HOUSING & FACILITIES Housing & Facilities | Costs & Payments | Applications & Deadlines | Travel Matters   Accommodations Montreal has a large range of accommodations options for participants to choose from. The Grey Nun residence at Concordia, where reservations for a number of SLS participants have been made, is a centrally-located dormitory style residence. There is a mixture of single and double rooms, kitchenettes and lounges, a games room, a common room on the ground floor, a small fridge in each room, and access to a garden. The Grey Nun building is a short walk to Concordia University, where classes will be held. It is located right in the downtown area and is close to shops, restaurants, bakeries, bars and everything else Montreal has to offer. PRICES: (taxes not included) Singles $50CAD Doubles: $65CAD ($32.50CAD per person) The Grey Nun Building NOTE: SLS assistants pick up every participant at the airport, take people to their accommodations, and give them an orientation tour of the immediate area. Assistants will also show participants where the University is. No one ever gets lost with the SLS programs -- not at the airport, and not in the city... unless they want to get lost in the city, at some point. Montreal has a great transit system, but is also a beautiful city to walk around -- whether in the Plateau neighbourhood that is full of great restaurants, boutiques and bars, the throbbing downtown core, or the cobbled streets of Old Montreal. *SLS does not organize, nor is it responsible for housing options other than the Grey Nuns (student residence hall).

APARTMENTS A variety of short-term Montreal apartments is available on the Montreal Craigslist, under sublets/temporary and vacation rentals.
