Likes
- The course was already great, but they have recently upgraded their courses to include aspects of sustainability.
- You will receive a good education in this college, and you will definitely have a great job in the future with a diploma from Université de Montréal.
- The university is very large in terms of campus area, departments, and people, and it is the 4th best university in Canada.
- The accommodation is a bit problematic as the student dorms are generally filled due to a large volume of students, but we can easily find accommodation nearby the university on a good budget.
- Most of the professors at UdeM/Mila and McGill are big names in ML and have Google Scholar citations for days, but I was really impressed with how much care they take to teach students and impart that knowledge as well.
- It has the worlds best civil law program given in the French language, and it also allows me to continue living at my familys home.

- 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. null
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. null
Well my overall experience so far is amazing. I learnt a lot and my Research areas are now more clear. I would say this experience not only tech me professionally but also helps me grow personally. People from various culture and experience share their life and it is always amazing to listen their stories.

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 .
I enjoyed it overall. It is highly fast paced compared to a 2-year program. It can push your limits but would be a rewarding experience.

- 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. null
- 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. null
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. null
- 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. null
My personal experience has been top notch. Being a student at UdeM is quite something once you open the course registration every semester and look at the subjects being offered for ML and the person whos is teaching it. The courses are hard and require work but the evaluation is fair and the teaching faculty are the same people who original wrote papers on the stuff that's being taught. Professors are approachable and listen to feedback, there are tons of networking opportunities and you are always surrounded by a cohort that helps you improve. Montreal as a city itself is perhaps my favorite city in North America and probably a students dream come true. Every semester students can also take up to two courses from another University too. Needless to say, I really think the experience is worth it.
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.
My choice of university was predominantly influenced the department research output and because I wanted to work with a particular supervisor in that department
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.
