guide is a reference document for students and future students of the LaSalle College Group. You’ll find it useful for, among other things, locating suitable housing and discovering your new neighbourhood. HOUSING LASALLE COLLEGE GROUP RESIDENCE The two LaSalle College Group buildings are located in the middle of Ville-Marie – one of the city's most exciting neighbourhoods – and a mere five-minute walk from the college itself. It is a historic neighbourhood, a business centre and economic motor that is also beloved by tourists as an alembic of knowledge and culture – a symbol of creativity and the arts. Since they are virtually adjacent to the Guy and Atwater subway stations, these apartments will provide you with simple and quick access to public transit, allowing you to easily reach virtually any area in North America's great north-eastern cultural metropolis. Studio-apartments in the 82-unit or the 11-unit building can be rented furnished or unfurnished. Studio I is a large room comprising an open kitchenette and a bathroom. It is furnished with a futon or bed, couch, desk, dining room table, corner table, kitchen table with two chairs, refrigerator and stove. Studio II is similar to studio I, but it features a closed kitchenette, and is furnished with a bed, two desks, a futon, a couch, a dining room table, a corner table, a kitchen table with four chairs, a refrigerator and a stove. For students who want to maintain their independence, this type of accommodation offers many advantages: a wireless Internet system so you can work in the comfort of your apartment, access to an in-building laundry service, basic telephone service, cable for your television, and the peace of mind that comes with having a concierge. Paid parking is available in both the LaSalle College and LaSalle College Group apartment buildings. AIRPORT PICKUP Our airport pickup service is available at Montréal's international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau Airport, Montréal Central Station and the Montréal bus station for our students from abroad.
