<pre><code>" memake, there are several parents of McGill kids here on CC. Has he enjoyed his time in Montreal? "

<p>Thank you for asking! He’s had a great time, and has enjoyed both the city and the school very much.
" “going to the Dep” must be a Montreal thing, I’ve never heard of it. Care to share what it means? "</p>
<p>Dep is short for depanneur, which is what they call corner package stores (to be fair, they also seem to stock 7/11-type items). One of my regrets is that he has really learned just about no French at all while spending four years in Montreal!</p>
