CEC is closed.

Of the 3 cities, Vancouver has the best weather. That is because, Vancouver is a coastal city, its climate is moderated by the sea. Montreal and Toronto are way inland. If you remember your form 2 geography, land retains and loses heat faster than the sea. So come summer, it can get really hot......35 or so hotter than malaysia. In winter, the temperature drops more than any temperate country in Europe. The prairies have the most extreme weather, 40 in the peak of summer, -30 or more during the cold months of winter. Julat suhu=70. That is why Toronto has a relatively better climate than Montreal, Lake Ontario is just off Toronto. Also consider, Stockholm and Helsinki, they are further north than those Canadian cities, but the coldest that they get is like -10. Why? Coastal cities.......

I'm looking into actuarial science or chemistry. I'm looking at Canada universities because I realised that they might be much cheaper than Australia which is now close to RM120-150k. Furthermore, a few Canadian universities have higher world ranking than Australian universities.
CEC is pulling out of SE Asia.

I was just browsing my uni's job postings today. A part time admin on-campus job for international students pays CAD$10/hour. I'm guessing the average would probably be $7-11/hr...

Whoa, you remembered!?!?! Feels like ages ago when i was plagued with deciding what major i should pursue. Basically, i had a hard time in A-Levels, screwed it up completely (even after having worked especially hard in Further Math & Physics too...) which served as a wake up call for me, well, sort of... Took a somewhat radical change in direction and spent little more than a year in ADTP as a Psychology major, and thoroughly enjoyed the learning process in the more holistic American education system. Ended up in Canada, where the legal age to drink is 18 instead of 21, muahahahaha XD

Well, there's a highly ranked private school here around my place which offers IB. I assume other schools do too.

Hey guys, I'm considering twinning over to Dalhousie University in Canada to complete my medical course. Anyone here has any experience studying over there? Was wondering how the environment and the locals over there are like biggrin.gif Thanks in advance!

Is it that difficult to go to the university web page and find the answer. Or are you waiting to be spoonfed

Cool cain! How's it like over at Dalhousie? Have you been enjoying your time over there? Are there many Malaysian students studying over there? Oh, and are the locals friendly? I've heard that some can be pretty racist. Sorry for the pile load of questions!

No need to apologize lah~ I'll do my best to answer your questions.

I know IMU partners with Dal for their medical program, and i know there's definitely some M'sians here, wouldn't say 'many' and i haven't met them personally though... There're lots of Chinese students from China here to study business/commerce and Indian students from India here to study Computer Science... I have no direct experience being at the receiving end of racist comments, or perhaps i was just oblivious to them, i dunno, hehe...

Basically, i am taking longer than i expected to adjust. I haven't developed this 'love' for the school yet, as many students and Haligonians would. I actually find speaking to strangers in the shops or bus-stops easier than speaking to my peers in class tongue.gif The school's fine, the people're fine, its me where the problem is. I'm sure you'd fare much better than me, so ignore my cynicism ya wink.gif

You'll probably be happier doing psych........Is the drinking age in Nova Scotia 18 too? It's 19 in Ontario and 18 in Quebec.

Small town but nevertheless, it's gonna be the best time of your life. Study hard but don't forget to party harder too. You're in psych, it shouldn't be that hard and there will be more girls in your program. So work on it...........

Sounds like a pretty decent place smile.gif Is it easy to get your way around Dal area? Oh, and how long have you been studying over at Canada? Btw, I'm sure you'd having yourself a bigger social circle after you've really settled down. Just give it some time smile.gif Thanks for sharing!

Well, Dal is right around the downtown area, and there're plenty of convenience and drug stores scattered here and there, not to mention a whole shopping street just next door, so you should be able to get most of what you need within walking distance. Also there's a bus pass that's included in everyone's tuition fee, you can't opt out of it, which is great for students like me without a car.

Was a little bit surprised to see you asking about Dal, since i have never heard of it before i came here, and i expect most people don't too tongue.gif

Oh, and i've actually only been here for a couple of months, since Sept.
