HEC Montreal

Whatever you do, don't pack lightly! The winter is freezing, and can get down to -40, but this has little or not effect on socialising and going out, so don't worry. Plus, taxis in Montreal are very inexpensive.

There were no housing facilities offered by the university for the international students

well i can just say that this experience in montréal was on of the best periods of my life...the exchange with other students from all over the world, travelling (not just canada, but journeys to new york, mexico...), broadening my horizon, personal independence

Go to NYC, Boston, Vancouver if you can. You will not learn much by spending long hours on and around the campus after classes. Visit and look constantly for new spots. for Speak english.

The local language as the language of instruction at the HEC in Montreal was french. As I went to France twice as an Au-pair girl before the international study exchange, my french was already pretty good. Fortunately, I had no problems because of the language barrier at the beginning like other non french native speakers exchange students had, that I could had the chance to profit more of social and academic life (while the others were still studying grammar, etc).
