- I chose Concordia University because of its good course, city and culture. Plus Quebec is a bit more affordable than any other provinces.
Student accommodation can cost upto 1000 CAD per month but if you share and find apt. nearby the whole expense can come upto 1500 CAD .

- I chose Concordia because it is one of the best universities in Canada. Moreover, it is in the heart of Montreal downtown, which was a major reason why I chose Concordia. Also when compared to other alternatives, it is a bit cheaper as well.
I live by myself in a studio apartment just steps away from the university. I pay $1000 including everything (Heat, hot water, electricity, WiFi). My apartment is small but sufficient for a single person, and I have every appliance including a dishwasher and a washer dryer in my unit. The apartment came furnished, and there are street parking options available.

- Reputed computer science program and very affordable university fees.
Onsite rooms, I guess were only available for undergrad. So I never opted for any on-campus housing. But near the university the housing was cheap and affordable with all options being available. Landlords were adjusting as they opened their homes to internal students

- 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.

Dislikes
- The labs are sometimes scheduled at late hours. The university is located in Montreal, sometimes there is communication barrier due to French, off-campus.
- The co-op program doesn't reward credits for internship for computer science students.
Great opportunity to have practical knowledge completely aligned with the industry standards.

- The courses being offered in the program I chose was something I thought I would like to learn and make progress with. It's going well for me, touchwood.
- 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.
- On top of that, one is able to change the program in the middle if they are not able to continue what they chose in the first place.
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.
