That's pretty awesome! I found a new roommate and she happens to go to Concordia as well. She's doing her Masters in Electrical Engineering. I like Côte-des-Neiges.

Thanks for the tips. I've lived in New Hampshire every winter of my life, and the last few years, I'll admit I've been obstinate in compromising function for fashion in my everyday winter shoes. We'll see if Montreal's winter can change my prospective.
