So many cool things about Canadian campus life that are very different to Aus.
The underground tunnel that connects building and usually have cafes and stores in them are a great idea and i'm still finding new places that I haven't been before which is really cool! I think once winter really hits i'll appreciate the tunnels even more! Especially considering my Australian "she'll be right" attitude towards -20 degree tempreatures!
The bilingual nature of Montreal is also a great aspect to the culture of Montreal. Although McGill is an english institution you can still hear some French being spoken and once off campus you are immersed in French which is a great experience.
One drawback of McGill has to be the dingy uni bar, it's definitely got nothing on Manning.

omigosh - I wish I had been following this blog a bit closer. I bask in any opportunity to talk, hear, or read about McGill .. (I also went on exchange there.) Awaiting posts eagerly..
If you haven't already, you must try the poutine from La Belle Province.. there is one on the cnr of Prince Arthur & St Laurent. DOO ITT. The #4 meal is the best.
Good luck!
