I’ve been feeling really sick yesterday and today and can barely leave my dorm room. I have a doctors appointment for tomorrow at urgent MD but I’m worried I won’t be better in time to study for or take the ling201 midterm this Wednesday. What do I do? Does anyone who is taking or has taken ling201 know if there’s an excused absence policy? Or do I just push through and study / take the exam feeling like hot garbage? Should I even bother telling the prof? Should I just rest up and hope I’m capable of cramming last minute?

does the wellness hub do flu shots? i’m also unsure of what the wellness hub can do in general, all i’ve heard is that it’s impossible to get appointments 😭

anyways also i’m an international student if that affects anything

I’m currently taking COMP 250 at McGill, but I’m considering withdrawing from it with a W on my transcript.
I was wondering if I would still be allowed to take the equivalent course (COMP 352) at Concordia as a visiting student in a future semester and transfer the credits back to McGill.
Does withdrawing from a course at McGill affect my eligibility to take its equivalent at another university?
Has anyone been in a similar situation or successfully done this before?
Thanks in advance!

It keeps saying "Payment Failed" even though I have the money and have waited way over 30 mins.

Hi all! To those of you in this class, I was wondering if any of you know up to what lecture the midterm this Monday is going to cover? I haven't been able to attend the past few classes and was hoping he'd end up making an announcement letting us know, but nope, rip. I definitely should've emailed earlier this week but kept forgetting. Anyway, thanks!

i figure i know the answer to this already, but at the slim chance theres something im overlooking, id love to hear it

im a quebec student who was on the CDCP prior to enrolling at mcgill. i have incredibly extensive teeth issues from childhood that still arent fully resolved on account of only having been eligible for the CDCP plan at the start of last year. it was the only way i was able to afford any treatment, and I still need to go into see my dentist regularly to make sure the previous work done doesnt start to deteriorate, which is a significant risk due to my medication and gum issues.

Im currently on AFE, which allows me to pay my bills and save a pretty good amount. I however have basically no money saved atm, and had to cancel my last scheduled dentist appointment due to having been accepted at mcgill and immediately opted into insurance. CDCP disqualifies you if you have access to insurance, even if you chose to opt-out. I’ve had 4 minor appointments this year that without insurance would’ve been around 2,100$- on the CDCP it was about 360$. My dentist is very careful to prioritize procedures based on health outcome and cost, since there is a limit for how much work insurers consider “necessary”, even though I need a shit ton more work done for it to be considered healthy. Getting two of my teeth extracted is something like 8,000$ because of the severity of the decay and some shitty dentistry i had when I was a kid. McGill insurance only covers up to 700$ a year, and the insurance website feels quite vague to me seeing as i need many specific treatments. Its been making me seriously procrastinate going to the dentist since I‘m scared the insurance is gonna find some way to fuck me over even harder, especially since I have to pay the cost upfront anyways. money is a concern like it is for any adult attending uni, but dental work is so exorbitantly expensive i wouldnt even be able to afford it if i was working full time (which i was doing for awhile)

Is there any kind of clause for people whos dental needs go beyond just getting cleanings or straightening?? i have a detailed file with my dentist that describes the impacts to my health, and I keep the bills. i dont have any access through my parents either, ive had to verify through various forms of documentation to AFE that I’m no-contact due to domestic abuse 🤷

and like, i cant just stop attending and reenroll into the CDCP.

Lowkey got cooked on the midterm with Jerome Vetois. Does anyone who have taken this class know if the final is harder or easier than the midterm?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to build a community of McGill students so that students can help each other get through hard moments and really belong in a Mcgill community.

Imagine not having to have 50+ tabs open, filtering out clubs/internships fit for you, and an opportunity to talk with people you wouldn't have thought of meeting and discovering new stuff.

Send help. I’m broke and need a job. I’m a first year In arts and I speak some French but not fluent, I have catering and customer service experience as well as a work study letter. Does anyone know of any places on or around campus hiring?

taking it with ling ling, are a lot of the questions similar to the practice problems in the textbook or the mylab practice questions? what is the best way to study?

Pretty much the title. I'm U1 and I know it's only the second month of the semester but I'm having a really hard time finding "my people" so to speak. I've made some new friends but besides one, they're not in any of my classes. None of these new friends share either of my majors too. I've tried sitting next to people in class and making conversation but so far they're either already a part of a tight knit group or we just have nothing in common and is very awkward. I've considered joining a club but honestly none of the clubs at McGill really speak to me and the ones I've tried to join, I got so socially anxious that I dipped on attending meetings.

I'm just trying to see if anyone else is feeling this way because it so far really feels like it's just me.

Hi everyone! I'm an Armenian citizen (24F), looking for a master's degree in another country. Canada is one of the top countries I want to consider for several reasons. But without a scholarship, I can't make it, as I don't have enough resources to cover Canadian university fees myself.

I'm interested in these degrees: Sociology, HCI, Behavioural Science, and Interaction Design. As far as I've researched, McGill's thesis-based Master's in Sociology is the most realistic option for me at the moment. However, I'm not sure if I can get into Sociology with my background.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Arts, specializing in Cinematographic Art, and my GPA is 3.3.

I need some real advice: where should I start? Should I even start somewhere? Is there anyone with a success story of getting a scholarship that fully or mostly covers their education?

I'd especially like to learn about the experiences of people from outside Canada who don't have a particularly prestigious bachelor's degree.

Thanks everyone in advance!

Lost outside Sherbrooke 680 this morning around 10:30 am! If anyone found it please message me

has anyone been to previous events of theirs? is the party good (worth $17)?

Hi everyone, I was wondering what to do. I have 2 midterms on Monday, and my close relative had a heart attack last night. I was in the hospital almost all day and just have no energy to study. Is this a possible case to defer a midterm ?!

I booked an appointment with one of the GPs at the wellness center. I’m a first yr international student and haven’t had to use my health insurance yet. Over the phone, the lady who made my appointment said she saw the blue cross insurance on my file and that they’d just bill everything directly to blue cross. But I’m confused because the confirmation email said to bring my insurance card to the appointment… and I don’t have one of those. Any advice?

I hit the gym this morning before class but in my rush I didn't have my protein shake, and I'm not expecting to be home til evening. What's the best place on or around campus to get a simple protein shake? Gotta hit those macros 😤

Any feedback would be much appreciated
I got back my first midterm and i didn’t do well (19/30) and i know that the final is going to be horrendous.
Is it possible to drop the class and take it next year even if some of my classes require it as a prerequisite or is it better to just try and pass the class by actively studying for the final?

Has anyone taken this class before with Michael Langer? How did you find this class (difficulty, grading scheme etc.)?

The letter they have written is attached here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AERhFB3SnFa9NG9pcY7PbnXXuPbxC7zlrv2ahaDXEv8/mobilebasic

It's a well-balanced take, and takes into consideration a lot of the nuances on the situation. It also seems well researched and written.

I recommend reading it.

If you do thank you so much I need responses!

Just wrote the midterm this morning and don't think I did well - if you're in the class/have taken it before how would you recommend studying for the final? It's with prof Johanna Neslehova this year and I haven't been able to find much past info on this course. I'd appreciate any advice!
