<p>Hello everyone. I'm an international student and I'm considering applying to McGill next year, but the problem is that my 18th birthday is in October and uni starts in September. Based on what I read here (Minors</a> (under 18 years of age) | International Student Services - McGill University), I will have to be 18 to be on my own. If not, I will have to send a letter to Dr. Andre Costopoulos about custodianship and stay in the residences. I mean, my birthday is just one month after the start of classes! Will it matter anyway? I don't have any relatives or acquaintances in Montreal, though, and I plan to live off-campus.</p>
<p>Thank you for your replies.</p>
