The Unibuddy platform is intended as a platform for future students to connect to McMaster University’s current student ambassadors. Suitable topics of conversation for ambassadors include student life, clubs and teams, living on and off-campus, recreation facilities on campus, the City of Hamilton, and the student’s experience at McMaster in their academic program. Admissions/application questions should be directed to staff. Prospective students and other users of this platform should not disclose personal information such as phone numbers, email addresses, or any other personal contact information. Communications between prospective students and student ambassadors should only take place using the Unibuddy platform.
