Hi Jérôme!

You’re arriving in MTL at a great time and in my personal favorite season!🍂 There are plenty of events and little festivals going on in the city al throughout fall! I found this website here that gives you a pretty good list of some fun events going on, I hope this helps! 🙂

Hey Cam, it’s nice to meet you virtually, I’m Zack I’m 26 and I studied Economics at ConU back in 2018!

You definitely chose the right city if you wanted to experience Uni life downtown. Funny enough my favorite appetizer to eat is fried calamari as well and you’re in luck because there are ton of restaurants that serve some real tasty portions in the city not too far from ConU!

What program are you in at uni? There may be some more students on here taking the same classes as you!

Hi there! Welcome to Montreal Karthik! I totally agree with what Francois said about your learning progress for french, just keep at it, most french montrealers will appreciate you simply trying your best and might even give you some tips! I encourage you to try and communicate as best you can during your every day life (ie. at cafes, restaurants, the grocery store…) you’ll feel more comfortable doing it on a daily basis if you just keep at it!

As for integrating yourself, doing campus activities and joining clubs is definitely a good option, but you can also go beyond the school grounds and try finding people with similar hobbies as you do in Montreal! Depending on what your hobbies are there are plenty of workshops and activities all around the city you could join (pottery classes, martial arts classes, trivia nights at certain pubs, gamer cafes, and so much more!) I suggest you go online and look for these things as well!

I hope I was able to help and don’t hesitate to ask more questions if you have any! 🙂
