"HEC Montréal is not accountable for the quality of the accomodations mentioned on those websites. We suggest students to be careful before giving any amount of money."
HEC Montréal does not have student residences. In Montréal, most students normaly share apartments, all costs related to housing and much more!
You are worried not to find an apartment once in Montreal and wish to rent a room before your arrival?
We have reserved about 60 rooms or studios in different neighborhoods of Montréal in collaboration with the company Get your place. Their rooms are fully furnished and the price of the rooms depends on the size of it, the services included and the neighborhood. This type of sharing will also give you the opportunity to live with other exchange students to enhance your international experience!
Please note that you will be given access to the website to see the rooms and consult the offers only in May. Reservations will start in June. There is no priority system, the first one to reserve will get the room when the system opens. An email with all details will be sent to you in May.
It can be quite hard to find an apartment in Montréal for a short period (4 -5 months). Be aware that we will be there to assist you as soon you get here. Should you choose to reserve a room once in Montréal, you have a place to stay for your first days in the city. For more information about housing, please contact us at :housing@hec.ca
If you do not know anyone in Montreal and did not book a room before your arrival you must reserve an accommodation for the first days. Many options are offered to you: hotel, youth hostels, couch surfing, etc.

*HEC Montréal is not responsible for the quality of accommodation offered. We invite you to be very careful with all money exchange, especially over the internet.
In order to find an apartment on your own for the whole semester, we suggest you to visit the following websites:
We strongly refrain you from reserving an apartment without seeing it or even more to send a deposit to a landlord (beware of the fraud, it happens every year). Should you decide to make a deposit anyways, please make a cheque that covers only the last month of the rent. Make sure you have a contract and keep the number of this cheque to cancel it in case of fraud.

Once in Montréal, if you still haven’t found an apartment, we are there to help you all through the Orientation week for personalized help. Over that week, a computer room will be available at Côte Sainte-Catherine’s building (CGI1). In this room, we will also have students to guide you in your research and phones to call the landlords for appointments and visits.
