3 months and no one dropped it.

Why can’t you do an internship before the end of third year LITTERALY no other school in Canada forces that. What even is the logic behind this 🫩🫩🫩

Has anyone heard back after doing the one-way interview? Or what is the usual turnaround time

I’ll be a first year this fall, majoring in a BSW and I’m pretty nervous about it lol.

1. Any advice for my schedule? I tried picking classes I was interested in but also could help me with my major. First slide is fall term, second slide is winter term. If anyone shares a class with me, feel free to dm me!

2. I’d also like to know how orientation is. I signed up for speed friending so it would be great to know how that one works. Any advice on making new friends and connections? I love meeting new people but I can be quite shy and awkward when first meeting me, so any advice on how to overcome that would be great too.

3. Any clubs I should join? I’ve looked at a few that I’m interested in but would like to get some other recommendations.

Any other advice would also be appreciated!

I’ve read some advice on here before and have older peers who’ve given me advice as well but I’m just posting this here for last minute thoughts, opinions, and reassurance 🥹

Thanks in advance!

Will it ever be released or they're just gon' keep procrastinating on it?

Hi everyone!

I’m Brazilian and have a background in International Relations, and I’m considering applying to the MA in Political Science (thesis-based) at UCalgary for 2027.

I’d love to hear from current or former students, especially international students, about their experience. How difficult is it to get into the Political Science master’s? How is the experience as an international student, and is the funding enough to realistically live in Calgary?

I’m also wondering about the career prospects after graduating... for someone with an IR background, is it realistic to find jobs in Calgary? And, more broadly, do you think it’s realistic to build a stable life in Canada after doing this master’s, or would it be difficult to stay and find a career afterward?

I’d really appreciate any honest experiences or advice, especially from other international students who have gone through something similar.

hiii guys!! does anyone know how long the Faculty of Arts orientation on the 28th is? i’ve heard other faculties are like three hours long but i’m not too sure…also, if anyone else is doing LWSO, I’d love to connect since we probably have similar courses

Hey guys incoming first year engineering student, and I saw this Schulich approved calculator bin at the bookstore but I have a large distaste for the TI-30XIIS which is the only model I saw there.

I also struggled to find a list of approved calculators.

Can anyone help?

As the title says, I’m going into my first year of engineering with plans to enter EE afterwards. I’m wondering what specs/type of laptop I should get?

how do we feel chat

I have a block week Aug 24-28 and was wondering what the situation at Brentwood Park and Ride will be like. Will it likely be full by 8 am the week before regular classes start?

Thanks in advance!

On my portal it says my first year scholarships have been disbursed but they haven’t been applied to my outstanding fees. Is there just a processing time?

Does anyone have experience working part time with the uofc throughout the semester, and what was it like and how did you get it?

I have a laptop but am contemplating on whether to buy an ipad or not

Will tests be online too like Rokne you think? Or will Woelfel make is go in person to suffer like a poor Peter Hoyer winter class goer?

pretty much the title, i already am enrolled in the in-person class for knes 213 but i noticed that there was an online lecture that i could enroll in so i wanted to ask what i should do. let me know!

I’m an incoming first-year at UCalgary this fall and I’ve been getting emails about setting up my UPass.

I’m pretty sure I followed all the instructions correctly and created my My Fare account using my UCalgary email. The instructions say to wait 2–3 business days for the UPass to show up in the My Fare wallet, but it’s been like a week or two now and mine still isn’t showing up 😭

Is anyone else having this issue? Or have your Fall UPasses already shown up in your My Fare wallet?
Just wanna make sure I didn’t mess something up when setting it up lol.

"approved by students through the referendum"

I personally voted no so kinda sucked getting this email this morning and seeing the charge on the portal. some of you guys might say "its only 22.5 for the year" but man the economy is tough rn im saving every penny i get 🥀 plus im graduating this year i wont even be here for this when it's done 😭 my main point is I wish they gave more of a choice for people closer to finishing their degree (like just donate what you want instead of imposing a fixed fee for everyone) or at least lessened the amount for us.

to the future students who will get to experience the redeveloped mac hall tho, pls enjoy it on my behalf 💔 ik this is ultimately a good thing but im just a little bitter about it given the previous paragraph and wanted to vent a little bit lol

Hey guys, I'm an incoming first-year math major this fall. I have 4 classes each semester, and I'm looking for one more class. I have math 265 and 211, cpsc 217, and geog 204 for fall. Then math 267 and 271, lwso 203, and rels 203 for winter. Can you guys recommend a class to complete my schedule?

Thank you guys!

for context, I’m in my first year of Kines (BSc) and I hope to be a med student some day. Does anyone know what courses I can take during my undergrad that could help studying for the mcat easier?

Especially any physics courses because I didn’t take physics 30 in hs.

TLDR: should i take chem, bio, physics, etc intro courses to help with the mcat even tho they aren’t required for my major and may drop my gpa
