[quote=Anonymous]Niece (American citizen, from NY) is in her fourth year at McGill, and has had a great experience there (notwithstanding COVID disruption).   Liked her program (math major), liked the school, made good friends (both American and Canadian), loved Montreal.   She'll likely stay on for a fifth year to get her masters and I guess be a step closer to qualifying for a Canadian work permit (not a long-term objective but an option).  She's someone who did an exchange year (in France) during high school, so maybe she was more ready than some for a cross-cultural experience.

Her parents loved that unlike the US colleges she considered, McGill cost them less (p/y) than her private high school in NY did.

Of course, anyone who goes to college in Canada (particularly in the big laurentian cities) has to be prepared that they'll likely be exposed to a fair amount of some Canadians' insecure (and unreciprocated) love/hate obsession with proving that Canada is 'better' (by whatever metric) than the United States, but presumably if you live there you just learn to let that run off your back.  Which is probably a useful education in and of itself.     [/quote]
