<p>This is not highly informational in terms of the specific info you seek, but a general endorsement for consideration IMHO, depending on your son’s likes/dislikes. McGill itself is awesome, especially in terms of comparative value if that is germane. Montreal has a great jazz scene (I lived there a long time ago and still have working musician friends there). Yes, it is very cold. Next to Vancouver, it is one of my favorite cities nonetheless.
Schulich is very well regarded – pretty much up there in top 3 for Canada at least in terms of music grad programs (U of Toronto, U. British Columbia). My s. would have considered attending there, possibly instead of U of Michigan, for music technology had they not obliterated the undergrad degree last year – still one of the strongest grad programs in his field. (He also plays jazz.) His department head from University of Michigan SOM / PAT is a graduate of McGill, as are many top notch profs. Lots to love. That said, I’d expect a much more metro kind of experience compared with Oberlin.</p>
