HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It is pretty exceptional that people live on campus. Only Frechman do. It is also more fun to live in an own appartement, with other students
Personal comments:
It is very hard to find a good place to stay if you arrive to late in Monteal. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
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:
The '737' is a club on the 45th floor of a building. There are 2 kinds of music (on diffrenet floors).: house and R&B. even if you don't like this kind of music, you have to go for the view. Absolutely great! Also, there is the Mc Kibbens pub on Bishops Street. It's kind of an Irish pub and on Wednesday, girls drink for free between 10pm and 1 am.

My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
I just don't like group projects but I guess it can be useful This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang) My level after: Personal comments:
For some people who want to learn English, Montreal doesn't seem a good choice, because of the French. It's true that a lot of poeple speak French, especially in the city, but on Campus, most people only speak English. But you can easily avoid speaking French. It depends with who you hang out.
