On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate McGill University? Why?
462408
I would give it an 8 with the score rising or falling a point depending on the specific subject area you are interested in doing. I close friend of mine studies at McGill and he enjoys both campus life and Montreal. The University isn't huge and is relatively diverse. Montreal is an interesting city with plenty of things to do, but the winters there are freezing, so you have to be prepared for that. \n\nMcGill is apparently well known for medicine and biomedical research, music and international relations among other things.

a quiet, underestimated school. I'm a second year and enjoying my time here. Frats dominate the social scene and the school is going through a construction boom. the weather isn't as bad as i though it would be. overall I am satisfied with my decision to come here

I'm afraid I have to be really honest and say that it isn't one of the best universities in London BUT it would probably be ok for you, as it does attract a lot of international students like yourself. The reason why I say it is poor is because as you probably know, it was a merger between the university of North London and London Guildhall University in 2000 because they were failing. This University is therefore still very new (only 6 years old) and I suspect still has a lot of teething problems. Also, it's in the bottom 50 of the guardian national UK newspaper University 2006 guide, which is based on the national student satisfaction survey. However, it's the only uni that offers what you want, so I think that it's worth you going up there for an open day (if you haven't already), having a look round and speaking to the lecturers and students if you can, before making a decision. \n\nIf not, the following website link may help you:\n\nhttp://education.guardian.co.uk/students/tables/0,,1575140,00.html\n\nThe guardian University guide 2006\n\nGood luck with your course

Is it a good school?  Let's put it this way -- US News & World Reports doesn't even bothering ranking it.\n\nIt is not selective.  And it awards lots of online degrees, which employers will not take seriously.

My friend has just finished a three year course there. She really liked it. She was doing a performance course and has made some really good contacts. I believe the uni has a good relationship with Granada Television.

McGill (Montreal), University of Toronto has a very strong reputation on the east side, I would suspect Simon Frasier (Vacnouver) has a pretty strong name.\n\nBut that is name only. I went to Concordia, and I do believe the quality of education I got there was better than my friends at McGill, but less impressive on your resume.\n\nBut after I started working, I was thoroughly impressed by the number of skilled workers coming from ETS (ecole de technologie superiere). I visited the university and was very impressed at the curriculm and facilities. Courses are taught in French though.

As far as overall program success, I'd place them in the top 10 for certain. Top 5? Whew! They have had great teams but have under achieved on a lot occasions. I'm a Kansas fan so I say thie word choked with a stright face. \n\nThere are other programs out there that are slightly ahead of KU (Kentucky, UCLA, Duke, North Carolina to name a few).\n\nIf we're speaking strictly of the "hardware earned" then yes, top 10 but not top 5. \n\nIf we're talking consistantly decent teams, KU is right there in the top 5.

It is an accredited university. They are great for the few degrees they do, but they are also very expensive.

The most popular university with outstanding reputations since long long ago is the University of Manchester. Not only for their academic excellences but also for their contributions through various fields. If I had really to choose, I will pick up Manchester as my 1st choice because being in Manchester is a dream come true for me.\n\nHowever, according to The Sunday Times University Guide, 2005, Manchester and even Leeds and Hull was not taken as UK Top 10 Universities - Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College, London School of Economics, UCL, Warwick, York, Bristol, Durham and Bath. But, if you're seeking to be in a best place, don't hesitate to be in Manchester.

It's quite new so it is still working on its reputation but it's meant to be very good for technical subjects (sciences, engineering, IT etc). It offers BSc's and MSc's etc. And they take as long as English degrees (Bachelors 3 years, Masters 4 years) I believe. A friend of mine went there and said it was very hard work and you could kinda tell they were still just starting out (though this was 3 years ago). Meant to be very good though. Lovely area as well.

If you're looking for reputation rankings, you should look at the US News and World Reports annual rankings.  If, however, that doesn't mean much to you, then you're in my boat and wondering by what measure should we determine what is the best school?\n\nThe best way to judge for yourself is to visit the campus and talk to people there - formally (the public face) and informally (the face you'll get without admissions office control).  For example, talk to some students at random in the union.\n\nBeing from Ohio, I know a bit more about Ohio Wesleyan.  My POV is that, as a private school, it was not Harvard and I had the opportunity to go to Harvard.  If I was going to pay that much, I might as well have attended Harvard, so OW was off my list.  I have a tough time imagining who would attend outside of Ohio kids that had lots of money but were not bright enough to be admitted to Miami Univerisity, Oberlin, or Kenyon (back when I was searching) or OSU (today).  Maybe there is some specialization that draws people there like Oberlin draws music and arts students, but I don't know anything about it.  Basically, OW wasn't even in my list of places to consider.  Perhaps some things have changed in the last 15 years or perhaps not, but no new news has prompted me to change my opinion.  I made a point of visiting quite a few universities when I was searching in 1990.  I probably visited OWU, but I don't recall.  It had that much of an impression on me.  In the meantime, Harvard, Yale, Oberlin, Kenyon, Baldwin Wallace, Maimi U, OSU, and some schools in SE Michigan DID make an impression on me and I still wonder if some of them would have been a better choice.  As it was though, I made the decision based on finding a program that was relatively unique and that I found very attractive so that it wasn't the university, but the degree program that won me over.
