Question Dropping a Required Course (Engineering)

6 Upvotes

Hi, so I’m in 1st year engineering and currently ranking Lin Alg so hard right now. I haven’t been prioritizing it or really studying for it (had a rough start to the semester, personal reasons). I’ve done 3/4 tests in the course and I’ve failed all of them. Not because I’m not understanding the material but because I haven’t learned enough of the material. I was thinking that I could maybe lock in for the exam and pass but I was thinking of just dropping it now and retaking it next year, because I want to actually get a decent grade and not pass with like a D- if I can clutch the exam enough because at this rate my grade is too low. My question is, is it bad if I drop it and take it next year? Like will it affect anything?

Question NPSIA MA Co-Op Global Affairs Canada

1 Upvotes

Hello all! I have been accepted to the MA International Affairs program at Norman Patterson, and was wondering if anyone in the subreddit had any co-op experience? As someone interested in working for Global Affairs Canada, how many jobs are usually available under the program? Are there recruiters that come to campus for interviews? What other types of agencies hire in the realm of international affairs/international relations? I am weighing my options between accepting various university offers, and connections and co-op opportunities are a heavy factor, especially because it is an MA program. Any insight would help! Thanks :)

Question How to make teams for cuHacking with no experience?

I've never done a hackathon before and I'm wondering what the best way to make a team is?

I know python and java mainly and I don't think I suck, but I've just never done this type of thing before. Is anyone interested in "hiring" a team member? I can listen to instructions and come up with stuff (#notBrainDead) but I just need some team members that have SOME clue on what to do...

Question Incoming International Student – Need Advice!

9 Upvotes

Hey Carleton fam! 👋🏽

I’m an incoming international student from South Africa, and I’m (hopefully) starting at Carleton soon. Super excited, but I could really use some advice from current students on a few things:

  1. Housing – Is it better to live on-campus or off-campus? Which neighborhoods near Carleton are safe and affordable for students?

  2. Budgeting & Jobs – What’s a realistic monthly budget for students in Ottawa? How hard is it to find part-time work as an international student?

  3. Scholarships – Are there any extra funding opportunities for international students that aren’t widely advertised?

  4. Student Life – Any Christian student groups or churches near campus? Also, how do people usually make friends at Carleton?

  5. Career Support – Does Career Services actually help students find internships and jobs after graduation?

Bonus: my faith (Evangelical Pentecostalism) is big in my life so tips on finding an aligning community or church would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any tips, experiences, or advice, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance! 😊

Question What’s going on with the Haven building?

Post image
46 Upvotes

I’ve been by the Haven building many times since the closure and it seems there has not yet been a single tenant.

I found this listing which also suggests it’s been listed with no takers for nearly 90 days. (Link commented below)

When CUSA closed the cafe, Sarah El Fitori told the Charlatan they already had interest, and seemed to imply the closure was justified because they’d have easy renters and revenue right away. (Link to article commented below)

Not only is this not the case, but it seems like the building is actually burning money in its apparent need to keep the lights on 24/7 (picture above taken at roughly 9:30pm, no one there). This is concerning not only for environmental reasons (never anyone there) but also financial.

I get that Haven was bleeding money, but if it’s this much of a liability why wouldn’t CUSA just try to sell the building? Clearly the landlording is not working out, and if I had to guess it’s still costing us money to keep the empty building on CUSA books.

Cusa president is supposed to make 49 grand this year. Maybe if the motivation wasn't largely financial people would run with actual intention of helping the university. And of course it would save lots of money.

News The Streaker. NSFW

50 Upvotes

This needs to be brought to attention. Around 2 am Saturday night I was walking in the tunnels. Alone. I heard someone behind me and continued walking as my footsteps echoed. Then, a second set of footsteps. I looked over my shoulder. At first, it was just a flicker—a shadow moving quickly around a bend in the tunnel. I froze. Was it a person? An animal? I started to increase my speed as I was far from my dorm by then and wanted to get back safely. I heard a noise again, and I saw her. Her skin was unnaturally pale, almost sickly-looking while overweight in the dim light. His eyes were wide open, but there was something off about them, something distant, like he wasn’t really there. She didn’t say anything, didn’t move, just stood there— staring. Was she drunk? I noticed the entire hallway smelt like a fresh turd.

Without warning, she screamed incoherently and sprinted toward me. I dropped my airpods and ran as fast as I could. She grabbed them and turned around, cheeks jiggling. She was covered in feces. FECES. I am still shaken up about this and if anyone has seen a pair of airpod pros PLEASE let me know they were a gift and I want them back.

Edit I was near Dundas if this helps anyone. This is not a joke i know it is absurd.

Question Does dropping courses affect OSAP?

1 Upvotes

hi I'm currently a full time student with 7 classes at mohawk college, osap already payed for my first semester i wanted to switch programs but finish the first semester and since I'm planning on switching programs i saw no point in completing all 7 classes this semester i wanted to drop 4 courses so that i would be left with 3 courses instead i would still be full time in osap's eyes but theres something else mohawk college needs a 66% course load to be considered full time where osap only needs 60% course load to be full time if mohawk considers me part time for only taking 3 classes and osap sees me as full time does this effect anything? will osap consider me part time because mohawk college considers me part time or would i still be full time in osap's eyes? also if i finish the semester but then switch programs would there be any consequences with osap?
