My experience at McMaster was unforgettable. My professors and TAs were extremely knowledgeable and helped me to develop life-long transferable skills. The humanities department is intellectually stimulating, well-rounded and welcoming. The campus is beautiful, and campus life is generally lively, but significantly more so at the start of the semester.
View moreI thoroughly enjoyed my time at McMaster in the faculty of humanities. All of my professors were extremely supportive and cared about our success. It is clear they are extremely knowledgable and passionate about their subject areas. Additionally, campus is beautifully well contained, so it really has that “movie university” feeling to it. Everyone I met at Mac is so nice, and with an extremely diverse student body, there is a club or space for everyone to feel safe and connected. The surrounding areas are also gorgeous if you are into nature. Overall, I would highly recommend this university!
View moreMy experience so far has been generally positive. I am doing a degree completion program, which has been such an amazing opportunity to combine college and university experience. I am even able to expand on this with a new, exciting minor program that will help my career. Overall, the range of programs and offerings here is amazing. I do wish there was better faculty for the degree completion programs. They employ some college professors who are not qualified to teach at the university level/were not prepared to do so. I have had some excellent professors, but I also had one awful, disorganized professor who made the course a huge struggle for everyone. He has been doing this for a while, and I know the university has not kept and will not keep him in check despite consistent bad feedback. I pay too much to have profs like this. It’s unacceptable.
View moreIn my first year at McMaster, the courses I took were extremely versatile and there each one focused on so many interesting topics and I found that they often blended into each other in terms of content in such an interesting way remaining unique. For example, Intro Psych, Organization Behaviour and social psychology had so many similar elements, while being so unique, Organization Behaviour (OB) and Psychology covered many similar terms, while OB applied it to workplace dynamics and what causes turnover etc. Introductory Psychology broke down clinical psychology as well as human psychological aspects like heuristics, cognitive patterns and neuroanatomy! The campus was very welcoming, especially for first years and my experience was great! Would highly recommend my program, there are so many gateways and other programs at McMaster.
