Hi Folks, I am admitted for Fall 2011 at Concordia University for MACompSci. I just wanted to know more about Accomodation in Montreal. I did check airbnb and it does not look like a cheap option for long term stay. Could anyone please share an estimate for a 1 Single Room/Person with a shared Kitchen? Also in case anyone else is looking for a similar accomodation, please PM me. 
Thanks in advance. Jerry |

airbnb is for short term stays... sort of like private residence "hotels". If you are not going to stay in University's residence, then you are probably looking to sign a lease for the duration of your planned stay. Classifieds (craigslist, local newspapers) is a good place to start (it is strongly recommended to actually visit the place (or get someone in the city to do it for you), before signing any papers). |

Hi Jerry, My family owns a house in which we rent rooms to students, maybe you would be a good fit? We are looking for long-term, though, and are located in Outremont. Feel free to send me a PM. Philippe |
