<p>I have been accepted into both food science and nutrition at MacDonald campus. I have an important question:</p>
<p>Does Mac offer every required course, both within the major, department, and general ed?<br>
If not, how manageable is the commute from Mac to Downtown when having to take courses in both campuses?</p>
<p>In addition, how difficult are the majors at Mac? Don't get me wrong, I'm completely willing to put in all the effort and give up social time.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>How is the social scene? Is it true that there arent many parties/ people dont go out that much?</p>
<p>I don’t go to Mac campus, so I can’t tell you everything. What I know:
-there’s a free shuttle bus that goes from downtown campus (right outside the Roddick Gates on Sherbrooke) to Mac campus at the beginning and end of class hours (possibly more often). It’s a half hour drive I think.
-Mac campus is beautiful, but it’s in a town in Quebec. It’s rural with an entirely different vibe from downtown campus. People often go on field trips to go apple-picking on Mac campus; it’s that kind of place. It’s also much more conservative/oppressive because of the city vs. country thing; there have been incidences of racism and homophobia, even harassment and physical attacks, on Mac campus (apparently not from other McGill students). If you’re not a white cis straight person, you might not feel totally accepted there.
-Mac campus has its own campus bar, but it’s definitely a bit of a dead scene. People often commute there for classes and commute back, so there isn’t much of a student life considering most students do not live there.</p>
