Montreal City Guide
Montreal is possibly the sexiest city in Canada with exuberant
nightlife, top-notch cultural events like the Montreal Jazz Festival
and a dazzling fashion scene. The city is situated on an island
between St. Lawrence and Ottawa river with volcanic 'Mount Royal'
as major landmark and Blvd St Laurent as lifeline.
Downtown is a collection of playful skyscrapers, Montreal's
best museums (Musée d'Art Contemporain, Musée des
Beaux Arts) and excellent Mc Gill university. 'Quartier Latin'
houses Université du Québec à Montréal
(UQAM).
Two isles built for Expo 1967 serve as recreational areas with sports
facilities, Montreal's casino and architectural highlight
Biosphère, an ecology theme park. 'Parc Olympique'
and its stadium are spectacular, too.
About 66% of the population speak French as first language, a considerable
part English and the number of people with even another first language
is growing constantly. Montreal profits a lot from this diversity
and is a safe, tolerant town.
Winters are fierce. To avoid snowbite a considerable part of the
city features an elaborate tunnel system full of shops: 'Underground
City'.
Study at Montreal University
Generally, Canada's educational system is excellent. Mc Gill ranks
among the very first universities in Canada with a choice selection
of academic subjects. Montreal's UQAM offers an attractive selection
of courses as well.
Both universities boast an impressive location. Mc Gill is an integral
part of Montreal's old town, UQAM is situation in the midst of hip
and urban Plateau Mount Royal.
