Some teachers lacked teaching experience and this was at times visible. More experienced teachers should be attracted if possible.

Personal recommendation
HEC Montreal'S English MBA program started only in 2000-2001 and has a long way to go but with in a short span of 3-4 years it has made its mark. It is categorized amongst the top 100 business schools in North America and amongst top 10 non US MBA universities. The university is ideally built and located, and is fully equiped with internet, library and other resources. If one wants to have his/her money's worth and also to spend one best year of studies, i will recommend HEC Montreal to her/him

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It was a very nice experience to live some distance away from the university. Because after all the day's hard work one had to pass through shopping centres and plazas which had a soothing and relaxing effect. This was specially important during winters when everything is covered with snow, staying at a some distance from the university can also avoid boredom.
