CAREER COUNSELLING
Some students come to CEGEP with an idea of what they
want to do and which career path they want to pursue;
but there are many students who are unsure or who feel
confused about which path to take. Counsellors and
psychologists are here to guide students through this
process to help students develop a career plan and
explore their options through standardized tests,
self-reflection, researching careers, online tools, meeting
professionals, exploring experiential opportunities, such
as volunteering or workshops, and discussion. Career
counselling is done individually or in groups.
STUDY SKILLS
Sometimes students’ academic performance may be
compromised because of a personal issue and/or there is
something else that is going on such as time
management, exam/ class anxiety and/or
procrastination. Students may also have difficulty with
study skills such as note-taking, preparing for exams,
how to read a textbook, etc. Counsellors and
psychologists are also here to help you through these
issues.

HOUSING
Our Student Services Department
maintains a Housing Registry that will
assist you in locating apartments and
rooms in the vicinity of the College. The
facilities in the Registry are not
inspected by Student Services nor the
College. Be sure to read all the “hints”
in this section before you go apartment
or room hunting. The lease that you
sign or the arrangement that you
undertake in the case of a private
home is your responsibility. Your
comments on the facilities listed in the
Housing Registry are always welcome.
TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION
PRIVATE HOMES
Additional Information
• Room with kitchen privileges This
type of accommodation has proven
to be popular and is most affordable.
The student prepares his or her
meals in the home at a lower cost
than restaurant or cafeteria dining.
38
• Room with meals provided
Depending on the arrangements
made with the family, this type of
accommodation allows for two or
three meals a day included in the
rent. This can be quite a handy
situation provided that it is
convenient for you to be home for all
of your meals. If not, perhaps you
should stick to a room with kitchen
privileges.
APARTMENTS
Most apartments are not furnished, but
they will often have a refrigerator and
stove. However, utility costs (e.g. heat
and electricity, etc.) may or may not be
included in the rent. Students should
be very cautious before signing any
lease and inquire about any «extras»
that may cost more. In the newspaper,
an apartment will be described as
1-1/2, 2-1/2 etc. The “:1/2” usually
refers to the bathroom. For example, a
2-1/2 room apartment would include a
bedroom, living room with a small
kitchenette, and bathroom. A 3-1/2
would be the same, but would have a
separate room for the kitchen. The rent
will vary according to the size of the
apartment, the building, the area it is
located in and the facilities offered.
LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO STAY ?
KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:
• Owners of a private home are
reluctant to rent early because a
student may not pass his or her final
high school exams, may not be
accepted by the college, may change
his or her mind, etc. August is usually
the best month to look for a place to
stay because, by then, most of the
above facts are known.
• A neat appearance helps to make a
good impression.
• Use the Student Services Housing
Registry, but remember that there
are other resources available.
• Speak to other students. Remember,
word of mouth can get you a great
apartment or room.
• Check the classified ads in the
Montreal and South Shore
newspapers. Le Courrier du Sud is a
good source of information. You can
scan the classifieds on their Internet
site at www. courrierdusud.com
• Check the bulletin boards in the local
shopping centres, grocery stores, etc.
• Sharing an apartment with another
student can be cheaper than renting
on your own. If you are interested in
finding a roommate, stop by Student
Services and place an advertisement
in the Housing Registry.
FOUND A PLACE TO STAY ?
ASK YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING:
• Do your appliances work? Nothing
can be as frustrating as a stove that
does not work, clogged drains, leaky
faucets, etc.
• Are the rooms well heated? How?
• How clean is the building? This will
give you a clue as to the type of
service that you will receive.
• Is your room soundproof? Remember,
living near an arcade or heavy traffic
can be irritating and can cut into
sleep and study time.
• Is there enough storage space and
closet space? For example, where will
you put your bike for the winter?
• If it is unfurnished, how big will your
apartment be after you move in your
furniture?
• How many electrical outlets are
there? Are they located in convenient
places?
• Are there laundry facilities in the
building? If not, how far away is the
nearest laundromat?
• How far away are you from shopping
centres, grocery stores, banks or a
credit union?
• What is the route to school? Will you
have to pay two or more fares to get
to your destination?
• Is there access to a telephone?
• Are pets allowed?
• If you own a car, are there proper parking
facilities? Do you have to pay extra?
• Are blankets and linen provided with your
room rental?
• Is there a secure lock leading into your
apartment or room?
• If you rent a room, what are the
expectations about having friends visit,
the sound level of your music, etc.?
INCIDENTALS
Do you need pots and pans, dishes, towels,
blankets, sheets or small appliances...? All
this can be costly if it’s not provided or if
you do not bring your own.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Before signing a lease, you should
consider important information which is
available from Student Services at
(450) 672-7360, extension 355. If you
encounter problems with your lease, you
can contact: Régie du logement / Rental
Board 201 Place Charles Lemoyne, 6th
floor, Longueuil (514) 873-2245 or
www.rdl.gouv.qc.ca
There is no charge for this service. If you
have a room in a private home where
three or more rooms are rented out, or
if your room has its own bathroom and a
separate entrance, you are eligible for
assistance from the Rental Board.
Student Services is also available to give
you a hand with any housing difficulties.
