Friends

Hiii so I’m kind of new~ish to Thunder Bay, its been kind of difficult making friends here especially since everyone tends to be in a clique and not wanting to expand their circle, most especially in my classes or maybe I’m not just putting myself out there, so here I am. I have been here for a few months or almost a year and that’s just my own 2 cents. I am looking forward to expanding my social circle and down on explore more activities with different people, I am an introvert but open up more the more I get comfortable around a person. I did move from another country so I do miss the friends I made back home but I tend to prefer quality time with people. Anyways I think I just rambled off a little bit but yeah looking forward to meeting people, feel free to dm me. I’m 19 btw so kind of looking for people my age range kind off (both genders, idk why I had to specify😭)Thanks.

Seeking a Thunder Bay Buddy for Comedy, Adventure, and Cultural Exchange!

Hey there! I’m new to Thunder Bay and on the lookout for a friend who shares an interest in stand-up comedy, outdoor activities, and good conversations. Here’s a bit about me:

About Me:

  • Background: I’ve worked for over 10 years and decided it was time for a big change, so I came to Canada to embrace student life and explore new experiences.
  • Curious by Nature: I have a strong curiosity (yes, the kind that leads me to wander through cemeteries to read tombstones and ask questions if something catches my eye).
  • Outdoor Enthusiast: I’m into all kinds of outdoor activities—cycling, random walks, and fitness are my go-tos. I’m up for trying any sport, even extreme ones. Learning to ski or trying paragliding? Absolutely!
  • Comedy Fan: I’m a big fan of stand-up comedy and would love to hear your favorite English jokes. In return, I’d be thrilled to share the humor of Chinese comedy with you—it’s got its own unique twist!
  • Food Experimenter: I enjoy cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, often coming up with my own creations for fun.

If you’re someone who loves sports, stand-up comedy, and thought-provoking conversations, let’s connect! I’d love to exchange stories, laughs, and maybe even a few recipes.

Lakehead Engineering

Hello, I am wondering what the competitive admission averages are for the eng programs at Lakehead? I couldn't find any sources online. Will you most likely be admitted if you are just above the 70% average minimum threshold? If you're wondering, I'm specifically looking into chemical engineering.

Thank you

Diploma to degree

Hello everyone,

I graduated from Mohawk College with a diploma in Business Administration - Marketing. I am currently struggling to find work after school and am considering getting a degree.

I believe Lakehead has a program where I can do an additional one or two years to get my degree.

I was wondering if anyone had more insight on this, where I can go to learn more or if anyone has done this transition themselves.

I’m worried the transition moving from college to university will be too much.

Thanks!

First month in, and I have to ask this...

Hey all, I've shared here previously that I am a mature student who returned to university after a few thousand years away from it. I'm currently taking undergrad courses at the Orillia campus, majoring in English, and specializing in creative writing.

I don't know if it's because I am finally studying something I love, a type of tonal shift from pre-pandemic learning to the post-pandemic model, my age now vs. back then, or something else entirely, but so far, my courses don't feel that "hard", especially compared to when I was last in University. I'm actually enjoying myself in my classs. I feel like I am engaging in the material a lot better, and it's exciting to me to study things that are appealing to me, and don't necessarily have to follow standardized learning templates. As such, I feel I am excelling in most of my classes.

While I know it's only my first semester in my first year, this is definitely not what I was expecting. As such, I almost feel overwhelmed with how "easy" everything feels, which of course leads to a type of imposter syndrome, that I don't deserve to feel this good, and that perhaps I actually am in way over my head, and don't quite realize it yet. Is this normal? Am I crazy, or just overthinking this?

Is the transfer program overwhelming?

Hey everyone, I finally made my mind and gonna start in Summer next year. I am working in telecom doing fibre network designing. I remeber in my diploma that I was bad at doing labs and lack a lot of practical knowledge in electrical. Did you find those labs hard if someone like me who dont know even how to make a basic circuit on breadboard. Its been more than 3 years of study and I am just nervous.

A friend caught someone messing with the bikes at LU

So a friend of mine shared this on insta a few days back. Today I came back to grab my bike and I noticed that someone had taken the back wheel of the bike right next to mine!

I am well aware about bike getting stolen in Tbay but I do feel that this time bike theft has escalated a lot within the campus as well.

Not really sure what could be done from our end to prevent such actions :(

Pecha kucha exemplar

I thought I'd check here to see if any B Ed students had taken the eLearning course and were willing to share their Pecha kucha assignment with me. I'm just looking for an example to see if I'm on the right track for what the teacher wants. Thanks!

What are the dining halls like?

How is the food at Lakehead? Anyone have experience with navigating a food allergy on a meal plan? I tried reaching out to ask about process/policies but have received zero response.

Is It safe to run alone on and around campus?

My kid is applying to Lakehead and she’s a runner - prefers to run alone, for exercise and mental health. Is the area generally safe/ well populated to run during the day on your own? Are there any decent trails close to campus? Advice?

Xbox Internet

So, I'm currently a 2nd-year student in the North Residence and trying to see if there is a way to connect my Xbox to the internet but no networks show up when I try to set it up. Also sidenote, does anyone know if the ethernet ports work in the rooms?

Compressed bscn full credit course

Hello all,

I’m in compressed bscn and thinking of applying to med school once i’m done. For those in 3rd year and 4th year, are the 1.0 credit courses graded on a pass/fail system. NOSM required a minimum of 10 full course credits and 20 half course credits, or a combination of at the university degree level (not sure what that means). I’m not sure if I’m reading the site right, but will double check if course on a pass/fail will be accepted.

Anyways, again, are the 1.0 credits on a pass/fail or numerical grade?

Thanks

Purchasing PDF Books- Buyer Beware

I have seen various postings of individuals selling PDF books in a few different university and student group chats.

These people likely did not pay to access these, as oftentimes (in my experience), when you have an online version of a book, you have to access it through an online portal for a limited amount of time and do not recieve it in a pdf form. However, there could be sites out there that do this, I just am weary of it.

The sellers are likely finding the books for free online and trying to make easy money. Ex. why would a lakehead student be selling books in USD?

I have used library genesis and found success in finding free PDF versions of books, which is likey what they are use; https://libgen.is
