Queen’s Pub - Kingston, Ontario

This is one of the most prestigious universities in North America. I knew after graduating with only a Bachelor's degree, I would never succeed in acquiring any employment in Canada without two Canadian university degrees. Moreover, my profession can only be practiced with a post-graduate degree. The Global Financial Crisis ... resulted in millions of people being unemployed for years worldwide. These unforeseen victims of Unemployment only had high school degrees and one university degree from unrecognized schools. This unemployment epidemic persisted internationally for years. I've wrote about it extensively in my novel, entitled, 'When is Enough, Enough?' The Global Financial Crisis also caused the value of homes to plummet. Essentially, they were only worth 50% of the original price of the home. Although, no one can live in a neighbourhood rife with unemployment and destitution. So, there were never any buyers. Conversely, the post-graduate program I applied for in 2006 had over 700 applicants. These were people who had applied to over a dozen other post-graduate programs across Canada, including the University of Toronto and McGill. Some of these people were accepted in multiple post-graduate programs, so they rejected all the offers but one. Paradoxically, hundreds of applicants had zero acceptance letters. They never received any refund for their application fees. Instead, they had to wait an entire year to re-apply for all 16 programs across Canada. However, I never had this rejection problem. I accepted my offer to the QUEENS University post-graduate program specializing in Research in Science. I had to take seven courses a semester, as well as complete a thesis predicated on my research. This revolved around Prochaska's Transtheoretical Model of Behavioural Change. I also needed to maintain a B+ average. Anyone who failed to do this was removed from the program.Hence, I never had time or energy for many of Kingston's recreational activities. Although, given that the temperature remained below zero for 5 months of the year, that really deterred a lot of people from outdoor activities, including driving. Unless you have experience driving in sleet, ice, fog and snow there's no point driving here. Moreover, cars don't last long in these conditions due to significant CORROSION. Cars also depreciate in value as soon as you drive them off a lot with every additional mile.Conversely, a Queen's University degree never does. Read more

Recommend booking a guided tour! Apparently the exterior of all the buildings went through renovations this year! This university is centrally located in downtown Kingston, close to city centre, harbor and the Kingston general hospital.
