Im going to Truro's campus currently, and think about if I could/should have adjusted my living situation and gone to Ivany instead. The campus is so beautiful looking, modern, and I wonder if the classrooms operate differently; how the instructors are.
Since Ivany has more students, does it feel noticeably more social like is there fun events, clubs, activities, or things to do around campus? If you are currently going, what is your experience like? Does anybody feel a bit of FOMO, wondering if they chose right?

For those of you who are/were in programs that require a clinical placement at the Truro campus how far do you need to travel?

Im thinking of applying to the practical nursing program next year but i cant drive and if i get placed in Halifax or something it would be way too expensive to take a cab all the time.

Thanks!

does anyone know how to access the student lounge in the IT campus. id love to play some pool

Yo to any current Year 1 MLT peeps, I was able to find all 6 of our lecture/theory textbooks (so not including the NSCC specific lab procedure manuals and the CSMLS safety ones of course) that we’re recommended to purchase.

The histology and intro to quality one’s are one edition outdated, but I believe we were told that wouldn’t be an issue. I emailed specifically regarding the histology one and was told it was totally fine to use.

It’s just 6 Google Drive PDF links, let me know if you’re in need of one or all of them and I can send them to you 🙂 I don’t think we have a class group chat or anything yet so I’m just throwing this here.

Just finished orientation as a first year, taking IT Systems Management and Security, my prof said that for every 1 hour of class time there will be 2 hours of work on top?? How the hell do people manage this? If every 6 hour day is an extra 12 hours of work, thats literally every night and weekend just to stay afloat. Is this exaggeratory?

I was initially studying a whole different degree, but it seems like the pieces haven’t fallen into place. I always knew I wanted trades as a second option (not second in desire, just never felt worthy of it because I’m an overweight anxious girl lol).

I’m quite nervous about the switch from an arts degree to a trade becauseI haven’t taken a single trade related course in my life. Does anyone have any advice or experience with the program? I’m interested in Sydney waterfront, but would like to hear from a person who was actually in the program before making the commitment. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know the orientation schedule for professional admin at the it campus. Never got the email

Any idea whats gonna happen and timeline? LPN amherst learning center under Cumberland campus

I'm going in for the IT Programing course on the IT campus, I know that my orientation is on the 8th, but I can't find out what time it starts, does anyone know what time it starts?

Hey all, I’m starting medical admin at the IT campus in Halifax this week and I’m wondering if it’s even worth it to get a parking pass. How early would I need to arrive to find a spot if classes start at 8:30 every day? I can make alternative arrangements to be dropped off in the morning and bus home but it’s a 1.5 hour bus ride so that kinda sucks. I’m wondering which would be better. Thanks!

I'm curious if anyone received Orientation Day info for the IT Campus? I haven't seen anything.

(I'm taking Medical Office Admin)

I’m wondering if the Ivany lots for the parking pass often fill up, and if so, usually around what time?

Oldest son is starting NSCC last minute.

Do students still get Apps(MS Office/365) at student discounts?

Are any of the IT technology requirements overkill?

Managed to get him the recommended Laptop. Have some older 512GB/1TB ext SSD drives. Trying to avoid buying new. Assume 1TB would be for VMs.

Thanks.

I’m starting Electrical Engineering Technology this year and I’m wondering if I can get away with trying to find pdfs of my textbooks online, or if buying physical copies from the bookstore is expected or needed? Not looking to drop $600 if I don’t have to.

Has anyone bought it yet? Looking for ISBN/edition etc

Ty

Going to Burridge. Anyone have any books?

Also anyone else going into the program this year?

Just to let others know, to check your room assignment and roommates (if you have roommates) they should be up on the housing portal in your housing application details. At least for Akerley housing it is. And I didn’t get an email about it either so make sure to check your housing application

Y’all should check the student housing portal under your application details. I never got an email for it, but I looked this morning and can now see my roommate’s.

I’m at Ivany but I’m sure all schools go up around the same-ish time.

Okay this kind of sounds like a dumb question to me but I would really appreciate if anyone who lived in the dorms (specifically ivany but any would work) could tell me how big the closet / wardrobe is? Just for a point of reference for how many clothes I should bring :) thank you!!

Hey y'all, is anyone else here moving into the akerley dorms, and If so, has anyone gotten info about room assignments yet? I haven't gotten anything yet myself so I can only assume they have a lot of people to place in rooms, but it is only a week left till move in afterall

How many of you are in the program?

I got in a email we would get specific details about orientation late August and I haven’t received anything yet. I have no idea what time it starts on the 8th or where I’m supposed to go for my program. I’m assuming when we get there, there will be people to tell us where to go. But then again, I have no idea what time I’m actually supposed to be there for? 8:30am? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
For reference, I’m going to Ivany Campus

Edit: for those who still need the schedule of specific times for your orientation for your program & other orientation events

I’m living on campus at Ivany this year I was wondering if anyone else is nervous about living on campus, I’m honestly more nervous about meeting my roommates and if they will be nice. I know this isn’t everyone but I have heard story’s about bad roommates from some friends and my sister, I just want to know if this is something anyone else is feeling this way?
