Business School in Montreal

[ggree]

I'm an European student currently planning on exchange to Canada for one semester. I'm studying Business and Economics and have seen that Montreal is one of the best student cities. The schools I can choose between in Montreal is:

1. McGill University
2. Concordia University
3. HEC Montréal

Can anybody say something about which school is preferable among those who offers business programs? I know that McGill scores the highest on the global ranking, but is it the best for business students? Among the complete list we're able to choose between a total of six other schools in Canada; Simon Fraser University, Queen's University, McMaster University, Brock University, Bishop's University and Mount Allison. I'd like to go on a good school, but I'd also like a nice stay. Is any of the schools above to be recommended?

How strong is your French? Are you fluent?

 

[ggree]

I do not speak french. I'd like to go to a university where they mainly speak English. But in bottom line it's the academic level in the school I'm interested in.

Is there anyone here that can help?

 

[ggree]

I have the impression that McGill University is the best school among the three in Montreal. Am I right?

If you don't speak French, you are limited to only Concordia and McGill in Montreal.

McGill is a higher-ranked school, but it is also rather expensive.

Concordia is averagely-ranked. It's not the worst, but it's not the best, and it is less inexpensive.

If you are concerned with having the "right" type of school on your CV/Resume, then McGill is the clear choice.
