Hi,
Are you going to TRU( Thompson River University)?^_^
Temperature wise, Kamloops climat is considered semi-desert( hot & dry but not humid), summer temp usually is around low 30s but can be as high as 40 degrees; winter is usually in the minus with several inches of snow.
Town is small but have a friendly feel, most residents are working middle class. If you are looking to try some winter sports(summer sports too), you go to the right place; however, if urban lifestyle is your thing thats the wrong place to be.
p.s. Are you ESL? If you are interested in getting a univ dipolma, you may consider applying UBC Okanagan after you finish your courses in Kamloops. UBC Okanagan is a lot easier to get into than UBC main campus in Vancouver.
p.s.s. We drove pass Kamloops 3 or 4 years ago, and found J.Lo, Morgan Freeman and Robert Redford shooting a movie there. (an unfinished life)
Excuse me for writing in English, can`t type Chinese characters.
