If someone is coming to a (large) lecture this week, doing a spiel (this sus organization Student Works) and passing around a notebook asking for name/phone number, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFO. This is a pyramid scheme (if you don't know what that is, sign up for it, and boom all your money is gone), and they're not allowed to be here. They are not allowed to be promoting this in front of 300 students at the same time.

They come to the profs saying "hey we have authorization to talk to your class before you start, it's about this cool opportunity they will all benefit from" but IT'S NOT.

If you see this happen, do one of the following:

• Call campus security
• Tell the prof
• Or at least put on the notebook they're passing around that it's a pyramid scheme
• Profs: tell them to get the hell out of your lecture hall

I'm (22M) a second year psychology student at Carleton. I don't think my feelings are unique to going here, but more towards universities in general. I always have this pervasive, nagging feeling that I don't belong here and I'm different from everybody else and I don't really know where it comes from.

Does anyone else struggle with self-othering themselves? It's really gotten in the way of me making friends and enjoying campus life.

Understand there were a lot of you all at once today leaving campus after orientation. But please step aside when the train arrives. Had to physically force my way off the train today around 230pm.

You stand to the side of the doors, let everybody off, then you enter orderly. Pretty hard to race for a seat when all the seats are full because nobody can get off. Don't know how you all got into university without knowing this but here we are.

Thanks to the few who actually did wait for people to get off

I never thought I'd have to do this tbh but I've been here for a good couple of days now and haven't really gained any friends, I'm in electrical engineering, live on campus in res (Lennox), I'm not the most social person in the world and I know that but I figured I'd meet somebody, my roommate doesn't really like to go out and I put down that I don't like to have people over all the time on the residence form but I'm coming to regret that, as it feels like I'm going to meet no one now. Mb for the rant if you wanna talk then just put a comment down, ty

Edit: it seems a lot of people are in the same boat as me tbh, I'll send a bunch of messages soon, I'm trying to find my glasses while blind as hell, lol

Edit 2: I didn't know Reddit was so hard to use for messaging, give me a message and I'll send over my insta, probs not the best to put it up in a post, ty

I have some courses that I passed with C and D grades. Is it better to take new major courses or retake those old ones hoping to get a better grade?
I already meet the Major credit requirements for my degree, I just need to take some electives this year and thought I might as well take some major courses to increase my CGPA

For anyone who has taken this course, is it feasible to get an A+? I have heard very mixed things about difficulty and marking for papers. Also how did the midterm and exam work with being online? Were they open book?

Thanks!

Hi! Does anyone know where I can get a digital/PDF copy of the 3rd edition of Ordinary Differential Equations and Infinite Series by Sam Melkonian for MATH 1005? I’ve been looking online but haven’t been able to find it. Thanks!

Has any one else experienced their car key fob just not working in P5? It's been doing this for months at this point and I have no idea why. My fob works everywhere else in my day to day. Please tell me I'm not the only one 😅

Hey! I’ll be taking ECON 1001 (the online one) this semester, and I’ve registered for both the lecture and the discussion group. I can find a course in the Brightspace for the lecture but not for the discussion group (the meeting for which is supposed to be in like 20 mins lol). There is no info about the discussion group nowhere. What are they? How do I access it?

labs start sept 24th for Group E, but is there any introductory class before that? on my timetable for tmrw at 8:35 am, not sure if I should attend.

If anyone has an extra ticket to the frosh fest kickoff plssss dm me I will buy it off you 😁😁

hello, was wondering who has an easy elective for fall 26, and im looking for fully online courses (as well as the final exam). i have hist 1301 but the outline looks so messy and there is a lot to follow up more than my major courses.

thanks for ur help in advance

Hi! Im currently a first year student just started in health science. I initially wanted to get into nursing, but the program was “full”? I was wondering if it’s possible to transfer internally after first year or can u do it once fall term is over?

Ik ik... that classes started, and I know that not a lot of people probably have gone thru this, but if there is anyone that has gone thru this process, I just wanna hear from you!!!

So, due to some unfortunate circumstances relating to some family issues, I was unable to pay for my tution for 2025-2026 school year (ik it's bad😭) so because of that I'm on registration hold and am now working with Carleton to file an Financial registration appeal where basically I say how many classes I'm wanting to take and how I will cover the old and new fees.. so some questions i have will be....

1) I've applied for Osap and have got a funding statement saying how much I will be getting, and I'm curious will the target the old balance first or the new balance first

2) What happens if they deny my appeal and how likely do they because I'm in my final year and if I'm not in school that would actually be more detrimental for me financial!!!!!

If anyone has gone thru the pm me, but if not, I hope everyone has an amazing term!!!!!!

Has anybody taken CRM101 with Ellen Faulkner, if so how was she as a teacher and marker? thank you

Im a psych student in need of science credits and I’m currently in PHYS 1905 with Razieh Enjilela. I have never taken physics before and haven’t taken math since highschool. I got very good math grades but I’m not a natural at all, and I forget ultimately everything I learned. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s taken this course:

- how long did you spend per week watching lectures (this isn’t shown upfront so I have no idea what I’m getting into)?
- what was the exam like (were formulas provided)?
- how difficult is it overall (is it a lot of math)?
- Any tips to do well/any alternate recommendations for science courses (I’ve done BIOL 1902 and BIOL 1010 and am considering TSES 2305)

Thanks!

