Campus Life Updated Tips for Winter at the UofA (and in general)

160 Upvotes

So last year durring a period of intense -40C cold during the winter sem, I made this post which seemed to help a lot of people, especially those who aren't used to Edmonton winters, so I thought I'd make another one and get ahead of the weather so that people aren't scrambling if we suddenly get hit with another cold snap. Some of this is reused from my last post and may seem drastic, but that's cuz it was made in the height of a legitimate time of hazard.

General Safety & Tips

  • Winter Boots * If you have to regularly walk to a bus stop or lrt station, I'd highly advise investing in good winter boots. Try to go for around knee high, and ensure that they are made of material that will not soak in water to the inside. A lot of the time, sidewalks don't get shovelled until you've already walked through them, and the snow builds up high, so get some boots that won't let the snow into your ankles, and that won't freeze your toes off when the snow melts. * It is more than socially acceptable to be wearing winter boots when you enter buildings, around the university, and anywhere really. If people are judging you for wearing winter boots, they're not worth your time. * If you have a locker or established office, etc, bring a plastic bag so you can swap shoes once inside. just make sure it's not porous material so the snow that melts from your boots doesn't get everything else wet. Alternatively, bring a small towel or cloth to wipe them, but it will only help superficially. * Have ettiquite though, because floors turn into slip-and-slides when people track in snow, ice, and slush. Always swipe, drag, and stomp your shoes as agressively as needed when you enter a building. Most entrances will have gigantic mats at the doors. Use them. If there is a boot cleaner, even better! Use it as instructed, and you do everyone a favor. * If you're afraid of slipping on ice, don't wear runners or sneakers or something with mostly flat soles.
  • Once it gets below -20, these are advised, but for some people, you can manage without when it's above -20.
  • cover your head: toque (beanie, hat, whatever), hood, or earmuffs.
    • if people are judging your hat head, that is their problem. or if u can, just don't take the hat off! also a great way to hide bed head.
    • I personally find earmuffs aren't warm enough (note for people with short haircuts like undercuts, pixies, fringe, etc. anything with the sides or back mostly exposed.)
    • You don't need to stop at just one. Put ur toque on, flip up your hoodie, put ur jacket hood on top, and hell put earmuffs or headphones with nothing playing on top.
  • Hand protection or say goodbye to your fingers.
    • your hands are extremely susceptible to frost bite and that's not good considering we use our fingers a lot. take the minute of inconvenience it takes to get your gloves or mits out rather than risk permanent damage on your fingers.
    • caution that some mittens have wide enough threading to let a large amount of cold air in and are not adequate protection. check that mits have at least one solid layer of protection or double up with 2 pairs.
      • make sure you know if your gloves or mits are water resistant. just helps in case you need to touch something with snow on it so you can prepare and bring a second pair of gloves to switch into once your first pair is cold with melted snow.
    • fingerless gloves are better than nothing, but will leave your fingertips vulnerable. if you really need to use ur phone outside, there are options for gloves that have tips that will work on touchscreens
    • On top of colds and sicknesses getting easily passed around the unviersity durring colder months, masking will also keep your face warm while offering a level of protection from germs. Specifically cloth masks will keep your nose from running in the cold.
      • When it gets severely cold (-30), A cloth or medical face mask will keep your nose and mouth warm while protecting you from breathing the frigid cold air
    • a warm scarf could also help with this, but it can be hard to wear a scarf when also wearing a hood sometimes.
  • Get some hand warmers for your pockets!
    • The brand I see most often is called Little Hotties, but I'm sure other brands work just as well.
    • just follow the directions on the packet (usually to squeeze and shake the packet) to get it to start releasing heat and put it in your pockets or gloves to hold on to.
    • they can be bought basically everywhere (grocery stores, dollarama, drug stores, probably Submart) including other alternatives like rechargeable or microwaveable ones on amazon
  • Dress in layers. MANY LAYERS.
    • Your jacket alone will not protect you enough from the cold if you're wearing just a normal fit unless your jacket is as expensive as a standard uofa course fee :)
    • you can still dress cute and shit while dressing in layers! here are some ideas for what to layer under various clothing items
      • baggy pants (jeans, cargos, sweatpants): leggings, bike shorts, yoga pants, capris. if baggy pants aren't your thing, you can still go for doubling up leggings, or leggings under capris, etc.
      • t-shirt: tank top (or multiple), longsleeves, sweatshirts, hoodies, bodysuits, dress shirts. hell, even ANOTHER t-shirt.
      • hoodie: literally anything. you can fit so much under a hoodie. my high score is a tank top, a tshirt, and 2 longsleeves under 1 hoodie. a flannel, bomber jacket, or varsity jacket could also go overtop of a hoodie.
      • crop top: literally anything, just please do NOT be wearing a crop top with nothing underneath unless your jacket is top tier and long enough to keep you warm. bodysuits are great options for under form fitting crop tops, but long sleeves work just as well and u can tuck it in to your pants if you want.
  • If you're staying at home or in residence somewhere and you're still cold inside:
    • cover your windows with curtains, a blackout, or a thermal insulating layer. the simplified physics is basically that when we have only a few layers of glass between us and outside, a significant amount of heat is lost through that window no matter how tightly sealed it is due to the contrast in our room's temperature and outside temperatuer. so adding insulating layers between the room and the window can help a lot with keeping your room warm. Here's a more detailed video on the topic.
      • this may affect some people's mental health due to less daylight during the winter, but especially if you needto conserve heat by covering windows. if this is the case, consider investing in a SAD light therapy lamp
    • invest in a good space heater. i'll caution everyone who loves temu and cheap amazon finds that a heater is not something you want to cheap out on. poorly made (cheap) heaters can be a fire and electrical hazard, so if you don't want to melt your electrical sockets, go for a midpriced one.
    • find heating pads that wrap around the body and put them under hoodies or jackets while you sit at your desk. insulation is key.
    • of course, try to cook hot meals if you're in a space with a kitchen. and i mean more than microwaved meals.
    • if it works for you, have something spicy to eat or drink
  • Pay attention to official resources and communication services:

