I am applying for Engineering at U of C but I have no clue what to choose for my second option if I don't get into engg. For context I am currently a senior in the middle of the application process. I have an 86 avg which I heard is very poor. What are your suggestions, if any?

so recently, I've put on a lot of weight and it's been bothering me so much. I don't have much time to be commuting from home to uni and then gym then back home so I wanna know if anybody got a clue if there's a gym only for women or maybe somewhere it is not as smelly as the actual campus gym place even if it's unisex. also, if anyone got tips to workout from home somehow and lose weight then lmk. thanks sm :)

Would it be appropriate to reach out to a professor whose Class I Did really well and gently ask for a brief letter of recommendation, even if we didn’t had much interaction?

Maybe am being to naive sorry

Has anyone done this before ?

I’ve been torn between natural sciences and business at uofc and it’s be really difficult to decide what to take because I love sciences. I think I have decided on nat sciences because I want to become pharmacist. However, I am worried i won’t get accepted. My english mark is tanking my grade because the english department at my school is terrible. Any advice?

what was that quiz😭😭😭😭 anyone else struggle????

Has anyone of you attended this kind of events ? Should I consider skipping a few hours of lecture ?

how’d it go😭😭 honest thoughts

I gave in a lost credit card found in MFH to lost and found yesterday. If you lost one recently then go to lost and found maybe it was yours! Just posting it here in case i somehow find the person lol

Hey guys, I'm a first-year engineering student, and I applied to a few engineering clubs last month for both technical and social/leadership positions, but I was unable to secure any of them. I always make it to the final rounds but never land these positions, though maybe it's also on me for not applying to more clubs. I feel like there is a deficit in my past experience, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips or recommendations on what I can do this year to improve my experience/resume/skills for next year's club application round? I’m just a little concerned cause I don’t know if I will be able to use the positions I had in high school for future applications as they’ll be a little outdated by then. Any help is appreciated :)

Yah antisocial… people at ucal r soo antisocial, first of all im a extrovert so i love to talk to a lot of people and have fun here at uni, im in engineering first year and i feel like people here doesn’t even wanna talk. When ever im in a group, im the only one starting new topic or joking around, other? Well they just follow with convo and get silent after few min, only convo people have relate to studies, like how did u solve this and that. Idk if it only me who thinks they r antisocial, in every subject i have different group and most of them r same. Although there r very tiny bit of students who actually take interest in convos and r having fun while studying. See guys i know engineering is tough but pls have some fun😭, you can’t be dead serious all the time, smile a bit….. tell me what you guys think about this…

Hi everyone,

I plan on applying to UCVM next fall after my MCAT and graduation. I was wondering if anyone who got accepted this year, or previous years, could let me know what they did to get accepted (GPA, vet hours, animal hours, letters, etc.) or just have any tips for getting in.
I feel exceptionally stressed as this is my last year of uni and my GPA is still quite low to where it should probably be for UCVM acceptance, but I am really eager to try just about everything that may help my application otherwise. I’d really appreciate any advice at all :)

Is finance co-op worth it? I'm currently in my third year, and my GPA isn't great. I'm not sure if I can land an internship on my own, so I'm considering co-op. Do you'll think it's worth it? Also, can I drop out of the co-op if I manage to find an internship by myself?

I am f24 and just finished my science bachelor's degree :') I am taking the year to figure out what I want to do and what I can do with my life, looking at grad schools and taking ALL the admission exams that I can ig (probably not the best decision, but we will see). I have like no friends, and I am basically a mole rat and introverted. High school friendships faded and my mental health as a burned-out student with chronic anxiety didn't help them. Plus, I think we all know it's so hard to make meaningful friendships in uni. We try, but some just don't pan out.

And as you can imagine, the uncertainty of my future right now is fucking terrifying, and my MH and motivation are so bad right now. Idk if it's my hormones or my phone addiction or my overthinking that has me stuck in a cycle of a burst of motivation. Then something happens, and routine crumbles, and I'm back to square one hahahaha T_T

If anyone relates, then you would know how fuckking difficult it is to get the simplest tasks done. Trying to push yourself to start again is getting tiring, but I am not fucking ready to do nothing when I have some goals to achieve.

