[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a SLAC in the northeast undergrad, and McGill for graduate school.

McGill is big. Undergrad classes are big, and taught with heavy TA involvement. Students are expected to be adults, and they aren't "managed" to the same degree. There are very few Canadian universities that do that -- the only one I can think of is Mt. Allison in New Brunswick. McGill to me looks and feels a lot like somewhere like UVA, albeit with a much larger international reputation, Nobel prize winners, etc.

If you're looking for a bigger school experience and an urban campus, it's a great option. Montreal is a spectacular city. [b]But McGill ins't big into spirit, or school boosting. [/b]It just gets on doing its thing. In that sense, it's a very different vibe.[/quote]

This is interesting. I was just in Montreal for a few days, staying at a hotel on the same block with at least one McGill residence hall. The whole time I was there, I saw only one student wearing an article of clothing with the word McGill on it.
