“I was raised in Hamilton and I’ve been living here my entire life. I am in love with my city and having the opportunity to go to school here makes it even better! I’m excited to see what I’m capable of and I can’t wait to make friends that will hopefully last a lifetime.”

"Coming from Peterborough, I don’t see too much of an overlap between different ages or communities but at Mac I’ve noticed that everyone is friends with everyone and that’s so cool to me!"

“The Mac Eng family is so strong, and that support is so important in a challenging program!”

“I believe that practical knowledge is just as significant as in class knowledge. With co-op, I will be able to enhance my practical knowledge of the working world.”

“McMaster has an innovative start-up environment, so it has tons of opportunities for students to learn about real-world situations. I like iBioMed because it unites two of my interests, engineering and medicine, into one program and it's the only program that currently does this.”
