LoL Also scholarship students get first pick for residences so many end up at La Cit. C4 is the most friendly residence out of all the Hotel residences. Also in C4 there are rooms within a room so you have a room with a door inside the main room so your separate from your roommate.
i’m currently in Solin and can 100% relate to not having the best time since my roommate and i aren’t that similar. also the MORE houses and Solin have 11 month leases
Hey I’m super late but I’m a freshman at McGill now and I highly recommend upper rez. I’m at C4 right now and everyone here is stuck up and quite. I’m transferring tmr to Douglas... hopefully people will be more social
I just randomly found your channel and it made me miss Montreal so much 😭 I lived there for three years and I would love to go back. I’ll satisfy my need by subscribing and following your adventures 😊
Great video! I was wondering whether you would recommend the "more houses" option to a first year. It looks nice but 15 in a house sounds wild. I kinda want a degree.
Would it be better to live in an apartment rather than one of the hotel like residences? I want my own bathroom, so it seems like the hotels are the only option, however the whole reason I want to live on residence is so that I will meet people :/
tbh shared bathrooms are not as bad as one first imagines if you really want the social aspect of it, living off campus will def make it harder to create meaningful bonds with people at uni
Thanks for the vid twas very helpful ;) just a question, when do u advice filling out the residence application for next year ? I mean, are there rooms for everyone, or do we have to sign in very quickly
Hi! Thank you so much for this video because it was very helpful. I'm still torn between upper rez and new rez, and maybe you can give me some advice? I'm a very outgoing and social person so the idea of upper rez appeals to me because of its strong community. I'm also American so I guess that's where most of us stay lol. The only thing is that I really love the idea of a double in new rez where I only share the bathroom with one person and the rooms look much nicer. I was reading some of the comments on reddit and they talked about how people in new rez are very snobby, which I don't want to be around at all. I'm really looking for a community who likes to get their work done and party hard after. I'm also a science major so idk where the buildings for that are around. I know I'll be able to find friends and get involved in whichever dorm I'm in, but are people in new rez more isolated in like social events than upper rez. Haha idkkkk I'm so conflicted. What would you suggest.
Adelyn Moore hey, I’m a current resident at McGill. I’m not in either of those residences but I have a lot of friends living in both! I can’t say that the people I know in New Rez are snobby but I’ve noticed that most of them don’t really know a lot of other people in their rez. However, for studying and partying, I feel like that would be the place because you can still study in rez without being distracted but people will definitely go out with you. The people I know in Upper Rez find that it’s hard to study in rez sometimes because there’s always something going on, it really is the party scene so it depends if you want to have some peace when you’re in rez I guess!
Can anyone tell me something about evo Old Montrea?Is that for students to live? I will go to Mcgill for 3 weeks this year but there are so many things I don't know. TT
Thank you for this! One question though, how do you and your friends feel about the walk up and down the hill to upper rez especially during the winter? I’m filling out my housing form in the next week or so and I wanted to ask someone in upper Rez.
hey i was just wondering how the coed bathrooms are in upper res. like how could you describe sharing a bathroom with that many people and if there are any problems
Hi! personally, I became good friends with the people on my floor, so sharing the bathrroms with boys was what i imagine is most similar to sharing with your siblings:) also, i honestly rarely used the bathroom with more than one other person there since everyone showers and stuff at different times
I was watching the video to try and get a feel for what the residences at McGill are like since it's my dream school. The video was SUPER helpful! So thank you! However, I was wondering whether you have much say in which room you get in a residence? Do you just get whatever you're stuck with or can you request a certain room in the residence?
Thank You for this really awesome video!!! I was wondering if you can raise any of the beds in McGill dorms Many university dorms have beds that can be raised to create storage under the bed Can you raise any of the beds at McGill? And if you can, how high can it go?
For the rez's that have doubles and singles - can you choose whether you have a roommate or not? I really would love to have a room to myself but I think I want to be in one of the hotel residences.
you can rank it higher on your order but theres no guarantee. Id say put the hotel single rankings really high then the doubles really low to better your chances
john paul The hill is really steep. Not the lower part of it, mostly the part after the intersection at Pins and University. If you feel like you can slowly take a steep hill, it shouldn’t be too bad. But if hills cause you a lot of pain, I would definitely avoid upper res.
When you know your residence and if you are in a single or double room, can you choose your room or do you get randomly put in a room? Because I've read on the mcgill website that not all the rooms are the same size and the view you get varies too. Thanks a lot for the video :)
Hahaha! Yeah no talk about Macdonald Campus. Mac campus has two residences: Laird Hall and Eco Residence. Laird Hall is in the form of a dormitory and Eco Residence is in the form of a shared house. Laird is cheaper than Eco - Both are located on the beautiful, St Anne de Bellevue.
Hi everyone, Is there anyone here that lives in McGill's studios of Greenbriar or Hutchison? If yes, I would be grateful to know that what household appliances the studio had in the time of their arrival. Besides, what should I bring with myself. Thanks in advance.
omg i literally wrote the reddit comment y'all are quoting from lmao, i def just doxxed myself but whatever
You don't understand how much of an inspiration you are so sweeeeet and your squad is so relatable
I got accepted two weeks ago and I’m so excited for the fall:)
LoL Also scholarship students get first pick for residences so many end up at La Cit. C4 is the most friendly residence out of all the Hotel residences. Also in C4 there are rooms within a room so you have a room with a door inside the main room so your separate from your roommate.
I just got into Mcgill and i m so excited thanks for the video tho!!!!! So helpful❤️
Me too girl
Hello, are you a student at McGill University, can I contact you, do you have Instagram?
i’m currently in Solin and can 100% relate to not having the best time since my roommate and i aren’t that similar. also the MORE houses and Solin have 11 month leases
You should do a McGill Q and A!
THANK YOU! Big help I'm filling out my rez application right now!
Hey I’m super late but I’m a freshman at McGill now and I highly recommend upper rez. I’m at C4 right now and everyone here is stuck up and quite. I’m transferring tmr to Douglas... hopefully people will be more social
How is it now? :)
thank you for this i had no idea what the differences were and this really helped me decide which to choose
I just randomly found your channel and it made me miss Montreal so much 😭 I lived there for three years and I would love to go back. I’ll satisfy my need by subscribing and following your adventures 😊
Great video! I was wondering whether you would recommend the "more houses" option to a first year. It looks nice but 15 in a house sounds wild. I kinda want a degree.
Devin Pereira it’s not wild it’s pretty chill

