Toronto vs Montreal

If you want to study in Canada, you might be wondering which city is the right one for you. Earlier in the year we published the QS Best Student Cities 2017, a ranking of the top 100 cities in the world to be a student – and Montreal sent shockwaves by knocking Paris off the top spot to now rank 1^st. Toronto is joint 11^th this year, sharing the position with Hong Kong and coming straight after fellow Canadian city Vancouver at 10^th.

So both cities clearly have a lot to offer students  – but which one should you call home when you study in Canada?

To help you decide, we’ve created this infographic to compare Toronto vs Montreal on the cities’ rankings performance, lifestyle, affordability and employer activity. We’ve also included some quotes from students themselves who told us about their experiences in our student survey – with the new Student View category helping to shape this year’s ranking.
