Hi everyone, my name is Kate and I'm the education reporter for The Hamilton Spectator. I am working on a potential story about the effects of OSAP cuts on students and would love to hear from you. Anyone who'd like to share their experiences/concerns can email me at kmccullough@thespec.com.
Thanks!

As the title says i need a place on campus to cry and i don't wanna bother my roommates. yeah uhhh thanks lol

And btw this is a genuine question, plus it helps me find quiet spots on campus anyways :)

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.

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?

Anyone else?

I just feel like there’s nothing to look forward to anymore.

Just eat, go to class, sleep and repeat.

So I just found out that two courses I'm interested in are offered every other year, does anyone know where one can find out this info? I usually put courses into MyTimetable to figure out if they're fall or winter, but if a course doesn't show up at all I never know whether its been cancelled or is every other year.

For Science courses, are there lists anywhere with this info?

hello!! im looking for girls to hang out w during welcome week 🤗 i have a gc for girls to go to the events tg (we all just met recently, so don’t be scared to join!)

I recently got an iPad for uni and wanted a single note taking app that would be reliable for taking notes on with an Apple Pencil that is completely free no matter how many pages I write, I would appreciate any help pls!!!!

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.

title ^^^ is this new? i never saw this last year.

Need some bird electives for this up coming year, with no final exams so I can focus on my required classes. Have already taken sustain 1S03, innovate 1X03, Envirosci 1C03, music therapy 2MT3. Anything helps, thanks!!

Hi! looking for people in the LGBTQIA+ community that would like to be friends. Please comment or dm me to get to know a little about each other!

at midnight of the day course selection opened for me, i tried to add bio 1a03. website crashed. i LIVED on mytimetable for like a day, still wasn't working. went to work. checked during my break at work - FULL FALL AND WINTER. AHHH.

thing is, i wouldnt care so much, but i planned to apply for mcmaster's accelerated nursing for fall 2027, and it counts towards one of the prereqs. do i just have to delay a YEAR bc i couldnt get it?

and yes maybe it'll hopefully open up for winter but i already have anatomy II and bio 1m03 next sem 😭 adding 1a03 would be crazy. and i think doing it in spring is too late for admissions 🫩

title. is it video recordings typically or moreso live teams ? thanks!!!!

Hello! If anyone is looking for a room to rent, message me! I am renting 1 bedroom for 700$ and another one for 900$.

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?

Incoming second year cs student, I’m looking for people who wanna lock on the internship/leet code grind w me in the upcoming school year 🙂 (Haven’t started doing leetcode yet).

Guys welcome week is genuinely so embarrassing tell me why im so awkward that I managed to FOURTH WHEEL a group of ppl who didnt even know each other at first. Thats a whole new level of being a loser and I am that loser...

Genuinely everyone has alr made at least one welcome week friend on the first day but i genuinely get crazy nervous talking to new ppl and i can barely hold a conversation with ppl for 2 minutes and then it goes dead silent and they talk to someone else!!

Lwk rant sorry in advance

Thinking of applying since I am quite interested in medicine + business, but I wanted to hear the experience of current students.

First year life sci on res. Also uh I accidentally put winter before fall oops.
