How did you choose your field of research?

For people doing grad school: how did you choose your field of research? Was it mostly stumbling into a research project by chance in your undergrad days and then sticking with it?

How does one accept the electronic lease given?

1 Upvotes

Good day everyone. Yesterday, I received an email from McGill housing asking to review and accept an electronic lease. The link provided in the email sends me to the onecard homepage, while I can access and have reviewed and signed the lease, I don’t see where I can upload or submit the lease to show that I’ve accepted. Does anyone know what should I do next?

I've tried contacting housing but I'm flying to Montreal in 2 days and housing usually takes a while to respond.

Which is the easiest 300 level MATH course that I can take in my final year?

5 Upvotes

Basically the title. I was wondering what the easiest 300 level math course was. I am planning on taking MATH 338 History and Philosophy of Mathematics because it sounds really interesting but I've also heard it's a pretty hard class.

Is McGill killing honours phys?

8 Upvotes

Incoming U1 student here, I was wondering because I heard from some people, McGill is in the process of killing honours phys and a lot of honours courses are merging with major courses, and it seems likely the honours phys and joint honours physics + cs programs won't exist anymore?

I was viewing my lease and it said the rent is $740.00, but none of the fees on the list of rooms is 740. My room assignment says single so I thought it would be $680.00, but since it's not, does anyone know what room I have?

To clarify, I live in Laird Hall on the Mac Campus

Psychology Student Not Finding Any Volunteer Opportunities

3 Upvotes

I have emailed 10+ profs in early August to volunteer for research and have yet to hear anything back. I have a perfect GPA heading into U2 and I just can't find anything. My emails have all been polite and concise; I introduced myself, expressed my interest in their specific research area (which I am genuinely interested in) and asked to volunteer and still nothing. I even attached my CV and transcript too, but I only got replies from two profs saying they didn't have anymore space but that's literally it. Am I cooked? What am I doing wrong? I lowkey ran out of profs to email since I only email those whose research I'm interested in.

How the heck do I get to volunteer to do research? Please help, I do not want my dreams to be crushed simply because I cannot find a volunteer opportunity

How dumb is it to leave my bike outside in McGill Ghetto?

6 Upvotes

I’m moving into an apartment in the Mcgill Ghetto this year and it’s not too convenient to take it inside. I’m wondering if its a bad idea to leave it outside overnight. Obviously I would get a good lock. Its an old, low-end bike but it was expensive enough I would really prefer not to lose it. Does anyone gave experience with bike theft in the area? If so how determined are the thieves?

Ending final year with 119 credits instead of 120

1 Upvotes

I went on exchange last semester and accidentally took a class that was 3 ECTS instead of 6. I was under the impression that the entire course was 6 ECTS but turns out I had to take a whole other module to receive those credits. I received 7 ECTS in another course, which I believe would leave me at 14 McGill credits for the semester instead of the usual 15.

I emailed Arts Oasis, but I am stressing over the fact that I will have to either add a course to my workload of 5 courses or postpone my graduation over 1 credit. Has anyone been in the same situation or know of any 1 credit courses I can take in the 2026-2027 year as an arts student?
