There are always so many events happening around McGill University that it’s near impossible for students to claim they’re bored out of their minds. I’m pretty sure most (if not all) students in Montreal, along with other sources such as the BBC News, would agree with the fact that it’s the best student city in the world. So, without further adieu, here are 15 pictures of McGill University you’ll definitely be obsessed with!
Hurrying to class is a pain, but when you get to enjoy this view, it makes it all the more worth it.
Walking to class on the slippery snow and wiping out can be painful. But you forget about all your physical and mental pain when you look up and realize the beauty of winter.
The Redpath Museum displays natural historical exhibits and hosts a number of events throughout the year. Even if you’re not a natural history fanatic, it’s still worth it to go and visit!
The perfect way to meet people is definitely by joining clubs and sports teams that interest you. There is never a shortage of opportunities at McGill!
One of McGill’s most appealing events is Frosh. During the week before classes begin, students are given the option to join a bunch of social activities that occur over a few days. One of my favourite events during Frosh was boat day!
Beach day is yet another one of the many events during Frosh AND another one of my favourite events.
OAP is located on campus and provides entertainment to all those who enter. It’s the perfect way to pass time in between classes or to just meet up with friends after a long and tiring day of studying. However, keep in mind that it only opens for the first and last few weeks of the academic year!
Not only does McGill have an open air pub, but another bar as well. If you’re planning on attending McGill, definitely hit this place up and order a pitcher of sangria for you and your friends. And no need to worry, Gerts IS open during the whole academic year.
Many students overwhelm themselves with work and tests, so it’s such a breather to have the option to play with therapy dogs on campus. The Peer Support Centre also offers many other methods of dealing with stress!
After living in one of the many McGill residences during your freshman year, it’s exciting to search for apartments with your friends or by yourself. One surefire way to surround yourself with fellow McGill students is to live in the McGill Ghetto. It may not be the most convenient of places due to the rowdiness of the area, but it’ll definitely complete your university experience!
There are so many talented artists in Montreal that share their art in the form of murals all around the city. So if you’re planning on attending McGill, then it is an absolute MUST that you include hunting for murals on your to-do list.
Not a day has gone by where I haven’t seen a Facebook post about a samosa sale happening somewhere around McGill. If you haven’t tasted a McGill samosa then you have not lived.
If you’re tired of studying in your room, then just head to one of McGill’s many libraries and surround yourself with other people tired from studying rather than doing it alone. Oh, and don’t forget to enjoy the aesthetic features of the various libraries!
Being part of a sorority/fraternity is the perfect chance to create meaningful friendships and becoming involved in McGill’s community!
There’s no doubt that McGill is considered one of Canada’s top party universities. Just hearing about the many clubs and bars that surround the campus is already enough to gain some insight as to how vibrant the party life is.
