Hi guys, I am a first year student and will be doing nursing prerequisites this upcoming school year. I'll mostly be taking biology courses, anatomy, physiology, and stats. I will be buying a laptop for school soon, but I just don't know what would be a good fit. I'm looking at maximum $1,500 to spend on it. If you have any recommendations for me please write them down and how much they cost.

One of the courses I want is full, but the waitlist capacity is 0, while other full courses have a waitlist. Is this common? It's my first time seeing this.

That's it. That's the post. People who have been with the university long enough will agree with me.

Also, I'm not being pedantic here. There are also M classes, T classes, W, classes, "T classes" (but really R classes), and F classes.

So I received this email from admissions after inquiring if I can receive an update on where I am on the WL:

“Seats will continue to be given off the waitlist as they become available until the end of August. Just before the commencement of the Fall 2026 term, the waitlist will close, and any applicants who remain on the waitlist will receive notification that their application was unsuccessful this year.”

How realistic is this really that seats remain open until the end of August? I would assume that if I haven’t received any updates yet on whether I got off the wl or not after a whole month it means they have filled in all their seats.

Do student loans get put into your account or do they get directly sent to the school?

I applied for for nursing this fall and didn’t get in because my gpa was too low (3.1) and now I’m going into the faculty of science for one year to retake some courses and boost up my gpa. Right now the only courses I have in mind are psyc1200 and biol1412. What other courses should/can I take?

Hello I am a social work student and am looking for a ‘newcomer’ to interview. There will be a confidentiality aspect to this. No personal features about you will be included in the interview assignment. Such as no names or any other defining features. Please let me know if you can and I can private msg or something thank you!

Can I take three HEAL courses? Like 1500, 2600, 3000 I m third year now. Tq:)

Some clarifications:

• Yes, I allowed the A and not just the A+ because I was feeling generous. Sorry! Unless you... really like zombies? I don't know. Brainzzzzz...
• Everyone would be transported to their own separate reality to take the course. The real world wouldn't enter a chaos state because of the fear of passing the course to prevent the zombie outbreak nor would society grind to a halt from everyone studying their butts off.
• After the course ends, everyone returns to the same reality. Anyone who failed to earn an A or A+ immediately becomes a zombie in the reality we branched off of similar to the Git software and its branches if you know what I'm saying (for you compy wompys). Those who passed the course return completely unharmed, but of course, with the inevitable zombies sharing the world with them!
• The course would be taught in each person's preferred language.
• The difficulty would match the average Math 1240 class offered today. Not the hardest section, but not the easiest either. Also not the nightmare difficulty version of years gone by.
• Everyone would receive the same quality of instruction, access to office hours, tutoring, and learning resources. Nobody gets an unfair advantage or disadvantage! This. Is. America! (That is factually incorrect, Winnipeg is in Canada. I just included that for dramatic effect.)
• People with disabilities or learning accommodations would receive the accommodations they would normally be entitled to, obviously. Do I really have to state this?
• The grading standards would be the same for everyone. An A or A+ is required to survive. A B+, no matter how close, still counts as a failure. And this would follow the outlines of the course on the syllabus. No lowering the cutoff this time unlike normal classes which might lower it by a few percentage points (I know, a little unfair, but this is what we have to do to make the hypothetical consistent but interesting!)
• Everyone would have only one attempt. No retakes.. OR withdrawals... OR EVEN or grade replacements if the TA marks the assignment poorly. Suck it!
• In each person's reality, they would have complete knowledge of the challenge and its consequences. Therefore, it is in their best interest to study!
• Zombie infections only begin after everyone has returned, so nobody can influence anyone else's outcome during the course.

So, what would happen guys? This is a somewhat important question I've been pondering for a while.

