your dorm room looks like a hotel room

[@noahchenvlogs]

lol yeah it was a hotel room before they converted into a dorm

[@cricketman1322]

McGill looks very much like a European University. It looks very nice.

[@noahchenvlogs]

Yes you are right, parts of Montreal are definitely very European (French vibe)!

[@user-xt1th9rg1l]

you should totally make more videos concerning school, studying etc!

[@noahchenvlogs]

will do! Thank you sm for watching Saeeda! I’ll hope to have a video coming out soon

I live so close to McGill but never been to any building inside the campus, thank you for your video to let me know more about McGill

Yup no problem Léo! You should visit the buildings in person too haha!

[@nemofishkeeper5149]

What's your budget like for meals/food and how do you find the meal plan at McGill suits you? How often do you cook for yourself? Great video!

[@noahchenvlogs]

If you are an incoming freshman and plan to live on campus, you get an automatic food plan (maybe I’ll explain further in another video). It’s pretty much a generic freshman meal plan that you can use at cafeterias or some local restaurants/cafes (Starbucks as an example). Most people don’t cook for themselves unless they live off campus (since we have mandatory meal plans). If you have a kitchen and want to cook, definitely feel free too! Most if not all residences have some form of a communal kitchen! And ofc, I go out to eat a few times a week!

[@TamNguyen-cd3ds]

Thank you for your sharing. I'm from Vietnam and planning to apply for Mcgill this year. I know it's a hard choice, especially for my background, but I'll try my best and make my dream come true in the near future. ❤ Thank you once again. This video is peaceful and amazing🎉.

How do you like studying at McGill? I’m also from the US and I have recently been looking into McGill quite heavily. I plan on applying to McGill this year as one of my top choices and am curious to hear from an actual student and their experiences. (Also the video was produced very well!)

[@noahchenvlogs]

Thanks Matt! If I’m being totally honest, McGill has its ups and downs, like I’m sure every school has. Courses can get quite difficult but it’s more or less managing your time well. And also lol, if you are not from like cold weather in the US, it’s pretty darn freezing up here in the winters haha. Definitely need proper jacket and snow boots.

[@mattbourque9757]

Noah Chen Thanks for responding and I appreciate the honesty! Yeah I’m from the northeast so I am somewhat accustomed to the cold weather but I can imagine how much colder it is up there lmao. I really liked this video and the day in the life from a couple months ago. Excited to see future posts 💪

[@sabwang2799]

I was just accepted by McGill and your video really helped a lot concerning residences and the gym stuff so thank you for making this and your editing is so nice I love your transitions. Just curious about what academic life is like (if it’s allowed to film the class a little bit ) cuz’ you filmed a lot about your walking ;)

[@noahchenvlogs]

Congrats! Tysm, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Sure, I’ll mark that down for a future video if you want to know how academic life (class size, how they teach) etc if that’s what you are looking for?

[@taylortucci8457]

I'm looking into going to McGill next fall semester...how is the general commute around campus from building to building especially during the winter?

[@noahchenvlogs]

Hey Taylor! Campus size isn’t super big. If you had a class from like one end to another end at a different building, it probably takes 10-15 min walking. Obviously, snow/weather slows you down a bit. It’s ok if you are late by a little bit!

[@trishma8439]

I also want to study biology at McGill! Thanks for the video, is it possible for you to tell me a little more about grades and the application process since I’m applying this year! Thank you!

[@noahchenvlogs]

Nice! No problem! Yup, application process is very easy (at least for me coming from the US). You just need to submit a transcript (I believe they look at 10,11,12th grades). Depending on the program, I guess for Bio, you probs need an A- average or better (or B+).

[@noahchenvlogs]

linaa nice!

[@ARMAADONSLAM]

Nice vid! I got a question about McGill. I got accepted into the faculty of arts and science (cogsci) and I was wondering if I should attend McGill? My ultimate goal is to get accepted into an Ontario med school and I am a bit worried about having a low GPA if I go to your school. Please let me know what you think. Thank you!

[@noahchenvlogs]

Thank you! I appreciate it, congrats! That's a hard question for me to answer because I can't say how hard/easy it is for that specific major but I'm sure you are smart enough to maintain a good GPA!

Been busy but I got one I filmed a while back. I’ll try to edit it and get it up ASAP!

[@malydiallo1400]

Thanks for your video actually I am a french student and I’m thinking about applying to mcgill the problem is that I don’t have sense of organisation so it might be hard with the weight of work you have to do there I’m hesitant 😭 and I don’t know if my English level would be enough to completely understand all my classes

[@noahchenvlogs]

Yes no problem! It’s a French city so you will get around fine but there’s definitely time to improve English but I’m sure your English is goodn

[@katiechen9451]

hi! i'm a hs junior in california, and i'm interested in mcgill - do they really only look at test scores? (you can probably understand my doubt considering that the well-known unpredictability of top us schools like the ivies) and how would you say mcgill compares to high school in the u.s. in terms of the environment, esp. montreal language barrier? thanks!!

