Final comments

If you go to NYC take the bus that leaves before midnight. It's cheap and it saves you one night. Quebec city is worth a visit, and so is the GaspÃ©sie. Take your time to discover MontrÃ©al.

I wish I had known...

Don't be so confident about your french skills, quebecois is hard at the beginning, academic life is fun but it isn't that easy.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

You have to be aware that you are one more student, being an exchange student isn't a plus.

Plannes mos travels with friends, there's a good student asociation for exchange students with many activities, but travels are usually less expensive when you go by your own.

Personal recommendation

It doesn't have a HUGE name yet, but it's on its way up. Last year, the HEC Montreal Team won third place at the National University of Singapore Case Competition against 640 teams from 117 schools. The list of competitors is a who's who of the world's top business schools. The final round had IESE, Kellog, IIT, Rice, Rotterdam, and Jain, and we won third place!

Final comments

It's a one year program, so it takes a motivated individual to get things done and done quickly, but if you don't fancy digging a big financial hole for yourself just so you can go to business school, then HEC Montreal may be the best Judo move of your career.
