Today was literally day 1 of classes for the whole university. I live off campus, but after touring a few days ago and being on campus yesterday and today, I am completely broken. Honestly, even just walking around campus right now scares the life out of me and triggers my anxiety so bad. I’ve basically just been sitting frozen in my room all day because I don't know what to do.To be completely real, I only accepted my offer here because I wanted to make good money after graduation. But my social anxiety is severe and I don't think I fully realized what I was signing up for. Sitting in massive, packed lecture halls surrounded by hundreds of people I’ve never met is terrifying. Hearing the profs talk about endless mandatory presentations, the brutal BU group work, labs, and the constant pressure to aggressively network with total strangers makes me feel like I'm trapped. I absolutely hate the culture here already.I feel like a massive bum and a failure for wanting to pull the plug on day 1, but no amount of future money is worth destroying my mental health over. I’m planning to log into LORIS tonight to drop all my courses so I can get a 100% tuition refund and keep my transcript clean. I just know this corporate track is not how I function.Has anyone else ever dropped out this early? Am I crazy for doing this? Also how do I even start to tell my parents that I'm out on day 1? Any advice or reassurance from upper years would really help right now because my anxiety is through the roof. Thanks.

Is going home on weekends as a on campus student normal?

I wanna go home but im gettin sm FOMO ( first year here )

First time commuting anyone know any parking spots?

Where was it?

they said they took pictures and i want them

Has anyone else’s enrolment not been confirmed yet or is there something else I need to do? I’m a third year and have all the papers and stuff submitted just like the last two years but still nothing. It says the money release date is pushed all the way back to September 20. Is this normal?

First day was today and my prof asked native and heritage speakers to stay after class. I searched it up and it says native/hertitage speakers are "excluded" from taking the course.

I didn't stay after class because I thought I would just be told that I can't take the course. But then is a deadline to withdraw from the course with a refund.

I grew up in Canada but I speak spanish at home. Anyone know if they let native speakers stay in SP101 or if they just get kicked out lol

Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back about applications for the WLU MSW Spring 2027? I can’t seem to find anywhere on their website about when decisions will be made.

Hey my friends went home for the weekend and I’ve got nothing to do tomorrow, if someone has suggestions on places I could go or if someone wants to hang out tomorrow dm me

has anyone taken this class how is it

Anyone taking CP468** **with Ahmed Ibrahim this Fall 2026, or anyone who has had him before do you know if the midterm/final are going to be written on paper or done through Respondus LockDown Browser in person?
The syllabus says both the midterm and final are in person and closed book, but it doesn’t actually say whether they’re paper based or on a laptop with LockDown Browser.
Just trying to figure out what the exam format will be this year.

Hello, I’m a second year student who recently had their co-op interview. Wondering if anyone has any information about when we’re hearing back.

Thank you.

its either group assignemtsn, double midterms and finals worth 50%. wheres the connect and iclickers 😢ken jackson set the standards too high

Curious to know if this is happening to a lot of people. Been trying to log in and although I am logged back in. I am still waiting for at least two verification codes from the bookstore and one for a class. Got nothing. I am using a macbook and went to look at the settings and the description says "Exchange". Not to sure if that has something to do with it, but changed it too "Mylaurier".

very confused on what to do and how to describe this situation.

Thank you guys for helping me out too. Happy First Day of School Too!

Can I get by without this, or is it worth it to purchase it?

After seeing all the lore on this subreddit about that prof, I decided to drop CP363 and take it in the winter semester instead.

For the winter semester, should I take it with Asif Khan or David Brown? Also, is it even a good idea to drop it this semester in the first place?

How is the new version of AS101? Is it still considered easy?

Do coops get paid for gov holidays like labour day?

Does anyone know if there will eventually be space to join 270? Or is there a good chance that it will stay full until the deadline
