<p>Okay so i go to Mcgill, but i just went over to visit my friend at Tufts just last month.</p>
<p>I honestly have to say that i wish i went to tufts. The campus is just soo much nicer. At tufts you have so much grassy area, with great brick or wood buildings. (It’s quiet here…@ mcgill there’s always a firetruck or police car siren going off).
There is less people so that’s always nice. The biggest class i sat in on (a chem class) was the size of my smallest class here (-_-lll).
The FOOD is amazing. At tufts you have an unlimited meal plan (take as much as you want whenever you want) and their choices are beyond what you can get at Mcgill…(seriously the food here sucks, and is expensive. i don’t know anyone who would disagree).
At tufts you can live on residence for all 4 years if you want. But there are houses which surround the campus which is also nice.</p>
<p>***ELECTIVES:…Tufts is the better choice really. They have an Experimental college which has very cool electives. eg. Espionage: Theory and Practice ; The World Cup: Soccer, Politics, History; Drawing for the Rest of Us; An Introduction to Magic: Performance and Technique
(at mcgill you get electives like… Chemistry: the environment. Psych 101. Bio 111. Just regular classes)</p>
<p>Plus Tufts = Boston. So concerts (if you’re a music person). Enough said. </p>
<p>McGill:
CAMPUS: Here at Mcgill the campus is…scattered would be the word that comes to mind. Residences and buildings are all over the place. There’s no clear boundary between the campus and the city. </p>
<p>CLASSES: If you’re a science student, for the first 2 years your classes will be in this auditorium that sits 1000 students. You’ll most likely never sit next to the same person twice (not including friends you make)</p>
<p>RESIDENCE: Residences here are for freshmen. There is NO 4 year housing. Though you can live on rez if you wanted to (limited space) …but you’ll be living with freshmen</p>
<p>SOCIAL: events here are mostly drinking based. No joke all the charity events or just normal events i’ve been invited to all included the word “alcohol” or “clubbing” in the title…like Charity event for Haiti @ Club 737…(it’s just stupid). </p>
<p>LANGUAGE: Also another problem here is trying to get a job or even volunteer. You have to speak french. that’s the problem. i’m an international student and wanted to intern for a mcgill professor based research and i apparently didn’t qualify because i didn’t speak french. If you don’t speak french, it really limits you here. </p>
<p>If you want a community feel it’s tufts. If you want to be very independent, it’s Mcgill. </p>
<p>All in all, i would say that [even though i go to Mcgill…] Tufts is the (obvious) better choice.</p>
