Summer hunt for student housing in Hamilton is on as McMaster University reports increase in demand for residence
To get her apartment a 12-minute walk from McMaster University, Roxxannia Wang scrolled constantly through Facebook posts, hoping to spot a suitable listing. If you're lucky, you'll be one of the first to message the landlord and set up a viewing, the incoming engineering physics graduate student said. But 'your heart falls' when there are already dozens of comments from interested students, Sophie Bierer, who is in the same program, added. With less than two months before the start of fall semester, some are still looking for housing in a market students say remains competitive. The west Hamilton university said it received more applications for residence this year than last, 'reflecting strong demand from incoming students,' especially domestic applicants. McMaster's 13 on-campus residences, which have nearly 4,000 beds, are full, and wait-lists are 'fluid and subject to change,' spokesperson Wade Hemsworth said in an email. McMaster University is reporting a slight increase in demand for residence in 2025-26. He declined to share the number of applicants and wait-listed students. 'We've begun notifying students farther down the list that space will not be available so they have time to explore other housing options,' Hemsworth said in an email. One Reddit user said in late June they were 744th on the wait list for McMaster residence, and wondered whether they had a chance of getting a bed or should start looking for off-campus housing. Several others had similar concerns, sharing they were concerned about securing housing before September. Nearly 26 per cent more undergraduates accepted an offer to McMaster in 2025 than in 2017, according to data from the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC). 'McMaster's rapid growth, while positive for the McMaster community, has contributed to a housing crunch,' McMaster Students Union (MSU) president Piper Plavins said in an email. Meanwhile, the average monthly rent for a room in student housing was $800, up from $450 in 2021 and 2016, according to a 2025 MSU student survey. The MSU's education department has advocated for the city to encourage affordable, multi-unit developments near campus and public-transit routes, she said. The construction of Lincoln Alexander Hall on Main Street West, which will add 1,366 beds and allow the university to accommodate all first-year students, 'is on track and going well,' Hemsworth said. The building is set to open in fall 2026. The McMaster University residence at 10 Bay St. S. First-year students who didn't get an on-campus bed were offered accommodation at 10 Bay St. S. as an alternative, Hemsworth said. The new off-campus building was plagued by construction issues when it first opened in 2023. 'We are currently on track to be fully occupied in September as interest in 10 Bay continues to grow,' Hemsworth said. He declined to share the building's occupancy rate for 2024-25, but said it has 'fluctuated' throughout the year. The university has struggled to fill the downtown residence, where rates start at around $1,400 a month. It was expected to be about 40 per cent full last September. McMaster also offers support for students seeking off-campus housing, including a roommate matching tool. Mohawk College, meanwhile, says demand for residence has declined since last year. The Mountain institution said it received 503 applications for residence as of July 3, down from 604 the previous year, spokesperson Trish Loomis said in an email. She added it is expected the lone on-campus residence building will be full by the start of the academic year. The college attributes decreased demand for housing to declining international student enrolment, Loomis said. Domestic enrolments, meanwhile, have 'remained steady,' she said. The college is also closing its second residence building, downtown's Linden Hall, after about a year due to low occupancy. Linden Hall, a Mohawk College student residence on Catharine Street South, closed to students in April amid a sharp decline in international enrollment. A July 8 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) report suggests the international student intake cap has taken some pressure off the housing market in Ontario, which has seen a decline in work and study permits. Rents in west Hamilton and on the Mountain, where Hamilton's two largest post-secondary institutions are located, dropped slightly in October 2024 compared with the previous year, according to a late 2024 CMHC report . Bierer remembers lining up to view apartments as a second-year undergraduate student in 2020, only to find out leases had been signed before getting inside. Since then, the 24-year-old has mainly found housing through friends and word of mouth. Bierer and Wang say many students sign leases as early as November for the following school year. The graduate students say competition remains stiff in the annual race to secure affordable housing, especially for early-career students who don't have experience and connections. 'The demand has always been high … but the prices have gone way up,' Bierer said. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.

When Chris Hemsworth Joined Ed Sheeran For Surprise Drum Jam In Romania
Last Updated: Limitless: Live Better Now, directed by Kit Lynch‑Robinson, focuses on Chris Hemsworth's pursuits in strengthening his mind and body through extreme measures. A Chris Hemsworth and Ed Sheeran collaboration was the last thing on fans' bingo cards in 2025. But the moment was as real as it could be. Hemsworth swapped his superhero cape (Thor) for a day to share the stage with the British musician and play drums in front of 70,000 people in Bucharest, Romania, last year. Although the performance, a part of Sheeran's +–=÷× Tour, was easy for the Shape of You singer, it was no ordinary task for the Hollywood star, who was doing it minus any prior experience. The revelation of the unexpected cameo came forward after the trailer of Chris Hemsworth's upcoming docuseries Limitless: Live Better Now was released on July 17. The series, directed by Kit Lynch‑Robinson, focuses on Hemsworth's pursuits in strengthening his mind and body through extreme measures. It offers a peek into how much time and effort Hemsworth spent to get comfortable behind the drum set. One particular scene captures Ed Sheeran walking in a field with Chris Hemsworth and urging the actor, 'You should learn the drums to play a song with me on my stadium tour." Soon, the clip cuts to another rehearsal footage of Hemsworth practising. He trains under the guidance of Ben Gordon, the coach of Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive. Despite Hemsworth admitting that he is 'struggling", he does not give up. Noting Chris Hemsworth's progress, Ed Sheeran tells him, 'I think this actually might be the most difficult thing you do." After a tough battle with mastering the rhythm and coordination, Hemsworth delivers the live performance, drawing loud cheers from the concert-goers. To celebrate his milestone, Sheeran presents the Extraction film star a humorous 'Participation Award for Drumming Excellence' trophy. Limitless, a three-part series, will find Chris Hemsworth undergoing Special Forces training in South Korea and ascending a 600-foot wall in the Swiss Alps. He also worked with cognitive scientists, doctors, and MMA fighters. The actor took these measures to challenge his mental resilience and improve brain health, focus and memory. 'The key to unlocking these benefits for all of us is finding the edge of our comfort zone," he explains in the trailer. Limitless will start streaming on Disney+ and Hulu from August 15.

Over two years, he traveled across six countries and worked with cognitive scientists, doctors, MMA fighters, and other experts to explore how to live longer and better. 'Making this series has been a life-changing journey,' Hemsworth said. 'I've discovered so much about my own health, resilience and what it really means to live well. I hope this next chapter inspires audiences to step outside their comfort zones and embrace challenges, because the impact it's had on my life has been truly profound.' After the performance, Sheeran gave Hemsworth a humorous 'Participation Award for Drumming Excellence,' a trophy shaped like a hand holding drumsticks. It was a playful nod to their friendship, which once included Hemsworth gifting Sheeran a replica of Thor's hammer, and Sheeran responding with a guitar.
