As a potential life sciences student, I'm wondering if I will be required to take physics in first year. I haven't taken it in high school and would dread having to take it in university, as I would not have the prior knowledge to understand the material. Any help would be appreciated!

hi,

you would take life sciences brand of physics and it's not hard. You learn sig figs for a month and some theoretical relations of physics to biology. There are some problems too but it's not hard at all.

Phew, that's a relief. How has your McMaster experience been thus far? .
