There are also many off campus housing options available for mature students with families, located next to the campus, as well as townhouses located in a more central downtown location. Fort McMurray offers many amenities, including public pools, parks and recreational complexes, restaurants, nightclubs and a movie theatre.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“The roaring alongside he takes for granted,
and that every so often the world is bound to shake.
He runs, he runs to the south, finical, awkward,
in a state of controlled panic, a student of Blake.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“There was something so free and self-contained about him, something in the young fellow’s movements, that made that officer aware of him. And this irritated the Prussian. He did not choose to be touched into life by his servant.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
