I hate my student ID photo

I'm in my second year now, and I hate my student ID picture. It's also quite a bit different from how I normally look and I've had a few experiences of people not believing it was actually me. Would I be able to possibly change it, or am I stuck with it for another few years?

[For Applications] How important are the subjects of major interest? Can I change it later?

Applying for computer science but I'm not sure what to pick as my major interest. "Computer science" is one of them? what does that even mean? Can I change the subject later if I find out I picked wrong?

Humanities Honours

Hi there, I'm looking for feedback from current students. My American kid is interested in studying the Great Books in college. We are aware of the cap on international student entries.

Looks like the Humanities Program is strong on paper, how is it day-to-day? Also, is there any indication liberal arts are at risk given Carleton's financial challenges?

Thanks so much!

Does anyone else hate being a TA?

It has nothing to do with my students or the course instructor. It is one of the easiest and least stressful jobs I’ve ever had so it’s not because of the workload. I just hate it. I don’t know if it’s because I’m the sole TA for the course so I am somewhat isolated. I don’t know if anyone else feels the same way.

Edit: hate might be too strong of a word

A question about Pre-Calculus requirement for Engineering Program

I'm an American high school student in 12th grade. With how my school is set up in block schedule my Pre-calculus class won't start until January and won't finish until may. I have no doubt that I will pass the class but will it affect my application with it being a prerequisite? Should I not spend the 100$ fee because of this?

Thanks!

MSW program application

For those who have applied to the MSW program at Carleton- Do you have to complete all parts of the application before you pay and submit (upload all documents, transcripts, etc.)? I'm a little bit confused if I can enter some parts of the application now and add other things later. If anyone knows the answer to this, I would be grateful! TIA

internal transfer to civil engineering

I'm a physics student finishing up a prerequisite course (SCH4U), which I should be done by late January. Once I'm done, I'll be able to apply. Does anyone know if civil engineering usually fills up fast/will i be put at a disadvantage if apply at that time?

also what is the minimum CGPA to be considered for civil?

🎤 Looking to Start a Comedy Club at Carleton University – Anyone interested?

Hey everyone!

I’m interested in starting a Comedy Club here at Carleton. If you’re into stand-up or just love a good laugh, let’s bring together some like-minded folks to create a space where we can share jokes, practice routines, and maybe even organize some shows.

We could host events, open mics, or just meet to workshop ideas and joke around. Whether you're a seasoned comedian or just curious, everyone would be welcome.

If you’re interested or have any ideas, drop a comment or send me a message.

BIOL1902 Appreciation Post

Anyone else taking this course, or have taken it, and absolutely love it? The content is interesting and simple to understand. The tests and quizzes are reasonable and not too tough. Prof. Runtz is hilarious.

If you're ever looking for a good first year elective I wholeheartedly advocate for BIOL1902!!!

Is this weird?

Hey guys, so im a junior in uni, 24, and i've been thinking about this lately and it's kind of eating me up whether if it's weird or not. I started uni during the pandemic and I feel like it stunted my growth as I was always online and stuck in my room like a teen. Never felt like I matured.

I have a couple first year courses this year as electives, and I managed to click with a few students in class, make new friends, and it's honestly really cool learning about their culture and having a diverse friend group. I only have one 2nd year course. So i'm surrounded by this age group constantly.

It's just they are 18-19. I don't want to be labelled as a weirdo or whatever. Now studying with them is normal and fun, but getting asked to hangout I'd like to but yk it's kinda making me second-guess myself.

It's not that I don't have friends who are older, it's just when they (specifically) ask to hang in campus or at the mall, I'd love to, but my brain is kind of second-guessing.

I feel like if I had the uni life at 20-24 I'd be in a different position than what I am now. I'd just like to get your opinions on it.

What's the best way to mobilize against unpedagogical classes (ELEC 2607)?

This class is already hard to begin with due to the density of the material, but the prof goes and makes it harder in bullshit ways like putting a 90+ question midterm exam on Brightspace with no return function and no way to see the whole exam (thereby limiting accessibility by making it online AND by preventing time management strategies), having the labs cover material that was barely or not at all covered in class, and so on.

I like challenging classes, and I like, you know, actually *learning* something, but I swear to god this class is so poorly planned out in its assessments it actively incentivizes you to use ChatGPT instead of learning fair and square because you're not given enough to actually succeed in it. And I'm not even saying this as someone who is fresh out of high-school, either--no, I already have a bachelor's degree from another university and of my half decade in post-secondary education I have never come across a class that is outright *unfair*. And I'm a strong student normally, if you would believe it! Like, holy shit, I'm the kind of person who would accept failing -- and HAS accepted failing -- if the assessments are fair and I'm the one who fucked up.

This isn't fair. This is is infuriating. Who can I speak to?

Question about the UC QuickEats store

I'm in my first semester this year and I have a question about the QuickEats store on the first floor of UC. Is there some way to pay for what you take on the hey chef app, or is the store camera monitored so you can just grab something and walk out and your payment method will be charged automatically?

Supplementary Parking Spots

Does anyone know if there are any spots where I can park that aren’t on the campus? I don’t have a permit but I’ve having trouble with the buses so if there’s a place within a certain radius of the campus where I might be able to park my car without paying anything, I’d love to know, thanks 🙏
