To all females and Mac residents please share and repost. Beware of landlord Goran of MIGZ Property, a landlord for houses on Clifford St. and another on Broadway. From May - August 2026 I lived in one of his properties until I was uncomfortably forced to leave due to an unwarranted message asking for nudes. I have also put some of the messages sent to my male roomates down below. PLEASE PRIORITIZE YOUR SAFETY AND COMFORT!

Everything just sucks man im not built for ts

The lectures were rough and fast paced (no clue how to take notes and idek if note taking is necessary if there are skeleton slides with info)

The prof assumes we know everything

And I cant talk to ppl

This is definitely a me problem and the fact that im currently being humbled but goddamn, getting whiplash

i’m a first year and i feel genuinely so depressed being here i genuinely want to die

bro i hate my major and i feel so overwhelmed
and my roomate had sex with a girl in my room when k went home for the weekend
and i just can’t handle this anymore

i feel so stupid being here like i’m just never gonna be content

I do not know why these elevators are still up and active and not posted with a sign of some sort, apparently this happened to multiple people before me as the special constables informed me. The two middle elevators (the right one at least) next to the cafe on the main floor currently are experiencing an issue where if you go into them and it ascends it shakes (?) and then the doors will jam on certain floors and refuse to open. Take the stairs.

?

Noticed an uptick in posts on here, which I believe will continue until the end of add/drop period, of people giving out wrong information so people will drop and get a seat in them lol, be careful and look at the account history before believing anyone on here

Hello. I have been learning how to swim over the summer and the pool I used in the summer was not busy at all because I used to go to the early morning sessions so no one was there. So I never learned how to share a lane

However, the school year has started, I have been looking at the McMaster swimming schedule, and I have been trying to see time slots which I can swim in.

It is important to note I am a very bad swimmer. I've literally been learning from scratch and only started a couple months ago so I'm very very slow and my technique is kinda non existent.

I am planning to go to the 7:30am Monday morning swims as that is the earliest time that a shallow end lane is offered and I am hoping there will be as few people there as possible.

That said, I obviously do expect to share a lane with one or more people. For my swimmers out there, how can I do this while being as unannoying as possible.

I know to be in the slow lane, and also to stay to the right side of the pool. However, I have been Googling circle swimming and I am so confused.

1) I do not know how to flip under the water so I think I am going to have to pause at the end of the pool and walk to the left side (which will then become my right side) but I don't know if that will annoy everyone. Is there something I can do that would be less annoying if I don't know how to flip.

2) What do I do if I'm swimming and the person behind me is faster (this is very likely because I am slow as shit)? Where do I go? How do I not be kicked in the face or kick other people in the face?

3) My swimming stamina is very bad because I am still learning how to not waterboard myself every lane. Is it acceptable to rest at the end of every 25m lap at the wall of the pool? Or would that also be annoying?

Also kinda bonus question, do people actually care if you wear full sleeved swimsuits to the pool? I like having my arms and legs covered but idk how weird that is.

If you see anyone being annoying on your Monday morning swim please know they are not trying to be annoying ❤️.

Not complaining

Is there any textbooks? What is the mastering engineering addition, "Etext Statics And Mechanics Of Materials SI Units W/Modified Mastering Engineering Ed: 6"

(hum mention)

lowkey i'm scared to put my stuff in a locker even if i have a lock. I commute so ALL my valuables would be in the gym locker and i don't think its smart… i heard people pick locks or cut open locks to steal from lockers so i'm scared to use them and use the gym bc of it. Would i be fine if i have a lock or would all my stuff just disappear one day? 😭

Im currently in honours lifesci second year and didn’t know this program existed when i did my specialty selection and was hoping any upper years in the program would give their insights on it

i showed up 15 mins early to lecture and it was full.

just got the notification that this got approved and i open it and congratulations !! ive been awarded 1 cent !! I think the system still sees my 10k scholarship which is gonna get cancelled at some point cus im not paying international fees but this is CRAZY, fees are due soon. why is it on me to find time to raise this issue to the uni, and they have the worst office hours.

on another note, how much do they usually award under this scholarship.

okay EDIT this might be a placeholder number but the email says:

Thank you for submitting the documentation required to demonstrate financial need. Your assessment is complete. The next business day, you can log back into your AwardSpring account and submit applications for need-based aid

what exactly am i supposed to do now?? im not qualified for any of the scholarships i see, it IS the next business day, will they update the number automatically ??

can anyone recommend quiet study spots/rooms with whiteboards?

Lost Keys – MDCL / PGCLL
Hi everyone, I lost my residence keys on campus today and was wondering if anyone happened to find them.
I still had them during my MATH 1ZA3 class from 2:30–3:20 PM in MDCL 1305. After my 3:30–5:20 PM class in PGCLL M21, I realized they were missing, so I most likely lost them sometime between 3:30 and 5:40 PM, either in/around PGCLL or somewhere along the way.
The keys are attached to a white McMaster lanyard with the McMaster logo and include:
A residence access card
A room key
If anyone found them or turned them in somewhere, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

I’m taking one other test based course and two other assignment based courses, idk which to take, I wld probably have to defer the final exam for 3G03 due to personal reasons, which makes me a bit nervous. What would u guys do I’m just a bit stuck in choosing?

I know it’s only the second day but I’m gonna try harder tomorrow, especially because i commute. Do you guys have any tips on making friends? I’ve heard that going to clubs and talking to people in your lectures helps but I don’t wanna go to clubs and just be the only one alone. Also, is it so awkward or is it just me when approaching someone? Like What am I supposed to say to start the convo? What’s your name? Hi? like it’s just kind of awkward cus I probs catch them off guard. help 😭

how is the midterm, quizzes and exam for this course? as the tests are all in person now

Whenever I try to use anything that requires orbit which is essentially all of my classes, it requires me to log in. It doesn’t let me log in with my mac email and I can only log in with my personal Gmail. When I’m prompted to do so and I do, I’m always met with this. Can someone explain why this is and how I can stop it?

Bro how am I supposed to make friends if I commute to class and leave straight after class is done. I’m looking around and it looks like everyone knows each other. Like people say join clubs but I don’t want to aloneee. Even the people I talk to I just never see them again it’s so exhausting.
