[quote=Anonymous]My brother attended McGill and graduated in the early 2000s. Finance/Econ degree. No problem landing a lucrative finance job in the States after graduation. One of DH's brothers went there but is considerably older so not sure how relevant his experience would be.

I will echo the people who say it's a good fit for US students who are independent and don't need a lot of hand holding. If your kid has been sheltered and has not been exposed to a lot of different cultures and/or doesn't navigate new situations well, it's probably a poor fit unless you have a close contact in Montreal who can be on standby in case of illness or homesickness or whatever. My brother had traveled extensively before going there, spoke decent French, and was an independent kid so it was fine for him. Also, it gets really cold there, and dark in winter. I remember him getting one of those SAD lamps for his dorm. If your child likes warm weather and sunny skies year round, McGill is not the place for them.