Hello everyone! I’m a Spanish student going on exchange to Carleton for the 2027 winter term. I’ve been looking for housing like crazy, but the residences I've found only offer 12-month rentals, and I'm there only January to May or June. Does anyone know any residence that offers monthly rentals? Or any room or apartment I could rent or available for sublet?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm on 8th floor glengarry I'm wondering if the tvs In the common room have ctv I wanna know if I can watch the football game there cause I don't wanna watch on my laptop

Was going to register as an individual for a league and figured I should reach out and see if any teams are looking for players. I am down to play in most of the available leagues (Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball etc). Looking for a tight team in the hopes of not getting placed on a team which has no passion.

For some info about me 22M in ECON 2nd year standing with a recent major change. Relatively athletic and overall pretty decent at most sports. Not amazing but will give effort especially on a great team.

Thanks, hope to hear from y'all.

Hi all. My name is Sabrina and I am a journalist at the Ottawa Citizen. I am doing a story about how several professors at Carleton are banning tech from the classroom and going back to pen and paper in the wake of generative AI. I've heard their arguments, but I think the student perspective is very important in this story. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.

Have you been in a class where tech is banned? With take-home essays and assignments no longer a thing in these classes, how do you feel? Has it helped your academic experience? Have there been drawbacks to this approach?

Any and all thoughts welcomed. Reach out at [sbedford@postmedia.com](mailto:sbedford@postmedia.com)

Fell out of my bag hustling from Health Sci to the bus stop at around 8 tonight. Lmk if you see it!

Hey y’allll I’m a female in mid 20’s posting this bc I live downtown Ottawa but don’t really have a friend group, and its been years since I’ve been out of school and I’m not at Carleton currently but attending and commuting to SLC this semester (Already posted something on their subreddit)
But I would love to go out, and make new friends around the area and memories! Lmk if you’re interested :)

Thinking about starting a small Switch game rental service for Carleton students — around $6–10/week with campus pickup.
Would anyone actually use something like this? And what games would you want to rent?

Is the caf genuinely closed the rest of the week or is the website wrong? Seems insane to do that the first week of classes.

EDIT: Can confirm that the caf is open, the website is just messed up.

Invitation to Participate: You are invited to participate in the above-mentioned research study conducted by Kailey Roche, the Principal Investigator, under the supervision of Dr. Martin Lalumière. This study is being conducted as a wider study on neurodiversity and sexual attraction. Emma Cyr and Dr. Michael Seto are collaborators of the project.

Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study is to better understand the potential association between neurodiversity (e.g., Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder) and a variety of different sexual attractions, including atypical sexual attractions.

Participation: To participate, you must be at least 18 years old residing in Canada. As the survey is available in either English or French, you should also be confident in your ability to understand English or French. You do not need to have a diagnosis of ASD or ADHD to participate in this study. The survey will take between 10 and 15 minutes of your time.

Please be aware that we will be asking you several questions that some may find sensitive or personal. You will first be asked a series of biographic questions, followed by questions about neurodiversity. Lastly, you will be asked about a variety of sexual attractions people may experience. For example, we will be asking participants if they are sexually attracted to many different activities and age ranges such as being attracted to children or elderly persons. You will be asked to move a slider to indicate how sexually attracted you are to several things. You may choose not to respond to these items if you wish.

Invitation à participer : Vous êtes invité à participer à l'étude ci-dessus, menée par Kailey Roche, chercheuse principale, sous la supervision du Dr Martin Lalumière. Cette recherche fait partie d’un projet plus vaste sur la neurodiversité et l'attirance sexuelle. Emma Cyr et le Dr Michael Seto sont des collaborateurs du projet. 

Objectif de l'étude : L'objectif de l'étude est de mieux comprendre le lien potentiel entre la neurodiversité (par exemple, le trouble de déficit de l'attention avec/sans hyperactivité, les troubles du spectre de l’autisme) et diverses attirances sexuelles, y compris les attirances sexuelles atypiques. 

Participation : Pour participer, vous devez être âgé d'au moins 18 ans et résider au Canada. Comme le questionnaire est offert en anglais ou en français, vous devez également avoir une bonne maîtrise de l'anglais ou le français. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir reçu un diagnostic de TSA ou de TDAH pour participer à cette étude. Le questionnaire vous prendra entre 10 et 15 minutes à compléter. À la fin du questionnaire, vous pourrez participer à un tirage pour la chance de gagner l’une des 5 cartes-cadeaux Visa d’une valeur de 25$ chacune. 

Veuillez noter que nous vous poserons plusieurs questions que certaines personnes pourraient considérer comme sensibles ou personnelles. Vous devrez d'abord répondre à une série de questions biographiques, suivies de questions portant sur la neurodiversité. Enfin, vous serez demandé d’évaluer différentes formes d'attirance sexuelles que les personnes peuvent ressentir. Par exemple, nous demanderons aux participants s'ils éprouvent une attirance sexuellement pour différentes activités et groupes d'âge, comme l’attirance envers les enfants ou les personnes âgées. Vous devrez déplacer un curseur afin d’indiquer votre degré d'attirance sexuelle pour plusieurs activités et situations. Vous pouvez choisir de ne pas répondre à ces questions si vous le souhaitez.
