[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I really liked McGill. We toured at the end of summer [/b]when freshmen first arrived on campus. And they had all these activities and competitions and what not for the new students to quickly build community.

And of course the weather was perfect and Montreal is such a cool city. The tour guide was very chill and very funny. The school is great. The location is perfect at the base of Mount Royal. It's a city school, but you get a good nature hike just going up the hill.

If DC hadn't gotten into his ED school, I would have pushed hard for McGill. Of course, it's probably more useful for potential students to visit Montreal in January and not the end of August when everything is glorious.  [/quote]

Yeah you fell into the trap! Montreal is so, so glorious from mid-May or early June through early October. And then, it's the wind, rain, snow, freezing rain, windchill olympics. Never understood why the academic year was run from Sept-April only. Most students who go home for summer miss the best 3-4 months of the year weatherwise when all of Montreal comes out of hiding and the city comes alive and the poor kids have to live through the worst Nov-March.

But yeah, barring winter it's a fantastic city.[/quote]
