How good is the public transit system? Can I use it to commute to campus from other places in the city?
Public transit is easily accessible from campus and many other parts of Edmonton; it is entirely possible to get around Edmonton without a vehicle. Check out the ETS link below for more info.
Many students also chose to cycle to campus. Edmonton has over 275km of shared paths and multi-use trails perfect for a morning ride to classes and an additional 117 km of bike lanes and on-street routes to help protect cyclists on the road. Heck, you can even take your bike on the LRT and on certain bus routes.
