There are a lot of research opportunities at Concordia, even for undergrads! In your second year, start reaching out to profs. There are so many opportunities to volunteer doing research, and once you start, the opportunities get better and better. It makes you more competitive when applying for a Master’s, and it’s also just a great experience.
You can also apply for the CUSRA, the Concordia Undergraduate Research Award. I got one last summer so I got a salary for my Honours research. It’s not always commonly talked about, but if you start talking to professors, they’ll point you in the right direction.
Favourite spaces around campus?
I love the library -- even when I was at McGill, I would come to this library. It’s so modern. There’s something for everyone. There’s quiet rooms, and there’s extra quiet rooms, where you’re not even allowed to type, if you just want to go somewhere and read. It’s just the right amount of comfortable, there are always free computers, and the computers are really fast.
