Personal comments
Great nightspots include Cafe Campus on Tuesdays and Balroom on Thursdays. You'll find this is the place that HEC Students go to on these nights.
A great brunch spot is L'avenue - going there is a must!

Course recommendations
they were a lot easier than the courses in the uk, but not as interesting. A lot also depends on how strong the teachers' quebecois accents are!
