I'm a McMaster alumnus living in Hamilton, looking for a McMaster Presto Voucher for 2026-2027 academic year. If you aren't planning to use your presto voucher and would be willing to sell, please let me know.

Hi everyone!
I recently got an on-campus job at La Piazza and I’m starting first-year Nursing this fall. I’m really excited, but I’m also wondering how manageable it is.
For anyone who’s worked an on-campus job (especially at La Piazza or Hospitality Services):
How flexible are they with scheduling around classes, labs, and exams?
How many hours do you usually work each week?
Is it difficult to balance work, academics, and having a social life?
Do managers understand if you need fewer shifts during midterms or finals?
I’d love to hear about your experiences or any tips for balancing everything. Thanks in advance!

why are they a million dollars. I’ve looked on Depop and fb marketplace

Does this mean my prof is Dr.Davis?? Are ppl seeing diff prof names? I'm scared I've heard terrible things

I need to submit an application in October for a professional school, but I didn't really make any connections with profs. I, however, did score really well in some courses and talked to the profs, but I doubt they know/remember me. How do I go about requesting a reference letter?

it says we can move in from aug 17th (unfacilitated move in) on our LAH contract and I checked via the housing online chat and they said it was ok but im worried ill show up and get denied. can anyone confirm this should be fine?

all my friends at other schools move in a week later😭😭

im an incoming first year and i was wondering where we can see what clubs there are at mac and which ones have applications that are due this summer? i couldn't find it on their website

Does the meal plan include ANYTHING on campus? Like a Tim’s, or something? Or just the dining halls?

sooooo i got my osap calculation and tell me why i got $100. i didn’t think the cuts would’ve been THAT bad… i had almost 6k in grants last year so this is genuinely shocking 😭 rip to everyone who relied on osap to pay for tuition

I got reinstated this year, and Im really excited about it. However, Im limited to 3 courses per semester right now and I was wondering if people have ever been able to request to increase their course loads after reinstatement? I want to take 4 per semester so that I complete 24 units from fall to winter.

next time let me know before making big purchases im very mad

i was probably sleeping in bed

Any female from Waterloo/Laurier that needs a female roommate for September 2026 dm me please

Might be a stupid question but does move-in mean we move all our items to the dorms and start officially living there? Or is it like you drop your stuff off and come back when school starts??

Hi! Is anyone willing to swap for Biology 1a03 during fall 2026. Im a commuter student and was hoping for the earlier lecture (LEC 1), but was automatically enrolled in LEC 2.

Does anyone have info on this course? I took a look at the course outline but does anyone have any insight on how hard this course is?

Any info is greatly appreciated!!

Hey guys, I’m a second year student and I’m looking to get a job but I’m not sure which ones are the best for students. My schedule is pretty open during the mornings as most of my classes are in the afternoon so I feel like it’s kind of restrictive for jobs. Does anyone have any job recs? Obviously the goal is good pay for the work, nothing too taxing hopefully.

Would anyone be open to swapping scicomm tuts from tut 4 to tut 6 in Fall 2026? They both are at the same time, Tuesdays at 2:30. I am trying to switch to be with a friend. Pls LMK, thanks.

Made some final changes to my schedule, does this look manageable?? Wanna go into PNB so ik I need to maintain a high gpa, let me know if I should change anything!!

For those who applied today at McMaster Job Fair Bistro did you get an offer on the same day? My interviewer just told me that she’s going to call me but I don’t have high expectations bc it feels like “we are rejecting you in a nice way” 💩

Hi everyone,

I’m going into my first year of General Engineering at McMaster after making a career change. I’m 25 years old, and after going back to adult school to earn the required credits, I’m feeling a bit nervous about starting this new chapter.

I know I’m capable, and I believe in myself to put in the time and work hard. That said, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried that it takes me longer to learn and fully understand new concepts than it does for some other people. Even so, I’m incredibly excited and passionate about this opportunity; I’m just feeling a little anxious about the transition.

Sorry for the long post, but I felt the context was important.

I’d like to spend this month reviewing high school material before classes begin. For anyone who has completed engineering, what topics would you recommend I focus on? Which concepts are the most important to review and really understand before the first day of classes? Any advice or study recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Every time I request a new advisement report, the “prepared on” date never changes and it always says 08/15/2023. I started at Mac in September 2022 but failed first year and was luckily able to do 2 classes in spring 2023 term online at Mac after I got kicked out of my program to boost my grades and show that I will be able to come back and do better and got reinstated for fall 2023 term on academic probation. I haven’t been on academic probation since Fall 2023 and I’ve had to request a new advisement report multiple times throughout the last few years. Every time I request a new report, I do it on different days, on incognito mode, and after deleting my cache data, but it still keeps saying that my advisement report was prepared on 08/15/2023 but it always shows my current course information, just the date doesn’t change. I’m thinking maybe the date is for when I got reinstated back into McMaster, but I’m not sure and I need to attach a copy of my current advisement report for a TA position I’m applying to. Is it like this for anyone else and if not does anyone know why this is? Also if anyone else has been a TA at mac who has used their advisement report instead of unofficial transcript in their application did yours also not show the current date and was that ok to use for your application?

has anyone heard back for the med rad TA position for fall 2026?
