Studying in Canada
 
Hi There........

I am going to be studying in Canada in 2010. I have narrowed it down to 3 courses that I wish to chose from, with one of those being a masters. I have done extensive research and I know everything I need to know.......Except, I would like to know something about what it is actually like to study in a Canadian University.

Are there any non Canadian nationals that have studied in a Canadain Uni that can give me a heads up on what studying full time is like in Canada?
Is there anything I need to be mindful about that may not be in a pespectus or common knowledge?

Any first hand info would be appreciated as I am one for being as best prepared as I can be!!!!!!....


Thanks....

No they don't.

BTW a prospectus is called a calendar. A course is a programme, and a subject is a course. Or it was at my Ontario college.

Which universities are you considering? Your experiences will vary depending on where you go.