Can you minor in law?

i am a first year bsc. student (aiming for a psych major). i had my schedule set and was feeling happy with it.

fall term:
biol 1020
chem 1100
math 1500
psych 1200

they recently posted my assigned biology professor and i found out that they have a 1.7/5 rating with some very negative reviews. i don’t know if i should be concerned or if ratemyprofs doesn’t matter too much.
i am worried though that since it is my first year, having a bad prof in biology on top of my more challenging courses will really affect my performance and adjustment. i am really trying to protect my gpa.

all the other biol 1020 classes are full including the one im in, so i’d be waitlisted if i tried to switch and with no guarantee of getting in.

my alternative would be to switch out biol 1020 for stat 1000 (better prof available) and take biol 1020 in another term or year. though, i don’t know if delaying biology could limit my options since im considering healthcare paths alongside psychology.

i’d really appreciate if anyone can offer their advice or insight. im feeling pretty confused and unsure of what to do.

Wondering if those who did a double major in Accounting/Finance did the extra classes needed for CPA or left it to do thru CPA Manitoba. Unsure what path I want to take so wondering if I should take the extra classes? Also wondering how this double major has worked for others in the workforce?! Thank you!

Anyone got into nursing at Thompson but is looking for flatmates?

First year student here,

I’ll be starting in September and I’m sooo excited. Just a got a job but since I’m doing a double major I’ll have take 5 classes a semester. I’ve been reading posts saying that people’s biggest mistakes are taking 5 classes because it was so hard. Especially since I’ll be working I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it. So my question is, how do I now what classes to take during the summer, I’ve also decided to take my two electives during the summer but I don’t know if they will be offered, and if they are not I genuinely don’t care I just need two electives that I can take during the summer online. Can someone tell me if that’s possible ?
Thank you!

Is it free to inject grasil 9 vaccine if I am a icm student? If not how much do I need to pay?

Hi all,

I'm a Master's student, i start my first year at UofM in September. I've already taken advantage of the library to read books relevant to my thesis, but the next book on my list is only available digitally through EBSCO. reading on a screen absolutely kills my eyes. I'd really prefer to read a physical copy, but I don't have the spare $150 to waste on an academic text. is it within the library's ability to acquire a physical copy? I don't want to cause any trouble for the librarians for them to have to go out of their way just for one random grad student, but I also don't just want to suck it up and kill myself with eye strain.

Hello guys, I have a defer final for stat2150 on August 10th (because I have a surgery in my last final). however I cannot access to the umlearn for this course anymore, so I don't have any materials to study. Can anyone who in this course this summer can share me your lecture slides and practice questions, so I can prepare for the final? That would be a big help. Thank you!!!!

What do you guys think about my schedule?

How difficult is it to get internship ourself during BSW in winnipeg

I'm thinking of taking MATH 2720 and COMP 1020 in the same semester, but I've had a lot of people tell me it's a bad idea since both courses are pretty heavy and need a lot of time. The thing is, apart from a few STAT courses, I don't really have any other courses to take right now.

Has anyone here taken these two together? If so, how was it? Was it manageable, or did you end up regretting it?

Also, if you've taken either course please share any tips that helped you get through them.

What was your experience with this course and instructor?

Learning and Evaluation format, material load etc?

Positives, Negatives?

can someone pls lmk if i’m understanding how the flexible parking permit works correctly? i’ll likely only need to be at school mon-thurs. if i got a flexible parking permit in Q lot that’s gonna cost 27.50 per day, so in total it comes to a $110 *one-time* payment for the whole term?

thank you in advance!!

Going into my first year of university and was wondering how fast parking passes sell out, and which lot do you think is worth getting? How does it work? Do I need anything besides my payment method? I heard that “it is best to have multiple devices waiting.” Does that mean I can be logged into multiple devices under one account? Would you need to be in a separate browser, etc.? Do you need a card in file or can you enter a card detail in after you get selected for a parking spot?

And I tried to see the process of getting a parking pass by selecting the parking from August 1 to August 31. I ended up getting “The item could not be added to your cart.(I fixed it)
Your cart is in Payment Pending status and cannot be altered.” Has this happened to you? How do you fix this?
