If you plan to work during the weekends, that would be easier, all you would need to do is leave early to give yourself enough time.
If you work weekdays that's when it gets a little trickier I think, I know because I worked in Limeridge before I went to Mac, and I worked mostly 5-9pm shifts during the week. That would have been very difficult to manage while going to Mac, because most of my classes were during the afternoon and I wouldn't be leaving class until about 4pm, which would barely give me enough time to get there by bus (even during the week you can expect it to take at least 40 mins). I live in the East End, and from home to Limeridge would only take about 20 mins, but from Mac it was too long, I thought it would have been too difficult so I left that store and transfered to one closer to Mac.
So basically, if you want to work weekends that could work, but you need to make sure that works with the employer too. Some employers might prefer that you work other hours. Limeridge is a great mall, and I liked working there, but sometimes it's better to find somewhere closer to Mac. There are retail stores in the West end, and McMaster also hires students during the year, so it could be much more convenient working closer.
