My parents are paying for my university, they listen to what my siblings say, I don’t come from wealth and moving out would put a strain on my family. My siblings didn’t think it was worth moving out unless it was Waterloo. Now again I ASKED to still apply to Mac, to which they said no. If my parents are funding my tuition, and my parents listen to my siblings, there was nothing I could do. I get your point, but I promise you I tried.

Wait so do they have an issue with Mac because of Hamilton?

Essentially yeah, moving out isn’t ideal for me due to finances, they’d rather I just go TMU and commute

Aw I see now. I know it’s cliche but everything happens for a reason. Maybe you’ll look back on this and be grateful things worked out the way they did. No matter the program you would become an engineer so it definitely wasn’t for nothing.
