One of the best Universities in Canada , MAC is well known for its Health Sciences. Pioneering in pedagogical methodology of teaching and learning, it focuses on small groups, problem-based self-directed research and learning versus just being told what to do and memorizing in big lecture halls. MAC has also been innovating in creating new degrees and programs to meet the changing needs of Canada such as joint MD/PhD , joint Bachelor of Health and Business, joint Health and Engineering. MAC is also the only university with an active stock trading floor. Unfortunately, unlike University of British Columbia (UBC), it is no where near the beach and doesn't have a nude beach next to it, only a ravine called Cootes Paradise that houses the largest wetland biodiversity in all of Canada . read more

How can I dare give anything less than a five star for THE BEST UNIVERSITY AROUND. GOOOOOOOO MAC! As a Marauder, my blood bleeds maroon, but I'm going to be an alumni REAL soon :( My reason for choosing this university still remains true, because of Science, because of the students, because of the campus, to that I say I do! McMaster has been around for almost 130 years (next year I believe is the 130th year). Originally built in Toronto, later moved to Hamilton, McMaster is located in the city of the falls- definitely a beautiful place in the summer and fall to go hiking and explore all of the waterfalls and the trails. Spring, summer, fall and winter, McMaster is beautiful, well actually, spring is not so beautiful, but hey, that's when Lake McMaster reappears in the middle of the campus. Fall however, is LOVELY. Definitely see quite a few people taking their wedding photos here! Centro, Bistro and Bridges are delicious places to eat. I'm so proud that Mac has such great chefs! Mary Keyes, Bates, Brandon Hall, Hedden Hall, Les Prince, Matthews, McKay, Moulton, Wallingford, Whidden and Woodstock - you've been home to many students at McMaster each year! Cheers to graduates of 2016!! read more

I visited McMaster with my manager to conduct co-op interviews. We held six interviews at the John Hodgins Engineering building. It had snowed the night before, so it took us twice as long to get there. And, yes, we were late with our first interview. Thank goodness our first candidate was so patient with us. The staff in room A214 was great showing us the room where we were to conduct our interviews. We also got hot water and tea to start our day right. Our room was spacious with desks and power outlets. The downside is that it kind of looked like a storage facility. None of our candidates made any remarks about the boxes and such, so we were good. It was a nice touch that lunch was paid for. We had to go across the street to the medical building (I forget the name of it). It had a fine selection of Tim Hortons, Pizza Pizza, and more products. Parking is typically expensive on campus. Luckily, the flat rate was capped at $20. The weird thing about the payment kiosk is that the receipt prints in the bottom area, but the plastic flap swings away from you, making it difficult to retrieve your receipt. It took me a good minute to fish it out. I would be fine returning to McMaster to conduct another set of interviews four months from now and explore the campus more. read more

I'm slightly biased and I haven't been back here in close to 8 years (crap, I'm old), but I would like to say the following: -From 2001 to 2005, while I attended, they were constantly adding new buildings, such as new residences, new food vendors, new facilities, etc. -One of the new facilities was a state-of-the-art gym (as of 2006 when it was built) with an indoor rock climbing wall. -The schooling itself was pretty good. I would say that the math, science and medical programs are excellent while the business (Degroote) is not bad either. -I studied business there and while I wouldn't say the actual education was the best, they are very good at placing people in jobs. I did an internship after my 3rd year and I got placed at PwC as an associate for 1 year. While I didn't go back to PwC after my 4th year, it proved to be invaluable experience as it taught me that the real world isn't anything like university. That you couldn't slack off and have no consequences. That you can't just "cram" your work like you do for test. It also helped me get a job after graduating. Verdict: if you study business, try to do an internship. It'll be very valuable. read more

INCREDIBLE ORGANIZATION, COLLABORATION, ENTHUSIASM, RESPECT & SUPPORT demonstrated by student volunteers at McMaster University today, as we moved our daughter into residence! A truly impressive group of energetic students, EACH going ABOVE & BEYOND to guide us to our building, move belongings from our car to the room, and asking us if we needed ANYTHING AT ALL while in the midst of setting up the room ~ it really doesn't get any better than MAC move-in-weekend!! NOTHING COMPARES!!!! Special recognition to WALLINGFORD RESIDENCE VOLUNTEERS whose warmest welcome eased the transition & made an otherwise daunting task truly effortless & sincerely enjoyable!!! IAN CURRIE, 4th year Engineering student at MUSC (McMaster University Student Centre), deserves additional recognition for his respectful, thorough, enthusiastic, warm, cheerful, and inclusive approach, welcoming & guiding our daughter to the MAC community & to the Faculty of Engineering!

Excellent campus in the underrated metro area of Hamilton. Could not believe the amount of study areas encompassed within the campus! Beautiful views of the mouth of Lake Ontario. Plenty of greenery around campus to explore. Exquisite meals in each residence, with help from campus restaurants/bars. Athletic facility is rustic, yet contains all necessities. Lecture halls provide great lighting and spacious seating/work space. Would recommend to anyone that has an appreciation for nature and a clean work environment. All residences were impressive, although the suites were much of the craze. If you can afford the costly prices, a 4 or 6 person suite is the way to go for the best on-campus living experience. Much appreciation for McMaster University and all it has to offer. read more
