Consistently highly-ranked, Queen's is one of Canada's leading universities, with an international reputation for scholarship, research, social purpose, and spirit. Queen's University is located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, a quintessential university community big enough to provide all the conveniences of modern life, but small enough for students, staff and faculty to feel instantly comfortable and at home. Close to the 1000 Islands, Kingston offers a multitude of recreational opportunities. Kingston is Canada's 3rd best "place to live" in Canada according to a 2009 Canadian Business publication survey.
