McGill University Reviews and Ratings

Because it's a great college and give the prospect of getting Canadian PR after.

I have known about McGill University since I was around the age of 15. I discovered it one day when I was walking the streets of Montreal with my family. Four years later, I found myself intrigued by McGill, it's a beautiful campus and it's a wide choice of great programs. The admission process, from what I remember, was pretty straightforward.

Because of it's reputation in research and because it was an English school in my area. I also really did not want to leave the province I am living in so McGill seemed like the clear choice. It also had an option to apply to honours in my second year which I really liked as it would motivate me to stay on top of my work in my first year.

The cost, as well as the opportunity to get away from my hometown. Plus, my college was recommended to me by many of my mentors and peers. I was also particularly interested in double majoring in econ and compsci, and I heard both programs here were pretty good. Most of the other colleges I got into were engineering focused or forced me to choose one or the other.

It is the most elite/highest ranked university in my province (Quebec), as well as highly distinguishable worldwide and in Canada. Further, as a science major, I was heavily influenced by the research-centered ideology of McGill.

High International student percentage, Top university in Canada, good employment prospects. Most importantly, located in Canada, which has a very open immigration policy for students who study and work in the country.

I wanted to explore the city of Montreal, as I grew up in Ottawa which is not too far. I also grew up speaking French and wanted to move to a city where French is present and I could practice. McGill is also known worldwide for its academics and I wanted to get a good education.

McGill has a good reputation as a major university, with some prestige. Also, it is in Montreal which is a large and multicultural city. I wanted to leave home, but not the country so that I can have some independence but still be close to my family so I can visit. Also, it offered a special concurrent program for food science and nutrition.

Because the location was pretty and I liked the city and the people were nice and they spoke two languages which are the two languages I speak and it was very nice that they were nice enough to be nice.

It was the best and most affordable option compared to going to the United Kingdom or the United States. Also, the college credit earned me a year of credits to graduate early and this university is very highly ranked at a global level.
