The cost, as well as the opportunity to get away from my hometown. Plus, my college was recommended to me by many of my mentors and peers. I was also particularly interested in double majoring in econ and compsci, and I heard both programs here were pretty good. Most of the other colleges I got into were engineering focused or forced me to choose one or the other.
Course Curriculum :
It's pretty good. I'm in the arts program so theres alot if options to choose from that I'm pretty happy with. The only complaint I do have is the lack of visual arts programs at McGill, and how calculus is not a requirement for an economics major, which is strange.
Exams :
as well as the international baccalaureate program in high school. I didn't take any placement exams in university.
Fees :
I'm not really sure, I'm on an entrance bursary so I really only pay for books and board. Uh, from what I know there are several opt out fees in our tuiton
Examination Structure :
Hella stressful. Everything is kinda packed since the semesters are short. I wouldn't mind longer semesters if everything would be more spaced out. Also, exams that are 70% of your entire grade are kinda crazy.
Faculty :
So far, I've enjoyed most of my professors. The only exception are those teaching intro level mates courses. I find that they are much harder to follow.
