always consider if it is really worth to buy the metro passport each month. when exams are coming up, you won't have much time to go to town, so it doesn't really pay off to buy one then.

if you go to montreal for the trimestre d'hiver, book your flight at least 2 months in advance as you will have a lot of trouble finding one before christmas

Overall
HEC Montréal est une école de gestion offrant la possibilité de se spécialiser dès le baccalauréat (bachelor) dans un domaine afin d'obtenir une expertise poussée dans la matière. Les professeurs sont à l'écoute des élèves et sont très soucieux de leur bien être. L'école offre la possibilité de suivre un cursus en unilingue (français), bilingue (anglais/français) ou trilingue (anglais/français/espagnol) avec un choix de cours par langue très diversifiés. Les étudiants viennent du monde entier et HEC met en avant l'importance d'une expérience à dimension internationale dans le cursus scolaire en possédant un catalogue d'universités partenaires très rempli!
La qualité de l'enseignement fait la réputation de l'école mais également la diversité des activités étudiantes sur le campus: associations étudiantes, compétitions universitaires, conférences, divers ateliers... Tout est fait pour enrichir la vie des étudiants et leur offrir une expérience universitaire mémorable.

Don't be so confident about your french skills, quebecois is hard at the beginning, academic life is fun but it isn't that easy.

You have to be aware that you are one more student, being an exchange student isn't a plus.

Even if you don't mind the cold, the city is kind of depressing in winter. If you have the choice, try to be there in summer or at least in the fall instead of the dead of winter!

Choose your classes carefully (especially with regard to the work load) and try to travel and also explore Montréal as much as possible! The 5 months went by so fast that I now regret not doing more.

Other exchange students are a great social network, if you don't want to be left out, register on facebook and be available on msn (I refused the latter, I only had Skype. I did ok, but really, everyone has msn, so if you want to stay in touch, you may not have a choice).