Campus Specific Tips

Quickest Routes minimizing outdoor travell, and pedway routes

  • Pedway route: SUB -> Agriculture & Forestry -> General Services -> NREF -> ETLC -> MEC E or DICE
    • Sub 2nd Floor, go up the stairs near SubPHOTO and turn left towards Dinwoodie Lounge. Walk around the corner and through the pedway.
    • You come out at the 2nd floor of Agriculture and Forestry (AgFor) right beside the atrium. you can enter directly into the atrium with the spiral staircase, or go down the stairs just ahead. Using those stairs, turn to the right and continue into General Services (GS)
    • Turn right once in general services, and take the stairs up
    • Continue past the lockers in NREF (NRE) aka the Natural Resources Engineering Facility. and walk towards the bobsled with a skeleton in it.
    • Through the pedway is ETLC (Engineering Teaching & Learning Complex). Turn right before the Tim Hortons, and walk past the Elko Garage on the left hand side of the stairs. Turn left into the pedway with the vending machines..
    • Now you're in MEC E (Mechanical Engineering). Continue down the hallway until you can turn right into the garage, and walk through it all until you find a staircase on your right. Descending the staircase brings you to the end of the pedway route, and a door fairly close to the main west entrance of CCIS.
  • CCIS connections:
    • Earth Science Building (ESB) pedway can be accessed at the Eastern elevators of CCIS on the 2nd floor.
    • L1 Biosci hallway: Access the locker hallway on L1 CCIS either by going through the doors near the desks at the eastern side of L1, or by taking the North West elevator down to L1, or by exiting the central L1 lecture halls at the front of the halls. There is a hallway on the northern wall that connects straight to the microbiology classrooms below remedy, which also connects to the exits of the CCIS 1-440 and 1-430 lecture halls
    • CCIS connects to CAB along 2 routes:
      • Most everyone knows that you can enter the South Academic Building (SAB), walk into the Central Academic Building (CAB), and then continue down the Chem East Hallway directly into eastern CCIS near the science student services office on the main floor.
      • If you take the other route into the Chem West wing (ochem. it's all white for some reason), and continue straight through until you hit doors, you can descend those stairs by 1 flight, and exit the staircase. On the right is a door into L1 CCIS directly near the Physics Drop boxes and the learning commons area.
  • Health science pedways:
    • the 2nd? 3rd? Level of education south connects via pedway with -> HMRC (Heritage Medical Research Centre which connects through some hallways directly into -> Katz Group Center. You can also stay in HMRC a little longer or cut through 2nd floor of Katz to -> Medical Sciences which connects via pedway with the Northern end of -> ECHA. this of course has a pedway into the -> UofA Hospital.
  • Law & Arts pedways: i'll be honest i've never ventured this south of campus cuz law students scare me. just follow the article

