Well from these forums I’ve heard that its near-impossible, at least in some of the faculties, to successfully compete for a good GPA. So: is this true for Arts? I’ve heard McGill is underfunded, but I’ve also heard that its the best funded in Canada. I’ve heard its got huge class sizes, but I’ve also heard that its no more so in that respect than the prestigious American public universities like Michigan or Wisconsin. I’ve heard its got a great social scene but I’ve also read that it can be cliquey and difficult to find a scene because of all the commuters and native Quebecois. Etc

Basically, I saw another thread that turned into a huge battle over the merits of the school, and a lot of other people getting upset that that’s what the thread turned into. But as a prospective student, I found it worthwhile to read, so I thought I’d try and start a place for it.
