Accommodation

At the Montreal Campus, students can explore a variety of housing options based on their preferences and budget. Since the campus is located in the heart of downtown Montreal, it is close to all services, including metro and bus service, stores, gyms, cinemas, pharmacies, hospitals, and supermarkets that are open 24 hours a day.

As a newcomer to Montreal, students have the option of staying with host families, student housing, or finding their own lodging. Staying with family is a popular choice among many students as it helps in getting complete immersion in the warm Canadian environment.

This allows students to live in a private property, a furnished room, access to a shared kitchen and bathroom.
