This year they accepted more students than they should have, thats why there was a rez issue, they even converted some (or all .. i dk) of hedden double rooms to triple rooms. Stupid McMaster.
Now you go everywhere and there is alot of annoying first years. They bug me.

I was talking to one of the SRA reps and apparently, the government wants Canadian colleges and universities to accept 60,000 more students by 2015 or something :/.
They even converted study rooms in McKay into triples -__-.

The retention rate at McMaster is actually around the mid to high 80%.

Is it that much higher than other universities in Ontario, or Canada overall?

No idea, I don't want to search for all that information. But McMaster's retention rate is 2008 was 87.3%, in 2007 it was 86.2%, in 2006 it was 87.2%. This is only for first years going into second year.
If you want to know the retention rates of other universities you can just google (University) CUDO.
