For me, the Université de Montréal was a crucial step in my university career. After 2 and a half years as an international student in Bachelor of Communication Sciences, I am now in exchange in Spain, and I can now compare and give my opinion. UdeM is very large, very large and valued for its programs in Sciences in majority. For my part, I found my courses too theoretical, I see a lack of “practical” courses, a lack of simulation, a lack of field experience to put into practice our theoretical knowledge and a lack of interaction between teachers and students. On the other hand, in my case, the teaching was very appreciated, although I noticed that the younger teachers are the most dynamic and the most interesting. As an international student, I did not find the integration program very “integrator” unfortunately … On the other hand, the university environment is alive (bars, restaurants) as well as very nice activities are organized by the university (spring break, concerts), not to mention the city itself that makes all the beauty of the experience.
