Hi everyone!

I’m starting my Computer Science degree at Acadia University this January, and I’m trying to figure out which type of calculator I’ll need. Should I go for a scientific calculator or invest in a graphing one?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in the program or has some insight. Do we even need a calculator much, or are most things done on computers? I just want to be prepared!

Thanks in advance for your advice!

For anyone in the nursing program, what are your thoughts on it so far? It’s a new program that no one has graduated from yet so I’m very curious to hear what people think. I’ve been accepted to nursing at Acadia and STFX so far.

Is there a lot of hands on learning or is it mostly papers?

Is there a dedicated nursing building yet - where do classes take place?

What are class sizes like - are any of them online?

Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'd be really grateful for any help. I’m looking into the nursing program at Acadia as part of a career transition. I’m currently a software engineer and hold a degree in engineering from UNB but have always been drawn to healthcare and nursing. The admission requirements seem a bit strict, and I’m facing a unique challenge with my educational background. My GPA in engineering is 3.9. However, my high school education was completed a long time ago in a country that’s no longer stable, and I’m unable to obtain my high school transcripts. I am also considering other universities (e.g., CBU )in the province.

My other concern is that if Acadia is a diploma mill. The last few years we keep hearing this name thrown around for pretty much evey university.

Also I am a male, I’d probably be the odd one out lol—how does that affect admissions, class dynamics, or even the overall experience in nursing school?

Does anyone know if Acadia might accept my engineering GPA or provide alternate pathways for someone in my situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

On self service how do you drop a course that has 2 parts in different semesters?

Hi Everyone, I want get some suggestions from you regarding the course selection. I a bachelor's student in acadia i will be doing bachelor's in computer science in winter semester. My course starts on 6 December and i wanted to get some advice(see title). What courses should i take i am not so strong in mathematics so i dont want to go hard on myself during first semester. I am really interested learning about computer programming and all. I have to take 5 courses so any help would be great.

Hey everyone! I’m coming to Acadia University for my bachelor’s and planning to live on campus. I reached out to them about kitchen access because I want to make my own food, but they said a meal plan is mandatory. Does anyone know if there’s a kitchen accessible from the dorm rooms? And would I actually be able to cook my own meals there, or is it more for just heating things up? Any insight would be super helpful—thanks!

Hey everyone, I am hoping to apply to get into Kinesiology after high school. I am in grade 11 with an average of 89.75 percent so far through the first semester (98 law, 96 bio, 70 pre-cal, 95 English). Will these be good enough to get accepted? Does anyone else that got into kin remember what their high school grades were lol? Thanks

Has anyone transferred to Algonquin to Acadia in the kinesiology program? I’m wondering about credit transfer between the two and what courses were accepted for kine classes

An off chance i know - but is anyone looking to get to Halifax Airport on the morning of December 18th? Looking to share a ride to cut costs.

Does Acadia waive the language requirement(ielts, toefl, pte) for international students if we can show proofs of studying in English medium institutions, or have taken English in our courses? I have heard some Universities not needing to show the specified language requirement.

Good evening to whoever reads this. I apologize for the formatting because I'm on mobile. As the title says, I am thinking of transferring to Acadia from X. I had a few questions and was hoping someone would be kind enough to answer them. I'm currently in my first year of a BSC in Kineseology at StFX, but I'm not liking it as much as I'd hoped. I have a chronic illness, and don't drink as a result (which is pretty much the staple of STFX's culture) so I'm quite lonely because EVERYONE drinks here. It is also super cliquey here. Are people friendlier/is it easier to make friends at Acadia? Is not drinking more accepted there than it is here? Lastly, would anyone have any general advice? (I.e. what you like about Acadia, how walkable the campus is, etc.) Any and all responses are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for reading/in advance.

hello, i searched the university website but only found dates regarding to finding supervisor. other universities usually have deadline for 1st dec/15 dec.

i was wondering is there any similar deadline for this university or the admissions start at the start of each semester?

