<p>I was sent info on Mcgill for S's admission. It seems so vague and complicated to me. S is an international student, and will go in art stream ( economics). How do I find out how much do I need to pay?</p>

<p>They have given a range :</p>

<p>Tuition fees* ( based on 30 credits) $14,462-24840
Mandatory health insurance: $600
Immigration fees: $225
Ancillary fees ( some programs have higher complusory fees): $1600
Books and supplies: $1200
Lodging on campus $9500-13600
Other expenses: $ 2000
Total: $27287-$44,065</p>

<p>Please, help me understand this. I know it looks fairly staright forward here, but hwat I dont understand :</p>

<ol>
<li>What does ancillary fees stand for?</li>
<li>Will my S has to pay this?</li>
<li>Do I have to pay anything else apart from this?</li>
</ol>

<p>Also, how good is the aid scene in Mcgill? I have sent in the papers, but I am told by frineds not to bank on it because it is really not an aid- giving school.</p>

<p>Pls help.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

Your student would be in the Faculty of Arts. </p>

<p>Scholarships for international students are limited and I believe the notifications have already gone out. If you are American, Stafford and Plus loans can be used at McGill. </p>

<p>Just like Canadians get screwed over in aid in American decisions, Americans will also get screwed over in aid in Canadian decisions. </p>

<p>Good luck paying for all that, although I wouldn’t get residence. It’s alot cheaper to rent out a studio apartment for 400-500 a month.</p>
