Sorry but I come from a small community that does not have the GO trains or buses.

If you're coming from Toronto to Hamilton on the QEW express, you can get off at the first stop ("Columbia College/McMaster Universty" is what most bus drivers annouce). You can either walk to McMaster (opposite direction to which the GO bus is going after you get off) or take a bus (i.e. 52 Dundas). The walk is fairly short, so I recommend this!
If you decide to leave from Hamilton's GO station... I believe don't think there are any buses there you can take directly (the 51 only runs during the school year). If you move onto King St. (near Jackson Square) you can catch one of the following: 1A, 5C, 52 or 10-B Line... I can't remember if there are any more...
The good news is that you're opposite of where traffic goes, so the bus ride is roughly an hour. You'll want to take the 7:30 bus... you'll get off the bus at the first possible stop around 8:17... then walk for about 10 minutes or so to Mac. If you wait to get off at the downtown GO, it'll be 8:25. A bus ride to Mac from there is about 15 minutes... so you might be late!
