Diversity of student population noted in U.S. publication

McGill is one of North America's best institutions for undergraduate education according to the prestigious Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features McGill in The Best 361 Colleges, published in August.

Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and the University of Toronto were the only two Canadian universities on the list of North American academic institutions, which includes Harvard and Princeton. "The main factor in our selection of schools in the book was our high regard for their academic programs. We evaluated them based on institutional data, feedback from students and considered the opinions of independent college counselors," says Robert Frankek of the Princeton Review. Only about 15 percent of the four-year colleges in the United States are featured in the book.

McGill received high praise from students in the category of Diverse Student Population. "The diversity of the student community at McGill never ceases to impress as McGill boasts a multilingual student body and faculty," says one student. "Working and studying with many kinds of people from all over the world makes McGill a great experience," writes another.

McGill consistently ranks well in the annual Princeton Review, a respected reference for students, parents and high school counselors.
