Accommodation facility is good in Montreal. Rents are bit high in Downtown Montréal if compared to living far away. But, It would be okay if your share the apartments with 2-3 people. Monthly rent is around $1500 CAD for 3 1/2 apartments in Downtown Montréal and this is for unfurnished apartments.

- Concordia University has diversity as well as the program offers curriculum that will be useful in the clearing interviews for the top level organizations. The campus itself is mesmerizing with a library equipped with all the utilities, from study rooms to desktops to group discussion tables, the library has it all.
This is really a personal decision which depends upon various factors like your part time income, lifestyle, adjusting behavior. I am staying in a shared room since the beginning. On an average per month cost could vary up to 900-1000 CAD if you follow a decent lifestyle, else the cost goes up.
