McGill University, Canada
McGill University’s campus bustles with energy and offers numerous options for recreation. The grey limestone buildings against the backdrop of colorful surroundings make for a splendid display of the school. Students can take advantage of the huge Molson Stadium, take part in athletics, access the Gymnasium, and take a swim in the Memorial pool. The Macdonald-Stewart Library Building and the Statue of Queen Victoria at the Strathcona Music Building exhibit the fine architecture of the University.

Laval University, Canada
Located in the historic city of Quebec is the beautiful Laval University. This architectural wonder is a mix of old and new, with several amazing buildings like the Seminaire de Quebec, Pavillon Louis-Jacques-Casault and the Palasis-Prince building. If you are running late for a class, just use the convenient underground walkways which connect the buildings on campus. The campus has a lush botanical garden with a variety of trees and birds—a perfect spot to relax and connect with nature.
