No, it would not be any more difficult than graduating from a top US college.
Here are a couple threads you may want to read:

I don’t believe that there are any current McGill students on the CC forum.
McGill academics are very rigorous. Psychology is one of the strongest departments and the Montreal Neurological Institute is part of the university.
Where in the US do you now live?
Neither McGill nor NYU offer the “traditional college experience”. Athletics and Greek life are not big on either campus. NYU is a concrete campus. McGill has a real green campus despite being in the middle of downtown Montreal. New York City is of course incredible but to me it is overwhelming. In Montreal you would be in a different cultural milieu where English is a minority language. Montreal is also an incredible city but a much more manageable size.
@TomSrOfBoston I’m from downtown Philly so a big city isn’t new or scary to me. I also have spent plenty of time in NYC and basically have downtown NYC memorized since my sister attends NYU. I don’t doubt that McGill has great academics, but maybe NYU is better? Also, I’d be getting a BA from McGill and a BS from NYU. Maybe something that I should take into consideration if I see myself doing research and POTENTIALLY med school?
The difference between a BA and BS is irrelavant. there is ample opportunity in a BA program to take premed requirements and additional courses in your major.
