About
If you’re a tad anxious as you research Canadian universities, check out The University of Manitoba. This school offers a unique program called University 1 which offers all kinds of support for first-year students. You can read more about it here, but it certainly caught our attention!
This nice place has even published a U1 Start Book, which helps you map out your university program and even suggests what courses you should be taking at the high school level to prepare! Since the University of Manitoba is one of our oldest Canadian universities, having been around since 1877, we’re pretty sure they know what they’re doing there. University of Manitoba is, after all, the first western university.
