Staying in Hamilton during Reading Week

View of Hamilton from escarpment

As a fourth year student, I have spent many Reading Weeks right here in Hamilton.  While some of my friends use the week to travel or go back home I have always enjoyed the week without classes, zero lineups on campus and a nice quite place to get caught up on school work.  Luckily, there is also so much happening on campus and in the community that I never feel bored or lonely and the week without school related commitments provides a perfect opportunity to see all that the city has to offer!  If your son or daughter is planning on staying in Hamilton for the week and complaining that they are board send them some ideas or come down for a visit and a night on the town!!
