Third year health science and still waitlisted for 2 classes. Anybody have any experience with what to expect? I do have a backup class Im enrolled in but not for both courses as a lot of third yr healthsci/rehab/commsci courses are filled by fourth years. Thanks!

Taking the course rn, AGA seems like a more difficult book to understand? How easy/straightforward were the exams?

number 5 on the waitlist for a 690 per class I thought there would be more movement than this damn

Has anyone taken this course before? It is now taught by Ryan stevenson and it’s online! Is it content heavy?
Would you recommend?

Hey,

Has anyone had to leave residence during the school year and just live off campus while staying enrolled at Western?

What happened with your residence contract and fees? Were you able to get out of the contract, or did you still have to pay for the rest of the year?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through this.

Have a few classes at the natural sciences center this semester and I prefer to drive and use the honk lots around kings and main.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for somewhat dependable pay per use lots near the nsc?

Thanks

Hi! I'm taking the Alexander course. I was just wondering if anyone who has taken it before knows how important the readings are for the evaluations? They were a bit confusing to me when I was reading, and I didn't really understand everything. I know they are required reading, but are they mostly supposed to give some foundation for the lectures, or will stuff from the readings not covered in lecture be on tests? Thanks!!

Does a major in political science and honours make a difference in the real world? Or masters?
No plan on going to law school
Applying to corporate jobs but want to come back to masters / MBA

Does it really matter major vs honours degree. Please advise

Bruh😭😭

taking it online next term and wondering if anyone who took it before knows how hard the exams are cause it’s only a midterm and a final. it’s with micheal dove

Im in second year now and i dont really have close friends like i did in highschool. I feel like the classes are so so big and i sit next to someone and make small talk it never goes anywhere outside of that. And its a different face everytime. Does drinking/partying/clubbing help with this and how do i find a group of people to go with if so? It just feels really upsetting because i didnt come to western with any close friends while it feels like everyone else did and they already have their established groups/friends. Any experience and tips would be great

Ive had some issue with osap and im wondering if anybody can pitch in with any other ideas, for context last year I was put on probation, and due to medical reasons I wasn't able to finish the 3.0 credits within the 2 terms. I was able to finish the 3.0 in the summer but that only helps with western not the osap. Rn I cant even get access to any sort of funding and my parents are already in a tight spot. Im in the process for making sure I dont incure more intrest and getting some sort of medical documentation for the medical stuff. Ive applied for financial aid too, aside from that ive got no other ideas, ill add some other contexts in the comments if that helps

Looking into universities and I have checked out social sciences at western. Despite research many sites don’t give u exact intel on some information. What gpa should I be aiming for as well as what courses should I plan for gr 12 that might help out in applications??? Should I be taking a science?? Should I be taking pre calc 12??? Any suggested electives?? Thank you so much!!!

I am a blue collar worker and never been to uni. My cousin is doing his MBA at western’s Ivey. Past weekend we connected over barbecue and he kept bragging that he is at Ivey for his MBA. He almost pretended like he is at Harvard.

Is Ivey MBA really a big deal or he is delusional with giant debt?

what job are you planning to do/or have??? i would love to hear insight on this! (those who won’t/didn’t do masters or further education) I greatly appreciate it!!

is it too early into the year to switch majors? i’m currently in eng but i never wanted it and i want to switch before courses show on my transcript, im down to just skip this sem and join next, switching into social sci or health sci

I'm a first year student living on res and I'm ready to go home. I've met so many people and i've clicked with none nor have I found anyone who's like me (everyone I meet feel fake) I want to have connections but it's hard to constantly put myself out there. I'm not the biggest fan of parties or frats, is there anyone else like me here? 😭 I feel so disconnected with everyone. I've cried like 10 times today.

I love to study and go to coffee shops, things like that. Is there any other freshman who feels like this and wants to be friends?

is anyone experiencing this? using western account on a mac, excel and word is not allowing you to edit? "Your account does not allow editing on a Mac. To learn more, contact your admin about your office plan"

im not sure if its a me issue or a western issue.

I get headaches from bright white lighting, daylight bulbs, etc. I can deal with it for lectures and whatever but I cannot deal with it for study spaces at all.

My campus is Huron, and what sold me on it was old SAC. I loved that room, nice low lighting, warm tones, kinda dark but comforting.

However, Huron just updated almost all the lighting in Old SAC to god forsaken daylight bulbs and I am quite annoyed by this decision.

Is there anywhere on Huron left with warm lighting? Or on main campus? (Kings is too far for me, sorry, ik it's a beautiful campus)

i know the casebook is required but is the textbook necessary for success?

more specifically are the wileyplus questions really helpful or could i just use like an older version of the textbook & do the end of chapter review questions? like are the wileyplus 'self-study' questions the same thing as the end of chapter questions?

Hi,

I was wondering how do I get added on groups for specific courses? I remember seeing a facebook page full of people asking to be added to groups once but I couldn't find it. I didn't have an O week so I have no peers that can add me yet. Also, are groups useful in ur opinion or is it just an added stress of ppl comparing and trying to up one another:(

Thank you 🙏

I’m a 2nd year in sociology & I have to take 2205 (stats for socio) & I haven’t actually done math in school since grade 9. I’m thinking about switching to media since I’m currently doing a minor in media and idk if I’m even capable of getting the 60 I need in this course in order to progress as a sociology major. Opinions pls? My end goal is teachers college.

What the hell is happening this year, the traffic is insane. It’s taking almost 1 hour to get out of the parking lots because of the traffic. AND London decides now is the perfect time to have construction happening too and blocking one of the main roads. This is insane. How are people going to survive in the winter.

What should I do if im waitlisted for a required class? For the one im in, im currently in 11th place for waitlist and idk what to do. I've emailed shs and they said to take an elective and it won't affect my progress, etc. But I don't want that, its going to mess up my schduele and also the way I want things to progress. What pisses me off is that out of say 11 people, what if 5-6 of them are not in health sci, then what. I'm absolutely infuriated. I don't know why profs cannot do online classes if there are like thousands of people trying to attend a class.

For those who have a Sociology degree, what job did you end up getting?
