excited Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Does anyone have any idea what is the best way to get to McMaster from Toronto (downtown) on a Sunday morning? My check-in time for the interview is at 8:30am. I don't really intend to spend a night in Hamilton the day before. Any advice would be really appreciated!

It is an easy drive from TO to Hamilton. Head west on the QEW. Follow the signs to the 403 into Hamilton. Exit at Main St. W. Turn left on Main St. You'll see the hospital and university on your right side. Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excited Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 i'm looking into a Sunday arrival to Mac. I know the GO train can take me to alderport or Hamilton GO center. But I am not sure if there's any buses that operates from these stations to the Mac campus. If i call a taxi, i wonder how long it'll take.. thx for the comments~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to call and arrange for a pick-up. I'm not sure how dependable the taxis are, and if it would be too close to take the chance. The earliest Sunday morning VIA train arrives in Aldershot at 0825 - also too late. Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orchid Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I don't really intend to spend a night in Hamilton the day before. I highly reccommend trying to gather up some funds and staying overnight in hamilton before-hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7kkww Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Where do you live in Toronto? I am heading to McMaster for the interview on March 30th, 8:30am as well. If you live within the area, maybe I can give you a ride and we can share the cost of gas? 7kkww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
