I'm starting at carleton soon for civil engineering and was wondering how powerful of a laptop I really need (for first year at least). I have a macbook air m2 right now and i'm a bit worried it might not be powerful enough mainly since it only has 8gb of ram? If any upper year civ eng students have any experience using one for first year please lmk!!

Hey everyone! I’m a reporter for Carleton’s independent newspaper, the Charlatan. I’m working on a story about the intersection of mental health and addiction faced by Ottawa residents. If you’d be comfortable being a named source, please pm me or comment. Thank you very much!

Just wondering if id be able to visit campus on my own and get familiar with it before classes start? Over the last year I had already gone through a few tours and I'd like to roam through the campus on my own to see in depth where I need to go for my classes...is that allowed?

How long does it usually take for professors to post the course content

(incoming sciences student) what do i do if i need a lab coat for my courses but theyre sold out?? can i get a lab coat from another place or does it have to be from the campus store?

I signed into Brightspace today and noticed that one of my courses has the full course from last year available, including announcements.

I didn't open anything.

Would it be academic misconduct to open stuff and look at it? I'm curious about the course and already a few chapters into the textbook.

I have those dashes at the end of my classes titles on my timetable and kind of just wanted to know what they stood for, im guessing L stands for labs but then i was also told chem labs or ecor labs happen once every two weeks so why does it show on my calendar an -L class every week

kind of a dumb question does it just mean what class im in out of a,b,c or d 😂

My friends and I are first years going into programs at Carleton and were wondering if anyone knew what the "The Campus Store" fee is on the term payment breakdown. We assume it is for textbooks for course needs but we arent sure.

I’m going into first year health sci. Has anyone had Mastaneh Azad for labs? Are they good? Are labs in general hard?

I'm deciding if I should attend TIFF or the SPPA orientation for my master's program. Has anyone ever attended the orientation, and is it useful or helpful? I attended orientation for my undergrad back then, but I found it quite useless

Hello. I am an incoming Grade 12 student. So, to see which undergrad program I want to apply to, I usually go to the website "Ontario University Info " or OUInfo. So, for context, I wanna do pre-med and all I can see there is Health Sci and Cognitive Sci or Science (Science – Honours (4 years), Science – Major (4 years), Science – Non-Honours (3 years)).

Now, when I go to the Carleton University website and select all the different faculties, I can see programs like Biochem, Biology, Neuroscience, or Bioinformatics, etc)

So I am confused: are Biochem, Biology, and Neuroscience all different programs, and can I apply in OUAC as a different major or are all these under the science mentioned in  OUInfo?

does anyone have pictures of what the 4 person Leeds room looks like?

Would all 4 share the same kitchen or would it be 2 and 2?

messed up registration and now i'm left with not very many elective choices for MPPA. Any thoughts from past students on:

PADM 5420 Policy & Program Eval with Jane Whynot (and the intro version with Robert Shepherd)

PADM 5123 Public Management in Practice with Mehmet Demircioglu

PADM 5228 Social Policy with Pankill Goswami

Also, is is normal to do 2 electives one semester and 0 the other?

Basically when I went to check the course outline of one of my courses in brightspace the time the teacher said the course was is different from in my timetable and I just checked it again today and it’s still showing as the time when I first signed up for it. I’m wondering if this is a mistake on the outline or the timetable because I would rather not miss my first class and I specifically chose this class so it wouldn’t be in the morning which is what is in the course outline.

Sorry if this was a bit rambly but I just wanted some advice before I email, trying to make a good first impression.

Does anyone have the required book (Psychology:Themes And Variations 7th Cdn Ed) and is willing to sell it to me for under 20? Also, is it a must to get the specific edition (7th) of the book or am I fine with using an older version? If anyone has the pdf version that would be godsent. Thanks 🙏

Those who graduated, especially in psych, what are you doing to find jobs or even placements please like it’s so hard now

How important is it to bring a shower caddy? Im sharing a bathroom with three other people so im mostly just concerned about clutter in the bathroom. Im in russel if that changes anything

Hey everyone, does anyone have any information about the archery club and how to possibly start it up again? Like would getting a coaching license for it help? Or does anyone know any free/cheap places to do archery in Ottawa?

THANKS!!!

This is a desperate post but does anyone have access to the STAT2507 lectures from Professor Wayne Horne by any chance? I had to defer the exam for severe medical reasons and to be honest I was quite inactive for the final third of the course because of it but the lectures are not on the brightspace for reference anymore. If anyone managed to maybe screen record the lectures or even just have access to the slides I'd really appreciate it. Please reach out

Is the Frosh hoco and Frosh ball worth going to????

Do you have to do labs if you already took a course? (Eng)

I was told that if you have to redo a class you don’t have to do the labs only the final exam? Any truth to this or is it up to individual profs?

I know most clubs are for undergraduate programs.. so how do we get more involved in campus life or is there any associations for master students? I really want to meet more friends this year
