I’m a John Abbott College alumnus (which shares the Macdonald campus — in fact, some Abbott buildings were once part of Macdonald). It’s such a beautiful campus.
In my third year at Abbott (in 1995), my friends found out that the Mac coffee house had a pool table in the basement. We managed to get a pool tournament going for a couple of weeks before Macdonald students’ complaints about our hogging the table got us kicked out.
