In their own words — what students said about classes and academic life at HEC Montréal:

“The campus is good, the library is good to study. There's two buildings, 10 minutes walk to go from one to another. I would definitely go there again. The registration is easy and simple, you can always communicate by mail to the Exchange Program. I would say Visa is more work than registration in itself.”

“Campus is pleasant, good atmosphere, easier to meet people if you join an association. Courses require personal work but manageable. Go to class, presence helps to follow and avoid delays.”

• Classe difficile en finance. Très bon prof
• Doing business in emerging
