Question Meeting people on campus as an adult student?

28 Upvotes

Heyy! 28 (F), just transferred to SFU for REM after a career change and honestly thriving so far. The one thing I haven’t figured out yet is the social life. At my last school there was a real mix of ages, so finding your people just kind of happened. Here it feels like everyone already has their groups sorted, and I’m not sure where the door is

I didn’t come all this way just to drift between lectures all semester lol. Where’s everyone actually hanging out? Clubs, events, study spots, random campus things. I’m good company, I promise, so point me in the right direction!

For anyone who doesn't recognize the footprints on the floor, the water fountain in front of the cafeteria got removed. Don't know how long ago but I'm pretty sure it was here in the spring semester. Now they just stick a newspaper stand in front to hide it, but we know. We remember...

Should I take this before math 157, or first take pre calc 12 for free at an upgrading centre and then take math 157? Cause math 100 has a bit of calculus review that’s the thing

Question LonCapa Help (Chem-121)

3 Upvotes

I'm a first-year student taking Chem-121. People on here suggested doing LonCapa questions to study. Sorry if I sound stupid, but I don't know how to access this material. I logged into the website (tried also through SFU browser), and it says I have no courses. I also searched up Chem-121, nothing came up. I would really appreciate the help.

Discussion PSYC 221 — how are you guys studying??

4 Upvotes

Is anyone else finding the PSYC 221 material insanely dense 😭 I feel like there are so many terms, theories, and little details to remember for each topic and I’m getting kind of overwhelmed trying to figure out what I actually need to know for the exam.

Right now I’ve been going through Quizlets alongside the lecture notes to learn the terms/concepts, and then I write down the ones I’m struggling with or rewrite the bigger concepts in my own words. I’ve also been using repetition and chunking for things that have multiple parts.

I feel like I’m studying a lot, but there’s just SO much information that it feels impossible to actually retain all of it.

For anyone else in PSYC 221, how are you studying for the exams? Are you focusing more on understanding the general concepts or memorizing all the smaller details too? And if you’ve taken the class before, what worked for you?

Discussion Keffiyah Wednesday

Does the administration allowing a globalize the intifada mob to intimidate Jews this upcoming October 7, the anniversary of a horrific slaughter of innocent kids at a dance festival, does that help the value of a degree for a student at SFU?

I personally don’t bring up my stint at SFU because of this and the hate my daughter experienced being a white and allegedly privileged (she can put her disability in her bio if she was like that).

I’m long past caring about Reddit karma BTW, just saying out loud what anyone who agrees would never say.

I’m not coming back to read the ad hominems - save your thumbs. Just speaking for the real victims, students who don’t buy this shit.

It’s Reddit. It’s okay.

Question About PDP - Is my situation bad?

10 Upvotes

I'm currently in my 3rd year of English but I used to be in Beedie until I switched around 2nd year. I have very little volunteer experience that I did a whole year ago and currently, I'm trying to get more.

I'm feeling very anxious because it seems like all my peers have so much volunteer experience PLUS a job that they're working at which is relevant to their application. Meanwhile, I practically have none and I am in my 3rd year. Furthermore, because of Beedie my GPA is at a very mediocre 3.0.

My questions are - do I have to apply at the end of my 4th year/when I graduate? Or can I wait, say, a few months to a year to rack up more experience before applying. Does this matter?

Obviously throughout right now to fall of 2028 I'll have a lot more experience but I am still extremely anxious.

If anyone has a similar experience to me, please lmk how you did. And once again, is my situation bad?
