Not that much, campus is really quiet. Even if you have to take the metro, I'd recommend living in the city. You'll be close to any activity.

Evrything is on King Street

Management Consulting, amazing teacher. Strategic market communications also amazing teacher.

Great building, not that special, easy registration, easy tools

Montréal is close and easy to go. Use "Poparide", local blablacar, can be cheaper than the train and as fast. Travelled a lot around the US, including NYC, LA, Washington. Banff is also amazing

Cool cost of living due to the exchange rate EUR to CAD. Gets cold around mid November.

In the campus

Once you have done your inscription, they propose to you the accomodity of the university

No, I wouldn't recommend my residence because the price is high for a weak accommodation. However, in other residences of the campus it's much more better.

Go downtown for clubs. On Instagram account search some FRATS

I'm not recommending: Project Management + Management Accounting - too much of work

The campus is big and good. We are 45min/1h from downtown. The registration wasn't easy for me, because I did it in last minute (so my fault). I think I wouldn't pick the same uni again.

Niagara falls ; Montreal ; Banff ; US closely as like as Bahamas,...

Be included in life on the campus, go see some games: football, soccer, hockey,...

When I saw the apartment, I loved it instantly, it seemed cosy and cute. It had three windows so I thought it would be clear, and it said it was a quiet neighborhood. Everything turned true, I really loved the apartment, though it does not have a vacuum cleaner and that could have been convenient. Apart from that, it is very well located (subway station at a 2 minutes walk, drugstore and supermarket at a 5 minutes walk, campus at 15 minutes, near a street with many restaurants and shops...). The only thing is that it is quite expensive.

As a French student I was quite astonished when I heard that clubs close at 2am (that is the beginning of the night in France), but there is good music and all types of it. My personal favorite is Isabelle's (free for women until 10:30pm) and Fiction (only on Friday nights). As for restaurants, I recommend trying Tim Horton's, you cannot claim being a Canadian if you are not a regular!! Starbucks is here, but Tim Horton's is quite good and cheaper (and Canadian). If you have the occasion, definitely try to go see the Blue Jays play, they almost won the tournament when I was there (baseball). Or go see the Maple Leafs (hockey), they are very good, and the Raptors (basketball) too.

I took HR (RSM361) with prof Adam Stoehr, and it was the best class ever!! Every class was centered around a theme (Star Wars, the Olympics, Back to the Future...) and he made even firing fun! He also teaches in RSM260 (Organisational Behaviour). I also had RSM270, which is Operations Management and I loved it. I also recommend RSM362 with prof Nouman, it is called Leading Across Differences and it is nothing like you will ever see (no computers, almost no taking notes, just a long conversation between the prof and the students, with a guest every time). There is no final in this class (no written anyways), we only have one "paper" to hand out each week (of 1,000 words at most). It is very interesting and mind blowing teaching.

Huge beautiful campus, with many buildings but still very welcoming (coffees in every building, huge park, two gyms...). There are food trucks all over the street, and I really recommend the Second Cup coffees. I however had huge issues with my courses registration, turns out I was not registered at the right place by my home institution, so it took me 4 months to get all of my courses, and as there are limited places, you have a risk of not getting what you want because usually, Canadians have the priority. That is the only issue that I would point out.

I visited Niagara Falls, a MUST DO, it is wonderful (only 2hours from Toronto, $30-40 taking the bus). I also visited Vancouver, a 5hours flights as it is the other end of the country, but I recommend it (ocean, bordered by the mountains...). I did not do it, but also try going to Banff National Park for some mind blowing views. I visited Ottawa, which is a 5hours trip taking the bus (don't take the train, they are always late, it is more expensive and takes as long). It is a beautiful city, with many parks. Then I went to the US (Chicago, NYC and Washington DC), you can find flights for no more than $300 the whole trip, and it is the perfect occasion to visit your dream city. Also, if you decide to go on a trip, try out Hostels, they are cheaper than hotels and Airbnbs and usually very convenient (downtown, full of young people...).

There are two lines of subway that take you everywhere. The heart of the city is near Union Station (CN Tower, a must do, with the aquarium, also great, and the Roger Center, home of the beloved Blue Jays (even I am a fan now even if I do not know anything about baseball)). I recommend the City Pass, it is $150, but allows you to visit the CN tower, the aquarium, the zoo, do a cruise, and choose between the Casa Loma and the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), and believe me, it is a money saver (only thing: it is valid for 9 days). For restaurants, try YorkVille and Bloor Street. Beautiful parks: High Park, Queen's Park Don't forget Harbourfront and the Toronto Islands!!

Canadians are proud; don't compare them to Americans (they hate it). There can be snow in November (be prepared). If you shop at Metro, you have a 10% discount with your student card.

Unless you wanna share bathrooms, not really. But its just 10 mins from uni so for a semester its okay

Best restaurantt street is Dundas Street west

Business case analysis and presentation skills development is a challenging class but you'll get out presenting better 100%

I dont think I would pick the same uni again ngl.. but the campus was great. There's this big mall with a lot of food options close to uni.

New york, Niagara Falls. Dont go to mississauga

Food 100%, be mindful of the weather starting mid October

In Toronto center near osgoode station

Airbnb

Yes I would but only if you don’t mind cold temperatures

Two streets are king st and queen st where all the bars are located. My favorite one was Paris Texas. And for clubbing I liked department and coda, they usually do events with well known dj’s

I liked econometrics but you need to like maths and I really recommend professor that I had in two classes, he was called George Georgopoulos and my favourite class with him was eco365: international monetary economics

Campus was nice uni as well and I was lucky enough to be with a good friend of mine there however if I was going alone I might have preferred to go somewhere different in Asia or in South America

Definitely New York, even better if you know someone there. I also loved Miami and Barbados. Ithaca I would also recommend during st Patrick’s week end if you know someone at Cornell.

It is quite costly so I would recommend you to try and make your own food and try and find a store that has fresh products as a European that was super important for me

Absolutely would recommend, great host, convenient location.

Tough to fully socialize with people from university as it is a commuters university. Although there are also plenty of opportunities throughout Toronto to have fun, socialization might take a bit of effort.

Conflict and Negotiations, very good class, good information useful in everyday life, good teacher, workload was on the heavier side but satisfying and worth it. Entertainment marketing, good teacher, rather simple, low work load. Creating capitalism, great teacher, good discussions, must be open to have class discussions to make the most of the learning, work load was management and very autonomous. Personal Finance, great teacher, information is relevant to everyday life, work load was fair.

Campus is nice despite the fact that it was a bit far from the city center. Make sure to take a lot fo time to properly research and plan out the classes and schedule you want. I set mine up to have only 3 days of university, so i could have enough time to explore the city and north america, as well as do less weekly commuting.

Montreal is a great city to visit, Niagara Falls is a fun little road trip to do with friends, New York is close by, there as also loads of cheap flights from Toronto.

Cost of living is slightly expensive, such as groceries and public transport and gyms, although not unmanageable. Come prepared for the winter if your there for the spring semester. Eating out is relatively cheap compared to groceries.
