MONTREAL -- Playboy magazine has named McGill one of the top schools in North America to party and is featuring photos of four nude students from the university in its latest issue.
The photo spread hits newsstands Friday, much to the chagrin of university officials who have been trying to distance themselves from McGill's growing reputation south of the border as a haven for party animals.
Quebec is one of the few jurisdictions in North America where the legal drinking age is 18, compared with 21 in the United States.
Montreal is also known for its abundant night life and its liberal attitude. The city has made international headlines in recent years with two local swingers clubs successfully challenging criminal charges.
