The Capital Advantage
Consistently ranked as one of Canada’s most livable and safe cities, Ottawa is a diverse and multicultural city with interconnecting waterways, park-like greenery and extensive walking and biking trails. For UnderGrad, Grad, MA, and PhD students who choose to study here, Ottawa offers invaluable research facilities and work opportunities at the numerous agencies, institutions, and businesses in the city.
Although known primarily as the seat of Canada’s federal government, Ottawa is so much more! Elegant shops, international restaurants, movie theatres, nightclubs, beaches, Dows Lake, fresh waterways, Hog’s Back Park, and a bustling farmers’ market flourish in a dynamic downtown core situated in the shadow of Canada’s majestic Parliament buildings.
Ottawa is also known for its many festivals such as Bluesfest, Tulip Fest, Winterlude and many more. With all Ottawa has to offer – no matter where your tastes and interests lie, you’ll find something here!
Did we mention that Carleton University is on an island, right beside the Rideau River?
