however

, I'd like to give you some advice about your question regarding accommodation during your study in Montreal.
First

, you might need to know that during my studies I was living in a one-bedroom apartment which was a bit far from the university campus.
Although

 it is a very quiet and nice place, you should consider the distance and leverage it with the rent cost.
Also

, you might need a few sources to search for a place, and I'd suggest Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji. There are plenty of choices with their prices and detailed description.
However

, I need to warn you that do not let the pictures deceive you before setting up a visit and making your decision. Because there might be some hidden flaws which are missing in the images
such

 as bed bugs and problematic washrooms. So, look carefully and patiently to make a good choice.
Finally

, I can accompany you on your visits if you can arrange them for weekends. Let me know if I can help. Best regards, Parham
