I'd like to know, were you working during this program or taking osap? I'm also planning to work and stay in residence if I can. I live in pickering that's why. Study groups, where might I find them? Any in particular I should join when I get in at January 2012 program? I really want to keep on top of things with this program. How much were the textbooks in total and such? The most that I can make by dec 1 is $5,000-$6,000 and $3,000 is already going to residence. I really would like to know how you made it through with finance. I'm guessing you went through the financial aid or something? I'm really thankful for your reply/replies in advance and sorry for so many questions. It's been my dream to go to McMaster :)
