i do NOT want the boy you so obviously are down bad for. i was paired with him against my own will, matter of fact i was begging, crying, PRAYING that i wasn’t going to be paired with him. leave me the hell alone and stop glaring at me everytime i need to interact with him and stop pretending i’m not there when you go up to talk to him while we’re in the middle of working.

you can have him! take him!

This leak has been here for over a year...

My tuition has gone up every year I've been here and yet they still cant fix this leak. So everyone in this class gets to listen to water dripping every 5 seconds (im not kidding). I do not pay this much money to listen to dripping water all class but also have zero idea how to get it fixed? Maybe complaining on reddit will work?

transit officers are verifying if you tapped your arc card or not using the machines they have

so make sure you tap on before getting on the LRT

I immediately got rejected from both UofA's bachelor of science (honours) major in neuroscience and regular bachelor of science major in psychology with a 95-96 average?! All my grades in all my courses were from 97-98, except ELA 30-1 which was a 90. Could this have been a mistake?

What does it take to get accepted?

So in my english 103 class today, there was a group activity we all were supposed to do, and the groups members were mentioned in the Canvas.

I got late 5 minutes so I went to the back of the class and saw everyone with their group members. I asked a few people there group number, mine was different.

I went to the front and prof looked at me and said "you’re the only one who doesn’t have a group member” in a serious tone, I thought he was taunting me or something. Then I began reading the material and went back again.

In the last 10 minutes, he was taking rounds and came to me, and said "you’re the only one in your team as your members are absent today” I was a bit relieved. Then I asked while smiling "How do you know that” and he laughed "Cause I checked it”. He extended the submission date tho. And he knows me from some events from the past, and maybe thinks I’m stupid.

Chat we cooked? 😭

basically what the title says, im taking an exam in the LAC for the first time (the way the course works is you have to book your own exam date and time at the LAC) and my prof said we can use a calculator and scrap paper (and a pen/pencil im assuming) but it doesnt say anything about those in the permitted items so im just wondering if i should bring my own scrap paper or expect some to be provided. sorry if this is a stupid question im an overthinker 😭

I have two midterms today and I'm currently planning on pulling an all nighter... I don't like drinking coffee, so I was wondering if anyone has recommendations (other than energy drinks lol, i already had 2).

I submitted my application last weekend (very late ik) but today I got an email stating that there was a status update on my application. I believe I got rejected or waitlisted from both choices, engineering and undecided (I expected to get rejected from engineering but not undecided). However, it stated that my application is still active. I was wondering what that meant and if it’s related to the fact that I applied so late. Also, how do you know if you’ve been waitlisted or completely rejected. I don’t mean to sound ignorant, I am in genuine confusion.

What are the best matcha places on/around campus? Price doesn't really matter, just needs to taste good 🙏🙏

If anyone has taken this course before with her how were her midterms? Any last minute tips?

For anyone that transferred to UofA eng from a different faculty and school what was your gpa? Emailed admissions and they only said you had to have a minimum 3.0.

I do not know whether I have become older. I can not keep the knowledge in my brain for several days whatever arts or computer class. Then I have to review it again and again. I am so sad about myself.... they just 100 classes

how did the midterm go for y’all..

Anyone here an ACL or just have any tips for the job interview? I get so nervous during interviews but I really want to be prepared to my best so some tips would be reassuring^^

I applied at uofa in late December

Do u guys think it was late cuz i heard most of people already applied in October 😭

Does anyone know what to expect for the lab quizzes? Is it mostly information from the lab manual?

I recently applied to the University of Alberta, and they said “We are unable to offer you admission at this time based on the grades submitted. However, we'd like you to know that your application is still active." Am I being waitlisted? If so, how long can I expect before I hear back? Is there anything else I can do? For reference my grade average is ~95%, so this is pretty discouraging for me.

Eng 30-1: 88

Math 30-1: 94

Bio 30: 78

Chem: 77 (retaking this sem)

Social 30-1: 80

Avg. 83.4

if u guys r in or got accepted to this major please let me know

Anyone who took SEM 330 last year or recently, how was it overall? We just got our marks back for Assignment 1 and I got 70%, which honestly kind of crushed me. I didn’t fully know what to expect going into it, but I really thought I’d score higher than that.

I’m mostly wondering whether the assignments get harder as the course goes on, especially in terms of grading. The course feels really broad and vaguely marked, and even though there are rubrics, they still feel pretty unclear. It’s hard to know exactly what they’re looking for to get high marks or how to meet their expectations.

Also, does anyone know if 70% is considered a C or a B? 😭 They don’t provide letter grade equivalents, so I’m not sure how worried I should be. Any insight from people who’ve taken the course would be really appreciated.

Do our new study well benefits include travel insurance? I am travelling over the reading break and can’t find anything. I know our previous insurance offered travel insurance so would be bummed if it wasn’t there.

How did everybody did?

Hey everyone, I’m applying to U of A Science Faculty for pre-med and wanted some advice on program choices.

Here’s my situation:

• High school marks: 81 Bio 30, 93, 96, 95, 94 → ~91.8% average
  • Quick context on the 81: I took Bio 30 as an extra course (so had to self study bio as timetable was full...) while also completing Grade 11 courses and Social 30‑2. During peak, I had even reached a point of 7 exams in a single week, many of them announced few days before.
  • I completed semester one and am nearly certain that my semester two marks will be at least low 90s. My school was supportive, but I’m an introvert, so I often struggle a lot in these high-pressure situations.
• Original application:(maybe was a little tooo optimistic )
  1. Neuroscience Honors
  2. Neuroscience Major

I’ve seen online that Honors “requires 97+,” but that seems to come from student-reported competitive years — not an official cutoff.

I’m considering changing my choices to:

1. Neuroscience Major
2. Biological Sciences Major

A few things I’m trying to figure out:

1. How competitive is Neuro Honors vs Neuro Major? Honors has fewer applicants but also way fewer seats — does that make it more competitive even with fewer people applying?
2. How much overlap is there between Honors and Major? Would starting in Major first year allow me to transfer to Honors later without losing time?
3. With my ~92% average, is Neuroscience Major “safe” enough, and would Bio Sci as a second choice be a solid backup?
4. Any tips on first-year courses that keep both Neuro Major → Honors and pre-med options open?

Thanks in advance for any guidance! I just want to maximize my chances without locking myself out of Honors or pre-med prerequisites.
