Personal comments
I wish I could remember the names of the places...Québec is filled with night clubs and the bast part was that they do not have cover charges so you can go to 3 or 4 or however many you want in a night...

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The campus is quite far from the city and the facilities are bad. Particularly there are little to no possibility to cook. Besides, accomodation in Québec is fairly cheap anyway so living on campus didn't save me any money.

Personal comments
My main problem was language. It is difficult to do the essays and projects ina language that you do not command. Maybe a mandatory French course would have helped.
