"Montreal is such a cool city, and McGill has a great reputation around the world. I visited in mid-April. And it just felt right."

"I chose McGill because it's in town and I heard good things about it. I looked at other schools but they were too expensive. McGill's a good school. Why move?"

"My parents are originally from Montreal. I love it here. It's awesome. It's so much better than the States."
Trinidad
"This is the first time I've been in Montreal. I got here on Saturday. I came because McGill is one of the best schools in the world. And I want to improve my French. In international business it's helpful to have a second language. But I'm scared of winter. I've heard about temperatures of minus 30. That is unbelievable!"
Toronto
"I've always wanted to go to McGill. I was always going to go to either McGill or University of Toronto but I wanted to go away."
Michel Pharand, Arts
Toronto
"I'm from Toronto but I'm French-Canadian and I have family who live here. I wanted to be in a big city but I wanted to get away from home. My parents love saying they have a son who goes to McGill."

"McGill has a good education program. I like the campus. And Ontario universities are too expensive."
Kristiansand, Norway
"I visited Montreal last December and I fell in love with the city. I wanted to go to an English university to study psychology. In Norway I would have to do only psychology courses. Here I can get a wider perspective."
Montreal
"I came to Montreal from Panama seven years ago. Since I came here it has been my dream to come to the best university in Canada. I'm really proud and my parents are too. I'm going into computer science. I plan to be a programmer."
