Hello people from the Lemmyverse.
This September I will move out to Montreal for a Ph.D. Internship program that lasts until December. I have searched the costs of living but much of the content is outdated and not trusty enough for my taste.
How much should I expect to pay in Rent, Groceries, Transportation and in a Gym membership? Given that I will be there for work, I will not make tourism in anywhere fancy or expensive, I hope.
What I am most worried is the costs of rent. I am ok in sharing a place, not a room, with a bunch of people - needing only to be cheap.
My total budget is between 1400~1800 CAD per month.
If anyone can help me with that, I would be glad. Thanks :)
I am willing to even share a room, as long as I keep it cheap, so, not worrying about a room for one, right now. Didn’t put the time to make the search in french, so, will look into colocataire on marketplace and search engine also. For what I have seen, people are looking for long-term roomies, so, will have to deal with this problem. Huge thanks on the phone number/companies! Was not even thinking about, but is good to have great options. For the Québec poutine… Definitely a try!!
I forgot to say! If you don’t have them already, place some leftover money to get a used winter coat and some boots (maybe the boots won’t be needed, sometimes snow is late). September it will be fine, but as november comes closer it will start getting cold
