Best deal ever - ( except for perhaps Vacationhopeful /Linda's info or maybe Bogey 21's - 9 in 15 yrs)
Our 30 year old son graduated from McGill University in Montreal
He decided to do his third year "abroad / on an exchange "
He was able to spend the year at Claremont - McKenna College (So. California / eastern LA County - rank #9 - $ 54 K currently)
He was paying the McGill ( out of province) $ rate which was about $6000 Cdn in 2010 and (as I remember) he had some funding from the McGill exchange program .
so I think it was about $ 4K . He did have to pay the regular Claremont- McKenna Room & Board .
AND - he would call us from the swimming pool lounges / in the sunshine , in Feb while studying !
< Sort of like getting an amazing timeshare trade >
say - Hawaii / WKORN 2 bedroom - for a Cape Cod studio / winter week.

McGill - 2018
Quebec resident - $ 2456
Canadian resident -$7632
International - $16,000 + ( depends on program & there is required health insurance (about $1200) as a non-resident student ).
Drinking age in Quebec is 18
Legal weed age (apparently) is 21
best McGill " campus urban legend " - the student who aced all the (pre-med) first year science courses* AND never went to class OR “left the residence”-once cold weather started in October . Just showed up for the midterms & final exams .
* about 12-15 years ago ,McGill bought a nearby hotel building (now New Rez Hall), and converted it to a residence . It is above an urban mall with 2 grocery stores , other retail & a SAQ (Quebec liquor store ).
First year science classes with large enrollments are available via online video / probably started around 2005 .
It could even be true .