tbh shared bathrooms are not as bad as one first imagines if you really want the social aspect of it, living off campus will def make it harder to create meaningful bonds with people at uni
i feel that c4 and la cit have very different vibes and i feel like they shouldn’t necessarily be lumped together lmao
probably true! unfortunately i don't really know how they differ socially :(
Thanks for the vid twas very helpful ;) just a question, when do u advice filling out the residence application for next year ? I mean, are there rooms for everyone, or do we have to sign in very quickly
Gabrielle I I’d do it asap! Some people got placed in overflow housing this year.
You read my comment! Thank you so much, it is very helpfull :)
Thanks for the info! All the videos on McGill's official channel are 4 or 5 years old, not very informative.
what did you choose?

Kemal Naqvi we don’t mind the walk! It’s not too bad even when it’s pretty snowy

Skye you just get put in the rooms! You can sometimes switch rooms if there is an opening, but most people just stay!
Thanks for reaching out. I never knew Montreal.
ughhhhh you need more subscribers😫💗
Shoot, wish I saw this earlier
Thank you! I just got accepted and this was very insightful
Congratulations!!! What was the process of applying to McGill?
the guy looks like joey kidney 🤷🏽♀️
are these applicable for the graduate programs there too? I'm considering coming for my M Arch as an international student. Any tips?
You should consider using a mic! Good video though
I know that mcgill works by lottery assignment but would you say that a lot of people get their first choice for rez?
Charlotte Girard yeah most people
So are basically all residences single rooms?
I GOT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing I never considered it at all.
When do you find out what res you got? Also if I got in with a 97 average does that give me more say in which res I get?
Tristan Obrien juneish I think!
Alena McKenzie and after I apply for res do I find out shortly after which one I got or do I not find out until the end of August?
Thank You for this really awesome video!!!
I was wondering if you can raise any of the beds in McGill dorms
Many university dorms have beds that can be raised to create storage under the bed
Can you raise any of the beds at McGill? And if you can, how high can it go?
I raised mine with some bricks I found hahahahahahah
😂😂 thx
Can you please tell how much your monthly food expenses are now when you live in apartments
For the rez's that have doubles and singles - can you choose whether you have a roommate or not? I really would love to have a room to myself but I think I want to be in one of the hotel residences.
you can rank it higher on your order but theres no guarantee. Id say put the hotel single rankings really high then the doubles really low to better your chances
Hey, I just had a leg surgery and I wanna go to Upper Rez. Is the hill really steep? I’m scared it’s gonna be a problem.
john paul The hill is really steep. Not the lower part of it, mostly the part after the intersection at Pins and University. If you feel like you can slowly take a steep hill, it shouldn’t be too bad. But if hills cause you a lot of pain, I would definitely avoid upper res.
When you know your residence and if you are in a single or double room, can you choose your room or do you get randomly put in a room? Because I've read on the mcgill website that not all the rooms are the same size and the view you get varies too. Thanks a lot for the video :)
you dont get to pick your room, no
What about macdonald campus
Hahaha! Yeah no talk about Macdonald Campus. Mac campus has two residences: Laird Hall and Eco Residence. Laird Hall is in the form of a dormitory and Eco Residence is in the form of a shared house. Laird is cheaper than Eco - Both are located on the beautiful, St Anne de Bellevue.
this was so helpful thank you
Are there any upper rez/douglas rooms up for summer sublet that you know about?
Agnibha Banerjee none of the rooms are available for summer sublet
@@AlenaMcKenzie okay. Thanks anyway
And McDonald campus?
Hi everyone,
Is there anyone here that lives in McGill's studios of Greenbriar or Hutchison? If yes, I would be grateful to know that what household appliances the studio had in the time of their arrival. Besides, what should I bring with myself.
Thanks in advance.
how do you apply to the more houses
Any info about graduate residence?
Where’s your vlog on that trip to the beach u made... and u said u were gonna upload soon....!

Big things coming soon‼️
Im a freshman this year and I'm hoping that despite everything, residence life isn't too bleak. Got La Cit, my last choice lmao
Hello, can I communicate with you? I would like to inquire about studying at McGill University, I would be grateful.
Uni Hall is so not up to modern accommodation standards. Do not move in there!
Grey Nuns squad here?
