Hi everyone
I am going to be a new student at McMaster, and I have a few (maybe stupid) questions regarding residence that I hope you guys could clear up. Any help would be much appreciated.
1) There are many residential buildings at McMaster, such as the Brandon Hall, Matthews Hall, etc. Does the cost of residence vary depending on the building or does it only vary depending on the size of the room? E.g. is a double room at Brandon Hall the same price as a double room at Matthews Hall? NOTE: I won't be living in apartment/suite style residences.
2) I want to have a nice scenic view when I get out of bed in the morning (I am a nature lover lol ). Hence, I came to the conclusion that Brandon Hall would be the residential area of choice for me (based on the virtual tour). However, I researched a little about Brandon Hall and discovered some of its *flaws*, as provided by the "The Pros and Cons to Each of McMaster's 12 Residences" thread by Sabrina Kokosarevic. The major flaw that I have problems with is the communal bathrooms. Is there another residence that is also offers nice views but also have more private bathrooms?
3) How are the life-style themes incorporated into residence buildings? For example, let's say that I want to be a part of the quiet community. Are the residential buildings designed so that each building houses certain types of communities?
If you guys could help provide a more clear picture of the residence experience at McMaster, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again!
