About
If you’re a pretty good student, you’ll be interested to know that the University of Calgary (U of C for short) gives away over $12 million in scholarships, awards, and bursaries to undergraduate students each and every year. You have to like Canadian universities that are so generous.
You may also be interested to know that as far as Canadian universities go, this one has quite a strong athletic department with over 40 (to date) athletes having won Olympic medals! More of a fan than an athlete? U of C rewards school spirit, too. Every time you attend a varsity game and cheer on your team, you earn points that you can redeem for t-shirts, mugs, or even an iPad!
Sounds pretty cool so far, doesn’t it? So, let’s explore this school a little more, shall we?

Get a Bachelor of Nursing degree and complete your post secondary program here in Calgary, or perhaps Qatar!

Athletics
Attend the annual Kickoff tailgate party and football game.
Enjoy access to U of C’s Outdoor Centre where you can hike, bike, climb, raft, kayak, and do a whole lot more if you’re so inclined. (Get it? Inclined? Climbing . . . hiking? Ha Ha!)

Pick up a stick, tie on some skates, and get involved in the Ringette club.
Football fans should note that McMahon Stadium is home to not only the Dino football team, but the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders as well!

Gather with friends at That Empty Space where you can enjoy free music and arts, or simply have a nice place to study besides your room or the library.

Extracurricular Activities
