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.

The accomodation is compared to European Standards just perfect. Very clean and the rooms are very large. The residence is located in the center and is in walking distance to the underground station.
