  • Hey guys! My name is Paris and I am currently studying engineering and playing varsity tennis at McMaster University. Here is a typical day in my life (first semester); this was filmed during off season so I didn't have tennis practice that day, but I did have a couple of other extra-curriculars. Enjoy the video!

    I'm considering Mcmaster or queens engineering if I don't get into Toronto. Is there something that made you choose this school over the others that I should consider?

    • @parisliu5172
      @parisliu5172  Před 4 lety +3

      Seungmin Hong McMaster was always my first choice; the campus is amazing and just felt like home the first time I visited, and the community is very inclusive and helpful, unlike some schools that can be more on the competitive side. I also find that Mac is just a well rounded school in general; theres a lot of emphasis on extracurricular and community involvement but the academics are still very good too. Hope that helps!

      @seungminhong2454 Před 2 lety

      @@syedahasnainnaqvi1572 there were a few reasons.
      Since I knew I wanted to go into ECE, Queen's offered an ECE direct entry stream (ECEi), but McMaster only had an option for general engineering in 1st year.
      More of my friends were going to Queens, and it was closer to where I live.
      One reason why I might have chosen McMaster, is that they have a more well defined co-op program, which I think is important for my career options.

    Hi Paris, I watched your video on Canadian university comparisons with your friends and was super intrigued! One of the guys who selected Waterloo as their choice is going into Civil. Is there any way I could get in contact with him to ask questions about admissions/ how the program is so far? I’m currently in gr.12 applying for uni’s

    • @amanchand6742

I’m a part of LIFT church and they have services every Sunday on campus (which is super convenient) and there’s something called simple churches which are small groups within LIFT and we meet together every week and also serve in the community together! We still have services online every week if that’s something youre interested in let me know and I can get you connected! Here’s a link to their website if you want more info :) liftchurch.ca

    • @parisliu5172
      @parisliu5172  Před 4 lety +2

      its possible to run the engineering applications on mac but i would recommend windows so you dont have to bootcamp your mac. i have an HP pavilion, but i would recommend something lighter and faster (for reference my HP processor is core i5 CPU @1.70GHz 2.39 Ghz, RAM is 8GB, and its a 64-bit operating system) If you get a computer with these specs or better you should be good. some of my friends have windows computers that you can write on as well and they find that super helpful too; i personally just use my HP laptop with an ipad to write on) hope that helps and maybe i'll see you around in september!
