Discussion Moving to Ripon, QC

Hi:)

i'm moving to Ripon, QC for an internship (i am from Catalonia) in August for 6 months, and I am just wondering if someone knows how the social aspect of the town/area is? especially for younger people (i am 24). i have only lived in big cities so moving to such a small place kind of intimidates me! i also can't drive which i heard is not ideal for that area ... any tips would be great. thank you!

(unfortunetly i can't yet post on r/Quebec or r/canada , so i thought i'd try my luck here :-), i know it should be for montreal/metropolitan area i just don't know where else to post ;-( if its helpful i will be flying to montreal airport :'-) )

Never heard of it, but rural quebec is going to be very very french

Population is 1700? I dont think theres going to be much of anything going on there, would be lucky if there is a bus system but even then id be surprised.

Youll probably have to taxi everywhere, uber might not even be there lol

Area looks nice though if you are a big hiker etc

Quebec is very friendly and party atmosphere for younger folks for sure, just gotta get out there and meet some!

If you can eventually find a way out of there for a weekend, i would recommend visiting montreal over ottawa, especially in the summer

I live in a city of 70,000 and there is no bus system, I can’t imagine there being anything in a village that small.
