- The main thing that I noticed is Concordia’s MACS program use highly reputed if not all programs. In addition, it’s as cheap as a college, even cheaper than some colleges on Ontario. Montreal is a student city, it’s always lively and fun.
The rent used to be cheap in Montreal but now it is not the case. If you are looking to share a room, you will have to pay around 500 in downtown. The suburbs have cheaper rooms though.

- 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.

- Concordia is home to students from around the world, like Europeans, Asians, South Americans, etc. There are many organizations in Concordia that help students in many different ways, such as different student organizations and schemes for helping students financially.
Dislikes
- As pros and cons go hand in hand. Where international community takes part in diversity, also sometimes international students create environment where there is no chance of growth.
- Out of all international students, the majority are from India. There are some moments in university, when the only thing you are thinking about is your grades.
- Hard work is good but if you are cheating in the exams just for grades that I feel is partiality with the students who actually worked hard for the grades.
My overall experience at the university was amazing, connected with people from around the world. I also got a chance for personal growth. Although I didn't have confidence issues when I came here, being in university helped me boost my confidence to another level.

- The course structure is well-built, grading is on-point. There is a wide range of courses available from which one can choose what to pursue.

Dislikes
- Like most universities in Canada, Concordia University has high tuition fees, which can be a barrier for some students, especially if you are an international student.
- Some courses are quite crowded with up to 200 students per class, making it challenging to get personalised attention from professors. Some students may find it challenging to adjust to the French-speaking environment, especially when looking for part time jobs in or around the campus.
Overall, I was amazed to come to a new country and get admitted to a prestigious university. I am having a great experience in and around the campus. There are several help groups available for all kinds of emergency situation. I would recommend students to try and get admission at Concordia University based on my experience with quality of education here, the campus culture, extracurricular activities, social life, and several other factors.
