Besides, I met the international students. There are not many new exchange students this semester, only 8, including 5 French students. But in the group there are many foreign permanent students or some who arrived in September. Parties are organized in a house, off campus, or in a flat on campus, very weekend.  Many Canadian people are invited and join us, that make often a good atmosphere, with more or less 30 people. There is a pub on campus, called “the inn”, with different kind of parties: rather calm and informal, people are sat around table and drink, talk…with a band who plays guitar, as in a bar, so or club atmosphere with electro music, to dance. There are also bars downtown. I have never tested yet, but I’m planning to do it.

I have met also other people, students from teamwork, or by acquaintances, or through societies or parties, and I get in touch with some of them: I went at their place or had a coffee together. I met quite a few Chinese people also, really nice, and as many are in business, we are often together in work groups.

Meanwhile, it is not easy to get integrated with Canadian people, because they already have their friends, their habits. They don’t try to meet new people and to make new friends. Moreover, they are here to get their degree, they work more than us so.  Fortunately, there was the JAM, and it was a great opportunity to me.
