Hey guys! I lived in McKay last year and I can honestly say in terms of bathrooms (and everything else for that matter ) you guys are one of the luckiest people to have Mckay. The bathrooms are one of the biggest that I've seen at Mac. They are separate bathrooms, which contrast to Whidden, Brandon, and i think Edwards' shared bathrooms that I dread alot lol. I lived in Hedden and their bathrooms are not even as big as Mckay's. So i was acutally glad that I lived in Mckay because it's such an awesome residence.

In terms of the morning rush, there's no line-ups or anything like that because people have different schedules. Sometimes, i remembered waking up 6:30 am and the bathrooms were all used so I had to wait a bit but that rarely occurs maybe every full moon. So you guys shouldn't worry about bathrooms because they're kick-ass.

Every year Mckay tends to attract the party animals and every year it always claim its legacy as THE party rez. I hope it will continue this year

Thoughts?:cheerleader :

I have a friend that lived on the 5th floor and the rooms were ridiculously huge, possibly the biggest double rez rooms I've seen in my life. I lived in 2nd floor and I really thought MY room was the biggest because many people from Whidden, etc. said so...and then there's 5th floor rooms. I was actually mad at the rez people coz I had to pay the same amount of money for a double room thats signigicantly smaller than the 5th floorers. WOW. lol

Plus, there are the skylight roofs.

Hey guys ,
I'm on the second floor, and I'm going to be your IRC hall rep along with one of your welcome week reps so I figured I'd introduce myself here! My name is Shikha Kapoor, and like I said you can find me on the second floor . I'll most probably see a lot of you guys around, so if you ever have a questions don't hesitate to ask !

Hey Shikha,
I'm Eric and I'll be living on the second floor. Good times ahead!

Last year I lived in Mckay on second floor in room 209, and it was probably the best time of my life, without a doubt. I always found Mckay to be incredibly fun when it was time, and down to work when it was time. Like during exams, everyone would be studying hard, but as soon as we had a chance afterward, everyone would always party hard. The rooms were huge, CA's were great, bathrooms were great, wouldn't have wanted to live in any other residence. Oh yeah, my roommate and I really made our room our own, and that really made it that much better of a place to live......have fun this year!

I'm not sure if this is mentioned anywhere but is there AC in McKay's dorms?

apparently not.

Nope. But you don't need them. There are far more cold days than hot in the Fall/Winter session.

No there aren't :(! but they have windows ...and a fan and some fresh air works pretty well on most days!

Oh okay, thanks! And goooo third floor!

Here's a little video of my roommate and mine's room in Mckay from last year. We had a ton of crap in there......it felt a little more like a lively room than the typical res room... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_h4tevrEfI
