I would say that life in Montreal is a bit cheaper than in most european countries. Going out is less expensive and you will surely spare money with the appartement.

You will fastely see that Concordia likes your money. You'll have to pay for everything you ask them. It is because Canadian Universities lack money since the governement is decreasing its grants. Bank services are also a bit more expensive than in Europe.

If you're a french speaking student who wants to really improve his english forget it. There are far too many french people and you cannot really do without them, more, nearly all the students in Concordia speak also french. However the courses will permit you to practice english.

Les syllabus des cours sont sur mesure, les professeurs beaucoup plus accomodant des diverses difficultés des étudiants. Les stages sont encouragés dans ce qu'il y a un volet CO-OP pour cela.

Careers
Oui! On peut choisir le volet co-op qui combine stage et apprentissage, sinon le cheminement oridinaire. Il est de la responsabilité de tout un chacun de se trouver du stage, mais l'école fournit tout accompagnement utile requis.

Personal comments
Being a native Canadian, I speak fluent English and French. After attending the University, I was able to further enhance my English language and communication skills given the high quality education I was provided and the various communicative methods, i.e. essays and presentations, that I practised throughout my degree.
