Experience:

semi-countryside feeling at times can see wild animals at house backyard

Near Toronto and Niagara Falls, great weekend getaway

alot of HongKong students doing MBA.

Alot of smart peole, did not study hard can pass with C but cannot get good grades like A and B.

Weather: 1 advise it is the windchill that makes things bad, no wind, it can go below -10C and it can still feel alright! When it is snowing it feel warmer when snow melts it feels much colder. Near the coast is not as cold as central Canada. 95% of the the time you are indoors, have heat! A chance to try skiing and dress in winter fashion!
