depends where you start on that 47 line. I used to take it from york, so on saturday an alternative would be going to union station via TTC. For people in brampton/mississauga, i suppose an alternative would be going to aldershot, although i'm not sure.

My dad drives me. I entirely oppose this policy of having exams and some events on Sat. It's unfair that they think they can consider us available six days of the week (essp Commies) the entire year. Its not like midterm times or things of that nature are posted in advance, so we're forced to take time off work, the rest of our lives, etc... |

It's one of the University's regulation for all students who attend McMaster to expect to have academic commitments any day from Monday to Saturday excluding statutory holidays.

I absolutely agree with you, and I think the prof that has to supervise the exam agrees with you!  |

This is the policy at most if not all universities in southern Ontario. Mac isn't special in this situation. |

You can take it from Port Credit or Clarkson, which is also Mississauga. Clarkson isn't far from Square One.
