I am completely fluent in English and French, however, my roommate is American and never studied French, and is having just as good of an experience here as I am. And although I cannot speak for every university in Montreal, I know that at least at McGill although everyone likes to party, there is no problem getting work done. Everyone had to work really hard to get there, and is surrounded by people that understand the importance of getting their shit done. Also, the weather is not that bad. Buy a coat and some boots, and you're fine--it usually stays above -20 except for a couple weeks each year.
