Halifax, Nova Scotia

Dalhousie University is located in Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia. With a population of 420,000, Halifax is the perfect University city, boasting its small size and big attributes. A 10-minute walk from the Rowe School of Business will get you to the heart of downtown to enjoy the beautiful harbour view or shopping at a variety of stores.  In 30-minutes, you will find breathtaking ocean views, and over 185 acres of trails, at Point Pleasant Park (on foot), or you can join the surfers at Cow Bay, summer or winter, (by car).

"My exchange year was definitely one of the best experiences of my life, and I wish everyone could live this experience once. I have to go back in France for now, but I know I’ll be back one time here in Halifax because I discovered my other home.”
