      The professors are really friendly and care about your success so everyone looks out for you, the International Admissions office here specifically is very helpful, always notifying us about all opportunities available for international students, this ranges from getting us jobs, driving licenses, we have shopping trips to Walmart every week because they know we don't have cars. They are always reminding us about what we need within the law to stay in the USA for example OPT applications, internships etc and they help you with the process. You can basically walk into their office with what you feel is the dumbest question and they will help you without judgement.

      There's a lot happening every week from talks by people like Margaret Atwood who we got last semester to political involvement trips like the FCNL spring lobbying that happens in Washington DC every spring.

      There are all types of clubs and you can only fail to be apart of one only if you really don't want to. There's something for everyone and international students have a special class that helps them transition and help them cope with the style of learning here since it might be different from their home countries.

      We are very close to the airport and the University provides transport for pick ups at the beginning of the semester and drop offs at the end, this happens for breaks in between as well. Very clean environment and a friendly community.
