McGill is an incredibly rigorous and prestigious school, with incredible professors and smart, driven and passionate students. Even though it is very difficult academically, being surrounded by like minded people who push you to improve yourself helps you stay motivated. I do want to say that it is a very big school, and you have be able to function independently and without needing much help from others. There are so many students and okay amount of resources, but don’t expect some one on one help and support in every aspect. However, when you do seek out for help etc from your professors, they are generally very helpful and understanding, at least in my experience so far. There is a good social and academic life balance at McGill I would say, however the academic part gets very unbearable and overpowering at certain points, but depends on program and year of course. But Mcgill always has something going on whether ut be events or social functions or something happening in campus, which I really enjoy as it fosters a feeling of community in such a large School. Despite all hardships and 3 hour finals, I love mcgill and im so glad I go to school here.
