Costs of living in Montreal (lemmy.ca)

Hello people from the Lemmyverse.

This September I will move out to Montreal for a Ph.D. Internship program that lasts until December. I have searched the costs of living but much of the content is outdated and not trusty enough for my taste.

How much should I expect to pay in Rent, Groceries, Transportation and in a Gym membership? Given that I will be there for work, I will not make tourism in anywhere fancy or expensive, I hope.

What I am most worried is the costs of rent. I am ok in sharing a place, not a room, with a bunch of people - needing only to be cheap.

My total budget is between 1400~1800 CAD per month.

If anyone can help me with that, I would be glad. Thanks :)

I will be far from IGA and closer to Sami's Fruit, for sure. I was thinking to live in the suburbs. The worst places to live in Montreal is incredibly cozy for my standards.

And, yeah, will try to make friends with the punks and co. Wish they accept me with my rusty français
