Al snel werd duidelijk dat deze universiteit er alles aan zou doen om ons, als internationale studenten thuis te doen voelen. Voor elk probleem was een oplossing en een persoon met wie we konden praten. Eenzaam zal je je niet snel voelen in Guelph. Naast alle uitwisselingsstudenten zijn er vele vriendelijke Canadezen die kennis met je willen maken.
