HEC Montreal

HEC can arrange it for you but I had a bad experience - I only saw 2 flats neither of which I would have chosen had I been looking myself. On the other hand, it is much easier this way.

I think I had a lot of luck because my apartment was nearly perfect, all my expectations have been exceeded. a huge room with a huge bed, a desk with chair, another relaxing chair and a walk-in cupboard. I had to share the kitchen, living room and bathroom with another person. we had everything in our apartment excepting a washing machine (was in the basement, I had to pay extra for using them). The apartment was in the sixth floor, about 10 minutes from the university. the locality was also ok (near, bus station, supermarkets, restaurants etc.)

There were no housing facilities offered by the university for the international students

It wasn't very big just 60-65 sqared metres and I stayed there with another gay; We had two separate rooms for ourself and a huge sitting room ; The accomodatione was in close proximity of the university and we paid just 150 euro for each;

As I said the University did not have any accomodation, but they do have an association that helps exchange students to find an accomodation near the university or next to the centrum.

There is only one person in charge and she is simply swamped with all the work. Furthermore we had to pay 5 rental fees for 4 months + our rental fee was far over market price. However the flat was ok and it saved me a lot of time and worries.
