Welcome to Montreal! I definitely recommend you come spend as much as possible of the summer here, my friend moved here from Victoria last April and he said the only thing that got him through the winter was the memory of how amazing summer is in Montreal. Protip: there is no room for vanity in a montreal winter, just get a big stupid coat and big stupid boots and you'll be toasty

Well itaal has pretty much covered the close-by areas, since McGill is right in the downtown there's not much in the way of housing within a 5-minute walk. If you're willing to metro in, you can look for places on the Green line of the metro. A really useful tool for visualizing distances from campus is padmapper: http://www.padmapper.com/ And McGill's off-campus housing website has some useful resources, e.g. brief descriptions of each neighbourhood: http://www.mcgill.ca/offcampus/start/location/ Depending on what your priorities are (e.g. apartment size, safety of neighbourhood, ease of commute, price), I can give you a better idea of what neighbourhoods you might want to be looking in. The area around Lionel-Groulx metro (St-Henri) has some quite big places for good prices if you don't mind about a 10-minute metro commute (3-4 metro stops).

Hey guys! I just accepted an offer from McGill for Linguistics for next Fall While I don't know a whole lot about how McGill works, I am from Montreal so if you have any questions about the city itself I'm happy to answer.
