I had a friend who went to spain for a semester. He loved it but the experience really has little to do with McGill itself, it more depends on which school you choose. In fact, I believe he went through a program with Syracuse and had to make sure it was OK with McGill. It was, but they didn’t accept any of his credits when he came back. McGill is stingy on things like that. The process to organize it was a pain in the ass for him I remember, took over a year. It all depends on how early you start working on it and talking to people, what program you are in (for some you can’t afford to leave because you have too many required classes that can’t be taught abroad), and where you plan to go.
