3. Campus bus tours: Take a 30-minute bus tour of campus with a student guide who will show you all the places you’ll need to know when you’re a Marauder.

4. Residence tours: Drop in and check out one of McMaster’s 12 residences.

5. Athletic centre tours: Take a guided tour of the David Braley Athletic Centre, McMaster’s state-of-the-art athletics facility. It includes a gym, an indoor track, a climbing wall, squash courts and a 150,000 square-foot double gymnasium.
