Student review [#93555] for Psychology
at McGill University

McGill’s psychology program is incredibly saturated, so be prepared for extremely full classes and limited opportunities to form close relationships with professors. Many instructors are deeply knowledgeable about their own research, but are often teaching courses outside their specialty, which can feel less relevant. The honors program is highly competitive, with an intense and sometimes unrealistic workload. Success requires working extremely hard, mostly through cramming and memorization, and exams are often multiple choice, which means learning tends to be fairly surface-level.

That said, the campus culture is vibrant, with a strong sense of community, and the university’s reputation opens doors far beyond graduation. Overall, it’s a program that demands effort but offers great prestige and a lively academic environment.
