In terms of the Sociology program, I think that the variety in concepts and classes, the work-load, and the professors have exceeded my expectations. It asks me to work hard, without putting extreme amounts of pressure and I find my classes to be engaging and clear. The one issue I would state that McGill has in their Sociology department, is in teaching students what their future career paths or opportunities could be. Even before the future, how students can find work experience and understand where Sociology as a program could take them. I think that a lot of students, like me, find Sociology incredibly interesting but find it difficult to find employability related to the specific program.

McGill University is an excellent institution that has many resources to offer if one is a driven and inquisitive student. However, their new program “Education in Global Contexts” is arguably quite underdeveloped and is the only reason I have found myself dissatisfied at McGill university. The first-year requirements isolate one from the greater student body, do not require students to cultivate critical thinking skills, and are arguably not well related to future careers this degree could provide. Overall, McGill is a strong academic institution, but their integrated education and arts program should be avoided if one is seeking a challenge and does not have an interest in teaching.
