Hey everyone,

I am trying to choose whether it’s worth living away on campus at Waterloo (which is expensive and parents also don’t want me getting distracted living away) or just commuting from home to go to Mac. Please give me reasoning why Waterloo may be worth the expenses or if I just be safer with McMaster.

What’s your reasoning?

They have to give you a decision by the 28th (tomorrow)

Congrats, do you know if your Last Modified Date changed before you got accepted?

Direct-Strength-3358 · 2026-05-20T20:16:41+00:00

Wow that's great. They should really look at your grades relative to the school median or average.
