Each fall, McMaster students descend upon the quaint urban village known as Westdale — a vibrant and bustling community located in the west end of Hamilton.

With pristine natural scenery, a central shopping promenade and numerous restaurants, cafes and independent businesses, Westdale is know for its friendly atmosphere and welcoming local residents. Many students at the University live, work and socialize in the area surrounding King Street West —a major thoroughfare that ends at McMaster.

Check out the video below, produced by the Westdale Village BIA and the Digital Video Group, which highlights some of the area’s most notable assets (including McMaster University).
