As a native Saskatonian I say yes, it's a fairly large center with a booming industry and a lot of job openings and housing as well as having an artsy side there are always plays or bands to go see, plenty of art galleries, we even have a zoo! Housing is very reasonable, we have one of the lowest costs of living in the country and it is FAR cheaper to insure a vehicle here than anywhere else I've seen in Canada. Hope you come and enjoy it!

I've been to Saskatoon several times. I really like the place and if I had a really good reason to live there I just might go. There's about 200,000 people living there. (So there's plenty of liquor stores!) It's situated on a river with a great park system throughout the river valley linking the university and downtown. The university is gorgeous! The town is a bit spread out, but if you find accomodations near U of S most of your trips could be by foot or bus. If you have pals across town though, a car would be helpful. I don't know about costs such as phone, but a friend owns a rental house there in a trendy part of town and she charges $800/month for rent. The summers are warm and dry and winters are cool and dry. There's a great music scene there - small but great. Live theatre, movie theatres, clubs, pubs, and a few great restaurants and a bunch of ok ones. The people are very warm and friendly, and very helpful. You'll have no problem making friends. Granted it's no TO, but overall for a prairie town it's very good.

Very fine indeed. It won some sort of award for "livability" a few years ago.
