A top 20 school in North America, in the #1 rated city for students in North America, for about the lowest price in North America for locals and internationals. Campus is compact, has a great vibe and you can walk to your classes easily (except when there's ice on the hill!) You get high-level academics, smart peers, great night life (when you're not studying), and you can afford to share an apartment with friends near campus downtown. Lots of research opportunities in labs on work being done for publication. You get treated like an adult, no handholding, and the academics are a major adjustment from high school. Fellow students are cool and helpful. Early classes can be huge, but the profs are mostly great and the classes get smaller higher up. If you're looking for a "college" where everyone's into football, it's not the place. It's a university, but on a great scale, in a bilingual city with diverse students. Love this place!
I love my academic experience at McGill so far! My professors seem to be really passionate about the material they teach and it comes across even over a Zoom format. You really have to be proactive and independent to thrive at McGill and know how to ask for what you want. TAs and professors always seem willing to help. Most teachers have been very understanding with what's going on during the pandemic. Students are not overly competitive and can be quite collaborative, very helpful to join a class group chat in the beginning of the semester.
McGill was a wonderful adventure and an excellent value, offering a wide range of faculties from Medicine, to Dentistry, Psychology, Physical and Occupational Therapy, Nursing, Business, Sciences, Education, Engineering, Music, Arts, Law, Environment and Agriculture, Social Work, Computer Sciences, and on.
The city of Montreal was a great asset providing wonderful restaurants, shops, nightclubs, and world class museums, all walking distance from McGill.
The dorms are nearby, some of which are nestled into the side of Mount Royal, Montreal’s “Central Park” with walking paths, bike and ski paths and sloping hill and shallow lake up top, perfect for relaxing in the fall and spring and skating and hot chocolate in the winter. Gorgeous mountains for climbing and skiing are within 2 hrs.
Classes are rigorous, students are serious, and much was time spent in the library.
Many nationalities were present with many students speaking 2-4 languages.
Just a wonderful experience!
