I'm totally in the same boat as you raise cain, I'm fiendishly trying to write my MA Thesis right now, in hopes that I can defend in time (by Mid August) to be in Montreal by the First week of September. The angst is killing me, but the excitement/anticipation of being able to be in Montreal is keeping me going.
I've been accepted to McGill's East Asian Studies PhD program, but you're right of course, this thread should be about all schools in Montreal and not just McGill!
Has anyone started looking/researching for housing options? Anyone from the West/Vancouver like me too? If anything I'm most anxious about the cold, Vancouver's the coldest climate I've ever lived in, which doesn't really say much.
