Queen's is one of Canada's leading universities, with an international reputation for scholarship, research, social purpose, spirit and diversity. Consistently highly-ranked, Queen's is known for its incomparable 24-hour learning environment. Great teaching, great students, community and tradition - these are the hallmarks of the Queen's experience.

The University was established by Royal Charter of Queen Victoria in 1841 - twenty-six years before Canadian confederation. Classes were first held in 1842. The earliest degree-granting institution in the united Province of Canada, and the first to establish a student government, Queen's has reflected and helped shape Canadian values and policies, educating many of the country's most notable political and cultural figures.

I went to this school for 5 years. Not only is it beautiful to walk around and take in, the atmosphere of the campus is unmistakable. I highly recommend it for undergrad as the Frosh Week is unmatchable and, as one of Canada's oldest universities, you'll be a part of traditions that have been carried on for years and years!

If just visiting Kingston, take a walk through and then follow the waterfront trail along to Confederation Basin. Beauty!
