- My supervising professor Prof. Eugene Syriani and the project on which I was working are the main reason for choosing this University. The topic inclines with my area of interest and hence I choose this univeristy.
- University Of Montreal is one of the most premier institutes in Canada for ML Research. The diversity of the college is the most attractive part, people from around the world sharing the experience both professional and personal helps me grow myself. My Research Group deals with Model Driven Engineering and it is the best research group in country in this domain.
Dislikes
- The only problem is that this is a French University so it's a bit hard for anglophones to manage but its still easily manageable. Most of the things can be converted using Google Translate and most of Graduate Courses are either bilingual or have an English version.
Campus Life
The university is very large in terms of Campus Area, Departments and People and it is 4th best university in Canada. We have all the facilities like, WiFi, Sports Complex, Data Center and Compute Clusters and access to Student Dorms. It has multiple societies and clubs that organise multiple events constantly.
Accommodation
The accommodation is a bit problematic as the Student Dorm's are generally filled due to large volume of students but we can easily find accommodation nearby University in good budget.

Dislikes
- Since its in Montreal, French becomes a problem post MBA. In the MBA, it wont be a big problem, however, becomes a challenge once you start finding jobs. Usually people who don't want to learn french move to Toronto
Campus Life
Good not great. I wish there were more events. Other facilities were fine.
Accommodation
Private room.

- Many of the biggest names in ML teach or supervise courses here. I even had a representation learning (Deep Learning) class taught by none other than professor Aaron Courville (one of the three authors of the Deep Learning book, which is THE book.)
- The ML and DL courses in particular imo are some of the best, taught by some of the best professors (top researchers affiliated with MIla, Quebec, are usually professors in UdeM or McGill) in the field.
- As an IUT student at McGill as well, I would whole heartedly say UdeM has better ML/DL courses than most of the top 20 Universities in the world. UdeM also ranks top 50 in QS specifically for CS overall as well, but the ML courses are really really good.
Dislikes
- There is a language issue for a lot of the subjects because it is a French University after all, however anyone pursuing a graduate course under DIRO (CS dept) can take take the English version of the classes.
- Most (I think all) ML professors affiliated with Mila (Yosua Bengio's ML research lab) teach in English. Mila = English but specifically for undergraduate classes I believe there are no English options.
Campus Life
10/10 , has everything , most universities in Montreal do. UdeM and McGill being the two premiere universities in Montreal have very good campuses and extra curriculars.
Accommodation
I live in a 4 bedroom apartment with 2 other roommates right opposite the university and we pay 590 CAD$ per person. There are University dorms as well but I am not aware of the pricing structure.
Accommodation
The university provides housing. It's a studio apartment, with great infrastructure. The rent is approximately 585 euros per month. Out of which, the government pays back 200 as student benefit.
It was ranked #1 for my course. The structure of the course is very flexible and the strategic management subject is ranked highest in Europe. It was a short path to entering the business world because MBA requires work ex, and MiM doesn't.
Accommodation
No on campus accommodation is provided for graduate students. There are housing spaces for short term basis for graduate students called Zuma but are mostly occupied by undergrads.
My choice of university was predominantly influenced the department research output and because I wanted to work with a particular supervisor in that department
Accommodation
You can take a single room which is readily available and there is a very good transport facility all around Montreal.
HEC is a big name in the country also this course is ranked 7th in the world and the ample number of opportunities in supply chain in Canada makes it a worthy choice.
Because it's good in my program. I also wanted to move out of my hometown, and Montreal is the second biggest city in Canada. Furthermore, it is way less expensive than any other anglophone city to study.
It has the world's best civil law program given in the French language, and it also allows me to continue living at my family's home. The resources that the school has and give for free most of the time, are numerous.
HEC Montreal's excellence in management teaching and research is recognized worldwide. As proof, the School was the first in North America to be awarded the three most prestigious international accreditations in its field: AACSB International, EQUIS and AMBA.
