Namtes Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 hey guys, for those that are already in med school at Ottawa, do you think its possible to live in Gatineau and commute to OttawaU? Does anyone in ur class do it? Do buses run frequently through this path or would I need a car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E92M3 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Gatineau to RGN by buses is about an hour...but you need to take 3 buses... Gatineau to Rideau Center --> To Hurdman --> To RGN So, if you want to stay in Gatineau, get a car. If not, live in Ottawa. 2 hours a day wasted in (waiting for) buses is a nightmare.

Jerry-mon Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 especially when it snows, or when buses are on strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale.of.a.time Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I would be very careful about this, I'm pretty sure they won't give you QC student loans if you go to a university outside Quebec. So living in Hull/Gatineau won't help, since you'll be going to UofO. I could be dead wrong (I hope I am!!!). But I would definitely call the Quebec student loans office first to verify! Let me know in case I decide to go to Ottawa, it'll be a life-saver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi21 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I am in Gatineau, so that is not changing for me.... I was thinking that there is a shutttle from main campus to RGN? Also depending on where you are in Gatineau, you may only need 1 bus to Rideau,...Hull is the best option.... I live in Gatineau, and I was not planning on driving....seems that it might change...

Prothrombin Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Go find a place in Orleans. Take the 95 to St. Laurent and transfer to the General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
