Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because the rents of apartments in Montreal are little dear(expensive) with regard to France. Many student friend was in apartment, apartments are big, numerous and very well placed.
Personal comments:
The chamber in the place of residence of Uqam, was very small, less than 15 metres square nevertheless it was very nice because she allowed me to meet studying foreigners from the first evening but it is true that when we begin in connaitre Montreal, we préfererait to live in city.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French How much did you improve your French?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
As people from Quebec ar speaking French with a different accent than people from Europe, it took me some time to adapt to their way of speaking. However, professors and teacher at the university are speakingan excellent French. SOme are speaking with a little accent, but not really that strong that you can't understand them.
