Concerning Students and future students: McGill Daily 3/16/09

Colleges and Universities A-Z McGill University

<p>The new McGill Daily just detailed new tuition hikes, some of them incredibly steep.</p>

<p>If you are going into management, science, or engineering you might want to consider this.
Management Tuition for 08-09 year is 16,200. Next year it will be 23,000.
Science and eng is currently 16650, rising to 20,000 for the 09-10 school year.</p>

<p>And they are going to keep rising in the years to come. At least it is detailed in the Daily that management will hit around 25000 by 2010-2011 year, eng and sci close to 22000.</p>

<p>Arts and music are going to increase for the 2010-2011 year, though not this coming year. Not to mention those tuition hikes are really minimal (looks around 500-800). </p>

<p>Just be warned. Tuition is rising a lot here, so if you are from the US, McGill might not be the best deal anymore.</p>

<p>I think this is fair though. Most international students come from well heeled families and don’t intend on working in Quebec post graduation.</p>

<p>I’m not sure “most” international students wont be affected by the tuition hikes. I am planning to go to McGill, and its relatively low price has been a big factor for me. I would agree, however, that their charging more for international tuition is fair and probably a good thing for the school. Just makes me glad to be in arts.</p>

<p>This is why I will not get to go to McGill… </p>

<p>I was prepared to pick it over Cornell as McGill has been my dream school for a couple years but with the rising costs it’s just not worth it anymore since my parents can’t afford it.</p>

<p>Saaaame here, ZFanatic.</p>

<p>haha, doesnt bother me either…go arts!</p>

<p>But seriously they should raise Quebec tuition 2. Of course Quebec would never allow that, and therefore McGill will never be as good as it potentially could be, sadly. Plus all those stupid severance packages and ridiculous high-paid random jobs keep being complained about in the daily (rightly so though, imo).</p>

<p>Wutang, ever get around to Dieu du ciel?</p>

7

<p>Have to seriously rethink a school that would do that - raise tuition so much in one year - even being an arts student who it doesn’t seem to affect - at the moment anyway… Gives me pause.</p>

8

<p>so the tuiton for domestic students are not raised right?</p>

9

<p>not if you pay quebec tuition. I know they raised other canadian resident’s tuition this year, but I’m not sure about anymore plans for that.</p>

<p>I hate how McGill is so anti-out-of-province -_-</p>

I wouldn’t chastise the university for this. Tuition rates were just deregulated last fall, so this is McGill’s first chance to charge what they feel is the fair share (quite frankly, science degrees cost more), and I predict that after three or four years of 8% increases, the situation will normalize.</p>
