“Université Laval”

OverallEn général, j'aime bien mon temps à l'université. J'ai de bons enseignants, mais il manque souvent un côté plus pratique à la matière. L'université focus beaucoup sur la théorie et moins sur la pratique.

Personal comments
I was overwhelmed with the many places offered to partake in Québec City's vibrant nightlife. Having been there during the Festival d'été, there were many open air concerts and performances to choose from. Popular nightspots include Chez Dagobert, which has an amazing dancefloor (but a less than desirable atmosphere), the trendy Chez Maurice across the street. Also nearby is Liquid, a club with three different rooms providing for a lot of variety. All of these are located on the Grande Allée Est, along with popular restaurants and North American fast food joints. Most of the clubs have a small, if not no cover charge! Rue St. Jean is also a great street: be sure to go to the Kashmir night club, the Casse-Crepe Breton Creperie, and Pub St-Alexandre - they are all must visits and well worth your time and money. For those days when you don't want to go downtown, the university pub, "Le Pub", is a hotspot on Thursday nights.

“Une année super enrichissante”

Overall
Je suis partie dans le cadre d'un double diplôme et ai passé un an à l'Université Laval. A cause de mon université française j'ai dû valider en an la totalité des cours du MBA (ce qui se fait normalement plutôt sur 2 / 3ans) et sans mentir ça a été une année très difficile en terme de boulot. J'ai eu au final très peu de temps pour visiter le Canada et socialisé là bas.
Pour autant je ne regrette rien et j'ai vraiment aimé cette année à Québec. On a été extrêmement bien accueille par l'Université Laval et j'ai l'impression d'avoir autant appris en un an là bas qu'en 4ans en France.

Pros
La qualité de l'environnement Universitaire (cours, horaires, le campus, un complexe sportif incroyable à un prix dérisoire etc.), la qualité des professeurs et intervenants, un site personnel (mon portail) incroyable et vie étudiante très active
Cons
L'accès au Campus parfois, pas mal de projet de groupe et parfois à distance alors mieux vaut bien choisir ses teammates, beauuucoup de lecture et une majorité en anglais même si c'est pour un cours en français donc mieux vaut avoir déjà un certain niveau

Academic
Course recommendations
I was at Université Laval for the French for non-Francophones program during the summer session. This program operates on 9 levels from Beginner to Advanced, and also Superior for almost fluent speakers of French. From Beginner to Intermediate, only three mandatory courses are offered - a comprehensive grammar and oral course, a phonetics course, and a class devoted solely to oral expression. At the advanced and superior levels, a variety of courses are offered in Québec literature, culture, and more. Make sure early on that the level you are in (determined by a placement test) is right for you; it will make your experience all the more enjoyable!

I was lucky to have an excellent professor - Madame Moussalli - who always managed to make classes very animated! The workload was not very difficult for me but increases in accordance with the level of skill.

Personal spending habits
There is a large supermarket (Metro) across the street from the Lacerte residence. Although you can usually find some good deals, I found that fresh fruits and vegetables were a great deal more expensive here than in grocery stores in Ontario. Nightlife can get expensive, but fortunately many clubs didn't have a cover charge.
