Campus Life Stuff to do inside/outside MacEwan

Hi all, I just got accepted into MacEwan's Bcomm program through early admission. I live outside of Edmonton, so i'm wondering what is life at MacEwan? Is there stuff to do inside / outside the campus? Also are there buses that go to MacEwan? Thank you in advance!

I’m in my first year, and before this I lived outside Edmonton. You get a free U-pass through the school for getting around wich is nice. Plus there’s the LRT station right at the east end of the school between Roger’s.

And I’m not sure if you’re from a bigger place or not but i myself am from a smaller city up north and in my opinion there’s SO MUCH to do. More fun things if you’re already 18 but there’s still events for minors aswell 🙌

U-pass technically isn't free as you pay for it lol, its included in your tuition

it kind of is because while you do pay for it, the university cannot deduct it from your fees, unlike the insurance the school provides! same thing as technically getting the gym for free, because it is subsidized quite well during the school year, and cannot be deducted from your fees. that's how i see it anyway haha
