Hello!
I’ve decided to go into McGill arts, thinking of International Development or Economics and am now very excited about my decision. It’s financially the best one for me :)

I am confused about the residences. Here are things to consider:

a) I am not a party person at all. And I happen to be a teetotalist, as in I do not drink.
b) I am very chirpy though and very excited about the diversity at McGill. I am looking forward to making life long friendships!
c) The idea of centralized bathrooms is a bit creepy. I’d like one bathroom, preferably shared with not more than 2 people.
d) Preferably on the meal plan but it would be nice to cook once in a while.
e) Freshman year I’ve heard is very difficult, so a bit of quiet would be encouraging.
f) I am very politically motivated- signing petitions and protests kind of person. I would love to get involved wherever I can. I love political or world issues debates!

So far Royal Victoria college (centralized bathrooms though), Greenbriar apartments and la citadelle has caught my eye.

What would you suggest? Also would you happen to know which majors in the faculty of art have the smallest classes? so far I’ve heard they are all massive!

THANK YOU <3
