McGill University is one of Canada's best-known institutions of higher learning and one of the leading universities in the world. With students coming to McGill from some 150 countries, our student body is the most internationally diverse of any research-intensive university in the country.
McGill is recognized around the world for the excellence of its teaching and research programs. Ernest Rutherford's Nobel Prize-winning research on the nature of radioactivity was conducted at McGill, part of a long tradition of innovation on our campuses that includes the invention of the artificial blood cell and Plexiglas. Today our professors are building the new field of epigenetics, developing alternative energy sources from crop plants and driving human achievement in every field imaginable.
In addition to a stellar faculty, McGill is known for attracting the brightest students from across Canada, the United States, and around the world. McGill students have the highest average entering grades in Canada, and our commitment to fostering the very best has helped our students win more national and international awards on average than their peers at any other Canadian university. The prestigious Rhodes Scholarship has gone to a nation-leading 144 McGill students.
Our university is home to an exceptional collection of students, faculty and staff, and counts itself among the finest research-intensive universities in the world.
McGill's Senior Administration and governing bodies – the Board of Governors and Senate – provide strategic guidance and oversight, ensuring accountability through a system of formal decision-making and reporting.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
This is part of Montreal walking tour that I personally designed for myself to get acquainted with everything in Montreal. McGill is Harvard of Canada and ranked from the top 20 universities worldwide. The campus is amazing and may be deemed as part of your sightseeing. I strongly recommend that you do walk in the campus. Next to the campus, Saint Catherine St which is a major high street in Montreal. Take advantage of this.

Nice campus location. Staff were a little incompetent but it wasn’t a big issue. Too bad you’re an english university in a french province, good luck.

Great university! Huge by any standard! Hard to compare! A class by itself! Variety of courses and degrees overwhelming! Center of the city Montreal! Variety of courses and events hard to follow up. Be present and change will come. English main study language. Besides 99 other languages spoken. A good reference source once you graduate. Good luck you always need it !

Spent five years here and had a fantastic time—stressful at times, of course. Great professors, hard-working students, and a tight community. Lovely campus in the heart of Montreal.

I loved my time at this school. The facilities are fantastic, the people world class and the teachers really dedicated to what they do, even in classes that sometimes have an exceptionally large catchment.
This school gave me all the tools I needed in my undergrad to follow on to professional degrees and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is considering a Canadian university.

Great University with a lot of diversity. I had a great experience and I learned a lot from amazing professors with outstanding backgrounds with a lot of accomplishment and résumés. Proud to say that this university deserves his great reputation. A lot of services offered if help is needed. Students from all over the world come here to study. Getting a degree from this university means open door for success for most of the alumni. Overall, I received a great education in this top-rated Canadian University!!

Good School Overall - But teaching quality should be improved for certain courses and professors.
