More Canada Details

Bonjour,

On Tuesday we had an Skype meeting with some of the folks at the Université de Moncton. Below are some of the highlights of what we found out about the program!
  • There will be approximately 100 students from around Canada and the U.S. studying at the Université during the length of our stay.
  • Moncton is approximately 40% french speaking. However, French is 100% required and enforced on campus, even in the dorms.
  • On June 30th is when we register, get our dorm keys and attend a welcome dinner. August 1st we take our language placement test, and August 2nd, classes begin.
  • Each week day we will have class from 8:00am-11:45am. 3 times per week we will have work shops and on weekends we will have culture activities!
  • Our dorms are single rooms/studios with a bathroom, mini fridge and a microwave. 
  • Weekday lunches will be provided in the cafeteria, while other meals will be covered by a weekly stipend which can be used at restaurants and at the grocery store.
  • There is a mall about 10 minutes away from campus!
Though it's still 2 months off, the suspense is killing me! I can't wait to find out more!

À bientôt!
