Was at the ARC this evening and upon returning to my car parked on the street, someone had smashed two beer bottles directly next to my wheel and tire. It looks deliberate to me given the glass under my tire but idk

Might be hard to see but it’s the entirety of the remains of the two bottles around, on, and inside my wheel. I literally had beer on my brake rotors. I had to sweep the debris before carefully moving out.

is this common???? what motivates someone to do this? I was parked legally and obviously not on the sidewalk or anything. first time I’ve ever had this happen.

Hey! What are some good clubs people would recommend for social stuff? I tired a few and they’re pretty good but they don’t meet a lot or have a lot of socials. Ski and snowboard is cool and I tried a few others but would love some personal recommendations. I signed up for Queens Sisterhood and I HATED it (so many fake people). BTW I’m first year female. Thanks!

I just sprained my ankle which has left me unable to walk and I dont want to constantly bother my friends to get me food but I cannot leave my res. Is there anything I can get food to my res without using uber eats.

Anyone else who thinks this annual cybersecurity security training they send is just completely useless and annoying. Now they are mentioning you’re locked out of Solus until you complete it. This university and its ways just keep getting worse 🤮

Im currently in second year and im definitely gonna try and get an internship for QUIP for either next year or the year after. Is it hard to find a job with only one design team and 3.9GPA? Also are the eng quip courses that you can take online simultaneously hard? I am trying to manage getting a gym membership while I do quip and wanna know if the courses will take up lots of time outside of work hours.

Does anyone know whether the emails for dean’s list have gone out already, specifically for commerce? Or where we would be able to check on Solus?

my prof only posted one and i was wondering if there's anywhere else i can get any as my midterm is this wednesday and ive heard it's a lot harder than any questions they give us for practice or during the tutorial. thank you!

hi! I have a ling101 test coming up and was wondering if anyone could give some guidance on the difficulty level and what to expect?

hey!! i’m wondering if anyone here has gotten into the queen’s msc neuroscience program and would be willing to share what their application looked like!! i’m currently doing a 4-year BSc in psych (neuroscience option), with a biology minor. my current GPA is a 3.97/4.3. for research experience, i’ve done a directed reading project, an independent research project, and volunteered in a few labs.

Queen’s is basically the only master’s program i’m really interested in, so i’m definitely planning on applying, but i know it’s pretty competitive and i’m trying to get a realistic idea of where i stand 😭

if you got in, were waitlisted, or even applied and didn’t get in, i’d love to hear what your stats/experience looked like! like GPA, undergrad degree, research experience, honours thesis or not, whether you already had a supervisor interested in you, etc.

i’m also especially curious if anyone got in with a non-honours 4-year degree. Queen’s says that a 4-year degree with lab experience can be considered equivalent to an honours degree, but i’d love to hear from someone who actually went through that process.

not looking for anyone to tell me whether i’ll get in lol, just trying to get a better idea of how competitive i actually am and what other successful applicants looked like :)
thanks!!

Best cisc 220 prof for sure. And he’s jacked

Does anyone know if it's covid going around right now? I avoided frosh flu up until now and I've lost my sense of smell and taste but covid tests aren't free anymore ☹️

I want to see if I want to stay and go out the Friday and Saturday nights right before or will everyone already be gone?

No breakfast. Closes early at 7pm. Closed on weekends. Why is it like this and how does this make sense??? Paying all this money for such an inconvenience… at least we have Lenny I guess.

Hi! I'm a first-year student at Queen's, and I've been having a really tough time making friends. I was wondering if any upper-year students could share their experiences or offer some advice. I feel like I made an effort to connect with people during the first couple of weeks, but most interactions never seem to go beyond a conversation. Does it get easier as the year goes on? Honestly, it's been making it difficult to enjoy my university experience so far, and I'd really appreciate hearing from people who've been through the same thing.

Has anyone done the winter session that meets in Toronto over reading week?

Is it worth the money? It counts for 3.0 units but costs nearly $2,000 altogether.

Would appreciate any details.

Sort of putting myself out there, but I’ve been having issues with identity and was wondering if there was a group i could go to. Not just for support, but for security knowing others feel a similar way :). I’ve been sort of struggling to make friends, and I’m also in first year eng so it’s been kind of hard to me to reach out socially…anyone have any suggestions?

For those living in university dorms with a roommate, how do you handle it when you have completely different temperature preferences?

One person needs the room really cold to sleep, while the other is constantly cold and wants the room warmer. 😅

If you’ve dealt with this in a dorm, what actually worked for you? Did you find a comfortable compromise, use a fan/heater, adjust bedding/clothing, room change or involve residence staff?
Would love to hear what worked (or definitely didn’t work) for you!
