Personal comments
When I started taking courses in Concordia University I had already been living in Montreal for three years. Montreal being a bilingual city (French/English), I was already familiarized to English. My studies in Concordia helped me to perfect my English and to meet even more Englih speaking people from Canada and all over the world.

Personal comments
I went to Concordia University to take my specialization courses in International Relations. I wanted to perfect my English skills and to discover an English speaking teaching environment. I had a great experience there. The professors in the area I studied are very competent and there are a lot of International students who study there so it is a great place to meet people from different cultures.
