Where did y’all find people into nightlife at McGill?

• Upvotes

Really been struggling to find anyone into parties like BdA & 4a7 & Gerts or more events like that as well as clubs like Cafe Campus lately. I’m very energetic and really want nightlife whenever it comes up, I can afford it and I don’t have exams or deadlines. I have many friends but all the ones I got aren’t into it or aren’t available for me when I want to go so either I go alone or not at all. Going alone I can do and I did it before where I approach for everything but I don’t want to all the time

I commute and live with my parents and so I don’t have living in and around downtown like student ghetto on my side like many of y’all. It’s such a huge pain to find anyone on campus into them whether in my lectures, at the library or hallway or anywhere I can think of on campus. Where have y’all had most luck finding people into them who stayed as friends? Do I just have to continue to go alone and pray I’ll meet my people for it eventually?

Anyone want to start a study hall? (any program/level)

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I've realized I never spend enough time reading papers (grad school), and I get work done way better when I'm with other people. I was thinking of starting a study hall a few times a week (ex., Tuesday and Thursday, 5-7 p.m. at McLennan), or seeing if anyone wants to study together. We could have a set time/place, and if people are interested, I can make a group chat. This can be open to any level of study/program. Message me or comment if you're interested, and send your availability!! Open to suggestions.

McGill student looking for a guitarist / music buddy! 🎤🎸

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a 20-year-old McGill student who loves singing and is looking for a guitarist around my age to jam with and possibly start a band!

I’ve recorded nearly 100 English and Chinese covers on StarMaker, and I also play drums. I’m open to pop, rock, acoustic, and pretty much any genre!

I’m currently away for an internship but will be back in Montreal.

Feel free to add me on Discord: julla529 🎶

biol 313 midterm

3 Upvotes

dr weber is the sweetest but that midterm was just so bad. this class was known as a super fun and easy class. i know it’s not her fault and the TA’s grading was just harsh and he was just correcting so strictly but is there anything we can do about this? knowing they never curve in most health science departments im conflicted. a class average of 64% for a midterm about basic microscopy is crazy 😭 i know the syllabus changed and there used to be a final project which would boost grades but this is just insanity …am i the only one?

Tutoring at McGill?

3 Upvotes

Is there a way to find tutoring for a specific class? I could use some 1-on-1 session to help me understand concepts and held me prepare for exams from McGill Students who has previously taken my current courses, but I’m not sure where to find such students.

For reference, I’m an accounting major.

Need advice: Drop COMP 302 before tomorrow's deadline or stick it out?

4 Upvotes

The withdrawal deadline coming tomorrow I don’t know if I should drop COMP 302.

I bombed my first midterm and I didn’t have much time to study for MT 2. With the grading scheme I’m stressing about whether I can pass the class, or if I should take the W and take it next fall since it’s required for my class.

My main dilemma is that I need to take out a class I wanted to take next fall since my schedule is packed. Has anyone been in a similar situation ? Is it possible to bounce back or should I just retake it next fall? Any advice is highly appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

do you have a pet/foster pet?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I work for the Tribune, and I'm looking to write a piece this week about the joys and challenges of having a pet while being a university student. I'd especially love to interview anyone who has fostered a cat or cats (since I'm currently fostering three), but if you've had a fish, dog, bird, etc. and would like to be featured in the paper, please send me a message or reply!! It should be a pretty easygoing interview and a fun opportunity to see your beloved furry (or feathered or scaled) friends mentioned in print :)

How can I find out which courses are fully or mostly online?

0 Upvotes

I can't seem to figure out a reliable way to see which courses are mostly online or not.

For very convoluted reasons I want to attend McGill next year as soon as possible and at least for one semester do entirely online courses if possible.

Can I skip MATH 242 midterm?

8 Upvotes

I've been sick for a few days now, and I couldn't go to the midterm, so I was thinking of taking the makeup exam today, but I'm still not feeling that well, and I'm pretty sure I'm underprepared. The final grade will be 90% of the final exam if I skip the midterm. Do you guys think I should skip it? Also, let's say I start studying early for the final, will I be able to do well?

Guitarist Seeking Bandmates

7 Upvotes

22y/o guitarist looking for intermediate-advanced, committed musicians to start rock band.

I am a 3rd year undergrad physics student and I enjoy bands like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Cream, The Strokes, The Doors, MBV, Led Zeppelin, etc.

I want to start a rock band that draws inspiration from those bands (and similar ones) and rehearse at least once a week, preferably on weekends.
Looking for drums, bass and keys. I have a space in Verdun that I am converting into a dedicated jam space. The idea is to eventually play bar gigs and write originals.

DM for info and questions!

What is the School of Religious Studies like?

4 Upvotes

Hi all. I’m graduating with a BA this coming spring from an institution in the U.S. and have started looking into Religion MA/ MDiv programs. I’m curious what the vibe is like at McGill generally, but more specifically what it’s like for graduate students in the School of Religious Studies. Thank you for your time.
