The travel hack nobody talks about — student residences in summer
When universities break for summer, their residences open up to travellers — and the locations, value, and facilities will genuinely surprise you.
Campus1 Mtl in downtown Montreal is a perfect example. The room was spotlessly clean, common areas had a relaxed vibe with a massive projector TV, and paid games like pool, foosball, and table tennis.
But the real showstopper? Breakfast. A proper generous spread — yoghurts, cereals, hot food, Starbucks coffee with alternative milks, and halal and non-halal meat options. Genuinely impressive.
Location, cleanliness, and service all hit 5/5. Just don’t lose your key — it’ll cost you C$30.
Student residences in summer are now firmly on my travel radar. 🎓✨
