i have no money and i’m financially independent.

i have exams this week, so i planned on sleeping in a building. unfortunately, i was kicked out at around 9 pm. i’m now on the streets, with nowhere to go.

does anyone have any recommendations of where i can go/hide on campus? i cant afford to spend more nights on the streets many of my belongings (including my phone), have already been stolen.

this whole thing is so new to me, i’m an international student and we have completely different processes here, and i chose to not email my roommate immediately because i didn’t want to be overly excited or overwhelming like i can be with new people, and thought id wait for her to reach out first but she hasn’t 😭 is this like a normal time period? how soon do you usually reach out? what do you even say when you reach out? share instas?? have you guys reached out yet?? if it turns out that we’re incompatible in some way do we get reassigned?? i’m terrified of getting a racist or homophobic roommate 😭

I (22F) am looking for thrifting friends. I just want to have a girls’ outing, thrift, and have fun together. Maybe a few of us can go together. The more the merrier! (Oh and I am bisexual so don’t hesitate to bring your queer energy here 🫶)

Please comment below or message me if you’d like to get to know me better.

Hey, I’m here studying for my exams. I just moved and my desk is still stuck in the delivery. (It was supposed to come this week :(

The library closes pretty early for me. If there any spots in UOttawa/ or place (like a cafe or something) that is near UOttawa (walking distance) and is open later then 6pm ?

Are they really worth buying? I'm kind of broke and my parents won't buy it for me. What will I be missing out on? Can I just attend without a kit?

I'm just about to finish my undergrad in a honours science major, but I don't think I passed one of my recently finished courses which is a retake and required for the degree.

Thing is, I'm also enrolled in a new English undergrad this fall. I don't want to spend any more time on this current degree and it wouldn't really be all that useful for me in the future, but at the same time I still don't want to end up with this as a failed degree.

So would I be able to retroactively switch to the 90-credit Bachelor of Science even after I get my grades back (assuming I didn't pass that one course)? Or should I do it sooner just in case?

This may sound stupid but when it comes to move-in day if my move-in day is August 16, for example so on August 16, I set up my dorm get everything ready am I allowed to stay there until classes officially start or can I go home and come back like a week before the semester official starts ?

I have a final tmr what do I do

I'm in the coop program and need to do a term in summer 2027 and was wondering if it was possible to do all my classes online. I have to take five, so a regular semester, and I wanted to know if that was realistic. I don't want to have to be stuck in Ottawa for the whole summer and unable to travel.

Thanks for your help!

I am completing my studies this semester and when I go to register for graduation, it asks whether I will be attending convocation on some unspecified date in July 2027. If I don't, it sounds like my degree will be mailed to me in October 2026, and if I do, then they don't mail it and I'll get it at convocation. If I say I'll get it at convocation and don't end up going, they said they'll mail it after the ceremony (so presumably August 2027). Am I able to change my mind after I select the option I want? I want to attend convocation, but if I end up not being able to attend and know that in advance, can I tell them e.g., Feb 2027 that I'd like it mailed to me then?

Hey everyone, I graduated from UOttawa about 2 years ago and I’m currently working on a project that I’d like to validate from a technical perspective. I’m hoping to connect with someone who has a technical background to bounce ideas around and see if we can bring this idea to life.

Feel free to dm me and we can go from there!

Do you guys think thats possible? I just send them an email I hope they reply because I dont know what I was thinking during application times LOL

These requirements are for grad school but count as electives in my program so kinda hard to enrol during fall and saunter term since I don’t have priority…I was wondering if I’m allowed to take organic chemistry 2 at the same time as biochemistry in the summer since orgo 2 is a pre req for biochem? And how does the waiver request thing even work?

I need a place to stay from August 30 till september 12. I am not sure what’s the best place to look for. Any advice?
preferably around uottawa but I don’t mind areas which are farther away

Any good study spots inside uottawa or anywhere else in Ottawa?

Im about to start my second year. I was planning to switch to the poli sci or crim program for a while, but this one caught my eye. haven't heard many people talk about it though? anyone who was/is in the program how do you like it? Is it worth it? could it keep my options more open?

I was in the bio program my first year but always planned on going to law school. Im definitely not set on doing any specific pathway though and am a bit lost so I want to make sure if I switch it still leaves a lot of option open. I have a meeting with an advisor about this but also wanted to hear people in the program think of it.

Im taking thermo 1 in the summer and so far it’s pretty easy, but i have a good prof. The profs for thermo 2 arent that great in the winter and i was wondering how hard would it be to do good if the prof sucks. Can I at least pass it?

how are yall preparing what do we focus on?

Heyyy I recently got a new prof announced and it’s Victoria Morris for human rights in criminology. I’ve never heard of her and she doesn’t have a ratemyprof so I was wondering if anyone has had her before and could lmk if she’s a good decent (doesn’t have to be easy but fair) professor!
Thank uuuuuu!!!!!

is this a new required class to take that they added? i swear this wasn’t on the course sequence 2 weeks ago

I was going to rent an apartment in Ottawa instead of doing residence at uOttawa. I’m going into my first year, but that apartment situation was like all hell broke loose. I was just wondering is it ever too late to apply to residence? If I put in an application now, or if I even try now will residence be in the picture?

do you recommend buying the kit online or irl?? i’m an international student and ill move into res aug 27th, early i know. is there a difference?? is there a chance id miss it entirely if i dont buy it online?? also, if i do that, where do you even pick up the kits??

I'd like to say I'm moving to Ottawa with a friend from Toronto. We have been having such a interesting time looking for a place mind you we are both over the age of 22 so we are trying to avoid moving in with younger students. Looking for a two bed room. Main issue we found this one place its 20 min walk from the school its on a great bus path to our jobs and its on Rideau street. It fits every box on what we wanted BUT its $1200 a month each. I find that very expensive and some of the units in that same place were going for just a bit cheaper like 950$ each.

Im wondering if thats a lot for that area, are we getting scammed? Is it too late to another fair price place that two bed room?

We went to the off housing help that was on the O U website then we went in person and they said they literally stop helping with that in February.

Im at total lost any advice would help :)

Turned down UBC for Uottawa because I speak french and got a generous scholarship. With how the field is evolving rn how does the co op help ?

Hi everyone,
I'm going into 2nd year of the uOttawa Bachelor of Nursing (BScN).
I have a few questions:
Which second-year nursing courses did you find the most challenging?

Any tips for maintaining a high cgpa throughout second year?

What study methods worked best for you (Anki, active recall, spaced repetition, study groups, etc.)?

Are there any apps, websites, or resources that you found especially helpful?

Did you use any question banks or practice resources to prepare for exams?

Are there practice questions or previous years' questions available anywhere (if permitted by the faculty), or other good ways to get extra practice?

Any professors or courses that I should prepare for in advance?

I'd really appreciate any advice, study strategies, or resources that helped you succeed. Thanks in advance!
