McMaster University

The first day my daughter went in it the air was electrifying. The welcoming party was lit with activities to make the newcomers feel at home. The facilities are well kept, the dorms are pristine. There was adequate parking which was free at the time, because it was a special event so we were given a special parking pass. Parking is enforced because I noticed the parking enforcement team on their bikes pulling up to drivers who stopped in undesignated areas, even though the area is not short of signs to point you in the right direction. Also, what I like is that the GO bus takes you literally on campus. Overall the space is beautiful.

MaMaster University Hospital has been primarily restructured as a facility that attendes to medical issues with infants and children and their parents that have or anticipate major issues giving birth, and the facility is excellent. It also has a MacDonald's House nearby. In fact it was (I believe) to be one of the very first Hospitals in Ontario to have a MacDonalds House nearby when they decided to concentrate on Children's needs. However, the Hospital also continues to attend to adults, especially those with very complicated medical issues. The facility has some of the most brilliant minds in medicine in Ontario establishing themselves at McMaster Hospital. Many are recipients of some of the most prestigeous Medical Awards, and very many are also reciepents of the Order of Canada. Some of the Physicians are not noted for their bedside manners, but are dynamic leaders in their fields. You need to ask yourself if you want a knowledgeable and brilliant Physician attending to your needs or a pleasant, hand-holding, and comforting individual that is lacking somewhat in knowledge and recent developments in Medicine "telling you as it is", and advising you on your alternatives and making the best assessment and course of treatment. Dr. John Evans and his associates gathered some of the very best Physicians from around the world. And the best continued to attract the best again, and created this excellent care facility that remains a "Gold Standard of Medicine" to this day. And, I am personally proud of my wife who was one of the early pioneers in Immunology that Dr. John Evans had chosen. I am alive today remaining in remission of an extremely rare autoimmune condition if it were not for the pioneering research work she did some 50 years ago at McMaster and some previous work she did with Dr.Thomas Tomasi at the Roswell Park Center in Buffalo, New York.

When I compare our old university to McMaster, it feels like we studied in a shantytown while this place is a full-on metropolis :) Such an impressive campus The students here don’t know how lucky they are.

For those kids who remain silent i hope you find out just how incredible you are just as you....When accommodations are paused for re evaluation, students are the ones who absorb the cost. Learning gaps widen. Confidence erodes. Trust in institutions weakens. A system designed to provide access begins to feel conditional and unreliable. Continuity matters. If updated documentation is required, it should be gathered without interrupting existing supports. Accommodation should be the baseline, not the reward after administrative satisfaction. No student should fall behind while adults re establish what has already been clearly established. Educational institutions are not only centers of knowledge they are stewards / custodians of equity. Policies must reflect that disability support is not a temporary courtesy but an ongoing commitment. Respecting prior documentation, ensuring continuity across transitions, and prioritizing the student’s functional needs over procedural resets would prevent unnecessary harm. Students do not experience their disabilities in academic terms or administrative red tape. They experience them every day. Our systems should meet them there consistently, compassionately, and without forcing them to start from zero each time they move forward

McMaster University, prominently situated at 1280 Main St W, is consistently hailed in my academic and healthcare circles as a revolutionary force in pedagogy, largely due to its pioneering "McMaster Model" of problem-based learning that has since been adopted globally. Through frequent, insightful discussions with medical professionals and engineering researchers I know personally, it is merytorically evident that the institution offers an elite-tier environment, particularly esteemed for its world-class Faculty of Health Sciences and its exceptionally strong nuclear research capabilities. It is truly heartening to witness how the university maintains such a transparent and respectful dedication to evidence-based inquiry and student-led discovery, qualities that the broader public identifies as the bedrock of its high ranking and consistent innovation. Many acquaintances highlight the university’s sophisticated synthesis of a pedestrian-friendly, green campus and its status as a top-tier research intensive powerhouse as a distinguished hallmark, proving it excels in providing a focused yet collaborative scholarly atmosphere. Ultimately, in the collective view of informed observers, McMaster University stands as a premier pillar of Canadian intellectual life, rightfully respected for its elegant ability to produce graduates who are not only subject-matter experts but also agile, critical thinkers prepared for the complexities of modern industry.

This is so ridiculous that exam for 3 rd year are scheduled in Ramadan and guess what is exam timing 6:00 pm when they have to break fast for Maghreb prayers. This is so disrespectful to asking Muslim student to sit in exam while they are supposed to break fast . What if I put the exam on 25 th of December? Or on Christmas Eve. If you are setting up exam at 6:00 then at least do at 6:30 pm? This is unbelievable disrespectful and frustrating on part of teachers , dean and whoever are responsible for setting up timetable. You guys have no brains . What a shame .

This is the second time we have been to Mcmaster for a procedure for our Son Benjamin. We are so grateful to the people that work there. The amount of patience and care from all staff is outstanding. Doctors: great Receptions: great Support staff: Great And the nurses: Great x 10. Thank you all so much!!!!!!!!

Grad student here. Was the most depressing academic experience in the most depressing city. Took a course in the summer term and needed to go to another institution for the fall term. Delay in grading led to all sorts of bureaucratic shit at my new institution, in a new city, with zero help from Mac where the backup in problems was actually coming from. Can't get ahold of anyone to ask registration or residence questions: everything is through email that takes a week to get a response from. Chatbot service through the website but only at certain hours. Phone calls are useless. Pool has asbestos ceiling that periodically falls into the pool and on swimmers. Only upside is the city bus service to the uni is very reliable.

A great vibe wandering around campus... Excitement of new beginnings, higher learning. I like the campus store, quality clothing and reasonable price.

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 .

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!!

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.

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! Thanks Ian!! You're a real gentleman!! All of these incredible students at MAC today have been MODELS OF COMPASSION, INCLUSIVITY, PROFESSIONALISM, DEDICATION & RESPECT! A delightful experience for all families this weekend!! Thanks to ALL at McMaster for mastering the ART & SCIENCE of ORGANIZED & ENJOYABLE RESIDENCE MOVE-IN DAYS!! A DELIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE, to say the least!! Absolutely TOP NOTCH...the PINNACLE!!! With sincerest appreciation for this magnificent & memorable day!

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.

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.

My name is Okere Victor , please how can i start up an application in your school, it will be a dream come true if i can gain admission in mcmaster university
