<p>The usual thing to say is that you can’t get any better international experience than Mcgill, but I also checked Pittsburgh and it seems they have a quite respectable Center for International Studies (more so the East Asian department though).</p>
<p>I’m sure your visit to Montreal will make things extremely easier ;)</p>
