Université de Sherbrooke & city of Sherbrooke (coop, university)

[Kristan]

Who has been to the Université de Sherbrooke, or lived in/near Sherbrooke?

What are the university and town like? I've read the wikipedia listings for both, and seen their websites, but was wondering if anyone had a more personal impression to share of them.

Thanks =)

I have never lived there but I know quite a few people who went to university there. Most really like the university and the city. The university has an excellent co-op program for its students.

I have heard a lot of people say they would have stayed in Sherbrooke after graduation but there aren't enough job opportunities there, so many graduates leave for Montreal, Quebec City and Gatineau (in fact, a lot of the U de S's coop internships are in these cities, and the students just stay on with the employers after graduation).

Thanks for the info.
