University of Ottawa

University of Ottawa;
higher education in the city.

University of Ottawa; the ideal university for the city-loving student, as the University of Ottawa campus is located right in the heart of Ottawa, and it's been an integral part of Ottawa's cityscape since 1848!

Students and faculty at the University of Ottawa are within comfortable walking distance of the Parliament Buildings , and can steep themselves in the lore and history of this working monument to Canada�s government.

Attendees and visitors are a stone�s throw from Byward Market , offering shopping, restaurants, and night life to suit almost any taste.

The campus is adjacent to the Rideau Canal and the kilometers of walking / jogging / cycling paths bordering it. Run, walk or cycle past some beautiful scenery including the world famous Tulip Festival in season.

�University
Most areas of campus have ready access to Ottawa�s renowned OC Transpo System, providing timely and reliable public transit throughout the Ottawa area.

The University of Ottawa campus offers visitors and students a wonderful mix of heritage buildings interspersed with modern architecture in lecture halls, administration buildings and residences.

Students at U of O are welcome to join their almost 35,000 fellow students; undergrads - grads - and international (2005 statistics), and study in the discipline of their choice in either of Canada's two official languages - English and French. Too, there is the possibility of total French immersion in some undergrad programs.

This really resonates with our family as our eldest daughter achieved her honours degree

With her solely Anglophone background, we're amazed and pleased that she is now teaching elementary schoolchildren in Ontario, in a total French immersion program.