[@noahchenvlogs]

Hey Katie! Yup haha. McGill only requires your test scores so whether that’s ACT and SAT + your grades from high school (I think maybe even 11th and 12th grade or 10th, 11th, 12th)

[@noahchenvlogs]

In terms of McGill environment, a lot of people like to study lol. That’s kind of the rap that McGill gets but overall, Montreal is a really great city. You don’t need to speak French to be able to go around the city. It’s all bilingual!

[@ameliachen2570]

[@mayssm1223]

hello, i was wondering which cafeteria has the best food, and which one do you think is the best out of the hotel-style residences and if new rez is too far from the campus

[@noahchenvlogs]

Hey! Overall, caf food is gonna be similar but some diff features. The most popular one is RVC because its closest to campus. The food there is decent. New Rez also has a cafeteria which has poké and pizza which is cool. I liked the Upper Rez dining halls like Douglas as well. Not a big selection, but they do it pretty well. For hotel style, it depends what you like. C4 has a mini cafeteria & Starbucks connected, La Cit has a small cafe but is probably the nicest & most modern (IMO), and New Rez, has pretty good cafeteria. All personal choice, but I went with La Cit and I don’t regret my decision! New Rez isn’t that far from campus. About a 12 min walk away I would say. For La Citadelle, it’s about a 7-8 min walk away.

[@safilicious]

Hey cool vlog! Did u take any ap or IB courses? What type of extracurriculars where u involved in.

[@noahchenvlogs]

Thanks Safa! Yeah I took I think 5 APs or so throughout high school. I know ppl take a lot more. McGill doesn’t taken in consideration extracurricular but I had some leadership roles in clubs at high school, did music, volunteering etc.

[@Lia-hd4ip]

Hi, how good would you say the scholarship/ financial aid program is for international students?

Hey Lia! I’m not exactly sure about scholarship and financial aid program for international but I always say it doesn’t hurt to try and apply. Any money that is saved is a deal!

[@siddharthsekar]

Since this uni is located in Montreal and French seems to be the main language there, would it be necessary to learn a bit of French before hand for day to day interactions or could one manage to float along with just knowing English

thank you Mouad! sorry for the late reply. For pricing, I just know based on my roommate, for international students, it will probably cost around $40,000 Canadian dollars each year, depending on scholarships or any other financial aid as well

[@andreadan-syu7735]

Hi Noah! Thanks so much for your video! I just wanna ask how manageable it is to live (and find a job) without speaking French in Montreal (especially outside the so-called "McGill bubble")?

[@noahchenvlogs]

Super manageable. Coming to Montreal, I didn't know any French at all. Montreal is a very diverse city and most if not all people speak English. and ofc, McGill courses are taught in English! You should definitely not worry about language. As for a job, unless you are interacting with customers if you are looking for a manual labor job, you might need to know French but you could obviously get a job on campus that doesn't require French.

Actually how hard would you say it is to get in?, does it help at all if you were born in Quebec? And in my case, I’m finishing Highschool in the US but I wish to attend McGill in Montreal were I was born, do you think I’d qualify for in province fee or international? I’d be really helpful if you helped answer my questions, loved your vid thanks!

[@noahchenvlogs]

If you were born in Quebec, you should be a Quebec citizen meaning you pay the Quebec tuition which should be the cheapest. It’s different from US schools since I did apply from the US as well. There’s like minimum requirements for each program and it’s pretty much based on your grades so if you meet the requirements or are somewhat in range, you should be fine! Thanks, I appreciate it$

[@heidiwlau]

Hello Noah, my daughter Rachel is a dual citizen of USA and Canada. She was born in California and will be a Junior attending high school in California this fall. If she were to apply, will she qualify for the local school fee ( as a Canadian)? Any of your advice will be very much appreciated.

[@noahchenvlogs]

Hello Heidi, yes I was pretty much in the same boat as Rachel. I am also a dual citizen who was born in the US but I do currently pay Canadian tuition fee. All you need to do is show proof of Canadian citizenship and her school fee will be based off a Canadian fee!

[@danielkim3991]

Hi, I'm a 12th grade currently residing in South Korea and applying to McGill this year. I lack a lot of information in the academic life in McGill, yet I have a major concern that I can't speak French at all. Does speaking French matter a lot? How does McGill curriculum deal with international students who can't speak French and how inconvenient is it if I can't speak French to live in Montreal?

[@noahchenvlogs]

Hey! Nice, French is like barely needed at all. I took French last year just to bolster some basic French. At McGill, all classes are in English so no need to learn how to speak French. In terms of the city, everyone speaks English. Unless you would like a job around the city, you would need to learn how to speak French.

I’m only a Freshman in highschool in the states, but I want to pursue medical school, preferably at an Ivy League school. But considering how expensive it is in America, I would prefer to study in some other Uni, like McGill. Just a general question, is it expensive? From books to meal plans to dorms, how much would it be approximatly in a year?

