I was born in Calgary and lived there until moving here in March.
There is the misconception it is a "cowtown". The only times you see people in cowboy hats will be during the 10 days of Stampede, if you're out of the city and actually on a farm or something, or when there are tourists around.
The amount of sunlight we get is amazing, and in the summer when the sun sets close to 10pm, it is still light outside 30 minutes later (not like here...sun sets and it's dark in 5 minutes!)
Sometimes when it snows, it melts the very next day, and sometimes it doesn't but the sun is out and it's warm.
It is what you want to make of it, like any city. If you think it will be a boring place to live, then it will be. You're going for school, learning new things, making new friends, experiencing a new place...there will be lots to see and do.
