Discussion Welcome week crew

0 Upvotes

Hot take- the move in week crew is super annoying and overwhelming. It’s even worse that you can’t opt out of it, they’re everywhere. It’s an already stressful day and having hundreds of erratic, jumping, yelling people run around your car, in the streets, and in the dorms shockingly doesn’t make the day any better. Idk what kind of North American weird hospitality this is, but it’s so annoying.

Discussion First Year Eng, Any support helps

0 Upvotes
  1. I was hoping someone could help guide me through building a PC for engineering and coding and what parts I should buy I want to keep the budget under $2,250

  2. I was wondering how does Mac card actually work because I bought ~$15 of food from a store and I was only charged around $8.00 so is there a student discount.

  3. How do I commute from LP to classes, is there a campus bus? E-scooter or E-Bike?

  4. What school supplies should I purchase for school?

  5. Any advice for first year or McMaster in general?

Tell me why half the time the service desk is closed and none of the staff that are working know what the hell is going on? They can’t even answer basic questions. I went there at night and it was closed.

Social not making any friends at welcome week

12 Upvotes

im an international student, and before moving here i was super excited for a new identity and making new friends and stuff. esp at welcome week cuz i heard its supposed to be super fun. well, ive tried but to no avail. everyone seems to have their own friend group, and even people in my res and floor seem to be besties without me. ive tried to strike convos but it seems like no one wants to continue talking to me. plus no one comes up to me either. so far ive not had fun at any of the events, instead, felt like an outsider. what should i do? will i ever make friends? does it get better?

Social How does everyone know each other @ welcome week?

13 Upvotes

I went to the engineering welcome week and didn't see anybody that was alone. It kinda feels overwhelming when I don’t know anyone there. Also, I tried talking to 2 people, but they didn’t seem to want to continue the conversation, so I pretty much left in 5 mins. Agh, maybe I’m just a loser.

I applied to be a TA in the Computing and Software department but haven't heard anything back yet. Does anyone know when interviews are typically conducted?

Since I haven't heard anything should I consider myself rejected at this point?

Other is going to pulse gym worth it?

Upvotes

so I’ve been going to goodlife for the last yr, but Ive realized if the pulse membership is in my tuition it might js be better for me financially to switch to pulse. before I decide to cancel my goodlife membership I was wondering if the pulse gym is honestly a good switch, ive heard many people say it gets really crowded but it would also be more convenient to use the gym on campus. I was wondering if people could js give me some insight on their experiences.
