Welcome Days at FSA ULaval was an incredible experience filled with friendship, adventure, and delicious cuisine.
Hey, I´m Daniela from Mexico and I´m coming for my exchange semester at the ULaval. Although I arrived alone from Mexico, I soon realized that I was surrounded by people from all over the world. It was exciting to meet so many international students and discover that I wasn´t alone at all, I met new friends from The Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, Chile, Germany, and Belgium; I even found 2 Mexican girls just like me. Despite the language barriers and some initial culture shocks, these days have allowed me to grow and learn in a unique way, they have marked an exciting start to my exchange semester and have shown me the beauty of global diversity :)
My personal highlights
Picture this: you´ve just arrived in the vibrant city of Quebec, ready to start your academic journey at the prestigious Université Laval. But, before you dive into the "academic world", your faculty organized a welcome party waiting just for you!
Food that´s sure to tantalize your taste buds is poutine, a Quebecois dish. As you savour the crispy fries smothered in rich gravy and cheese curd, you´ll discover a culinary delight that will keep you coming back for more.
But that´s just the beginning! FSA ULaval takes you on a tour of the PEPS, the university´s sports complex where you can try your hand at ice skating and hockey, two beloved Canadian pastimes that will have you feeling like a local in no time.
As you explore the campus and city, a quick bus tour and presentation will unveil the hidden treasures of Quebec City. You´ll be fascinated by its history, architecture, and vibrant cultural scene, leaving you with a profound appreciation for this enchanting city.
Yet, the true magic lies in the people you meet. I´d highly recommend this event as it is a melting pot of diverse cultures and backgrounds. You´ll make friendships with fellow students from all over the world, creating a network that lasts a lifetime.
