“I do recomend to come to Montreal to study something because you can learn both languajes French and English here and you can choose the University depending on which languaje you want to make the course in. It is very easy here to find an apartment,and it is a very international city so you can meet people easily. The only problem is the weather, it is very cold. In general, it was very positive for me to come here.” Read Review

FINAL COMMENTS

I do recomend to come to Montreal to study something because you can learn both languajes French and English here and you can choose the University depending on which languaje you want to make the course in. It is very easy here to find an apartment,and it is a very international city so you can meet people easily. The only problem is the weather, it is very cold. In general, it was very positive for me to come here.
