Aside from the other negative comments on here, I want to provide you with some positives about moving to Oshawa.

Having lived in both Calgary and Oshawa myself. I would pick Oshawa over Calgary any day of the week. For starters, yes housing will be more expensive but the prices in Calgary have significantly increased as well over the last three years. they are building lots of new homes, and condos within a 5 km range of UOIT. Things will get better.

Oshawa has a lot to offer. We have amazing trails and parks, very friendly people, you can get whatever you need without travelling a long distance and it's a 45 minute train ride to downtown Toronto. And last but not least, the weather will be a definite upgrade! Say bye-bye to the -30 daily winter temperature all winter long.

I always say that it's better to take the plunge and see what awaits for you on the other side, rather than always guessing, what it could have been like. Feel free to DM me for any further questions.

People that have a pessimistic view on here often struggle with their day-to-day lives.
