Student Accommodation Montreal

Founded in 1642 as Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary", Montreal is a slice of old Europe in a pie of contemporary design. It has a French colonial history that dates back to the 16th century. The city was initially settled as a missionary settlement but soon became a fur-trading centre. It is the 2nd most populated city in Canada and is named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill in the centre of the city. Its excellent location on St. Lawrence proved to be a major advantage in its development as an important centre of commerce, transportation, manufacturing, and finance. The city is the 12th-most liveable city in the world as per the Economist Intelligence Unit. It is also the best city in the world to be a university student in the QS World University Rankings.

Due to the increasing number of international students universities in Montreal struggle to accommodate them in the university-owned halls due to their limited capacity.
