McGill University Student Guide Part One
I graduated from the University of Waterloo and it was the best few years of my life! I enjoy helping students so I created the McGill University Student Guide.
Part one has all the top information for academics, study tips, free food, cheap textbook alternatives, work and volunteer opportunities.
It became my goal to create valuable content that is worth sharing with others. I want to streamline the process and help you be successful during university.
There will be a McGill student guide part two, so stay tuned!

Find a list below of FREE resources for food, cheap textbooks, academic, study resources, on-campus job and volunteer opportunities. I also created an infographic on McGill’s FAQ and student life advice here. It includes a list of student discounts and study spaces locations.
