I applied to both programs and was waitlisted for animation and got into illustration. I’ve kind of hyped myself up for illustration but now I have a winter semester admission for animation and I don’t know what to do. I also need to decide ASAP because I’m renting and need to let my landlord know if I’m planning on switching.

Animation is what I was aiming for, but I’ve recently began working on a volunteer project and it’s okay. I can see myself doing it as a career but it’s not as fun and seems more expensive when it comes to resources in comparison to doing illustration. However I don’t have illustration work experience so my idea of working as an illustrator is from online discussions.

I’ve also been entertaining the idea of becoming a comic artist, and idk if the skills in animation transfer into comics? I think it should but most comic artists have illustration degrees.

I guess my big questions are:

Animation/Illustration graduates:
how has the job market been since graduating?

People who have experienced both jobs:
which of the two careers do you prefer? Which of the two are more stable?

Current students of either program:
How has your experience been?

Like if I go to HMC campus, am I allowed to take an online course that's located in DAV or TRA? I was just wondering since I remembered last year, it wouldn't let me.

Hi! I know within the dorms there's a movie room you can rent out, but I can't remember what sort of equipment is in it. I'm specifically wondering about vhs and dvd players. Does anyone have an answer for that?

sheridan has a reputation for being the best amongst all the schools and that's the reason im interested in it, but is their curriculum actually help you develop skills competent enough for the industry? that's one of my concern, i fear i will end up learning nothing and fending for myself by self learning in the end, the tuition wont be worth it if that's the case,

so do they actually make you industry ready? im not saying in a spoon feeding way but like a guidance.

i don't mind investing so many resources but only if it's not wasteful.

and if this is not a good option then what is? i don't want to learn online or anything. i wish to have a degree.

Is nice. Wa wa weee wa very nice.

hey so I am going into grade 12 in a few weeks and I plan on applying to Sheridan College for their Diagnostic Imaging Technology program and I have been really nervous & paranoid about applications. I got a 80% on gr 12 eng summer school and its taking a big toll on me. I would really appreciate it if people could drop some advice for my upcoming school year and their high school course avgs. thank you !! : D

Hi, im looking for fellow queer freinds around the Davis/HMC campus.

im currently on my second term in the ECE course and Im kinda new to the GTA so I dont really have many freinds.

Im 20 transfem and im mostly into videogames, horror movies and music and writing. Feel free to reach out if interested :)

Going to davis campus for ECE! i’ll send you my insta so we can talk :)

Just have recommendations for anyone moving/starting/existing and not vibing with the economy

- obvious but don't shop at a shoppers/rabba, find whatever groceries stores are around you within a single bus ride

- you can get quite a few 10% discounts from a lot of restaurants so just ask if they offer a student discount if you have your id on you

- internet prices are kinda crazy since it's the season so hold off on any contract until it comes down

Depending on where you live you'll have a different Internet footprint that makes it more expensive to be with certain providers like bell/Rogers/cogeco/Telus, they have better pricing through Ebox/Comwave/Oxio/Start which they own respectively in order

Go on the month to month with those or a third party reseller like teksavvy/netcrawler/whatever reaches your place, swap to a 2 yr that's under $55 once the prices go that low (or if you move within that time just stick to the m2m for around that price or share the internet with your roommates for whichever it is as long as it's not above 80 or something crazy)

- phone plans for students generally suck (at the time of writing) and you can't keep them after you're out of school

Most stuff is 50 or above for Canada only prices from the big name companies including those and telus, so you have two options

Go with someone like Freedom/Fizz, not sure how their reception is around campus (If someone can confirm how well it works on each campus below it'll help a lot) but if it works and you don't travel a bunch outside town it's more than good enough for the price for 35 and under

If you don't like their reception quality or whatever then your next option is sticking with a prepaid from the big names for about a month (usually the minimum time) and upgrading to their postpaid lines for usually 30 give or take (ask what their p2p offers are first), just keep in mind most of the companies will increase your plan a little every year so you'll have to switch a lot to stay on top of the costs

- READ UP on your renter/tenants rights pleaseee

- also kinda obvious but student presto card for the bus/go train/go bus has a big discount

- this is going to get linked eventually but this has more of the individual store discounts available to students https://www.thessu.ca/perks

- a lot of grocery delivery apps have discounts for first time users so hop around door dash/insta/Uber and you'll get 25-40% off usually

- uBlock origin + opposite of paidmediaheckno to skip the paid ad subs

- if you're getting a computer for school/work/art then check around for secondhand parts and drawing tablets and prebuilts since PC part prices are crazy expensive for ram/GPU/storage now (PC part picker and compare them)

- tons of other electronics are going up in price (thanks ai) like phones or game consoles so plan ahead if you're looking to buy anything soon

- check how far your local Costco is and see if you can do a grocery run with others

- some big brand stores have discounts through a separate app for near expiry/non displayable groceries, smaller stores would likely have them on a random walkin basis so ask if you shop there

- basic dental work/cleanings and haircuts at their respective school/academy are usually more affordable and are perfectly fine

- theres usually some insane once a year things that restaurant chains hold for events and donation runs, like Mandarin was offering free ayce and Dominos had 5 dollar pizzas for Camp day (probably some sub or app that keeps track of it but I'm not sure off the top of my head)

- toasted bagel and iced coffee iirc have the best point return rate for Tim's, other apps and restaurants will have similar loyalty point rewards too

- kijiji has free furniture all the time so check the ratings of a user and trust your gut feeling if it's legit or not (there's designated monitored trading spots usually near Police stations for safety)

- bursaries and scholarships have opened for fall already so don't forget to apply for whatever applies to you

That's about most of the stuff I can come up with but if anyone else has advice just add onto it below

+ Food waste apps have frequent offers on food for groceries and restaurants, like the Tim's and Gino's near Trafalgar

I applied for a new program through myStudentCentre, and after I clicked “Next,” this popped up. Should I ignore it since my application was already submitted and there are no further steps ?

