Correct me if I am wrong, but last year's graduating batch put up resistance and got it overturned. This year, they are offering more tickets, but once again at a cost.

Do with this information what you will...but this will quite literally set a precedent. If you are an international, with a big family, you are looking at upwards of $100 (assuming 1-2 extra tix) for just having guests over, let alone if you're a student that's financially struggling.

Hi everyone,

My major is so fucked lol. Two of the complementary courses for my stream conflict, and the other two aren't offered.... so it's basically a free-for-all where I can choose my own courses. Most of the 500 lvl stats courses aren't offered either!

Does anyone have any thoughts on the following:

MATH 437 Mathematical Methods in Biology

MATH 558 Design of Experiments

MATH 559 Bayesian Theory and Methods

MATH 523 Generalized linear models

BIOL 540 Ecology of Species Invasions

BIOL 551 Principles of Cellular Control

BIOL 416 Genetics of Mammalian Development

Also looking for 400-500 lvl bio or math courses with no final!

Hi everyone! I don't know if this is the right place or if it is weird to post on here, but I am attending McGill in August to study a Master's of Public Health, and honestly, I need some advice! I am kinda confused about how master's programs work at McGill (is it just Sept-May, no summer), are courses like undergrad with 5 courses per semester? I received an email about registering for courses in June, but how do I go about doing that 🤔

I am honestly really nervous and would just love some tips/advice if possible 😄

How does not knowing french affect the internships you can get? Specifically for engineering (mech) undergrad hoping to go into aerospace but also engineering internships in general.

Thanks!

12 credits level 300+ in PSYC, ANAT, BIOL, BIOC, CHEM, COMP, MATH, PHGY, PSYT

Are there any easy ones? I’m running out of interesting psych courses to take 😭

why are we paying taxes for convocation tickets ? and it's also a made up number!

Hey guys! I got into McGill Arts for Philosophy this year, and I was wondering about the difficulty level. I want to go to Law school in the States, and I'm aiming really high, so I'm wondering, will this hurt my GPA? And is there anything else I need to know because I love Philosophy, but I'm kind of worried...

For U1 BA Economics major this fall and I’m coming from CEGEP. I’m really confused about which courses I should take. So far, I know I need: ECON 227, ECON 230

I was wondering:

• How many ECON courses should I take each semester?
• What courses are recommended for first year?
• What minor pairs well with Economics?
• Any easy electives or GPA boosters?

I’d really appreciate any advice from current or former Econ students on how to plan my schedule.

Hi everyone,

I’m a CS student looking to get involved in research for the first time, and I came across Prof. Vybihal’s lab (Prometheus project / robotics / AI).

I was wondering if anyone here has experience working or volunteering in that lab, or in CS research more generally at McGill, and could share what the process is like.

Specifically, I’m curious about:

• how students typically get involved (cold email, interviews, reaching out to grad students, etc.)
• how responsive labs usually are when you contact them
• what the onboarding process looks like for undergrads
• and what the day to day experience is like once you’re in

I’m mainly trying to get a realistic picture of what it’s like starting out in CS research here.

Any insight would be really appreciated!

Hey everyone, as the title suggests I am searching for an extra ticket for the Education faculty convocation on June 1st at 10 AM. I have tickets for my family, but I would really like for my girlfriend to attend as she supported me while I pursued my degree and I attended her convocation last year. Anyway, if any of you can sell me a ticket for the Education convocation on June 1st, please send me a pm!

Edit: Please expect to show proof of purchase or at least proof that you are a graduating McGill student before we agree to any sort of transfer, thank you! I am also willing to take the conversation to instagram so that we can both prove that we are real people.

Edit #2: To clear up some confusion, sharing your McGill email would also count as sufficient proof.

Final Edit: Just wanted to let everyone know that I found a seller and completed the transaction, so no need to message! Thank you to everyone that messaged offering me their ticket, it means a great deal to my family and I <3

I applied and did the interview. Has the final selection been done already ?

Is it still possibly to find an internship for this summer? Has anyone ever did it?
If not, how plausible it is to get a part time position in during a semester?

Have the tutorials for these two classes been mandatory or rly important to attend in the past?

Potentially attending in the fall however I’m wondering about the racial diversity on campus. I’m black and am wondering if I would stand out or have a hard time at McGill. Also wondering about a POC experience at the school and how friendly it is.

Hi everyone! I am about to sign a lease at Le Sommet (3475 de la Montagne) and would love to hear your opinions about it. Does anyone live there now, or has anyone lived there in the past? Thanks a lot!

Hey, I'm thinking of law school. Is it difficult? Can you study part-time? Do you get online classes? What work can you do later?

Genuine question here hehe.

hi, i was wondering if anyone ever heard of stories or has some themselves of being from a psychology background (bachelor of arts) and going into some sort of masters related to marketing? i was hoping to steer my career towards that, or also consumer psychology, etc. Also, my question isn't limited to mcgill alone, if you have testimonials from other schools its appreciated too!

thanks in advance!

I’ve been trying to find a place outside my home with reliable Wi-Fi where I can study/work for long periods. I was considering coworking spaces, libraries, or cafés, but I’m curious what people here actually use and whether coworking memberships are worth it.

Would love to hear what works for others in Montreal.
