Instead of "Sinomontreal", this BBS would be the place you communicate with other 'local' Chinese in the next one or two years.
BTW,the public transportation system is not so good as that of Montreal. My recommendation is to find yourself a place close to school if you have to rely on "bus". Well, building "101" might be good for UQO students as well. Coz you will find many schoolmates living there, who can give you lifts to school.
