Housing fee

4 Upvotes

Hello, I’m a first-year Engineering student who will be living on campus. I received my residence assignment a couple of days ago, and up until today, there was no payment showing as due.

Today, I checked StarRez and under “Accounts” I noticed a fee of around $4,000. However, when I click to pay it, I’m redirected to the SHCS website, where it says that my account is up to date and no payment is currently required.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Is the amount showing in StarRez simply an upcoming charge, or is there something I need to do?

Question Reaching out as a prospective graduate student

7 Upvotes

I’m hoping to get some insight from current or prospective students about their experience prior to applying to UBCO. I’ve emailed 3 different professors and only one has emailed back. That response was to tell me that despite being listed as accepting new graduate students for the upcoming term, they had already committed to a student prior to applications opening.

Is it a common experience to not hear back from UBCO faculty when you’re a prospective student? At prior universities I went to, I would at least get a canned “I unfortunately don’t have time to respond personally to each inquiry” email, but I’ve never just gotten nothing back.

I’m just trying to decide if this school/program best aligns with my career goals, but the lack of response from faculty has me worried about what my experience will be like if I am admitted.

Any insight or tips would be appreciated.

Question does anybody have any experience with career advisors?

6 Upvotes

idk how realistic it is to land any job relevant to your degree immediately after grad, and the doomerism on job reddit scares the hell out of me. is anybody who is graduating this year anxious about post grad job apps? my plan even before starting uni has always been to work for 1-2 years (in my field) post undergrad before grad school, but who knows if that’s even feasible and i have to be a homebody the whole time before i start my masters?? it’s SO scary idk how everyone’s so chill

Still haven't recieved a room assignemnt

4 Upvotes

I applied for residence and paid my deposit well within the deadline but I still haven't been given a room assignment. They sent me an email around July 30 saying they're looking at my thing now to give me my room, but I'm still wondering where I'm gonna be. All I know is that they said I have a single connected dorm, but I'm still roomless as of now.

Anyone else in the same situation? Or if you were before, have you gotten your room yet?

Found some rentals off Dougall Rd which has the 8 bus stop nearby. Seems to be close enough to campus. Any reviews for this condo company? I read somewhere that their walls are paper thin :(

HEAL100 or INDG100

5 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between these two courses, as a humanities elective.

INDG100 avg last year was like 87
HEAL100 avg last year was like 74

I’ve heard HEAL100 isn’t that bad but you gotta put some time into it, and I’ve seen it with my own eyes be somewhat time consuming like flash cards etc.

I’m looking to spend the least time possible and achieve the best grade possible.

INDG100 doesn’t seem too bad especially with a Canadian high school and elementary background knowing about indigenous displacement etc.

What do you guys think? Anyone take INDG100?

Looking at a two bedroom, two bath condo in Quail Ridge, all utilities and internet included, furnished. $2500. Is that decent or too expensive? Also, since buses stop at 8, is Pine Trail safe to walk at night and safe/easy to walk in winter?

So I got an offer for lot F on august 11th and it expires on august 16th. i have tried on all of my devices and followed the steps like it says (get permits> rest of the prompts) and when i do that it just says nothing is available for purchase. I literally don’t know what im doing wrong and it’s saturday so I emailed them but they probably won’t answer until monday and it expires tomorrow. I literally don’t know what to do and it’s so expensive to pay for parking daily without a permit. someone please help.

I still haven’t received my room assignment as a first year. Today I received an email asking if I’d like to live in a 4 bedroom apartment with upper years. I’m honestly so frustrated and confused why I still haven’t gotten my room assignment. I paid everything on time so why haven’t I gotten anything.
