Queens University, Canada

Queen's University at Kingston is a public research university located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Kingston is a home-away-from-home not only for students from Queen’s but also for those attending the Royal Military College and St. Lawrence College.

Kingston is big enough to provide all the conveniences of modern life yet it is small enough for students, staff, and faculty to feel instantly comfortable and at home. In 2012, Kingston ranked as the 3rd best place to live in Canada. Queen’s is an integral part of the Kingston community with the campus nestled in the core of the city and only a 10-minute walk to downtown.
