<p>not 4, only the first.</p>
<p>Sorry, Whats bcomm?</p>
<p>bachelor of commerce (business). I think anyone who is and undergrad in the faculty of management gets a bcom.</p>
<p>not exactly. Odds are highly in your favor that you’ll be put into one of your top five options for residence. And your options look something like</p>
<ol>
<li>New Rez single</li>
<li>RVC Single</li>
<li>New Rez Double</li>
<li>Douglas Double</li>
<li>Douglas Single</li>
</ol>
<p>or whatever. And then you can apply for room transfer if you want after a couple of weeks in your residence, and you’re pretty likely to get a spot unless you’re asking for like a New Rez single or something. </p>
<p>The only residence that’s extremely competitive is new rez. all the others you have a very good chance of getting placed into if you want.</p>
<p>I am doing Bcomm</p>
<p>hey people…i am about 80% sure of comming to mcgill </p>
<p>u can add me to list if u like…but i will be class of 2008 (since i am doing the IB, thus enter as U1)</p>
<p>i am doing the BComm too</p>
<p>moi aussi! So that’s 5 of us so far? 4?</p>
<p>I just got my acceptance today!! 
yay!</p>
<p>congratulations!!! :D:D:D</p>
<p>bittersweet, just a word on the french: you’d never say “Moi aussi”, you’d abbreviate it to “m’aussi!” ;)</p>
<p>yea there’s a lot of stuff I have to pick up once I get there that they don’t teach you in French class. Like j’sais pas instead of je ne sais pas. I think that’s why I couldn’t understand some people when I was there, lol.</p>
<p>that m’aussi thing must be quebec french…caz i been living in geneva for 5 years and never seen it written like that</p>
<p>Here’s a link to the McGill 09 group on myspace…for all of you addicted to myspace as well :D</p>

<p>haha quebec french is odd like that. A lot of weird contractions and such. It’s very interesting.</p>
<p>examples:
m’aussi instead of “moi aussi”
p’tit istead of petit
it is prounced like it is in english, sort of an eh sound on the i
ben instead of bien
…</p>
<p>the list goes on and on :)</p>
<p>ah, the wonders of knowing french, if only.</p>
<p>I must learn when I come to montreal.</p>
<p>Shouldn’t be that hard, I am almost fluent in spanish.
Sould be fun, knowing 3 languages, if I can get all the french I can.</p>
<p>i have no clue of french, i hope that wont matter…i’ll hopefully learn it when i get there…</p>
<p>or should i take a french course from here, before coming?</p>
<p>I’m about 90% sure I’m going, so count me in.</p>
<p>unless you really want to, I’ve been told that you neither need to learn french before you come nor while you’re there. Our tour guide (student from Boston) spoke not a word of French when she came and after four years still doesn’t speak French. I’m sure she picked something up though. So I don’t think you guys need to panic about French, but it’s always good to know a couple languages.</p>
<p>French doesn’t really matter. I speak french pretty well and still use english 90% of the time when I go shopping and stuff. Everyone in this area is bilingual, so it’s no big deal if the students only speak english. I have several friends who don’t speak a word of french, and they get along just fine.</p>
<p>Of course, there’s a lot of very cool cultural stuff that’s french, so you get more out of the experience if you know some french 
But montreal is an amazing city no matter what.</p>
<p>Panic, no way. I look forward to picking up as much as I can</p>
