¿Fue aprender Inglés fue un factor importante de elección?
No, no lo fue.
Comentario personal
I dont speak french and for some particular reason, I was surprised to find out that not everyone speaks english in Montreal. The further north you get, the less people you are likely to find who speak good english. Overall though, I didnt have any problems with communicating..

You have to get a health insurance when going to Montreal and a double visa, one for Canada and one especially for Quebec. This will set you back a few hundred dollars. Hmm.. other than that, there werent that many financial surprises except for the trip to Miami. Be sure to do some travel whilst in Canada but remember that the US is much more expensive and you dont want to dig too deep of a hole in your wallet before university hasnt even started...

Si lo hubiera sabido...
I didnt really have any difficulties whilst being in Canada but be sure to sort everything out with visa and registration before getting there. Also, arrive early to find a decent place to live because if you arrive too late - you might end up living in a dump!

Its a great university with good lecturers and an interesting selection of modules. The campus is stunning and its close to everything. There is a brilliant international student society which organises trips to ottawa, new york etc. Be sure to sign up!

Organise pre-departure stuff early! Arrive early to get good accommodation. Be sure to do some travel. I went to Ottawa, in and about Montreal and also went by Greyhound bus all the way down to Miami! If you buy a greyhound ticket two weeks before departure it is substantially cheaper. A trip to either N.Y or Florida should be on everyones agenda whilst staying in Canada. Wish I had gone to Victoria and the Canadian West coast as well but when the semester starts you will be really busy with courses and there wont be much time to take a week off.. Prepare to study a LOT because the courses are quite demanding in terms of course work, and lectures.

Estudios
Recomendaciones de cursos
Be sure to 'shop around' in the beginning. There are great number of courses and you want to make sure you choose the best ones. All modules dont offer seminars paralell to lectures so be sure to find out which because seminars will help you considerably in your studies.

Comentario personal
Most modules have midterm exams which is a bit of a hassle if you also have a lot of essays to submit. But then again, the exams are really easy - reminded me of the type of exams I had in Upper Secondary School.. The essays however will require a fair share of time - especially if you are pursuing those A's!

The cafes on st denis are great! There are so many places to visit but be sure to check out old Montreal in the summer time - it is brilliant!

Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: Piso o apartamento
Organizado por: Independientemente - no había otra opción
Si volviera, eligiría: Piso o apartamento
¿Por qué?
I stayed with four 'locals' which was great in the sense that you get totally immersed into the culture and everyday life. There is a huge accommodation shortage in Montreal but if you are there in good time before Uni starts, your chances of getting a good place is pretty good.
