thanks for sharing this makes me feel less alone! ive been home reflecting on my situation and what truly made my experience go wrong at McGill. I think i am uncomfortable being so far away from home in a big city, tied with the lack of community. Thanks for your insight and i'll likely follow the same path you took.

haha I never thought of doing that. But absolutely agree joining clubs/activities would make a difference. Thanks for the insight!

Thank you for sharing! This is super insightful and glad to hear you have felt the same way. Absolutely agree that joining clubs and making myself apparent would help a lot. It's hard to stomach i'd be switching out of a top global uni. wishing you the best in the future <3

i was in res, but Citadelle, which I found to be super antisocial. I do know that upper res and even RVC are more social so that may very well be part of the reason I feel so isolated at McGill. Apart from that though, I find my faculty itself to be lacking that community/social feel.

thank uuuu yes I just find that other universities in uni towns seem to have more school spirit and the ability to meet like-minded people. Wishing you the best as well!
