Montreal ranks first in the world for university experience, according to a recent poll conducted by China\u2019s Bank of Communications and the Economist Intelligence Unit think tank.<\/p>\n
The report, which compared 80 cities worldwide, shows that Montreal provides the best university experience for money spent. This was determined by analyzing 24 indicators including educational and financial returns, social life, and work opportunities. The city\u2019s combination of top-tier universities combined with a robust cultural scene and relatively inexpensive tuition helped push Montreal to the top.<\/p>\n
The Montreal school with the most international students is McGill, with foreigners making up about 8,300 of its 38,000 attendees. In total, almost 40% of Canada\u2019s over 200,000 international students are Chinese.<\/p>\n
For those in the Montreal education scene, news of the city\u2019s success came as no surprise. Speaking to the Montreal Gazette, McGill dean of students Andre Costopoulos said \u201cWe have world class universities like London and Boston, but both cost of living and the cost of education is cheaper. We always say that the secret weapon of McGill is that we\u2019re in Montreal.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to McGill, which is an English-language university, Montreal is home to Concordia University (English), l\u2019Universite du Quebec a Montreal (French), and l\u2019Universite du Montreal (French) amongst other schools.<\/p>\n
