The city of trees

Fredericton

picture yourself here

Nestled along the shores of the Wolastoq River, Fredericton is as much urban energy as small-town charm. For students, living downtown is the ideal home base for exploring not just the attractions of the city, but the entire capital region. NBCCD is tucked within the history Garrison District in downtown Fredericton.

The city itself is rich in history, nature, art, dining, and a youthful energy—complements of the vibrant student population with three additional university and college campuses (University of New Brunswick, NBCC, and St. Thomas University).

You’ll spend your time primarily in the Historic Garrison District, with its countless festivals and events; explore downtown Fredericton’s restaurants, shops, pubs, and cafes; slow down with a visit to a gallery or art studio; and get closer to nature in a kayak, running a trail, or just hanging out in a park.
