<p>For Americans interested in McGill, the tuition for undergrads is about $15,420 (scheduled to rise by as much as 5% this summer, so $16,191 max.), $2256 in mandatory fees, most popular meal plan for kids living in dorm $4050 and campus housing ranging from $5300-$6800. That adds up to a grand total of $26750 min. to $29597 max. I believe that the top merit award for American undergrads is $5000. Most American students probably choose to live on campus the first year and then off campus after that. Housing off campus is very cheap compared to Boston or New York. The Schulich School of Music is a terrific school in a terrific city. My S is going elsewhere, but it was definitely in the running. All prices Canadian, but the American and Canadian currencies are just about even now.</p>
