20 Montreal University Student Stereotypes That May Or May Not Be True
Living the student life in Montreal is beyond sweet. With low rents, an amazing nightlife scene, and an array of universities, Montreal is practically tailored to students. And with so many populating the city, some fairly clear stereotypes about them have formed. That's just how society works.
Depending on if you're a student at UQAM, Concordia, UdeM, or McGill, the stereotypes may differ. In other cases, a stereotype runs through every academic institution in the city. But regardless, these stereotypes are largely not true of every student, but more often than not, they're 100% accurate.
So in honour of Montreal's multitude of students and their respective stereotypes, we've gotten a little academic ourselves. Below we've created some statistics (in the most unscientific way possible) on the most prevalent stereotypes associated with every major university.
