  • The University has multiple campuses in Calgary
    • 1. Main campus
    • 2. Foothills campus
    • 3. Spy Hill campus
    • 4. Downtown campus.
  • I only used to visit the main campus and didn't visit others. Main campus had around 4-5 libraries with one main central library. There were a lot of sports facilities, including gymnasiums, swimming pools, badminton and squash courts.
  • During my time, it was the COVID pandemic, so we didn't have much festivals and all, but yes, there used to be career fairs, concerts, and stand-up comedy shows regularly before that.
  • There was a Graduate Student Association (GSA), which had people who could support you for things like accommodation, transit, medical, tax filing, etc.

  • I was staying in an off-campus accommodation. I was staying in a 2-bedroom apartment in downtown. It was a shared accommodation where I was staying with 3 other guys.
  • I found them through Facebook and WhatsApp groups prior to landing in Canada. The monthly rent was around $1500 but increased to around $1800 next year.
  • The rent included water and electricity. The main challenge in shared accommodation is that its tough to trust someone you haven't met before.
  • My recommendation is to either stay in downtown or stay close to the university. My accommodation was a 15-20-minute transit ride away from the university. Most of the Indian students stayed near the university or in downtown.

The campus is fairly lively, with events held by clubs and organizations on a fairly frequent basis. The university has a reputation for being a commuter campus which means that some days it can be quite quiet around the grounds. Besides that, everything else is top-notch with high-speed wifi, clean facilities, and a selection of food and beverage vendors.

I have no idea the average rental price on campus as though I don’t live there. However, I know that the average apartment in this city can range from 600-1000$ a month for rental on the low end.

I live in a privately rented apartment 3 train stops away from the university and it costs me 1022 CAD per month. I do not share with anyone. Average cost needed per month is 1500 per month if the student is sharing a space.

There are lots of clubs and societies that organize different events; you will see the clubs organizing social events and societies organizing industrial visits and networking events. Few libraries have enough quiet space for studying. On the whole campus, your phone is always connected to the university's high-speed wifi, from which you can easily access research papers, books and other important articles. As for the sports, I don't know any common sport that you can not play here, but these all are indoors, since here most of the time over the year outside accumulated with snow.

I am living in a shared house with 3 people(including me). We have rent of 650$/month and its main floor, and the house is at walking distance from the university. I would suggest the same because it has a private room. Here, on-campus housing is a bit expensive as compared to private. I also know some students live in apartments to save money, but in that case, you have to share the room.

Very good plenty to do in every way possible. Sports, recreation, movies anything you can think of. The university has its own football stadium and and Olympic ice skating ring also hosted the Olympics back in 90’s.

On campus accommodation is limited and expensive but really nice to have as there is heavy snow fall almost all of fall and winter terms and temps as low as -35 C can be expected in the winter so it is really nice to be on campus as all the residence builds are connected via tunnels to all buildings on campus never have to go out in the cold.

There are many clubs and their events, many places to focus and read, etc. The libraries are having plethora of books to choose from including topics of spiritual and mental wellness. WiFi facility is available throughout the campus which is a great thing for the students.

Your rent basically depends on the area you are choosing to stay. There are places to stay near the campus itself it will be a bit expensive. Probably more than 550 cad and other utility charges. I live about 1.5km away from campus but it's near to a Mall so it is 510cad+ 40% utility charges . So expect a total of around 600 and Groceries worth 150. There will be places with less rent though but I just chose this place because its 10 minutes walking distance to my work.
