Did anyone hear from arts and sciences?
Just got BSc and BEng (chemical) admission letter. I got in! International student, 95% and 8.5 Ielts.
Great job! Engineering is extremely competitive.
DD is in but having a hard time choosing between Life Sciences at Mac vs. Sciences downtown. Also got in to Arts and sciences but more drawn to the first two. Welcome any insight! also considering Queens in Kingston… down to the wire!
My daughter was not impressed by the MacDonald campus when she visited. She seemed to think that it was run down. Downtown Montreal is probably a more interesting place to live for four years, although I am pretty sure that there are buses going back and forth.
I have heard very good things about Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. I would take it very seriously.
In terms of getting a very good education, I would consider Queen’s to be on the same level as McGill, which is a very high level.
Have you had a chance to visit all three campuses?
