File photo.”]This week is March Break, and that means thousands of high school students will be touring campuses across the country to get a closer look at campus life. McMaster will host approximately 3,200 prospective undergraduate students for 90-minute campus tours and an admission update session.

“Students continue to use March Break as an opportunity to explore the campuses they may be attending next year,” says Candy Hui, liaison officer with the Student Liaison Office. “Tours bode well for McMaster because we have such a naturally beautiful campus and our visitors are always very impressed.”

A new information session offered by the Student Liaison Office called Next Steps: From Admissions to Registration will be held daily at 12:15 p.m. to help shed some light on the admissions, acceptance and registration process.

For those who are unable to visit the campus during March Break, the May @ MAC Open House on Saturday, May 10 is a great alternative. This campus-wide open house gives prospective students a chance to meet with faculty representatives, attend lectures and workshops, tour facilities, visit the residences and talk with McMaster students.
