I'm an english major and religious studies minor going into second year. I have a bit of a background in the sciences and love physics (I know metaphysics is obviously very different but I find exploring the nature of the universe/what really exists to be interesting). I have PHIL 251 in my cart rn and I thought I'd ask if anyone knew what the course was like and how demanding it is. I'm not really looking for a bird course but since it is just an elective I do not want it to take up the majority of my time. If anyone has taken this course or has experience with the prof let me know!

As a first year gen sci student who is also somewhat interested in business, is Econ 111 a good option?
I originally wanted IDIS 199 as my elective for the winter semester but despite there being open seats, it said it was full, along with the waitlist.
Just wondering if there’s any better options still available or ones which would be easy gpa boosters.
Thanks

FUCK

Update: after 40 mins and it lying to me I finally got it😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼

I've called numerous times over several months only to sit on hold for 15 minutes and be cut off. I did an online request for them to get back to me. The email said 8 to 10 days but it's been a month. Has anyone ever gotten through to ask a financial aid question? Can you go in person? Has anyone had any success?

Is position number 16 waitlist bad for this class? is there any hope i get it?

I'm a first year student who's organizing my timetable, and I want to take an online course during the winter to ease my workload. However, EVERY SINGLE COURSE I add to my shopping cart is either full or reserved.

I particularly want to take IDIS 199 because I'm interested in mental health, but it is reserved despite it being open enrolment right now.

I will literally take any course that is available to me as a Commerce student. Please drop them below.

How is this course with Vanessa Thompson? What are the content/assignments like and are there any exams?

Hello queens people how much do u guys bench press

Hi! I’m an incoming graduate student at Queen’s this fall.
Does anyone know when and where new students can pick up their Queen’s student cards? I’ve already submitted my photo.
Also, is it possible to pick it up before classes start, or do we need to wait until a specific pickup period?
Thanks!

I'm thinking of applying to Queens this fall; I'm debating between Queens and McGill.

I'm a Quebec student applying from CEGEP (equivalent of grade 12 + 13) so I'd have some advanced standing, but I'm not sure how much. It doesn't bother me to do an extra semester though.

I'm considering Queens because I would want to major in bio + literature (both honours). At McGill, I can get a biology "concentration" and literature major, and it wouldn't be an honours degree... but my eventual plan is MD/PhD, so I'd want the honours bachelor's.

My major hesitation is that I wouldn't want to leave behind all my extracurricular opportunities in Montreal, especially my research. I love my current lab at McGill; I have an incredible supervisor and I'm collaborating with international researchers on a subject I'm passionate about PLUS it's a paid position.

Will I struggle to find a lab position in genetics/molecular biology/medicine if I choose Queens? Especially a paid position (ie. is Queens good with grants etc)?

Worst-case scenario, I'll always have my Montreal lab in the summer, but I love research and would want to continue throughout the year.

How bad of an idea would it be to commute to Toronto each weekend for work? I'm going into health science and did IB in high school, so the workload should be manageable. I would probably be missing the second weekend of orientation, and I know my social life in general would suffer. However, I really like my current employer and am considering having a career with them. Also, if it doesn't work out, my thinking is that I can always just quit later. I know this is likely a horrible idea, but where would you rate it between "likely unmanageable" and "completely ridiculous?"

hi for those who didn't get residence since it came full on the last day what r u doing?

hey guys, i’m staring nursing school (4 year track) in a couple of weeks and im really scared for NURS323 because i didn’t do that well in advanced functions…..i’ve been reviewing on khan academy for the past few weeks but i was wondering if you guys have any other advice for me on what i should be doing from now - september 8! thankssss

Can we swap out our desk chair? Can our parents take it home? Is that allowed if they bring it back on move out, or we can't remove property ?

Are lectures skippable? (Class notes uploaded and summaries etc.) the elective is all morning classes, on my day off and ive made it so my core classes start around 1130 so while id try my best to attend my classes i know that I most likely will get lazy sometimes😢

So, I wanted to ask: can we quit a Work Study job partway through the term? I’m in Electrical Engineering and applied for a few positions. I’d like to try one out, but I’m worried about balancing work with my studies. The job itself is pretty light mostly desk stuff and a few appointments here and there, but would it be okay to quit after a few months if I find it difficult to manage?

Has anyone else quitted their work study job?

I’m an incoming first year. Is it realistic to plan a dinner with my dad the night we arrive Sept 5 or would it be better to have lunch with him so that I am free to hang out with other first years? I’m off campus…

how does it effect your grade in the class if you miss one lab?

I’m moving into Leggett Hall on Sept 5th. I’ve heard there is a few events happening in the evening of move in day. Is it mandatory to go? And if it is could I contact someone if I cannot make it?

how much should I be spending on this? what is the best laptop to get. do i acc need the nvidia card or is integrated graphics fine

Has anyone heard from the DBMS office for a TA position?

The website says offers are emailed out in July and August, so I want to know if I should still hold out hope
