Advantages of studying at McGill University
1. Academic advantages
As the best university in Canada in all senses, McGill University has no doubt about its academic ability, especially in medicine, law and management.

McGill's reputation in the Canadian medical field is no less than that of the top medical schools in the United States, especially neurosurgery. In these professional fields, McGill University has gathered elites from all over the world. Moreover, McGill University has spared no effort to build the osler Library, which is the largest case library and the most comprehensive medical library in the world.
McGill Law School is the pillar of Canadian law, and its graduates can not only enter the Bar Association unimpeded, but also have the opportunity to enter Quebec and even the Canadian legislature.

Unfortunately, these two majors in McGill University are not open to international students, and the prerequisite for entering these two majors is a maple leaf card. However, although you can't enter medicine and law, McGill University doesn't mind students from other majors coming to cut class if you are interested in such subjects.
Compared with most young comprehensive universities in Canada, including the University of Toronto and UBC University, McGill University attaches more importance to research than employment. Schools always give people a feeling of "high cold" and never take the initiative to create internship opportunities for students like the University of Toronto. However, McGill University is extremely generous in the laboratory, and the annual research funding is amazing, and it will try to find some cutting-edge equipment for the laboratory. Perhaps because of this, McGill University never said "showing off wealth". After all, the price in Montreal is low, the tuition is cheap, and most of the students are rich second generation. The sense of accomplishment brought by showing off wealth is not as good as solving a project.
The friendliest thing for international students in China is that McGill University can accept applications without college entrance examination results, and the threshold is relatively low. However, for international students who want to return to China for development, McGill's diploma is not as famous as Toronto, UBC and Waterloo. But if you want to develop in North America and Europe, McGill's diploma can get a lot of attention.
2. Environmental advantages
Mcgill University is located in Montreal, the largest city in Quebec. As a French-speaking area in Canada, Quebec has unique advantages in language and culture. And unlike other universities in Quebec, McGill University uses English and French as its common languages, which not only does not affect the language, but also provides a good environment for learning French.

Thanks to this cultural integration, students of "third culture" can always be seen in McGill. It is likely that an ordinary classmate will find out that he was born in France and grew up in China. So McGill's definition of a country is vague and there is no racial discrimination. This university blends cultures from all over the world.
Compared with the bustling but chaotic Toronto and Vancouver full of Asians, Montreal is an art city built by the French. On the first Sunday of every month, all museums are open for free, including the Art Museum where Picasso's works are displayed. Music festivals are held almost every day in summer, and murals created by world-class masters can be seen everywhere.

Most importantly, the city of Montreal is extremely suitable for academic work. Montreal natives like reading very much. In large and small libraries and cafes, people who listen to music and read physical books can always be seen. Not only students, office workers and entrepreneurs, but also ordinary workers will continue reading regularly and systematically. It is also because of this atmosphere that the law and order in Montreal is the highest in Canada. Looking at the news in Canada, we can see that Toronto is a mess, but Montreal is never a mess, and the crime rate is incredibly low.
But in winter, Montreal is as cold as Toronto. The temperature is below zero for a long time, and roads are built at both ends in three days. It is extremely inconvenient to go out by car or bike. However, Montreal's public transport facilities are very complete, and public transport is not only low in cost but also wide in coverage.

Generally speaking, McGill is a Canadian university that is very suitable for international students who like reading and are good at reading. There may be many objective defects, but here, foreign students can feel the cultures from all over the world, smoothly integrate into the lifestyles and concepts of North America and Europe, and make contributions to cutting-edge academic research.
