7 Reasons Why Montréal Should Be Your Next Wanderlust Destination
Anna Piazza

If you have the opportunity to head to Montréal, Québec, take it. This city is super attractive for these and other reasons:

1. It's basically Europe, only cheaper and closer.

Walking the brick streets of Old Montréal past cute shops, unique bars, antiquated banks and churches gives all the feels of being in historic European cities. But, if you live in the U.S., there's no need to cross an ocean. You still get the European experience without the plan ticket... Next road trip destination?

2. It's a vibrant city, full of diversity.

Montréal includes a mixture of tons of different cultures from all over the world.

It's also center for up-and-coming artists and musicians, so there are loads of murals, galleries, and art museums, not to mention beautiful architecture on many of the historic churches.


3. FOOD

MONTRÉAL HAS AMAZING FOOD. I'll let the pictures do the talking--

4. You won't go broke.

The American dollar currently having a strong conversion rate = better bang for your buck.

5. It doesn't feel like a huge city.

Somehow, this 4 million+ resident ville pulls of a quaint-town vibe.

6. Even in the freezing winter, you won't be too cold.

Webbed into Montréal is La Ville Souterraine, The Underground City, so while in winter, you can wander through the icy streets of the city, you can also go down a few levels to explore malls and restaurants, plus pieces of museums, universities, theaters, and more, all underground! "But how are these all connected?", you may ask... which leads to #7...

7. The Métro is second-to-none.

This underground public transportation chain of subway lines is super fast and super user-friendly. Over a half-million Montréalers are reported to use the Métro on any given day. They just walk to the nearest the Métro station, go underground a couple of stories, scan in their transportation card, and then take the Métro to the desired destination.

Happy exploring!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
