Montréal is multicultural, multilingual and is widely referred to as Canada’s “cultural capital”. It performs well across four of the six indicators assessed in the QS Best Student Cities ranking.
Montréal is home to several of Canada's highest-ranking institutions, including McGill University and the Université de Montréal. The city is also a regular contender in lists of the world’s best places to live – and it seems students agree: the city scores well for the student view ranking indicator.
Montréal is celebrated by students for its arts and culture, as well as for its friendliness and diversity, which is likely not to come as a surprise. As a French-speaking city in a largely English-speaking nation that has experienced mass immigration from across the world, Montréal is known for its multicultural makeup and inclusive ethos.
It’s also renowned for its laidback yet lively lifestyle, attractive boulevards, thriving creative industries, café culture, and eclectic range of arts venues, live performances and nightlife.
