They offer tons of programs for older people who want to figure out their computers, to babysitting courses for teens and resume writing help for anyone! There are great study areas on the top and middle floors and every once and a while they have old books for sale for about a quarter each! I have been coming here to study since I was a kid and it is my favourite library in this town. The old librarians are always helpful if you need it. The young people who put away the books sometimes will start to gossip when you are trying to study but if you tell them off they are horrified. Some odd rules exist like they don't want you to put your feet up on the ancient tables and you can't have a computer in the silent study room... Making it useless but other than that it's a good library.

Walking in from the second floor, you will see a WIlliams Cafe on the right hand side and it's usually busy during the hours that people maneuver between classes. The Health Sciences Library is one of the prettiest libraries I know, and the newest in McMaster University. It is equipped with a wide open space isolated with glass doors for relaxing, computers and no food area at the top and a quiet area for studying at the bottom section. Health Sciences Library is equipped with several study rooms to discuss projects with your peers.

Not only do they have a play house, train tables but they also have this little hallway with explore tables where kids can test different fine motor skills etc. They have two program rooms where you can sign up for different programs throughout the year, some are free and some have a fee ( anywhere between $40 - $60 for 8 week program ). But you need to register quick because they go fast!! They are not only specific to this branch but all over the Oakville Libraries. You register online.

The Library has some nice comfortable sofa's but also tables with comfy chairs where you can set up your laptop with I believe free Wifi. The south facing wall is all windows and that is also where most of the sofas are situated for reading. They have a beautiful pool with a nice big slide, family change room and the life guards are very nice and friendly. They take good care of the shallow "baby pool" and make sure no rowdy kids go through there. I find they could offer a better pool schedule in terms of keep the baby pool more often open. I haven't used the rest of the facility like the fitness center etc.

Thode Library is a beautiful circular library with four floors (including basement). It is located…read moreright by the McMaster Go Train terminal. Thode is usually not the most common choice of library to visit during school session as it is located on the edge of campus, but definitely a popular choice as plenty of students come here during exams. A little old on the inside, but there's a ton of macbooks and computers for students to use. In addition, a couple booths are set up. The first floor is usually for group projects whereas the second floor or basement are the quiet areas where a student has a cubby to themselves. The second floor is filled ENTIRELY of cubbies. The top floor is reserved for integrated science students. If you ever feel hungry, there's a small cafe opened near the entrance of Thode.

This year's Oakville Family Ribfest was at the Trafalgar campus of Sheridan College. It's a decent…read moreplace to hold a drive-thru ribfest. This campus was the perfect venue to have four rib vendors, Tiny Tom Donuts, and a corn and lemonade truck set up shop, while accommodating hungry rib eaters in vehicles. I was impressed. When leaving the ribfest, you are forced to turn right and loop around Trafalgar Square (aptly named, although I do miss the real one in London, UK) before you exit the campus. Instead, I took the time to check out the buildings at Trafalgar Square. It's a modern campus. A huge letter S is there, if you feel like posing next to it. The buildings look modern. Greys and rustic red colours seem to dominate the look and field of this campus. It has a comfortable vibe. This campus houses the Faculty of Animation, Arts, and Design. No wonder the architecture looks so clean and crisp! It also offers programs in science and technology, and health and community studies. For some reason, I have always felt comfortable on any campus, regardless of whether I have attended a class or am a tourist. I was the latter last Saturday and I felt like I fit in. I suppose that I'll always be a student at heart. I ended up eating half my rib meal in my car, parked at one of the main campus parking lots. I didn't see any campus parking police for the half an hour that I was parked without paying for it. I'm such a risk taker... haha! I was more hungry than anything. There are emergency phones scattered around the campus in case you need them. I felt safe and it's comforting. (341)

My wife attended this college for Vet Tech. I had to watch her struggle as the professors were…read moreunorganized and obviously never spoke to each other on assignments and tests as my wife would constantly have several tests and assignments due on the same day. If you have a holiday? ... not from Sheridan you don't. you have midterms? not without being overloaded with assignments and other tests. You need help from their admin on paperwork, marks or anything else? good luck, the women running it never responded and only have weeks of begging from the whole class and then escalating it to the head of the program did this women finally send what was needed with no explanation or apology. With Covid in place this college was so unprepared and handled the entire thing so poorly that it was painful to watch and listen to all the stress and headaches it caused. My wife would be at her desk studying and doing online classes from 5am to 8pm straight... and still not have enough time in the day to get all this done and she was a straight A student. This is one of those places where some teachers pride themselves on "Most of you will fail if I have anything to say about it!" Test will include critical errors. You could get 90% on the test but you do one little mistake on a certain question... instant fail. They will demand you get 90% in certain classes to fail, 90%!!! Never in any workplace that I have be at has that high of an expectation been required. I have heard great things about this college but after having to experience the student life of a hard working mom almost killing herself to keep up to an insane, unbalanced mismanaged workload... I have a strong alternative perspective on that perception.
