<p>Anyone have an opinion? Business focus for my D. Georgetown will cost $40,000/year after aid. Astounding. McGill bound to be less... Opinions?</p>
<p>Info about McGill from another thread:</p>
<p>McGill is a large public university in one of the coolest – in both senses of the word – cities in the hemisphere. People can have very different experiences there. My daughter’s BFF went there – choosing it over two Ivy acceptances to save money – and had a nearly-perfect experience, one that culminated in acceptances to two of the top PhD programs in her field. She loved her classes, loved Montreal, loved everything about it. Other people I know have found it cold (in the third sense of “cool”) and bureaucratic (it is), and had trouble dealing with the massive, impersonal introductory classes and the sometimes-checked-out classmates. There are world-class professors there, but unlike the professors at Wesleyan they aren’t going to reach out to you; you have to go to them. In other words, it’s a large public university, and you have to take responsibility for getting the best out of it and avoiding the worst. It will help if you like French (although many people go through McGill without learning more than a few phrases) and you want to live in a very European city. Also, if you appreciate a place where the drinking age is 18. And you are willing to negotiate cross-border issues. And it’s not going to depress you that lots of people you know don’t recognize McGill as a world-famous university, which it is.</p>
