More Americans Head North For Good But Affordable College

Posted by Ellie Mirman

May 4, 2009

The secret's out - Canadian schools are a great education at a great price, plus the application process is much easier. It's definitely what got me to go to McGill... So easy to apply (online, no essay, no interviews) and I could attend for less than half the price of a regular US college. Right, and it was a great education too.

After my last post about the Sixth Photo Meme, I was all excited about going through my old photos again. So I went back to my Facebook photos and this time looked at the sixth photo of my sixth album (rather than the sixth photo on the sixth page). Here's what I found:

Late Night Cramming

Nov 21, 2008

I would have thought that my late night cramming days were behind me. That I wouldn't be typing typing away in the beautiful silence that only comes with a completely sound asleep household - er - apartment building. But here I am, just finishing a presentation I'll deliver in 10 hours to a few thousand people. And now cutting into my precious beauty sleep to reminisce about my college days.

McGill School Spirit: #12 in World Rankings

Posted by Ellie Mirman

Nov 9, 2007

McGill is not really known for its sense of university community or school spirit (except for maybe this little treat we saw in RI:)















The real good stuff is here, though: McGill ranked #1 in Canada and #12 in world rankings. Gotta love it. I always recommend McGill to everyone considering where to go for university. Great education, great people, great city. If you want both reputation and experience (without the pretentiousness that comes with some other schools), plus a much lower tuition, McGill could be the right choice for you.
