McMaster has guaranteed residence accommodation to Canadian high school students with a 78% (or higher) admission average in the past. Over 3,500 students live in our 12 residences, located on central campus within a five-minute walk to classes, dining, libraries and the athletic facilities. We offer traditional, apartment and suite-style options. All residence students purchase one of our five meal plans, which work on a flexible debit card system. Students can use their meal card at 18 dining locations, six of which are close and convenient off-campus restaurants.
