UCalgary Recap

July 23, 2023November 17, 2025 Waikato Global Experiences

One of my highlights from my exchange was spending so much time around the snow, playing in it, seeing snow falling all around me, skating, tubing, skiing, and snowmobiling. It’s something we really don’t get in NZ so truly made living in Calgary a totally unique experience for me. Continue reading UCalgary Recap

Life at University of Calgary

July 17, 2023November 17, 2025 Waikato Global Experiences

UCalgary is in a unique spot compared to New Zealand, due to the large amount of snow they get, especially in their Winter term (ie. January-April).
