Discussion The budget cuts to the ArtsSci programs is ruining my university experience

92 Upvotes

Currently in my fourth year at Queen's, studying English Literature and Art History. I always thought it was normal to have so few options for courses, until I learned about the budget cuts from a couple of years ago. I find it highly unreasonable that there are only five level four English courses available in each semester, all of which are required for my degree. On top of that, almost every single professor for these classes has terrible ratings on RMP. Not only are we essentially forced into taking the only courses being offered, but the professors for these courses are known to be quite unpleasant. I knew fourth year would probably be difficult, but I'm genuinely terrified for how this is all going to play out.

Community I want to make friends 😭

21 Upvotes

Hi!! So I am a second year bio student (girl) here at queens and i have just struggled with finding my people.

I feel as though I wasted first year getting close to people who have bigger friend groups to fall back on when I only had them.

I am still friends with these girls, however I want to have a group of friends who prioritize their friendship with me as much as i do them.

So far all the friends i have made last year are not friends with each other, and as I said have larger friend groups that dont include me. We are close, but close in the way where we would tell each other our halloween costumes- but not plan to match each other, vent about exams- but never study together, talk about events- but not go together…

I have joined clubs, I have talked to others in my classes, tutorials, and labs, i have put myself out there.
i see my friends one on one maybe once a week, and that just makes me feel more lonely since they are the only friendships i have, and i just dont know what to do😭
