My family has a condo in old montreal and we travel to montreal 10-15 times a year.

My teen is planning on going to McGill next year but we are debating on if they should stay at the condo or in residence.

On the plus side they would have their own space. A nice location. No roommate. Access to amazing facilities. And we could frequently visit. Plus we would save that money.

I’m concerned about isolation and making friends during events that different residences hold.

Plus the additional time it would take to grocery shop and cook since it would be an entirely self sufficient experience - no meal plan.

Would love some feedback. Locals at least have an established social network so even if they don’t meet friends in residence or in class they have friends and a network of people.

But we are from Ontario.

Thanks!

I can't seem to figure out a reliable way to see which courses are mostly online or not.

For very convoluted reasons I want to attend McGill next year as soon as possible and at least for one semester do entirely online courses if possible.

It is considerate to your fellow classmates to avoid getting them sick as well.

22y/o guitarist looking for intermediate-advanced, committed musicians to start rock band.

I am a 3rd year undergrad physics student and I enjoy bands like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Cream, The Strokes, The Doors, MBV, Led Zeppelin, etc.

I want to start a rock band that draws inspiration from those bands (and similar ones) and rehearse at least once a week, preferably on weekends.
Looking for drums, bass and keys. I have a space in Verdun that I am converting into a dedicated jam space. The idea is to eventually play bar gigs and write originals.

DM for info and questions!

how hard is the midterm? I’ve attended most lectures and taken notes but i neglected to do any of the readings and am now realizing i am 500 pages behind and the midterm is next wednesday. How screwed am I?

Has anyone gotten their studio laurea photos yet? I know it’s only been a week but i’m getting antsy. (From summer session convoxatoo last monday)

Hi all. I’m graduating with a BA this coming spring from an institution in the U.S. and have started looking into Religion MA/ MDiv programs. I’m curious what the vibe is like at McGill generally, but more specifically what it’s like for graduate students in the School of Religious Studies. Thank you for your time.

hi does anyone who goes to the macdonald campus live near ndg? i feel like a lot of mac students are in residence but ive been trying to find a fast way to commute back home, granted that i live like 40 min away from the downtown campus. i usually take the shuttle to the downtown campus & then metro+bus home

im a really anxious person so i have a lot of anxiety taking the metro and being downtown in general cause theres crazies almost everywhere i go. i also end classes around 2:30 before rush hour so theres barely anyone. is anyone familiar with alternative ways?? unfortunately the exo train comes once in a blue moon so i cant take that💔

I'm doing my application for exchange to McGill, I need to nominate my classes and annoyingly 2 of them are 4 credit classes, so I have 8/12 credit points and need to fill the rest. The other classes will be hard and I would like the supplementary classes to be easy/not a big time commitment.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to avoid taking more than 12, my goal is to have the lightest academic load possible for the exchange so I can enjoy myself. Are there 1 or 2 credit classes? Are there any easy 4 credit classes? Thanks

I've been sick for a few days now, and I couldn't go to the midterm, so I was thinking of taking the makeup exam today, but I'm still not feeling that well, and I'm pretty sure I'm underprepared. The final grade will be 90% of the final exam if I skip the midterm. Do you guys think I should skip it? Also, let's say I start studying early for the final, will I be able to do well?
