Queen’s University Campus

04

Recommended by Alexey Surin

Don’t miss the opportunity to stroll around the amazing Queen’s University campus.

One of the most prestigious Canadian universities, Queen’s University was established in 1841, in a Royal Charter issued by Queen Victoria.

Its founders modelled the new college on the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and like them, Queen’s was given a governing structure built around a Board of Trustees, a Principal, and a Senate. In the university’s early years, all its faculty were Scottish-educated.