[@noahchenvlogs]

Hey! It’s definitely cheaper than a US school. If you are international, I think it’s about 40-50 thousand CAD per year, which if you convert to US dollars, it’s definitely cheaper than a lot of schools

[@Concussion__Sub]

Are engineering studies in Mcgill University very difficult? Will I be able to score good marks there in engineering??

[@noahchenvlogs]

Engineering @ McGill is known to be pretty rough. It is a 5 year program. I can’t say if you will be able to score good marks bc there are plenty of ppl who do well and get good grades (but idk you as a student). If you push yourself hard enough, you should do fine! But it is probably the hardest program within McGill

Ya, so further review required means you send your last semester’s marks from high school I’m pretty sure. Yeah as for Economics, it’s mostly through Arts. Finance is through Desautels. You can do Honors Econ and do it with Finance as well.

[@matthieudenant4311]

@@noahchenvlogs Ok thanks and do u know if I've got a big chance to get in the Desautel or not ? It's stressful because I don't know if I am in a sort of "waiting list" or near to be accepted or near to be refused. Anyway my marks from this trimester are really good, so let's hope !

[@noahchenvlogs]

Matthieu Denant I’m not sure if it’s easy/hard lol since I’m not anywhere near an admissions officer but I’m sure you have a good Chance with your marks!

What grades do you need to get into McGill?

[@noahchenvlogs]

It’s hard to say, online they have some minimum requirements on grades per program. But I’m sure I didn’t meet all the requirements but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply!

[@lolow4646]

Does mcgill have sports management major? Or even business management major?

[@noahchenvlogs]

They have business management through Desautel. Unfortunately no sports I think. I definitely would have considered doing that major

Is it necessary to learn French to study at McGill University??

[@noahchenvlogs]

Nope! Instruction is in english’

[@jacobgonzalez190]

How much really is to go to school there? like per year? does a resident and a citzen can pay the same? im planning to move there and apply there but i will go into canada as a resident, do i pay normal in state tuition?

[@noahchenvlogs]

Hi Jacob! If you are Canadian, you pay Canadian tuition which is probably around $10K a year or so. If you are International, you pay more and if you are Quebec citizen, you pay less!

[@jacobgonzalez190]

@@noahchenvlogs whats the difference between being canadian and quebec citizen? If i move there i will be going to quebec and live in quebec does that make a difference?

[@noahchenvlogs]

Jacob Gonzalez are you Canadian? If you were born anywhere outside of Quebec, you pay Canadian tuition. If you are born in Quebec, you pay Quebec tuition which is even cheaper!

Noah Chen thx for the info.

[@mm_subhan]

Hey Noah. I just got admitted to McGill for Computer Science. Is McGill CS worth it? I have a choice between Univ of Rochester, Emory and McGill. I am an international so McGill is my cheapest option. Which one would should I go for?

[@noahchenvlogs]

Hey Subhan! Congrats on those 3 schools! All 3 are very good schools. I have a friend in CS, and he seems to enjoy it. I’m not a CS major so I’m not incredibly familiar with it. If financially, McGill suits you, that might factor your decision. Besides the program itself, I think if you have not already, visit the schools! There’s a lot of factors that go in deciding (besides the program) such as the campus life, living, the city/area around, etc!

[@mm_subhan]

@@noahchenvlogs, Thanks. I would've loved to visit all my choices but I have my A levels coming up so Its not really possible. As far as my choices are concerned I am more inclined towards McGill as its more reputed internationally. Also, it'll relieve some of my family's financial burden and I'll save a year too ( I'll be starting as a U1 at McGill.) My only concern is the weather. How do you manage? An insight would be helpful. XD

[@noahchenvlogs]

Subhan Abbas ah ok, yes you will graduate in 3 years if you are in U1 coming in! The weather is cold for sure in the winter. I’m not sure where you are coming from, but from December to like March or even early April, I would say average temperatures are like -15 or -20 degrees Celsius. And lots of snow too!

[@mm_subhan]

@@noahchenvlogs Wow. I'm from the middle East and temperatures below 10deg are considered to be cold here lol. I guess I'll need some time to adjust but it should be manageable. Thanks for all you help bro. I really appreciate it.

[@noahchenvlogs]

Subhan Abbas Lol yeah it gets pretty cold. Haha, definitely buy a good winter jacket if you plan to come here! No problem Subhan! Good luck on your decision!

[@luisa1563]

Is McGill's tuition high? Do they also accept international scholarships? Really curious about that.

[@noahchenvlogs]

Compared to other universities, I’m sure it’s cheaper than other. International scholarships, I’m not sure about. Maybe check out the website?

[@luisa1563]

Oh okay. Thanks, Noah! 💕

[@maxShimul]

You got scholarship? What is it? Can i get scholarship for undergraduate physics?

[@noahchenvlogs]

I didn't get a scholarship. When you apply to the school, you can apply for scholarships as well but there is a minimum grade when it comes to applying for scholarships!
