Which school will rule?

Bye college!

This is your final semester at college. You’ve been studying Social Science – Commerce at Maisonneuve College for almost two years. You now have to choose which University you want to go to. You hesitate between studying Accounting at HEC Montreal or studying Business at Montreal University. You decided to apply at the two, and you got accepted at both Universities! You now have to decide which want you want to go to.

Choice 1 : Choose HEC Montreal

Choice 2 : Choose Montreal University

Maisonneuve College

Welcome to HEC Montreal!

You are now beginning your first semester at HEC Montreal! You already made a few friends and you like your classes and your field of study. You learned a lot about accounting, such as accounts payable, balance sheet, budgetary accountability, capitalized interest and tangible assets. You were quite overwhelmed with all the work at first, but you succeeded to pull off straight A's in almost all of your exams! You are very proud of yourself, but you are anxious about the big exam coming up. This exam is your final exam for your first year! To prepare yourself for this exam, you must choose between:

Choice 1 : Study with your new friends at Starbucks

Choice 2 : Study alone at home

HEC Montreal

Welcome to Montreal University!

Yes! You are finally starting University! You like the school and already met new friends! You find your classes interesting, but you find the amount of work maddening. You worked hard but saw the benefits when receiving your grades. You never missed any day of school but unfortunately, this morning, you feel sick. You have to decide whether:

Choice 1 : Go to school anyway because you don’t want to miss any class

Choice 2 : Stay home and rest to feel better tomorrow

Montreal University

Too bad.

That day, you talked all long with your friends and didn’t even study. You failed your exam.

Choice 1 : Go back to the start.

Failed exam

Congratulations!

You made a great decision! You used time management to help you study without being anxious about your time. You also put aside all distraction in order not to be disturbed. Congratulations, you passed your final exam! You had a great summer vacation, but you are now starting your second year at HEC Montreal. The school offers student internships in other countries, and you’re really interested in going! You have to choose between going to:

Choice 1 : Scotland

You passed!

Rest in peace.

Your car...

Feeling much better!

Today, you went to school and felt much better! Your new classmates even filled you in on what you missed in your Marketing class yesterday. In your Business class, you have a school project to do that will help you get a foot in the door in the world of business. You and your team have to become entrepreneurs and create an imaginary company, where you will choose who your competitors will be, find your suppliers, hire employees and build a team and find an efficient marketing strategy to make your business lucrative. For this project, you must choose your teammates. You have two drastically different group of friends that are in your class, and you have to decide if you want to work with:

Choice 1 : Your nerdy type of friends, who are very good at school and very smart but who are literally obsessed with their grades.

Choice 2 : Your party type of friends, who have good grades, even though they party more than they are studying.

Hi Scotland!

You arrived in Scotland safe and sound. You fell in love with the beauty of the country, and you are really enjoying your internship there.

The firm is offering you to stay and finish your studies at a University here. They also offered to hire you once you got your diploma. You have a big decision to make:

Choice 1 : Stay in Scotland and build life here.

Choice 2 : Go back to Montreal to pursue my studies at HEC Montreal and to go back to my family and friends there.