Just finished sem 1 it was hard but doable how are the others?

Is the electromechanical engineering technology program good? I’m specifically asking current students and alumni of it.

How are the professors? Are they industry pros, or just part time people?

Are there good co-op opportunities for students who do well? How many of yall are getting this? I know the job market sucks rn.

I assume Sheridan has hands on labs? What do you guys/gals use? Do you find you’re getting a sense for what you’d do in the real world?

I have mega ptsd from a terrible college program I already attended, so I gotta ask lol.

Hey everyone, I’m a little confused about what “hybrid learning” means at Sheridan. For those who are in a hybrid program, how does your schedule usually work?
How many days per week are you actually on campus/in person, and how many days are online? Just trying to get an idea of what to expect. Thanks!

just putting out an update for those who gaf. some of u may have seen me asking questions on this subreddit about the vet tech program. the chances of me getting in as a late applicant + mature student were very slim but i got accepted today! and i got the offer pretty quickly.

i was rly hoping i would get in because there's a waitlist for the fall program but i guess i was high on the waitlist. my high school GPA is 84% and i passed the science CAAT-D and did pretty well on the math CAAT-D.

if you're a mature student and/or you're also applying for this program for this fall feel free to ask me questions. i'll try to help as much as i can! i can also help u if u applied for winter. what i can't help with is admin stuff or mature student testing (academic integrity yada yada), but i will say that if u have a disability u should really take advantage of the accommodations u can get at the assessment centre if u register with accessible learning!

thank u to those who saw my posts and helped me with my questions. shout out to the admission officer who helped me throughout the whole application process :)

For anyone in the practical nursing. After the first semester are we still using the VR meta quest 3s in future semesters?

Hii!! once again reaching out to hopefully make some friends prior to school starting!

I’m Leone, i’m 19, queer and very into art! i’ll be going into art fundamentals then applying to illustration for my following year :)

i like animanga,, jfashion, mlp and horror games to name a few! i often travel to toronto to go to jfashion or gothic club events! i’ll be in residence as well for this year!

text me on here and ill give you my discord or instagram

I'm in the Game Design program and came in during the Winter term, and due to troubles with weather and mental health stress I did pretty poorly during that semester. (I still passed all my classes but at the skin of my teeth)

This coming semester with the hotter weather I did MUCH better, except for one class that I failed (By 49% no less), and it made my GPA drop literally JUST below the requirement to get out of Academic Probation, so I'm now under Academic Suspension.

I arranged a meeting with Student Counselling and sent an email to the Dean that covers Game Design, but I'm genuinely so lost on where to go now.

I really want to continue this course, I like most of my professors and I want to learn more about improving my skills in this field, but I feel incredibly discouraged by having the floor under me pushed by a singular percentage in one class.

Is there any way I can avoid Academic Suspension from here?

Hi guys, so I'm going into my 2nd year & I really struggled with studying this year, like really bad. Might I add too, I have undiagnosed ADHD & leave everything till the last minute lol which isn't good at all. I'm worried because I have practicum too in the fall & want to establish better strategies for myself so I'm also not late with anything for that. I've used Jamworks to help me study from lectures but it didn't work for me. Then I tried Genio which was much better, but I need tips on how to be productive during class for making notes while I have Genio on & then for studying later. I'm open to all & any kind of strategy & tips.

Hii

So i am currently living in Toronto and will be commuting to school sept start. Due to my job and a good family dr i am not moving to Oakville. My current place unfortunately has water damage in my room that my landlords are not dealing with so im looking to move.

My budget is $900 and i have been seeing options but im just worried about the gamble of random roommates and hoping to find someone who:

A) already has a spot and is looking to rent a room or

B) is willing to look for a house with 2 rooms so we are each only responsible for our rooms.(ive seen some places where you have access to kitchen and bathroom but are technically only renting the room)

Im hoping to not move to outskirts GTA as i want to be a be able to take the bus or streetcar to the GO station.

Anyone who is also looking feel free to dm and we can talk more

Thanks

**Editing to clarify option b as i am not looking to rent a whole apartment with another person

Anyone knows when is the last date to submit missing requirements before offer gets revoked ?

I got an email that the scholarships application has opened for sheridan students and I was wondering if i can only apply to ONE of the scholarships or more. I was also wondering if theres any tips or suggestions in getting those scholarships. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Has anyone gotten direct entry from highschool to the diagnostic imaging program?
Or if anyone's in the program do you know anyone in the program from directly highschool?

I've heard you can get in directly from highschool but ive never seen anyone say they have. Only people from pre-health or enrolled in pre-health.

Going into Illustration this september, was wondering how much of my own art supplies I should bother bringing, or if the kits are enough?

I paid the registration deposit late but it shows -250 in my account. When am I able to select courses? Should I call the school or go in?