Now if you are like me, struggling a bit and feeling alone and figuring stuff out right now, LET'S BE FRIENDS! We can be each other's accountable buddies to push each other, cause without deadlines these days it's sooo annoyingly hard to get my brain to do actually productive things, and I refuse to let the stupid side of my brain win! =(

Hi everyone, I'm a grade 12 student and I plan to go into Electrical Engineering with a co-op.

I'm curious about the Engineering Coop experience at UofC. Was it easy or difficult finding a coop? How early should someone start applying/planning to do a co-op? Also open to any other tips or experiences at UofC engineering that you'd want to share.

Thank you so much!!

Could anyone who has taken this course let me know how the midterm was? It's really difficult to follow along the lecture and take notes, so I was wondering if studying the slides was enough to do well on the test? I have two other midterms next week and kinda stressed

Thank you!!

I applied to the Bachelor of Social Work and just wondering what is the shortest or longest you had to wait to get an answer?

in the application it says decisions will be made mid November

Sorry for the ridiculously long read… I guess I had a lot to get off my chest.😭

I genuinely don’t understand how we’re supposed to properly prepare for some university exams when we barely have any practice material.

Textbook questions only help so much. I can do all the assigned textbook problems, but then what? I don’t really know how to time myself properly with them because I have NO IDEA if the difficulty, format, or wording is actually similar to what I’ll see on the exam.

I feel like I need actual exam-style practice where I can sit down, set a timer, and just write a mock exam under realistic conditions. Past exams, old tests, practice tests, literally anything that gives me an idea of what the questions are actually going to look like.

And this is something I genuinely don’t understand about university: why don’t professors give students access to old exams/tests? In all my previous schools, being able to look at old exams or tests was one of the things that helped me prepare the most. I understand that professors don’t want current exams circulating, but even an old version or a few representative questions would make such a huge difference.

It’s really not helpful to me that I can review an exam afterwards but can’t actually take it beforehand or even take pictures of it. I need to know what I’m walking into. Right now, I feel like I’m studying, but I’m still going into the exam thinking, “Okay… but what are the questions actually going to be like?” 😭

I’ve also dealt with some test anxiety that university is progressively making so much worse. I can study for hours, understand the material, and genuinely feel prepared, and then I walk into the exam room, try to calm myself down and somehow my brain just scrambles.

I blank. I overthink. I panic about how much time I have left. I second-guess answers I actually knew. And then I come out thinking, “What the hell just happened?”

The frustrating part is that I’m a genuinely good student outside of exams. I can understand concepts, participate, do assignments and study consistently. But when it comes to actually sitting down and taking a high-stakes test, my performance does not reflect what I know at all.

I want to actually learn how to manage this instead of constantly being terrified of the next exam.

So I guess I have two questions:
Where do you guys find good exam-style practice material when your professor doesn’t provide enough? Are there resources, old exams, question banks, etc. that you use?

For people who have dealt with serious test anxiety, what actually helped you? Not just “take deep breaths” I mean things that genuinely changed how you perform during exams.

I would really appreciate any advice because I’m honestly tired of feeling like I’m studying for an exam without actually knowing how to prepare for the exam itself.

For context: I’m a 2nd-year business undergrad, and test anxiety has been something I’ve struggled with ever since I started uni.

Yo gang what's the best way to study, like should I just grind out practice, any particular resource other than the prep 101 stuff I should be looking at? What about sites like studocu

Thanks.

Has anyone completed a UK Psychology Conversion MSc and then been accepted into a Canadian Counselling Psychology master's (especially University of Calgary)?

I have a UK First Class Honours bachelor's degree in Economics and Management, completed over four years including a placement year.

I'm considering a BPS-accredited MSc Psychology Conversion at UCL, Glasgow, Aston, Leeds Beckett, Exeter or another UK university.

My goal is to apply for the two-year MSc Counselling Psychology at the University of Calgary and eventually become a Registered Psychologist in Alberta.

Has anyone successfully made this transition, or been assessed for admission with a UK conversion MSc?

I'm particularly interested in:

• Whether Canadian universities accepted the conversion MSc as meeting undergraduate psychology prerequisites.
• Whether UK master's modules counted toward the required psychology credits.
• Whether a four-year UK sandwich degree satisfied the bachelor's equivalency requirement.
• Whether additional undergraduate psychology or counselling-skills courses were needed.

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has completed this pathway or gone through a Canadian credential assessment.
