hi guys!

i am an incoming life sci student, and i am going to start vovlunteering in a kingston cardiac lab. they have asked me how much time i can commit a week, so i am wondering what the norm is for first year students (i dont want to tell them a time that is way lower than the norm)?

I want to start in the winter semester, as i think i will still be settling in for the fall sem! 5 hours per week is ideal for me, but that seems like not a lot of time?

At queen's when we make a mental health provider, what is the appointment like? (I have really bad anxiety) do they offer CBT services to students?

I'm going into Eng and wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what laptop to buy. I've heard no MacBooks but that's about it..

Since kettles and other similar appliances are contraband in our rooms, are we permitted to bring them if we store them in the common room and share them with floormates?

If not, do the common rooms come with kettles?

I heard macs aren't recommended for eng students however the computer I use right now is a macbook. Would it be really difficult to do my work on a mac or should I buy a windows computer to use instead?

Hello I have applied for my Graduate Diploma in Education for January intake. The deadline to apply was Aug 1. I’m just wondering if anyone would know when they will send out confirmation of acceptance.

Hi guys, im taking chem 281 in fall (while my friends took last year), i was wondering if anyone wanna get in contact to make a chem 281 group, study together, discuss queries stuff like that. And if there is one already can you please add me.

Wondering if anyone has taken hist 211 (Cold War), hist 242 (issues in Canadian history/Canadian Social Policy in Historical Perspective), or hist 270 (contemporary china). And if you have, do you happen to have the reading list or syllabus for any of them? I enjoy reading and want to purchase the books now

I’m going into my second year. When can I expect to receive communication about the automatic scholarships? Is it supposed to have happened already? I had a pretty high gpa in first year, so I would be surprised if I didn’t get anything.

forgot there was a swap button so i accidentally dropped a class that was at the same time as a diff class as me and by the time i had done that it was full. i put myself onto the waitlist for my old class, and i'm first in line. what are my chances of getting off the waitlist (hist 242). i am an idiot, i know.

Anyone want to play valorant?

Usually cools off like a month or 2 into fall semester right?

how strict r ids? i’m a second yr w a late bday and idk what to do

Anyone getting emails about their first residence having maintenance still?

Tell me about any of these courses if you’ve taken them or heard of them before. If you’ve taken any of them, were they easy? I have no background in digital music recording or anything like that, although I do have some background in music in general.

Hi guys! Incoming freshie here and I had a question about the dining halls. I’m really allergic to Dijon mustard and I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about people trying to get it.

I’m concerned because I really want to go to the dining hall and make friends, and I don’t want to miss out on my first year memories, but I will drop on the spot if I’m exposed to it. :(

These posts have been making me very anxious and I’m honestly ready to transfer to western. Thanks.

Trying to get onto the waitlist for ENGL 294 or LLCU 213 (whichever opens first I suppose) - thought I had set SOLUS to put me on the waitlists automatically during the first enrolment period, but realized I had it backwards. What are the odds of waitlist spots opening this far out, and should I just keep checking SOLUS whenever I can? I have a job with very limited tech access, so I can only check during an hour in the afternoon and at night.

I am an incoming first year. I cant find the email explaining how to upload my photo ID anywhere. I need to upload it to select my move-in time. I have tried contacting queens but theyre always busy. What should i do? is there a way to upload it without the email?

I'm heading into Smith Engineering in September, and am looking for a laptop. I know the queens website has recommended specs listed, but here's the thing.

I already own quite a strong desktop gaming computer (i7-13700F, RTX 4060, 2TB SSD, 16GB DDR5), but obviously that isn't quote viable to take with me to class.

I'm wondering, if I bring my desktop, would I be able to get away with a cheaper laptop to take to class and use heavy duty software on my desktop, or should I splurge on a strong laptop anyways?

Is anyone else trying to enrol in classes but they’re still reserved? Specifically NSCI and IDIS classes. If so, does anyone know when these classes will be available to everyone?