(I'm an international student by the way)

Has anyone taken chem1033 & chem1043 online courses? I would need to transfer the credits to a different school and would prefer to get them done as quickly as possible. How long do you think would take to complete each? Has anyone done both at the same time? Thank you in advance.

Hi, has anybody completed their practicum that is part of the TESOL certificate at Acadia? I know it is 20 hours, but wondering how many weeks it took you to complete it, how many hours you did per day, etc.

I trued to contact multiple supervisors for Masters in CS program but I get no response. What should I state in my email to have them respond to me?

Hello as the topic says, I would like to get my SOP reviewed by any international or any university student who have experience in this.

Any help would be really appreciated 😊

I can’t find any info about it anywhere, but I assume they’re still doing it?

I'm a first year History Major and I seriously need friends. I don't live on res so I'm so out of the loop 🫠 How do people talk to people I'm lost as hell

I have received my offer letter, and the start date is January 6 2025 . Due to some personal reasons, can I request an extension of 10-15 days from the university? Is it possible?

Please advise!!!!

If anyone is interested in having some casual games of PTCG, please let me know. Thanks.

The title pretty much says it all which leads me into a few questions I’d like to ask current students at Acadia- what dorm would you consider to be the best dorm? What can I expect from life on campus? What tips can you offer an incoming transfer student that you wish someone had told you before you started at Acadia?

Some miscellaneous details about me, I’m a trans woman from the US, I’m looking to study history

Update: I showed my dad the acceptance letter but he can’t just be happy for me. All he can think about is how expensive it’ll be for me to attend and how I don’t have enough saved up to pay entirely out of pocket. He also didn’t want me emailing the university about the financial situation- doesn’t matter I emailed them anyway. So now I have a new question, how is the financial aid at Acadia? Edit: another question, how are the on campus jobs, and where can I browse them/apply?

I heard word that there is a magic the gathering club that meets on Fridays. is this true?

I’m just starting my grade 12 year and I believe AcadiaU is the school for me. I’m your average student, what are my odds looking like with an 79% overall average in grade 11. Should I try super hard this year or should I go for early admission. Help a brotha out

what r my chances of getting into nursing with an 85% average as a girl with autism and a learning disability?

I am currently in the process of applying to my program and I'm completing a math course that is a prerequisite. I'm planning to enroll for the fall intake. By when should I submit my application to ensure that my visa and all other formalities are completed on time?"

Your advice will be very helpful

What if a supervisor agreed to supervise me for Masters program in CS but then I decide not to go further with my application? I also want to know if it is okay to ask multiple faculty members to supervise me.

Hello everyone,

I am an international student currently facing difficulties in my application for the Computer Science program at Acadia University for the winter intake. I have already submitted all the required documents on the application website, but it seems that my submission hasn’t been processed correctly. I’m trying to figure out what might be wrong with my application materials.

I reached out to the enrollment advisor listed on the application site for assistance, but was informed that as an international applicant, I fall under the jurisdiction of a different advisor. I was provided with their email and phone number. Despite emailing them on August 14th, I have not yet received a response.

Consequently, yesterday I utilized the appointment scheduling feature on the application website to set up a virtual meeting with this advisor. However, when meeting time came, I waited in the online room for thirty minutes, but they did not show up. During this period, I attempted to call them but received no answer. Subsequently, I sent another email inquiring about when they would be available for a virtual appointment and am still awaiting a response.

Time is of the essence for me, as I need to apply for a visa after receiving my offer, however, I'm currently stuck as my application seems incomplete, and I'm unable to reach my admissions advisor despite multiple attempts since the end of July.

As the situation continues, I am becoming increasingly anxious. Could you please advise me on what steps I should take next?

I’m an international student arriving at Acadia on September 9th due to a delay in my passport stamping, and I’ve been granted a one-week extension. I’m interested in changing my program from the Bachelor of Applied Science to the CAS program. Could you let me know if this is possible and what steps I should take?
