Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? Because of lack of kitchen facilities

Personal comments:
Living in the dorms is a nice way of meeting people from many parts of the world, including the local population. The only disadvantage is the lack of kitchen facilities.

Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community

Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment

Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment

Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Personal comments:
Cafe campus 24 open cafe at Cote de neiges. Carneval de Quebec!

Course recommendations:
Was only allowed to choose two graduate courses out of ten. The others were under grad -- which was not enough challenging although good learning experiences.

Personal comments:
The exams are two short and are basically a mesure of how fast you write and how well you memorize. I suggest more time for exams and questions that require more creative thinking. The projects throughout the course were very time demanding, which teaches the student to work well under a lot of pressure -- however the projects were in many cases not technically advanced.
