AccomodationThere are a number of accommodation options available in Montreal. As we explain below, we are hoping to secure some 4,5-bedroom apartments in the Concordia University student accommodation. We can then assign these rooms to participant. Please read below for more details. We also mention four places where you can book individual rooms. The University of Montreal accommodation and the Berri suites offer good value, while Hotel Trylon and La Cite have more facilities, higher quality rooms, and are more expensive. We recommend that you think about accomodation immediately. In particular, if you intend to book a place yourself we recommend that you do so soon, as there are a limited number of rooms available.
Concordia University Student Accommodation -- 515 Saint Catherine -- http://www.515stecatherine.com/en/This accommodation block contains 4- and 5-bedroom apartments. These apartments are modern, stylish and practical, and each apartment contains 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and dinning area. Living in these apartments should offer a good opportunity to get to know other participants. In addition there are a number of facilities on the ground floor of the building, including a gym, a TV room, a games room and a music room. There is free access to wifi throughout the building. We are currently in negotiations with the managers of this facility to get a number of apartments which we can then offer to our participants. The price for the period 2-31 May will be approximately C$800. If you would be interested in staying in this accommodation please send us an e-mail (ssgt2010@cs.mcgill.ca). We will then send you an update, hopefully a confirmation, regarding this accommodation at the end of February.
