HEC Montreal

GO GO GO

I had the best time of my life in a very intenational atmosphere!

I had the time of my life and was very sad to leave. Travel is very easy around Canada and the US. You will meet tons of new people from all over the world, and get to experience some cool things. The winters are freezing -40 with wind chill, so be prepared to spend some money on snow boots and a proper ski jacket. But buy out there, it is cheaper.

Travelling in and around Montreal is great. Trips to Toronto, Niagara Falls, Quebec City, NYC and Boston.

I think I had a lot of luck because my apartment was nearly perfect, all my expectations have been exceeded. a huge room with a huge bed, a desk with chair, another relaxing chair and a walk-in cupboard. I had to share the kitchen, living room and bathroom with another person. we had everything in our apartment excepting a washing machine (was in the basement, I had to pay extra for using them). The apartment was in the sixth floor, about 10 minutes from the university. the locality was also ok (near, bus station, supermarkets, restaurants etc.)

HEC can arrange it for you but I had a bad experience - I only saw 2 flats neither of which I would have chosen had I been looking myself. On the other hand, it is much easier this way.
