Btw, Mcmaster still has a shitload of hot chicks.
But McGill... You just gotta go there to know what I am talking about. It's like 100% of girls are babes.

hmm. Yea I suppose..my only experience in general science courses was first year chem, and it was definitely a "number" situation there, but I assumed it got better in upper years. However, I found my polisci course and humanities courses to be pretty good on the individual aspect as well. Maybe I've just been lucky with the right courses though.
Still got to be better than bigger universities though.

I didn't choose Mac randomly, but I did choose my program SORT of randomly. I asked my bff to pick betwen soc. sci. and humanities. He chose humanties because it comes first in the alphabet (but really because he knows me so well and that's what I would have wanted) and I have never regretted it. It is definitely the program for me!

Yeah about $600. My parents paid for it since they wanted me to have so many options (I pay all my own tuition though).
The most expensive one was Alberta -- $100, right out the ass. McGill was $80 or something.

i'd say even though bio and life sci are exceptions because of their size, they still probably have more students than most of the other science programs combined.

it might get better, but all my classes this semester have the same amount of people or more than in first year. |

Psych also has this problem to some extent, but those 3 programs (Bio, Life Sci, and Psych) are just too big to avoid it. Though, Psych is more structured and has more opportunities to interact with staff which goes a bit of a ways towards dealing with the problem.

It never gets much better in Bio, I can't say anything about 4th year courses, but the 3rd year Bio courses are still pretty huge.
