Personal recommendation
take only 4 courses if possible since they are very time-consuming!
for the rest, don't let yourself drag down by the workload but enjoy your stay by discovering beautiful Montréal and travelling the whole continent!

it was the best time of my life
try to travel a lot with MISN. Trips are not so expensive.
Don't live in a res. Try to find ur own appartement in the Ghetto or on the Plateau/Mt. Royal. It's a very cool area!!
Oh and don't underestimate the winter. It gets REALLY REALLY cold there!
