Why does McMaster care if I'm over 6' 2"?
I was applying for residence at McMaster and they asked me if i was over six foot two. Why do they want to know this? Does this have anything to do with the room I get?

I had a friend last year who was 6'3, they usually put you inside a chamber until you're compressed to about 6'2.
Nobody likes really tall people.

To actually answer the OP's question, they do have "tall-people" beds. I know some people who got their own single rooms due to their height.

Normal recruiting for the basketball team isn't working so they're resorting to this.  |

As someone who is 6'6 1/2" and who filled out that part of the form I can verify that yes, you get a bed extension if you can prove you are over 6'2". The bed is 6 1/2 feet long as opposed to 6 feet and is also more comfortable in my opinion. However, only certain room styles accommodate the extended beds. So applying for the bed extension limits you to getting a single room, apartment style, or suite (the 3 best styles as far as I am concerned).
tl;dr if you are over 6'2" go through the trouble to prove it, it's totally worth it.

I'm 6'4", so I had to apply for a bed extension. I needed to get a doctor's note proving this. My doctor's exact words were:
"They need a doctors note to know that you're 6'4"? That's pretty stupid" I agree. I had one in a double room, and I had very little space around my desk because it was jabbing out into that area.

Maybe Weezy may sign you to Young Money then you can collaborate on Six-foot, two-foot, twelve-point scale.
