Université de Montréal

Université de Montréal, Montréal, Québec, Canada

This is the second University I've studied in, the first one being Laval University, in Québec. I am therefore able to do some comparison. Montreal University has strenghts in multidisciplinary programs, such as mine (International studies), and also in Economics, Law and Marketing, with the faculty of High Commercial Studies. 

However, on the plan of student life, it isn't the best. The FAECUM, the associayion of all the students on campus, is mostly implicated into political matters in the province and even the country, as we have seen in the student strike last winter. It works very closely with the FEUQ, the association of all university student around the province. However, when it comes to giving services to the students, there is no cooperative librairie for the whole campus, no bar, no place to have those huge parties we had in Laval. They are supposed to be building a student center in a few years, but by then, I won't be there anymore...
