WELCOME TO MCGILL'S MACDONALD CAMPUS - THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR NEW STUDENTS 2020-21 - MCGILL UNIVERSITY
Welcome to the
McGill community
Congratulations on being admitted to McGill University. Starting
a new chapter in your life is exciting. It involves a major change
and may mean leaving the home you grew up in and moving to a
new city or even a new country. Of course, this step also involves
logistical challenges that we are happy to assist you with. This
essential guide provides you with information you will need
about registering, settling into campus life, and getting to know
the Macdonald Campus community.

Studying at McGill’s Macdonald Campus is much more than
spending time in lecture halls and classrooms – your courses will
likely include laboratories, trips to fields and forests, and exposure
to active learning classrooms. Because we offer an intimate
educational setting, you will get to know your classmates well,
and you will discover that your professors and the Macdonald             Anja Geitmann, PhD
                                                                         Dean, Faculty of Agricultural and
staff are accessible, friendly and eager to help.                        Environmental Sciences

We really want you to feel at home quickly, so don’t be afraid
to ask for help or advice! The Student Affairs Office in Laird Hall will help you navigate your
academic program. The Student Services Office assists you with information about career
options, financial aid and also provides mental and physical health services. Get involved with
the Students’ Society, one of the student clubs, or check out the athletics facilities, the Glenfinnan
Arena and the Arboretum. Be sure to explore the local community of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, and
take advantage of all that Montreal has to offer. It is important to dedicate time and energy to
your classwork, but you should also seize the moment to enjoy your new life, pursue established
hobbies, explore your surroundings and build a network of peers and friends. The friends you
make at university will be the social network surrounding you for many years to come. The first
step towards building your own community is simple – just introduce yourself to that other new
student sitting next to you in class. That person is likely as new to Macdonald Campus as you
are and will appreciate you reaching out. Sharing this new experience will make it all the more
memorable!

I wish you every success as you embark on your academic program and this new chapter in your
life.

Sincerely,

Anja Geitmann, PhD
Dean, Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
