McMaster University — Attraction in Hamilton

I want to share my bad experience with McMaster children hospital so on 28 aug 2022 I went to emergency midnight because my daughter has high fever,her urine is dark reddish yellow also scratch her body ,tummy hurts,fever all symptoms within one week so i rush to emergency shes just 4 years old so in emergency I wait for 3 to 4 hours after that dr arrived I told him that she has all symptoms of jaundice or hepatitis also she has travel history recently so should do some test to confirm it,he dint do anything instead he told me it was just viral fever and some sort of allergy also i keep asking him to do urine or blood test but he refused to do and send me home:(,i was so worried for my daughter but i cant do anything because doctor was not in mood of doing any blood work or he wasn’t serious about her condition or maybe he was not competent doctor(i don’t know)so this bad experience of emergency in McMaster make me speechless I never consider big children hospital did this to me,my daughter suffered all symptoms for one week and then i visit my family doctor she did urine test right away and declared hepatitis in his body also liver is not working well and write letter for hospital to admit her immediately.I never thought this could happen to me in this big canada health system which was consider one of the best health system in world.I complain again these incompetent doctors,McMaster hospital should take action against them so nobody suffered just like me in future,God knows if something happened with my daughter when they send her home:(,She was so in bad condition that time.I am Canadian citizen and i paid all taxes so this is my right to...

My son was invited to attend Genstem 2024, a day at Macmaster designed for high school students interested in STEM programs. I attended with him and I am so glad I did! I paid money to listen to multiple land acknowledgments, and we were privileged to receive resume advise from a person who is mandated to help all students that don't look like my son. We patiently waited 6 hours to learn about the amazing Science and Engineering courses that Macmaster has to offer. Unfortunately, while some of the material was interesting and informative, there was no time spent hearing about the Automotive Engineering, Nuclear Sciences or any other courses I was hoping my son could learn about. I had spent the previous couple weeks telling him how amazing science and engineering is after Highschool. I guess modern universities have other priorities besides motivating the future scientists and engineers of the world. After many days of reflection, I am still thoroughly disappointed by this experience. Although, I am glad I was there to give my son support in an environment that is designed to be exclusionary to him and teach him that he must purservere in order to succeed in these institutions where everyone is NOT treated equal. Hopefully, there will be other events that leave political grooming and favoritism at the door, and focus on education. That way, my wonderful, innocent son can continue to develop into the amazing adult human being he is...

The campus has changed drastically in the past 10 years. Many big buildings have gone up in that time such as PGCLL (Peter George Centre for Living and Learning).

The new lecture hall(s) have bigger seats, larger projector screens, and more desk space to take notes. They also have outlets for each seat that can be used to charge your devices conveniently.

There is a brand-new residence building currently under construction, that will accommodate hundreds of more students so that you will almost certainly be guaranteed to receive a room if you choose to live on campus for your first year.

There are also 3 large libraries, along with a few smaller ones scattered across campus. Along with nice trails you can walk to be around the nature and relax when it’s needed.

The older buildings do show their age, it will be obvious to newcomers which buildings were built in the 2000’s, because the ones built before then have lecture halls seats that look like they are built for middle school children.

Overall, it’s a fairly nice campus with everything you would expect to have at a top-rated canadian university. The University is constantly spending money to grow, adapt, and upgrade the buildings, walkways, Gyms, and more for students’ convenience. If you don’t mind the small-towny vibe that you get when living in or around the university (in Westdale, Cootes, or Ainslie Woods neighbourhoods) then you will be happy you...
