Champlain College has a satellite campus located in Montreal, Quebec. The reason for this is that Montreal has a couple game studios up there, and Champlain knew it would be beneficial to the Electronic Game Development students as well as other business and Graphic Art students. We were fortunate to dorm at UQAM's International building, which allowed us to interact with other students from culturally different backgrounds. It was a little difficult though, since we weren't sure if the person standing next to us in the elevator or in the laundry room actually knew English. Luckily we eventually meet a lot of nice people in the building.
The other cool thing about the Montreal campus was that our teachers were from the industry. It was great to hear the teachers telling us all these little tips and tricks to better our art skills and what the industry is looking for. Game related or not, the amount of things I learned while up in Montreal was enormous.
I'd do anything to get a job up there, Montreal is friggin' awesome.
