<p>Considering that my ultimate goal is to go to Med school, It does seem crucial to pick up French. Even for volunteering at hospitals one is required to speak both Fench and English. If I stay on-campus around the clock that’s fine but when I’m out there It would be disadvantageous not being able to talk to French-speaking people. A friend of mine knows someone who never ventured out off-campus during her first year at Mcgill. If I can’t master this language ASAP I will for sure miss out on a lot of job opportunities as well. sigh…</p>
