It doesn’t happen too often, but it can go as low as -35C in the area. It is always a little warmer in Montreal because of the river. What amazed me is how Montrealers dress stylishly even at those winter temperatures (while I was puffed out with multiple layers). Students still wear jeans and T-shirts, but perhaps a bit less slovenly than is typical on other campuses. McGill has a beautiful campus and the location is in the heart of the city. The nearby old city is exceptionally charming and walkable from campus.

You’ll become as intrepid as a Canadian in no time. Great skiing/snowboarding is nearby too - Mt Tremblant, etc is only about 90 min away. Make sure you experience the great winter sports that Canada has to offer- skating, curling (!), hockey etc… Don’t forget to get a set of ice trekkers (cleats for your boots or shoes), ice storms are very common.
