Big story being passed around about McMaster telling incoming students to avoid certain areas of Hamilton to live.

Joey Coleman has the story here: http://www.joeycoleman.ca/2011/07/mc...medium=twitter

UPDATE: McMaster University spokesperson Gord Arbeau writes in an email:

Obviously this is not a “statement by McMaster University” but reflective of the personal opinions of one person who drafted an anecdotal letter about possible housing choices. It was sent to nine incoming Masters students by email and is of course not indicative of McMaster’s policies or positions.
The University provides off campus housing information at http://macoffcampus.mcmaster .ca/classifieds/index.php that includes many options right across the city. Students are encouraged to visit this site for more information and for McMaster guidance, advice and other housing needs.
