Congrats on choosing McMaster!
Commuting can be a hassle, but a lot of students do it to save money so that they don't have to live in an off-campus house closer to the university. After trying commuting for your first year, decide if it's something you want to continue doing, or you can always look into renting a house with friends that you build relationships with in your first year.
The MARC building is not on the main McMaster campus, it's a few minutes down Main Street, at Longwood road.
If you're coming off the highway, it's actually really convenient to get to the MARC building since it's right off the highway.
