Hey everyone. International student here, Got rejected from UofT, which was my dream school, no idea why because my grades are genuinely near perfect 
I am most likely going to be attending UBC as I’ve been admitted, although I’m still waiting to hear from mcgill (which I’d probably go to over UBC). I think a big part of my wanting to go to toronto was how ‘at home’ i felt as an lgbt person both in the city and when i visited campus.
whats life like for lgbt people at both mcgill and ubc? From what i can gather Mcgill is more open and has more lgbt societies and is montreal more accepting/open than vancouver? Haven’t heard great things about the one pride group i can find in ubc.
thanks
I can’t speak directly about LGBT life or about UBC, but I can say that Montreal is very cosmopolitan. When I toured, I remember seeing at least one gay bar, in addition to scores of nightclubs, bars, restaurants, parks, museums, etc. There appeared to be a lot happening in terms of the arts, a good sign that there is a more liberal attitude in the city. Also, I think generally Canadians are very accepting when it comes to sexuality, more so in such an international city like Montreal. I wouldn’t worry about McGill. You’ll definitely find many other lgbt people both in the college and outside of it.
