- I liked the way everything is taught systematically including the practical aspects of the courses.
- The professors are really helpful and generous when it comes to help the students.
- The laboratories are equipped with latest equipments which helps the students to understand those before heading to the practical world where we will be working.
Dislikes
- I didn't like the length of the courses offered as these were just having very basic touch to the things we should know practically and theoretically. While some of the courses were full of good lessons but mostly were having some basic engineering information.
- The offered courses are very less in number for some streams like the automotive courses are not opened in any of the terms, thereby making it difficult to choose from those.
- This is not about the university but about the place it is located in, the weather is very drastic during winters making it difficult to take part in many activities offered in winters.
Campus Life
- The campus infrastructure is very good with good buildings and sports and recreational areas.
- The university offers many facilities like a swimming pool, stadium, gym, libraries and laboratories.
- My university has 2 campuses, one main and the other for MBA school.
- The students celebrate many major festivals including Indian as well. There are many extracurricular activities to choose from.
Accommodation
- I opted for off campus accommodation as it is cheaper and flexible. I found my accommodation using Facebook marketplace. The monthly rent is around $600-700 based on the type of accommodation needed.
- I had to look for many accommodations and I visited many places to finalize the accommodation I wanted to live in which was somewhat hectic and time consuming process.
- The place I am living in is very close to the University like around 10 minutes walk or 3 minutes by bus.




Likes
- Quality of Education, Faculty (Very supportive and experienced in their fields), Ample amount of Co-op opportunities.
Dislikes
- Lecture timings are bit late in night (depends on Subject)
Campus Life
The campus is huge and well-equipped. You get wifi access all over campus. The library is good. For GYM if you're a Grad student you need to pay 30-35$ per month to access it. Other sports facilities are free just need your student id.
Accommodation
There is a Dorm at the University but it is quite expensive. Everyone prefers to live as PG. One can connect in FB groups saying accommodation in hamilton and you can find one easily and costs around 500$ in sharing.
Likes
- 1. Ranked amongst the top 5 universities of Canada. 2. Co-op opportunities and job prospects after graduation. 3. Hamilton is a great place to live. 4. Diversity and culture of the university.
- What stands out to me about McMaster University are the abundant opportunities for learning and growth both inside and outside the classroom. The campus provides a vibrant environment with numerous clubs, events, and resources that support academic and personal development. The faculty members are dedicated and supportive, and the facilities are top-notch, fostering a conducive atmosphere for success.
Dislikes
- I've noticed occasional administrative inefficiencies that can cause delays or confusion. However, these issues are relatively minor compared to the overall positive experience at the university.
Campus Life
There are over 100 clubs and events happening on-campus. The most recent event I attended was the Solar Party, hosted in the stadium. Additionally, there are two major libraries: Mills Memorial Library and H.G. Thode Library of Science and Engineering. The campus is 100% WiFi-connected, and various sports facilities are available such as the gym, stadium, and indoor games area.
Accommodation
There are various housing options in Hamilton, such as McMaster's 10 Bay Graduate Residence, condos, and apartments. The average rental cost depends on whether it's for room sharing or private accommodation. For a private room, it is $650 CAD, and for sharing, it is $450 CAD.

There are numerous events and clubs on campus. As it is a very multi culture school, you can find any sort of club you’re interested in
Accommodation
There are different res buildings on campus. These buildings are mostly available for first year on campus students. Living there could be quite hefty as j believe people mostly pay 800 a month. Even off campus is expensive but not clean
Campus Life

Accommodation
It comes to roughly around 1000-1200 CAD per month for accommodation

- I got to know about this university in QS rank website and when I searched about it. I really liked their course and their co-op program.
- I was interested in manufacturing engineering course and only a few universities provide this course, McMaster was one of them. Co-op program at McMaster University is one of the best. The university encourages everyone to get a co-op and allows us to do for an year.
Dislikes
- The university is good. I have nothing to dislike about it except the fees. The university is good, it’s located near Toronto. Only the accommodation is costly. The university is good.

Campus Life
I came here this winter and I haven’t explored much yet due to snow. But I have heard the extra curricular activities are really great. They encourage you to explore everything.
Accommodation
It’s really costly. Affording a room here is next to impossible if you are not working. I pay 700$ for my private room. I still have to share the kitchen and washroom with 2 others.
Likes
- The university provides the best course structure and I am particularly interested in Manufacturing industry.
- The course structure is expensive, requiring students to take 2-3 core subjects within their field. Additionally, they must complete 3 management courses and 2 industrial projects. The co-op program provides industrial training and covers the expenses of tuition.
- There is a wide range of student clubs available, including cultural, coding, and sports clubs, catering to individual interests. The campus provides well-equipped labs and advanced lab equipment for both students and faculty, and the faculty is supportive.
Dislikes
- The passing system is straight forward. The majority of your grade is determined by your assignment submissions, with the final exam making up 25% of your overall grade.
- Additionally, the fee structure is course-based, meaning that the cost increases as you pursue further learning opportunities. This can be expensive, especially for international students.
Campus Life
All facilities are available for students such a libraries with a range of books.
Accommodation
Rental properties prices are gone every year and now you can rent a private room between CAD 650-800 and sharing room between CAD 400-600.
