Upper year students are now at the point in the term that they have moved off-campus, and are either subletting
off-campus or living at home. If you moved back to your parents, have you talked to them about
moving home for the summer, their expectations and rules for you?
With only a few short weeks until incoming first year students are finished high school, there have been a lot of questions about
off-campus housing and residence. That being said, although neither is mandatory, there are definitely reasons why one may prefer one over the other. Check out
this guide to help you compare!
For example, I thought res was good for me in first year, but I knew I'd go crazy if I lived there in any of my subsequent years. For other students, after trying living off-campus for a year or two they decide to go back into residence. Other students commute during their time at McMaster. It all depends on preference and your finances.
