Facilities at McGill University

A

All but Some Residences Are Great

Many of the buildings are old, some beautiful and some one can clearly tell were built in the 70's with the time period's atrocious architecture.

I would say depending on what you're majoring in class size varies significantly, but for the most part the classrooms have everything needed to learn.

The Gym facilities are pretty good and interesting classes are offered to lose weight/muscle up

The food quality is not that great....it really depends on where you go

Residences for first years vary. I would say the residences known as Upper Rez and Douglass are probably the best. The newest hotel ones are pretty bad. Even though more student can fit into these it's very hard to develop a close community feeling like are often formed in the upper residences. I would say living in one of the hotel residences last year as a first year was one of my only disappointments with McGill.

Drug Safety at McGill University

A+

Alcohol Is Legal Since Mcgill Is in Canada

There doesn't seem to be an apparent drug problem, and although drinking is visible it doesnt seem to even be brought on by peer pressure.

In Montreal the legal drinking age is 18 so we're allowed to do it and so even though many of us drink we rarely have problems of abusing it and ending up vomiting in the toilet or sick at the hospital. We just pre-game before going to clubs...so just enough to have a good time.

Campus Strictness at McGill University

A-

Mcgill Cannot Afford to Be Strict Its Too Big

McGill isn't a very strict school in general. It has more of a "figure it out own your own policy." I think it's too big to really worry about strictly controlling its students. On the other hand if you do get into trouble with the authorities you know that you must have done something pretty bad.