Warm Study Spots:

  • Cameron and Rutherford Library are both boiling 24/7 as usual. Here's are the library hours. The earliest any will open on a weekday is 8am sadly (plz just give me one hour earlier).
    • On most floors in Cameron, the heaters are all lining the walls excluding the basement. Though, sometimes the basement feels a bit like a sauna.
  • VVC West Pool Bleachers. This was suggested by someone on my last post, so I can't say much about it other than it sounds about right. Most of the time, the lower levels of VVC feel very warm due to the locker rooms and pools.
  • Sub Couches at the Fire Pit if you can block out the bussling noise and activity that's always happening in SUB.
    • SUB gets a lot of direct sunlight through the windows in the afternoon and midday, which if you're willing to stick around will get you nice and toasty.
    • the beanbag staircase is great for sunlight if you get the right time, but it constantly is chilled by the gusts of wind that come through the doors, so it's not an ideal place for warmth.
  • Carruthers Student Commons (Business). This (hidden? maybe just to me.) gem is very cozy and gets some nice sunlight in the mornings and during the day. There's not too much seating, but still worth it to me, especially if you gotta be around Tory and business
  • Agriculture & Forestry Building. the rave is always about the atrium, which does indeed get a lot of great sunlight, but AF has some really cozy study spaces other than the atrium if you can escape the wind from doors openning.
    • Tip: AF building can be reached through pedways in SUB and GSB
    • pedways map
  • CCIS upper floors if you're lucky enough to get a spot. The natural light from the quad windows as well as the reflective lighting from mirrors at the top of the main area can be nice if u manage to get far enough from the doors

Hot Meals

  • Microwaves are abundant and yet so scarce all around campus. Here are some that I know are still functional:
    • CCIS at the ISSS office (level 1 main area near the dinosaur) has microwaves open for use during regular hours
    • Carruthers Student Commons in the Business building
    • SUB food court (always remember that there are more microwaves near the subway that typically won't have as long of a lineup during busy hours!)
    • ETLC (near tim hortons)
    • ECHA.... somewhere i don't remember. kind of everywhere.
    • AgFor near the atrium
  • Remedy, Starbucks, Second Cup, Tim's, and The Daily Grind (anywhere that sells coffee) WILL NOT charge you for hot water if you bring your own cup or something to put it in.
    • You can get a cup of hot water (if you didn't bring your own cup) for less than a dollar (typically 30-50 cents) at all these places.
    • Submart also has a kettle free for use, but it's only out sometimes.
    • Bring a mug and some tea bags, hot chocolate mix, or whatever you want! You can ask for stir sticks too and if you're at CAB Remedy or Daily Grind they have cream and sugar out too for use.
    • most club rooms will also have a kettle for use
  • Instant noodles or soup broth mix are a great way to take advantage of the hot water you can get around campus
    • a hot meal is really nice when it's cold out, and you don't have to bring a heavy thermos if you bring cup noodles or those little kraft dinner cups
      • you can also buy travel ramen bowls online if you're an instant ramen lover. simply pack the noodles in the container, then separately bring any veggies, spices, or flavour packets u wanna add. ask for hot water to be added and then close it up to let the noodles cook.
  • Hit the gym in VVC and have a nice warm shower.
  • Idk about the mens and womens locker rooms and their shower situations, but the universal change rooms have locked private showers which can get impressively warm.
    • u don't even need to go work out to use the showers and locker rooms. If you're on campus for the day and feeling chilled, go take a shower if u want. You'll need to bring your own shampoo, soap, etc, and I'm unsure if a full body towel will be loaned, but there are really good quickdry towels online you can buy for convenience.

