I like the independence, without being totally on my own. Also the people - there's a good chance that your neighbours will be in some of your classes, which is convenient for studying. Finally, the multicultural community is an education in itself. To be eligible for residence accommodation, you must apply by the published deadline, be starting your first year of university studies, be less than 21 years old, and reside beyond commuting distance from McGill. In addition, you must have been admitted to McGill prior to the date on which the random selection for your applicant group is held.
Students receiving a renewable entrance scholarship are guaranteed residence accommodation.
Please note that hall assignments will be determined by lottery. Also, students pursuing studies at Macdonald Campus are guaranteed residence space on that campus. To indicate your interest in residence, simply check off yes in response to the question regarding residence accommodation on the admission application form. If you are admitted to McGill and are eligible for residence accommodation you will be contacted by the Student Housing Office directly.
