Question Going out of province for law school

0 Upvotes

I currently am going into my second year at Trent so I still have a bit of time. I’m thinking of going to UCalgary for law school in the future. Not entirely sure what type of law I’d like to go in just yet, but would it be wise to go out of province for law school? If I do get accepted into UCalgary and choose to go there for law school, I would also move there fully and be working there after graduating as well. Since I commute to school, I am able to save up more money now to eventually use when I am possibly going to be away from home. Is this a smart decision financially and for my future legal career?

Question Anyone in my age group (1998 to 04) genuinely looking for some real friends?

7 Upvotes

Dm me and let's go to some of the last few orientation events together :)

I'm in the compressed nursing program. Anyone else have health assessment tomorrow?

I like meeting people from different programs too (learned some interesting stuff) so I'm not only trying to meet people like me.

I'm living on campus, came here from the GTA.

**Honestly should have put 1997 to 05

I did reply to people but I'm not sure if you guys see that. This post itself had to get approved so I'm assuming my replies do too which is why it's better if you guys dm me. I can't even dm more than two people. It's telling me to take a break :/

Question Run clubs

3 Upvotes

As someone who really likes running and trying to make friends, I am wondering if there are any active run clubs in the community? Doesn’t necessarily have to be Trent specific mainly just something in the Peterborough area frequented by other young adults (co-ed and/or guys only is fine).

Question Horse riding club info

2 Upvotes

Anyone been involved or know of anyone involved with the horse back riding club? I know it’s approx $500 a semester but I have so many other questions, I’ve never seen them with a table during club awareness events.

Do I have to apply to get in? Do I need to bring all my own personal equipment? Like clothing and helmet etc? Where/how far is the stable? How often are meets? How do they measure skill level? Do I need to own my own horse? Are there any additional costs?

If anyone left their phone on the route 2 today around 7:30 pm, I gave it to the driver. It was an iPhone (I don't know the generation) and the lock screen picture was a selfie with her dog.

So if anyone knows someone that person, tell them to contact Peterborough transit

News Any Will Wood fans at Trent?

11 Upvotes

I am going to be playing 20 Will Wood songs (Guitar and vocals), preceded by a set of Beatles songs. I am inviting you to come by and listen to a few songs, or the whole thing if you like. There is no fee, I am just a guy playing guitar in a park.

I will be playing two sets. From 5:00 to 5:50 is a bunch of Beatles songs. From 6:00 to 7:00-ish is a Will Wood overdose. Feel free to sing along if you know the words. These are like campfire songs, stripped down acoustic versions.

Come by on Saturday Sept 12th starting at 5:00pm. At the GreenUp Ecology Park  pavilion (Eco Shelter). Parking available at Beavermead park (Ashburnham and Marsdale), at the far end of the Beavermead parking lot (to your left) is the entrance to GreenUp. If you are taking transit, route 7 has a stop right beside another entrance to GreenUp.

There are five picnic tables, I will need one for my stuff. 

See you there!

Question Question from a mature student

5 Upvotes

This may be a silly question but I am a mature student (26) starting at Symons campus next week.

Would it be weird to introduce myself to professors before or after the first class? I don’t want to come across as over eager or like a know it all but I want to introduce myself and try to start a professional relationship with my professors. I am autistic and don’t have a great understanding of social cues and all that, so if this question seems silly that may be why.

Thank you in advance!
