I do go to McGill (this Fall is my last year) and I’m originally from Boston. I actually haven’t looked at the McGill site, I usually go straight to Craigslist Montreal and look up places. Furnished places aren’t hard to come across (there are some really nice places such as 515 St. Catherine) but they are definitely more expensive-an unfurnished place can start at $500 but a furnished usually starts at $900-unless you can find a person who will sublet for the year and is leaving their furniture behind-then it could be cheaper than $900. Also, the price may be cheaper depending on where you want to live. If you live closer to campus it may be more expensive or if you live in nicer areas (Drummond, Concordia area) it will be more expensive. But there are definitely some fair-priced apartments near school (unfurnished) around $500. It’s all up to you!
