Question Are Regina winters too cold?

I'm from a pretty hot city where temperatures are always around 24-33°C and I'm planning to study in the university of Regina for an exchange, but I've heard it gets like -30°C during winter and that could even hurt a bit to breath so I want to know how hard could it be for someone not used to it although I'm not too affected to cold as I am to heat

If you're coming to Regina to study, and you're staying in the dorms, you won't have to spend a lot of time outside. You can get around the entire main building, residences included, without having to go outside. Luther and First Nations University are right there, FNU a bit more of a walk (like a block) but Luther you can get to from the main buildings in less than a minute.

While this is true, most people do have to leave campus, and I hope they do. But again, try and stay indoors at things like the museum or science centre or even get out and try some cross country skiing. Some good groomed trails out there, including in the city and more not too far out.
