McMaster University
speciality: English Language & Literature

I really enjoyed my experience at McMaster University. I was accepted into the English and Cultural Studies program and I found the people that I meant in my program to be very like-minded. Once I got over my initial shyness it was easy to make friends. The professor whose classes I took all seemed highly passionate about the subjects they were teaching. McMaster also has a lot of career development programs for its humanities students, in case you, like many students are worried about finding a job after you graduate. My only regret is not joining more student clubs (of which there are soooo many at Mac). There’s no shortage of ways to get involved in campus life at Mac. Best of luck to any future applicants.

As a passionate book lover, and aspiring writer, enrolling in the English Literature and Cultural Studies program at McMaster University was the best decision I have ever made. Not only are the Professors successful and well-known published authors, but their courses are equipped with everything you need to become a great writer. From Victorian Literature, to Creative Writing, to exploring genres such as Shakespeare, Sci-Fi, Medieval Romance and Graphic Narrative, the english program is designed with care and heart. There are also so many opportunities to get involved in school newspapers or campus journals, to get experience publishing/ submitting your work to help you build a professional resume. And what’s ever better, the submission entrance fees are free of charge! Not only is McMaster a beautiful campus with big oak trees, archival Harry-Potter looking buildings, and some cool study spots, but it is a campus full of community! It feels just like the movies!
This is your sign to choose McMaster and start making your dreams of becoming a better writer a reality!
