Campus Life

  • McGill has two campus one downtown and the other Macdonald. Regarding student bodies, we have PGSS for graduate students and SSMU for undergraduates.
  • We have Indian student associations; to be honest, they are not that effective. We have lots of activities going on on campus – fewer for grads and more for undergrads.

  • For finding accommodation, it is mostly through friends, which is the most trustworthy, as international students are more prone to SCAMS. Be aware of it!. Some other platforms are facebook marketplace, Kjiji.
  • But make sure you sign the proper document and read the agreement terms and conditions. Some landlords create an issue, especially for those of Asian origin.

The campus infrastructre is pretty decent even though its a very old university. However, there are limited extracurricular activities and events on campus.

Even though there is option to live on campus, it is somewhat expensive and hard to get. Its better to live off campus. If you are able to live far from campus, you can find a room for as low as $400. Closer to downtown, rent can be as high as $900 for a private room. The average rent would be close to $600.

Campus life is so cool at McGill. There are so many clubs, communities and events always happening. The environment is very diverse and inclusive. My fav spot on campus is the Redpath library. I love to sit there for infinite hours and read during my free time, having my sip of coffee. Plenty of sports opportunities, coaching programs and gym are available at the sports centre.

No on-campus accommodation at McGill. Everything is off-campus. My studio rent is about $725 per month and I live individually. There can be plenty of sharing options as well with minimum of $500 rent.

There was a lot of opportunities on campus that were engaging and made campus. Feel very homely. There was always events going on, and students had multiple opportunities to be active or to participate in a number of different events. Any type of extracurricular activity that you would’ve had interest, and you would have an opportunity to participate in, and there was never any barriers to participate. SSMU or the student society was very well organized and the spaces for student clubs and events was central which allowed exposure to almost all students about all kinds of things that were going on. From academic clubs to sports to recreation in terms of dance, and other hobbies, like theatre were vibrant and active. There were a lot of set clubs who’s focus were to help students with career growth and research opportunities. And shared spaces such as libraries or teaming with students, and most bulletin boards recovered with information on upcoming opportunities for all kinds of things. All areas had access to Wi-Fi and the gym facilities were busy but had everything you could hope for from a university gym.

I do not live on McGill dormitory facilities, but there were a lot of private student dorm residences and I did live in one of those. Companies such as campus one and Evo are some residence providers that had accommodations only for students which allowed you to have that exposure and that experience to living with students, but having the luxury of having a new clean facility and space for yourself that was similar to an apartment. Those were on the more expensive side, but there were options to share with roommates, or to live in group shared spaces, which would have brought your cost down for a single room, or a single board by quite a bit. For an equivalent experience to the private residences if you were to gather that with university, it would’ve cost a lot more mostly due to lack of supply. On average, they were the rentals at that time which must’ve gone up now we’re about two grand.

Good library, and almost every book is available. Superfast wi-fi at the campus, good sports facilities - a 15-minute walk from the Faculty of Law. There is a JD football team and a graduate football team (Legalacticos) that takes part in intramurals.

I prefer to live off-campus because it is cheaper. If you are on tight budget consider living with seniors (Google combo2generations).

There are a lot of active clubs within each department in almost any field that a student can think of. Sports facility is top notch with several huge libraries around the campus.

University accommodations can be a bit expensive over 1000 CAD per month. Rentals close by can be got for about 550-600 CAD on a sharing basis.

The accommodations for the first year was great. However, they were a little expensive which is why I would recommend staying off-campus.

I chose this university due to its stature and location. Canada provides better opportunities for jobs after graduation that other countries.

I live off campus which is 10 mins walk away from the campus. I live in a basement of a house with an attached washroom to my room and I'll be sharing the Kitchen with three others on the first floor.

There were many reasons. A few of them are #1 - It's one of the world's top-ranked universities (ranked - 32 in the world) #2 - The course structure #3 - My area of interest that matches with the supervisor I selected #4 - Campus culture (got to know through my seniors & friends)

I live in a shared room with one of my friends. If you want a single room, it is around 700-800 CAD. It is not that expensive considering the apartment are downtown.

McGill is considered one of the best Universities. In addition to this, it was cheaper than UBC and UofT. The course offered was really good and it good location.

No, I live with friends 10 minutes away. The accommodation is very easy to find around the campus at cheaper rates than the hostel.

This university is affordable along with a very nice location in Canada. It is a fair acceptance rate and good courses at its disposal.
