1. Movie Time

Whether you are staying in and watching a movie from the comfort of your own home or heading out to the local cinema to catch a newly released flick, a movie is a great way to relax during exam season. The Cinema Banque Scotia Montreal is only a ten-minute walk from Hazelview Properties’ 1212 Avenue des Pins Ouest Apartments and offers an exciting cinema experience with the latest and greatest in movies. Most movies are around 90-120 minutes long, providing you with a break that isn’t too short or long. Grab some popcorn, put on some comfy clothes and enjoy a great show.

2. Head to the Spa

If you are looking for an afternoon of pampering that takes relaxing during exam time to a whole new level, try your local spa. St. James Spa is a full service day spa that is located in the heart of downtown Montreal, less than a ten-minute walk from Hazelview’s 1212 Avenue des Pin Ouest Community. This local spa offers everything from deep tissue massages to high performance facials, everything you need to unwind and relax during exam time. 

3. Sweat it Out

A quick session at the gym or in a fitness class is a great way to reduce stress and get your endorphins pumping. It’s a great idea to get your body moving after spending so much time cooped up in the library studying. McGill University Fitness Centre is less than a ten-minute walk from Hazelview’s 1212 Avenue des Pin Ouest Apartments and offers a state-of-the-art fitness facility for students and alumni. This Montreal property also offers a fully equipped gym and sauna for days where you’d rather work out from the comfort of your own home. 

4. Go Bowling

Beat your exam blues with a quick and fun session of bowling. There is nothing like going bowling with some friends for an afternoon full of friendly competition and laughs to get your mind off exam time. Sharx is a 15-minute walk from Hazelview’s 1212 Avenue des Pin Ouest Communities and features ten lanes of bowling, a bar and cocktail lounge, multiple large screen TV’s, billiard tables and virtual indoor golf.

5. Enjoy the Great Outdoors

Sometimes the best way to de-stress from exams is to simply go outside and enjoy the great outdoors for a few minutes. Mount Royal Park is less than a 20-minute walk from Hazelview Properties’ 1212 Avenue des Pin Ouest Apartments in Montreal. Mount Royal is one of Montreal’s most beautiful and popular parks, with multiple scenic trails, picnic areas, skating rinks and off-leash dog areas.