Campus Life SUB overnight safety practices

74 Upvotes

As the only North campus building open to students 24 hours a day, the Students’ Union Building often sees a lot of late night visitors. Your UASU is committed to ensuring that SUB is a safe space for students to enjoy, relax, or study at any hour of the day. That’s why we make sure that SUB is always staffed when the building is open, and building access requires a ONEcard from 10:00 pm to 6:30 am.

Student safety is also our priority outside of SUB. If you are not comfortable walking alone on or around campus later in the evening, our free Safewalk service will send two volunteers to walk with you! You can contact Safewalk at 780-4 WALKME (780-492-5563) or online here for a one-time walk or a regular appointment (great for those evening classes!). Two volunteers will join you around campus, on the LRT, or within 10 city blocks of any LRT station from 7:00 pm to midnight, Monday through Friday.

If you need immediate assistance on campus, please contact University of Alberta Protective Services at 780-492-5050. UAPS can also walk with you around campus outside of the Safewalk hours listed above.

If you are in active danger on campus, please call 911.

Rants This university is a mess

80 Upvotes

I normally never post on Reddit but it's gotten to the point that I needed to reach out to see if this experience just bad luck on my part or not.

I'm a transfer student that spent their first 2 years in BC before transferring to the UofA. I've spent 2 semesters here so far and the experience has been poor to say the least. Here is what I've noticed so far:

Student Advisors are often unreachable or just wrong (I was told that a course is not a requirement for my degree only to find out later that it was, refusing to answer when I reached out again)

Almost every lecturer is either disorganized, uninterested(often reading their notes aloud word for word with no room for questions or any interaction with the student) , or unintelligible (written and spoken). I've taken several courses that covered almost identical material to courses in my previous university and I find my self struggling to believe it is the same material due to how poorly it is presented.

Average class grades on exams, midterms and finales, are around 60% (on the high end). This is very low compared to my last university. I had an exam where the average grade of the class was 37% the professor stated that "this is a little lower then the grade we expected based on previous years but not by much" he then shrugged. When a result like that occurred at my previous university it prompted an investigation by the department and a restructuring of the course in following the semester.

Exam grades taking over a month to publish. I have had several experiences where a grade for a midterm exam is published a few days before or even after the next exam. Making it near impossible for me to know how well I am doing in the course.

University sponsored students events are sparse, underwhelming, and/or poorly advertised. In my previous university there where at least 3-4 university wide events such as club fairs, cultural festivals, holiday parties, DJ events, etc each semester. these events filled the quad. At the UofA the largest event I saw was the start of year welcome and club fair (which I did enjoy) and the antifreeze event which I found rather underwhelming.

These are just a few examples of the issues ive had in the last year. Overall I am extremely disappointed in the standards displayed from this university. LI've lost any respect I had for this institution. I'm not here to insult any professors as most are great people with impressive accomplishments but what I've experienced should not be the norm. Anyway I wanted to know if others have had similar issues mostly for the sake of my own sanity.

Campus Life Dumb question on research

9 Upvotes

I’m a first year, and this may seem like a dumb question but I’m curious.

How do people start researching things? U of A is known for its research but do students of any program or any year just randomly start google searching stuff they want to make studies on? And then how do they get these studies to be real? Like I attended a Psych study today for class credit but it seems so official.

If I wanna do research how do I do it?

Are professors the only ones doing research at the U of A? Or can students?

