Université de Montréal

there's enough to choose from, however, there are not many undergraduate neuropsychology courses. Avoid taking neuropsychologie sensorielle, very narrow subject, not what I had hoped for... Course choices must be re-confirmed officially with a 'choix de cours' form, very important!

It's not enough to understand the material, because of the large amount of students, the teachers expect many details. some of them quite useless, all to increase the rivalry a bit. So: learn by heart! It's annoying, but don't worry, very few people fail a course here!

Well... It ge's cold, trust me -50°C is very cold, especially when standing in line in front of a nightclub, for 45 min. .........

It's a good university, though very old, as you will see inside the buildings. It's not as personal as my home university, because it doesn't have the tutorial groups of the problem based learning system. But all in all, good enough!

Food, is cheap, for Europeans using the euro, that is. Only certain things as good cheese and wine are expensive. Calling locally is very cheap, any payphone on the street can be used for 25 cents per conversation, long distance is more expensive, consequently. Housing is excellent, especially considering that you're living in a big city as Montreal. It's nothing compared to ludicrous prices in Holland! Nightlife is good, and cheap but they expect big tips, around 15% is 'appreciated'... Very hard for me, as a cheap Dutchman!!! :) Travel is exccellent, metro and busspasses in one: 31$CAD per month, if you have the required student card (9$CAD) Travel outside of Montreal is good as well, many busses to Québec city, Toronto, Ottawa, etc.

I shared an appartment with 4 other people and I think it was a great experience. And the people I knew who stayed in the Residences weren't so satisfied (small rooms, people don't interact too much ->too many people - 12 p/kitchen)

Good enough
