A penultimate year student at the University of Melbourne is considering an overseas exchange for their final year, focusing on physics and pure mathematics. They are primarily interested in Berkeley and UCLA but are also intrigued by McGill University in Montreal. The student seeks information about the mathematics and physics departments at McGill, expressing a preference for Montreal as a student city over LA, despite concerns about the cold winters. Insights and experiences regarding McGill's academic offerings and campus life are requested.

Currently a penultimate year student at the university of melbourne, looking to go overseas on exchange for my final year.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
