Montreal is ranked first in the list of the world’s best cities for students. Taking into account the high-quality of education, affordable cost of living, and every other facility and benefits the city offers, there is no reason to not believe that Montreal is indeed the best city for students. Out of all the best-in-class services that the city provides, student accommodation is no different.

Regardless of the city being a Cosmopolitan, housing rents are cheaper compared to the other cities without any compromises on the quality of accommodation. Students have the option to pick between On-Campus Housing and Private Off-Campus Accommodation. Following are the major differences between the two:
