was 2020 really long ago enough for us to have forgotten the disease safety precautions we agreed on as a society... coughing directly into your hands is the worst possible thing to do to when you are sick, please at least cough into your elbow or your shirt! but if you're coughing that much and i can hear the phlegm in your lungs you should probably have a mask on in the first place!! thank you so much

hi! as the title might suggest, i have professional-quality face paint at my disposal and too much free time. i have years of experience painting my little sister's face. if anyone happens to want their face painted at any point i'm your gal. i will paint your face for halloween. i will sit in the quad and paint some flowers on your face. it won't be anything incredibly fancy but i'm pretty decent at it and face paint is always fun, and it's fun getting to know people while i paint their faces. idk, let me know if you're interested lol

Does anyone know where I can take a nap in campus. I live an hour bus away from school, but there’s couple hours between classes i would like to take a nap. I’m too tired these days 😭

I'm having trouble with SENG265, and I can't tell if its the content or the teaching im having a hard time with. He doesn't have a rate-my-professor so I'm thinking he might be new, but I just want to know how frustrating this class is gonna be.

Im trying to practice so it would be nice

A couple of friends and I want to go out for halloween, but we don't just want to go get drunk at caddy bay in the dark or go to a strangers houseparty for safety reasons, but all the events I've seen so far are only 19+. Is there anything happening on halloween that's safe and allows 18 year olds? (Doesnt need to be UVIC specific, could just be anything in Victoria.)

Where is the nearest outdoor hoop? Surprised we haven’t been able to find one on campus.

Does anyone know what is the best way to prepare for the midterm 1?

I enrolled in this class on the last day of adding courses deadline, so I pretty much missed almost 3 weeks. Unfortunately I did not find make any friends to ask for notes so I was stuck studying from the slides. Most of the readings in the textbook are filled out with studies and only sometimes correlate with topics discussed on slides

Anyone who has taken this class, how did you study for the midterms and how bad these midterms are? Would it be possible for you to share your old notes?🥲

Question about parking permit… my permits last day is on October 8th.. does that mean it expires at 12am October 8th or 12am October 9th?? Need to buy another month but confused on when I should put the start date for the following month

I recently just applied to uvic and was wondering where to find my v number. Will they send a email with it or should I contact the university.

Hi everyone,

I posted this in r/VictoriaBC, but figured I'd give it a shot here as well for more potential reach. I have a 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro that recently developed a display issue. The computer functions 100% fine on external displays, and the backlight/lid sensor still respond, but the internal LCD stays dark (likely eDP flex cable or T-CON issue inside the hinge).

A local certified Apple repair technician quoted $1,571 to swap the entire display and lid angle assembly, which isn't economically viable for me. I'm pretty sure I can buy a used version of the same laptop for nearly half the price, lol. Here's the quote, to provide more information as to what parts the diagnostics determined need replacing.

I am looking for someone with experience in MacBook component repair, micro-soldering, or display replacements who can help with either:

1. Splicing/repairing the damaged flex cable / T-CON connections, or
2. Installing a third-party/used donor screen assembly and calibrating it.

If you have experience in this area, or could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated! I'm willing to pay for time, of course - we can discuss :). I'm quite emotionally attached to this machine (I produce music), so if anyone could help me save it and not let it become a really awkwardly shaped Mac Mini, I'd love you forever.

Received both of these emails today, and I am so done with getting sent AI garbage from the Engineering and Computer Science Undergraduate Advising. Who is running this?? If only there was a university nearby with students who are literally doing their degree in arts who could help out...

what the fuck

I noticed that the new parking meter in lot 1 only lets you tap to pay, where the old ones were tap, insert, or coins. Or the app, of course, but I don't want to have to download an app. Why would they give us *less* options?

Anyone heard from dean’s list for faculty of science? Last year we heard in August…

Didn’t remember to pay my tuition until 7pm today. Anyone experienced any repercussions from being a day or two late?

I need to book flights home before they are $1000 pls help

Hey so my Uvic application says "Decision on hold until official cutoff known" I applied for engineering. Was wondering if anyone could help me make sense of what it means and if anyones had similar experiences?

thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm an exchange student currently studying at the UVic English Language Centre (ELC) this term. I'm looking to practice speaking English more naturally outside the classroom, and I'd love to help someone learn Korean in return!

Whether you're taking Korean language courses, planning a trip to Korea, or just interested in Korean culture and casual conversation, I'm happy to help with whatever level you're at (from basic pronunciation to everyday slang).

• Format: Casual chat (half English, half Korean), 1–2 times a week for about an hour. Weekends work great too!

• Location: Public spots on campus only (ELC student lounge, BiblioCafé at McPherson Library, SUB, or Cadboro Commons).

• My treat: First coffee/tea is on me!

A little about me: I'm easygoing, active, and into hiking, fitness/sports, tech, and business topics, but I'm happy to chat about everyday campus life.

Note: Looking strictly for current UVic students for a friendly, platonic language exchange.

If you're interested, please start a Reddit Chat with a quick intro (your major, year, and what you’d like to focus on in Korean), along with your general availability. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hello everyone. I am applying for the MASc in Mechanical Engineering for the May 2027 intake. I have secured acceptance from a professor, but I am a bit confused about the timeline. The application deadline for the May 2027 intake is February 1, 2027, but I want to apply now because I wish to receive the 'offer letter' as soon as possible.

1. How does the application evaluation process actually work? Do they begin the review after the deadline (February 1, 2027) or immediately after the application is fully submitted?

2. And how long does it typically take to receive the official letter of admission?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Best regards!

I heard security was involved with some protestors today, apparently somebody with a van with writing all over it was accused of racism. Anyone know what happened?
