<p>When i start Mcgill I'll be in year 1, because of credits.
I've been told that the best thing is to spend the first year in rez, however, that generally means u0.</p>
<p>Most of the people who enter u1 are coming from CEGEP, right? so that means they probably have a home or apartment and wont be in residence either, I guess. (maybe I'm wrong.)</p>
<p>I don't mind off campus housing, but I do want to meet people from the university. What is the best option for me?</p>
<p>Actually, every new admit to the university (U1 or U0) is guaranteed a place in the residence. So if it’s your first year in McGill, you will be given a chance to enroll in a Rez. Also something to note, in the McGill Webinar, the representative stated that a large portion of McGill’s new admits actually start off as U1 so I don’t think that you’ll be the only U1 in your residence. </p>
<p>Most of the students who come from IB, CEGEP, AP, French Bacc etc are given advanced standing so there are plenty of U1 students on campus</p>