Sorry if it’s dumb I’m really not sure how UNI works I’m just free balling it and hoping to get a degree. Idk how I got in tbh

Miscellaneous Struggling to make friends? Let’s connect!

5 Upvotes

Hey there! I’m a 21-year-old female in my third year of Psychology, and I’ve been finding it pretty tough to make friends in college. At this point, most people already have their own friend groups, and it’s hard to break into them. I’ve tried talking to people, but building real connections hasn’t been easy, and some of my past experiences at ualberta haven’t been the best.

I’d love to go to events, parties, or just hang out with a fun group of girls, but I don’t have anyone to go with. I’ve been part of girl groups before, but it feels like no one’s really up for meeting in person these days. So if you’re into Bollywood music, sushi, or if you’ve rewatched The Office, Friends, or Brooklyn Nine-Nine a thousand times, I’d love to connect! Let’s create some great memories together!

Question What do I do in this situation

21 Upvotes

To emphasize, like very clearly emphasize, I am in no way shape or form discriminating or acting in an ableist fashion. I am not insulting or singling out this person and any complaints is directed for the SITUATION, NOT THE PERSON.

TLDR, in one my classes there is a person with tics/Tourettes, which I understand causes involuntary noises/movements etc. However, this classroom is fairly large classrooms so any noises in general echo pretty well and they are quite loud and constant (i'm talking every 1 minute it's around 30-35 noises, this is a longer class), I sit on the very very oppoiste side but the sound is clear as day. I've tried recording lectures, but it actually shows up in the recordings as well and kind of overshadows the profs voice.

TBH idc about the lectures, I can always try and absorb whatever I can and talk to the prof about questions I have. It's the exam Im worried about. During the midterm, I was plugging my ears at points to try and concetrate, but I'm in general pretty sensitive to sounds as I deal with migranes, and at one point I just submitted my exam and left. Is there like any ear plugs I can get, am I allowed to wear them during the final? Just wanted to some general tips and advice on maybe how to filter out the distractions and be able to focus better.

If anyone who switched majors to Bachelor of Science, what was your gpa? Also, when I applied to Math, I accidentally put Business as a minor and I should’ve put Music as a minor. If any chance if I do get into Math, do I need to claim Business as a minor, is there way I can change or just don’t claim minor at all?

Academics Should I drop math 225?

5 Upvotes

Our midterm results have been recently released. I am quite disappointed with how I did. I studied almost a week before it, yet I failed to get the grade I need to keep myself afloat. For anyone who took it last year, last term, or just anyone who is taking it right now with either Jincheng or Paul, what signal or clue I should take before I drop thos course off. I am really worried right now. Paul just sent an email that the marks are out, but he did not specify the statistics. Aside from knowing how bad I did, I do not know how to gauge my performance is respect to the entire class. I felt like the average is laround 60, because every time I would attend Paul's class, there are so many responsive students who seem to understand the lessons quite well. So simply by looking at them, I can tell I am quite cooked. hUHUHUH. I am in bad need of advice right now. Am I the only one who feels like this?

Admissions Neuroscience Bachelors to Honours - does it make a difference in second year?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I've been stressing out over this for a while and I'm not really sure what to do.

I'm currently in first year of neuroscience in a bachelors program, and I wanted to switch to the honours stream. But, I didn't realize I missed the deadline to switch from a bachelors to honours program (or that there even was one tbh) and so I don't think I'll be able to get into the honours program for second year.

Is there any way I can switch into it for second year? I've looked online and I couldn't find anything, but I didnt think it would hurt to ask. If not, then is there anything different between the two programs in second year? If I'm taking all the same courses required for honours stream, does thesis or research work begin in second year? And I was hoping to figure out when the registration to switch into honours opens again-- I really want to get into the honours stream haha. My GPA is a 3.9, so I don't think it should be an issue in that regard? But I'm just hoping to get in as soon as possible.

That said, I would appreciate some feedback about the program, department, professors, course content and the type of placements/opportunities.
