Student Series:

Come and listen to a conversation with Samantha, a student in the Desautels Faculty of Management. She shares her experience deciding between business programs in Canada (3:20), her transition to McGill, how important it is to develop a support system (13:30), and her time at McConnell Hall and living in Montreal (17:00).

We also dive into the Bachelor of Commerce at McGill (31:20) and talk about the Concentrations offered at Desautels and the professors at McGill (44:00). Outside of the classroom, Samantha talks about clubs (48:30), the Mentoring Program (50:25), and sports (and school spirit!) at McGill (51:45).

Of course, internships and job opportunities are huge topics, and we discuss a bit of Samantha’s professional life (54:45), her involvement in case competitions (58:30) and she shares a lot of great advice for future students thinking about studying and working in Montreal.
