Yiuel Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Yep, it was cool enogh for me, when I had to get out of my place, to wear my Pull. This is to me the first official indication of the cooling season in Quebec, which begins a few days after my birthday. How's weather going in your place? Still as in summer, cooling as well? Warming (as in Australia)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilHurdle Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Its cooling down 2day as well, btw Yiuel, what college do you goto? I'm looking at McGill as possible choice right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted September 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 I am at the University of Montreal. It is French, so I don't think you'd like to go where I am. As for English universities in Quebec, you have three : McGill, well known about everything, and Concordia, good about humanities (social science and arts). Both are in Montreal. The last one is Bishop : seems to be good, but it's far away in Sherbrooke (2 hours from Mtl).But if you want to go to a French university (who knows...), well, you have, in Montreal, Université de Montréal (good about Science, Music and East-Asia (my program!!!)) and UQÀM (Good at Humanities). And you have small Universities (all French) scattered around from the UQ league (Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Outaouais, Trois-Rivière, Saguenay, Rimouski) and Université de Sherbrooke, in Sherbrooke, and Université Laval, in Quebec City.

Yiuel Posted September 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 So probably you would like to go in a French university So, in Quebec, you have a lot . It depends on what program you want to choose, and where you want to study. If you really want to study French and have almost nopossibility to practice otherwise, I would recommend Quebec City. It's about 100% French (in Montreal, it's 50%), and they have the best French university in North America about some topics.But, if you prefer cosmopolitanism, then you would like Montreal. If you don't go in French university, you are able to not use French at all in Montreal. Hence, in McGill, your French language studies would be particularly useless.If your goal is to study French, then go in a French University (I would recommend UQAM or Laval)... I always say that to better study a language, living in it is always the best (that's why I plan some studies in Japan, because I'm learning Japanese). If your goal is to study something in French, well, it depends on what you want to study. My program was only available in one French Uni.Well, I can guide you if you want to Only say what is your objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natedog Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Desmond, I think your forecast (or at least you postcast) is a little outdated. It was scorching after school today. I know, I walked home with a long-sleeve shirt, a short-sleeve shirt, jeans, (underwear of course, :-P ) and gloves.Don't ask. :drug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
