A lot of first year students had McKay as a top choice when picking their residence this year.
And I had a friend on the top (5th?) floor of McKay, and his room was really nice. He had a skylight, which made it really pretty.

really? thats good to know.
... but im on the third so no skylight for me... lol
but everyone said that the rooms are really big because they are meant to be triples, but they were converted to doubles! so thats pretty cool! and apparently every room is different.
i want to know what mine looks like!!!

balconies? skylights? wow, this is better than I thought. I never got a chance to check out mac before coming, and I went solely based on my friend's opinions. sounds like that worked out well for me.

No. You must be 9m away from the building to smoke; so you'll have to use the smoking shelter at the entrance.
