Cost of living

The costs of university are more than just tuition. To plan a budget, you need an idea of what your other expenses will be and whether you’ll live on- or off-campus.

Quebec residents

Quebec residents pay a lower tuition rate at Quebec Universities than other Canadian or international students.

To pay Quebec resident tuition rates, first you must apply for Quebec resident tuition status. If you do not do this, you will pay higher tuition rates.
