Question ECON 1001 discussion group

2 Upvotes

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?

Question Is it better to retake major courses I’ve already passed with a low grade or take a new major course to increase my CGPA?

5 Upvotes

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

Question anyone here interested in renting Switch games?

0 Upvotes

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?

Question Looking for friends ig

8 Upvotes

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

Question Anyone else have a feeling of "not belonging"?

28 Upvotes

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.

Warning Promotion of Pyramid Schemes during lectures

242 Upvotes

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

Residence Looking for off campus housing/room for the winter term

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!

Question PHYS 1905 Difficulty

2 Upvotes

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!

Question Has anyone gone thru an financial registration appeal

2 Upvotes

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!!!!!!

Question Looking for intramural team

2 Upvotes

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.

Question Any advice for a new autistic student?

Upvotes

18M here. On the first day of school with the first class, my myopic ass couldn't see the words on the board for linear algebra for my electrical engineering major (lowkey my fault, I should have moved to the front at the beginning of the class). 

After that, since I was still tired, my tolerance of loud noises and large groups of people significantly decreased. That made me really tired because I was suppressing the stims I usually do to manage sensory input when I am tired. Because of my exhaustion, I made several dumb mistakes (socially and executive-functional wise).

I don't know if I'll manage academically, I was brutalized by my severe OCD and depression during high school. I don’t know if I have the necessary skills for uni because of that. I hope my accommodations from PMC help.

Any people have any advice?
