From the Concordia website: Concordia is a large, urban university, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The university has two campuses, set approximately 7 km apart: Sir George Williams Campus is in the downtown core of Montreal, and Loyola Campus is in the residential west-end of Montreal. They are connected by a free shuttle-bus service for students, faculty and staff.


Concordia considers the city of Montreal to be an invaluable asset to the university experience. It has a population of three million, and is one of the oldest cities in North America and one of the world’s largest French-speaking cities. While French is the predominant language, there is also a large English-speaking population. Many ethno-cultural communities also help maintain a vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

You can also retreat to the nearby Laurentian Mountains or the Eastern Townships. Once there, you can do everything from windsurfing to skiing (alpine, as well as cross-country), or just explore the beautiful countryside. It’s all within an hour or two of Montreal.

Housing: Hingston Hall is located at the Loyola Campus. During the academic year, it houses 147 students in traditional dormitories with shared washroom facilities.
