Thanks ! (Now I know why I'm "2" )

I hope your son takes a look at the school.

McGill is wonderful. They are as nice and helpful as can be. Its interesting the Canadian schools like McGill and UToronto not as known in the US even though Schulich is on equal footing with the top US music schools. Several from the Montreal Symphony teach there and the new building is cutting edge.

We have vacationed in Montreal from time to time so my son had always dreamed of going there.

Montreal is a great city, easy to get around, and very friendly. Its also fairly safe. The end of June start the Jazz Festival (we've been twice). All the major international acts come and perform . Some venues are free and some get pricey, depends on the act. Lots of food, lots of fun. There is always something going on in Montreal year round.
