Logistical Questions about McGill

Hi…my daughter is a US student accepted to McGill…just trying to determine some logistics

Is there anything different about moving into a McGill residence hall than moving onto any other US campus? Older daughter went to Maryland so that’s all I have to compare with. Anything to look out for?

At the end of the freshman year are there any storage companies that come on campus so I can store my daughter’s stuff in Montreal over the summer?

It seems that most students move off campus after their first year…do they just move into their off-campus apartment when their freshman year ends?

This could be a silly question…if the students go to off-campus apartments is there any issue just renewing the same lease each year if the location and building are fine?

Banking-wise…are there any US banks that have a presence in Montreal…could I fund my daughter’s account directly without sending a check that needs to be cashed and cleared at a Canadian bank?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
