16 Struggles Torontonians Have Studying In Quebec

We're conditioned to our fate, we will never graduate.
Chelsey Anne

Many students from Toronto move out of province for their post- secondary education because they want to live away from home. A lot of these students make a  move to Quebec and for those of you who lived there, must agree you made the right decision!

As a proud Bishop's University Alumni, I had the opportunity to live in Quebec for 4 years. I must say those were some of the best days of my life because I experienced many new things on French Canadian soil (that probably would have never happened in Toronto). I was able to purchase my own alcohol, as soon as I turned 18 I ran to the SAQ!

However just like any other place, there are a couple of struggles I stumbled upon and I would like to share them with you. If you choose to study in Quebec, I promise you won't regret it, but just keep in mind these 16 Struggles Torontonians Have Studying In Quebec:

1.  Get ready for 100000000 cm of snow.
