2. To develop myself personally.
3. To experience a new culture or lifestyle.
4. To access higher quality teaching.
5. To have an adventure.
6. To make new friends or widen my professional network.

Canada was ranked number one and we couldn’t be happier! They described Canada as follows:
Known for its untouched natural beauty, friendly and welcoming locals, and a culture of tolerance and diversity, Canada is a clear choice for students looking to study abroad. Canadian universities are known for their technological innovations, especially in the fields of computer and information technologies. While the costs of tuition are significantly lower, its universities can rival those of the US or UK. Thanks to their policy of multiculturalism, Canada is very diverse and welcomes people from all over the world. Most Canadians speak English, but French is the mother tongue of a fifth of the population so it’s a great place to brush up on both languages. There’s also lots to discover outside of the classroom, especially for nature lovers who can hike, climb, ski, and swim their way through its vast wilderness. You can do all of this knowing that Canada is also considered a safe and friendly environment!
We are also proud that EC has destinations in four of the top 10 rankings! The United Kingdom, USA, Australia and Canada.
