I was in a co-op program so I did the apartment thing on work terms (also generally moving independently etc.), but was happy to live in a dorm for most of my years of school – even though the dorm food was pretty awful in those days, it was easier not having to cook for myself I did live in a school-owned apartment (near, but not on, campus) senior year. It’s definitely good to have that independence experience one way or another – I know a lot of kids now do it with summer internships.

ETA: my kid is not a city mouse (cf my rural engineering schools thread) so having to live “in” the city of Montreal would not be a good fit for him. But Montreal is an incredible city, so I can see it being a great experience for many.
