I went to McMaster.

The campus itself is great, quite beautiful, like a city within a city. The programs are top notch - medicine, engineering, nursing, commerce, Arts and Science, Natural Sciency, Social Science, Humanities, etc, etc.

The time i spent at "Mac" was without a doubt, the time of my life and would love to go back some day to learn without pressure.

The only draw back to Mac, is that it is located in Hamilton which albeit an honest city, Hamilton is NOT Montreal or Toronto.

But, I actually prefer McMaster to the University of Toronto (I went there too). Mac has a feel to it that U of T will never have. Mac is more intimate, more a campus unto itself. U of T is woven right into downtown Toronto. While U of T is the premiere University in Canada (arguably), I think I would choose Mac over U of T. It was the running joke when i went to Mac that you could die in the halls at U of T and they'd just step over your body.

And keep in mind, Hamilton is only an hours drive from Toronto's life. McMaster is also in the west end (Westdale) of Hamilton which is very picturesque. The university was actually built on land owned by the botanical gardens at one time.

Tough choice. Toronto is (not meaning to brag) one of the most amazing cities in North America. It has so much to offer, so much energy, the people are very interesting, it's a very much alive city. But as universities go, McMaster is better.

Ah the memories.......they come back.
