LIFE AT FONTENEIGE

Since 1997, Fonteneige University Centre has met the needs of young women studying in Montreal. Activities at the Residence promote balanced personal development among women in CEGEP and University by stimulating competence, autonomy and personal responsibility.

LOCATION 

Fonteneige University Centre is in close proximity to the Université de Montréal (UdeM), the Hautes études commerciales (HEC) de Montréal, the École Polytechnique, and the École d’Architecture. The residence is a 4-minute walk to the University of Montreal Metro and a 26-minute bus ride to McGill. There is easy access to other Montreal universities by public transportation. 

OUR INSPIRATION

Fonteneige University Centre is inspired by the message of Saint Josémaria Escriva which we strive to live in our work, dealings with others, and all aspects of daily life.  Saint Josémaria founded Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church, to which the spiritual activities organized at the Fonteneige are entrusted.
