Thanks jenste. Typo it s 15000CD annually, obviously I won't go for 1500CD lol. I was thinking about the Plateau I heard it s nice and calm place to be at. I contacted 15 ads in Craigslist but got one answer and he require to meet in person, I can t go and back just to book a place, officially classes start the 6th January, I was thinking about going around the 3rd stay in a motel of those daily rooms and search for a place. Sounds crazy but I got no choice man, you got to do what you got to do.

Hi every fellow I got accepted to a ph.d biology program in McGill, I received a MS in applied mathematics from a public university in Chicago US. The amount of student support I received is 1500CD annually, it seems not too much but based on some googling I did, it looks that is enough to survive a productive student life in Montreal. I will start this winter, January 2014. I still don't have any place reserved yet, some Craigslist statistics indicate that the average renting is around 550 for a room in a shared apartment in a walkable distance from school (I know but 2.5 miles is walkable in a cold day for me) I tried by emailing to arrange some deal before I get there, but didn't work will. I d like to find a room in an apartment shared with other Ph.D or MS student like me for some reasons "that all of you kind of know". I will be happy if some kind, help giver, advise giver, ... Any thing to guide my move. By the way I m looking for some rent <= 400 all included, I believe that I still can get a decent place for that price. Cheers
