    Location at McMaster University, Hamilton

    Mc Master is located in Westdale, the residential neighbourhood of Hamilton, nearby an extensive wetland called Cootes Paradise and a Royal Botanical Garden.

    The main campus is divided into North, Core and West Campus. Core campus majorly has academic institutions. North campus is dedicated to athletic divisions and west is the least developed with a few buildings, parking and open landscapes. The university holds a royal cultural heritage with the ‘McMaster Museum of Arts' which has contributed to the art discourse in Canada. The McMaster Forest is a massive 115 acre of natural lands in Dundas Valley.

This is a sad thing because most high paying jobs these days are in Computer Science.Â
