What do you like or dislike about Mcmaster university?

Like: the campus look and feel
Dislike: the cost of food, apathy of the base when it comes to student politics, many of the professors, cost of tuition, online course management system (solar/mugsi), avenue2learn, should ... i .. continue?

I like the feel of the campus, not just the aesthetics of it but the openness, the attitude I guess that's in the air. Very different from what I've observed at other schools.

I like all places to nap.

I like the level of school spirit we have (as in not so much that it's obsessive but still present)

I like that it's not a huge school and there's a sense of community.

I like Hannah Holmes (she is a national treasure).

I like Willy Dog!

I dislike SOLAR, the bureaucracy in the administrative offices and the borderline neglect of the arts. I also dislike how a good amount of Mac students seem afraid of Hamilton and subsequently fail to engage with the community in which they live. I dislike how hard it is to get certain electives.

Oh yeah, and I hate 1280 hahaha

I really dislike how easy commerce is.

I also dislike that about 50% of the clothing sold at titles doesn't even look good, and the school wants USA State school prices for them.

I hate that the university allows professors to use their own, non-publisher endorsed books. That's probably the #1. A lot of universities make regulations against this very thing (I'm not talking custom course packs, I mean books).

There is this prof called Nicole Wagner in Commerce. Awesome prof.

I also like the SAS staff. Really nice

Like Michael Mercier.

I like the coziness of the environment/school

I like the pasta from La Piazza

I like the self-serve timmies (guilty of double-cupping once during RUTRTW shh)

I dislike the absence of wifi in so many places

I HIGHLY dislike Solar, Mugsi, & A2L (including all the other previous horrible course bulletin systems in the past)...and the overpriced coursewares/texts, and food.


.

....also not being inside the bubble/sheltered world of Mac anymore.

I like (love) the campus.

I like Bridges.

I like all the old buildings, and all the old parts of new buildings.

I like the grounds and even Lake McMaster.

I also absolutely love the Psychology department.

I dislike SOLAR and course-selection and staying up for hours trying to get into courses you *need*.

I dislike textbook prices and unnecessary new editions of them.

I dislike lack of seating when MUSC is busy. :(

Course design, course management, course selection, course options.
Overpopulated
The new booster juice in fucki*g MUSC. like no.

Is it way more packed than it was when the smoothie booth was there?

Booster Juice is the greatest thing McMaster ever got. I have at least 3 Funky Monkey daily. Just totally awesome and so healthy caused you know soy!

I really hate Lake McMaster. One night, I was walking and wasn't paying attention walked into the damn thing and everything was wet. I wanted to cry but luckily I'm a guy.

If it wasnt so late, i guarantee you would have girls jumping at the opportunity to backhand you for that comment!

Campus is great,
Profs are hit or miss, but there are some that i have loved having through the years
I dont mind solar, because if you have a system, it only take 5 minutes to login on the busiest of nights. people who complain are just ignorant in their methods
Only complaint is the girl guy ratio in eng lol

I smell a rant page cropping up somewhere...
Like: the campus, yes, and also the cad labs!!! :.)))
Dislike: TA system. Yes, this is likely inherent in the term "university", but that doesn't mean that 70% of my grade from one girl/boy who decided to hate me because I asked a question s/he didn't know...

Just wanted to point out all of the yummy phytoestrogens soy has.
In other words, it's full of pseudo-female hormones.
consuming 3 a day...you may be a guy now, but you won't be for long...

Like: the campus, mcwork, a couple of places for food

Dislike: the lack of variety in courses
