Students Say - Student Body
Students here describe themselves as "very smart." They're also "good looking," and they don't mind telling you so. Beyond those characteristics, the undergraduate population is widely varied. "Diversity is one of McGill's best advantages." It's "a melting pot of eclectic people of different cultures and backgrounds." "This environment doesn't allow for cookie cutters," says a junior. The international contingent is huge. "McGill recruits students from all over the world" who "speak several languages and have multiple citizenships" "A lot of people seem to take themselves too seriously and always want to win an argument," a junior says. There are "plenty of preppy students" and "rich, white kids who grew up in Toronto and attended private high school." Other students are emphatically "middle-class." There are "jeans-clad, beer-drinking, indie pop-listening" students. There are "academically devoted students, late-night party fiends, hippies," and "elitist, fashion-victim" "scenesters" "adhering to the latest style." Other students are "crunchy," "cry-baby social activists." McGill is also home to "one of the larger openly gay communities in Canada." "We're interesting kids," reflects a sophomore.
