What does Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) have to do with science? It's an art/design school. Oh well. Their 'Soap Box' piece sounds cool

I'm not exactly sure, but they're a university so I'm guessing they gotta have SOME science related programs....

If I could do math I'd be in Zoology...so that comment was rather sarcastic on my part...

Yes, the events are all occuring at the same time. Did you read the extended information? It explains how long each of the sessions is, not just the times they occur.

The day is filled with events for prospective students. You will have to decide what's important to you.
If I was considering McMaster I would: - Take a campus tour
- Take a residence tour
- Check out the faculty showcase for the faculty I'm interested in and maybe 1 or 2 other related ones
- Attend the Acceptance to Registration Info Session
- anything else on that list that I'm interested in

tnx
hey lorend , I just checked them as you said and they are completely useful, thanks buddy.( I dont catch up what u study ,yet ?? )
DannyV , I appreciate ur suggested check list , I'll try to arrange a same schedule for myself . I might be in your field ( Computer eng + Management) if I don't jump to medical or dentistry related fields.( I got an offer from U of T and UWO for Computer eng and general eng, but my heart lean towards Mcmaster for its campus and better(friendlier) STUDENTS , however I'll make up my mind after May Tour in Mac & U of T)
