i'm starting college at montreal in mcgill next year how necessary is it to speak fluent french there?
i only know french from school and i'm not well accustomed to day to day talk
College in canada
classes are in english
students have an option to be tested in french
students go to mcgill for english
between mcgill and concordia there's tens of thousands of english only students in montreal
if you're arab, you might get lumped in with all of the lebanese socially
how about the settling down afterwards is an international law degree from mcgill a bonus when it comes to employment? how about montreal itself is it a francophone galore?
don't know where you want to practice law, it's a bad idea to come here to do it
law is really oversubscribed, a lot of people get money from their parents for tuition, and then live at home after they graduate, they can end up working 3000+ hours a year for 30k
mcgill law does common (uk) and civil (french) law
it's really hard to get in, the way they prioritize quebec students
in montreal:
>there's french who only speak french
>there's french who speak both
>there's anglos that speak french
most of the people are the second, you can get away with only speaking english, but you wont be welcome in certain places
if you live there for a few years you'll pick up all the french you need
McGill is an anglo school
>mcgill
Why would you want to go there in the first place ?
It's filled with anglo-canadians. That alone makes you reconsider your choice instantly
Because it's like rank 1 school you fag?
it's also filled with jews
what is concordia like? is it a decent uni?
Everyone knows about Mcgill around here but I haven't heard anything about them
McGill is top 20 in the world.
Concordia is like top 100
Which isn't bad at all tbqh, just not elite like McGill.
Welcome to Canada, friend
So how did you get admitted if you don't even know whether French is a requirement
>it's also filled with jews
What's your point? Is that suppose to be a bad thing?
...
I'm not sure I understand why jews in a university are a bad thing
They don't really cause any trouble and are quiet, smart people. Are you upset you cannot compete?
>mcgill
>elite
top kek, i've never even heard of mcgill until this thread. i think the only canadian school that is even recognized outside of canada is university of toronto
it's certainly not elite, i looked up the rankings and mcgill is below fucking UIUC, which is certainly not considered elite in the states
timeshighereducation.com
elite is harvard, MIT, cambridge, etc. no "mcgill"
>top kek, i've never even heard of mcgill until this thread
That's because you're an autistic NEET
nope, it's not just me, most people on earth don't know it exists
Except they do and it's been regarded as "harvard of the north" as a meme for a long time
>stormfags
>rational
>harvard of the north
stay mad
It's called being a brown minority.
Shitty school, even University from tiny country is better than McGill, stay mad.
