You said crepuq, did you ?

Crepuq stands for « Conférence des recteurs et présidents des universités québécoises».
It’s a private organisation comprising, on a voluntary basis, all of Quebec’s universities.
CREPUQ was founded in 1963 and was incorporated in 1967 as a non-profit corporation. It has had a permanent secretariat since January 1968.

Most of its budget comes from annual membership fees. Crepuq permits to many students to come in Québec to follow their Studies.
The twenty universities who are concerned by this organisation are listed right here :

Can you tell us about Quebec ?
It’s a small city of around 500,000 people. People who are very cordial, by the way. Quebec is an old city, like Lille. The city is close to ski’stations, it’s very pleasant to live here if you like nature, and sports.

 

What about your university, Laval ?
We are about 35,000 students on the campus which is close to the downtown St Foix.
The campus is composed of many faculties which all have theirs owns buildings.
The associations are very important, especially in sports, we have a basketball team, an ice hockey team, a football team (not soccer). Another thing to know is about students’housing, on the campus there are residences but the better system is to live with roomates because the appartments are half less expensive.

 

What can you say to conclude ?
Come on and discover our culture : viens dans la cabane à sucre, boire du caribou (typical alcool but i don’t want to know with what it’s made) jouer des cuillères et danser le rigodon.  A modern country but full of traditions and proud of it french background. To discover, absolutely.
