Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a great city to live in. Surrounded on three sides by the ocean and with a population of fewer than half a million, it is a fresh, friendly, and clean city. It is also very easy to get around, and most students tend to walk or bike to the law school. Halifax is also known for its lively nightlife, mostly due to the large number of students who study here.
