Situated on the Ottawa and Rideau rivers and the Rideau Canal, the city boasts a park-like ambience with interconnecting waterways and extensive walking and biking trails. From this national capital, it’s just a five-hour drive to Toronto while Montreal is only two hours away. The climate in Ottawa as in the rest of Canada, is cold and windy. Spring comes in April and May with moderate temperatures and heavy rainfall. Summer months are from June to August with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 38°C. Winter begins in late November and lasts until the end of March with temperatures dropping between -10°C and -6°C, and sometimes as low as -34°C. The Canadian winter will probably be the biggest shock for Indian students and warm clothing is sine qua non. Campus facilities.
