Building Acronyms?
My two peace studies lectures shall apparently be held at HSC...

the only building I could find, suiting that acronym is the Health Sciences Centre.
What's up with that? Or am I just wrong?

yes that is the health science center. there are a few big lecture rooms in there. and your peace study classes are prb pretty big so they fit you in there.

you should realize that not all classes for your respective faculty is in the same faculty buildings. they can be in different buildings, whatever is avaliable and fits everyone in.

amplified says thanks to Eva C for this post.

HSC is also commonly referred to as the Hospital. The McMaster Hospital and the HSC as well as the Health Sci library are all connected in one large building.

I agree with Eva about the having classes in many different building comment. Going into my last year here, I can officially say that I've had a class in every single building at Mac for my program. Some are wonderfully close, but sometimes you have to run from one end of the campus to the other in between classes. Hopefully you'll have a bunch of friends to run with though. Like from T29 to T13. Yuck.

Ohh, I totally agree with you with the whole running from one side of campus to the next. I greatly dislike T13, i think it's the most unappealing place to ever learn! Even HSC lectures are pretty ugly. I guess MDCL is the nicest place to even have a lecture.

I had a tutorial for calc in the Hospital...couldn't be bothered to figure out where it was...never went. Win. And then I had a tutorial for English just beside where the Eng building is being constructed (this was at 5:30, with a 3 hr english class beginning at 6:30 right after). That was a craaaaap walk. I felt better though when I'd walk back right past JHE and head for Rez instead of going to my next class...

No class FTW.

On the way from class to class across campus, I always tried to get out early enough so that I could go to JHE and get Krispy Kreme donuts! mmmm. I just recently discovered them there. I'd always get a sandwich there, but never notice that the donuts were not Tim Hortons. So either I was late cause I didn't get out of class early enough, or I was late with a donut!

PS. The class I went to after was Nutrition!
