Personal spending habits
When your on an exchange you want to discover the city, and the nice places by which it is surrounded. I visited for example New York, Quebec City and Toronto. At the end of March I'll probably also visit Ottowa and Toronto. And for the higher nightlife expenses. Montreal really has a lot to offer.

Personal comments
For some people who want to learn English, Montreal doesn't seem a good choice, because of the French. It's true that a lot of poeple speak French, especially in the city, but on Campus, most people only speak English. But you can easily avoid speaking French. It depends with who you hang out.

When using case-based teaching, professors/teachers heavily influence the quality of the course. Therefore general suggestions are difficult to make
