Moving from the US to Ottawa. What is it like? (high school, university)

[canadaottawa]

Hey everyone,

I'm a student from the US (PA) taking part in the international student program and I'll be moving to Ottawa in August for my last year of high school and then will be attending university there. I was just wondering what the transition will be like between the two countries. Is the school system any different? Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

What is it like is such an open-ended thing, plus it's hard to be too specific as I don't know your context.

What I can tell you is that it should be a good experience in broadening your perspectives with more sophisticated milieus, plus just being in the capital and then visiting Montreal will give you perspectives you won't have elsewhere. Do it! Enjoy! Share your experiences!
