I loved my time at McMaster. I truly felt like a part of a community, at both the Economics Department and McMaster more generally. The faculty at the Economics Department were genuinely interested and cared about me and my research interests and ambitions. Without their support, as well as the friendships that I made with other students, I would not have had such a wonderful and successful experience at McMaster.
Completing an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree at McMaster made me realize how a social science degree is an excellent foundation to impact society positively!
Going into university I believed that you should have it all figured out but I quickly found out that it was much more beneficial to be open to multiple career paths.
