This is me coming to terms with the fact that our neighbors down south have willingly elected a r*pist into the Oval Office. And the most "far-right" premier in our country (Danielle Smith) is still a centrist moderate in America LOL (this isn't a dig at Smith btw, I still respect her even if I don't agree with some of the things she does). Also let's be honest, the CPC is NOT the same as the GOP.

Things really suck in Canada right now, not gonna lie. But if this is the worst we can possibly get, then that's still pretty damn good.

for anyone who’s volunteered for the convocation, around how long did the training last when you did it?

Hello, just accepted my admission for Accounting next fall. I just want to know what I should do during my college years to really secure a good job once im finished with college.

1. When do you start internships? Is having an internship every summer during the 4 years good?

2. Is co-op program recommended?

3. How do you find these internship opportunities?

I live in calgary, And i applied for both universities. I got into bio early admission for UA, but i only got second choice (enviro sci) at uC. Im not really sure what to do, because U of C is cheaper, (I will live at home) but is bio a better major? I worry I won’t be able to get a wide range of opportunities with enviro. Any input or advice would be very appreciated.

Hey guys, does anyone have experience with getting diagnosed with ADHD while at U of C?

For additional context, I’m an out of province student in my early 20s. I think I’m displaying lots of ADHD symptoms (my dad also has it too, which I heard increases likelihood).

Thanks so much in advance for any guidance!!

I would love to hear experiences from students/alumni of the 5-year Eng/BComm dual degree program. Also, feel free to chime in if you’re a prospective/future student - I’d love to chat about what you’re thinking/planning as well! Specifically:

1. What Engineering major and BComm Concentration did you choose/are you considering?

2. Are you planning on pursuing a career in Engineering, with your Commerce degree as more of an add-on? Or vice versa?

3. What was your thought process in choosing your major/concentration? Did you choose a combination that compliment each other? Or did you choose the major/concentration that you were most interested in, regardless of ‘compatibility’?

ie. Software Engineering and Business Technology Management or Business Analytics seem to compliment each other? Pretty much any engineering major and Business Analytics/Finance/Operations Management seems to make sense if your goal is upper management? Whereas it doesn’t seem like there would be a ton of crossover (in terms of career) with a concentration like Marketing or Personal Financial Planning. But I can definitely see the thought process being that you could either pursue a career in engineering or as a personal financial planner depending on the job market.

4. How did you structure your dual degree path? How was the workload? If you could it again, is there anything you would change?

From reading comments here, I’ve seen some recommend taking 5 Engineering courses and 1 Business course per semester to leave summers open for internships. Others seem to recommend taking 5 Engineering courses in fall/winter and do 2-4 business courses in spring/summer, lessening their workload. There are probably other options as well.

5. How long did it take you to finish your dual degree? Or if you are a current student, how long do you predict it will take?

Personally… I’m definitely interested in stretching out my degrees in the interest of preserving my mental health in the meantime, lol. But there are cons to doing that as well… and then of course, I think about whether it makes more sense to do a MBA instead.

6. Roughly, how much did you spend on your degrees? Or how much do you predict you’ll spend? Not including living expenses.

7. What has your experience been like in terms of internships/as a new grad/your career progression since graduating? Do you feel like you’ve benefitted from both degrees in terms of applicable skills/knowledge? Have employers shown interest in the dual degree? Have you been able to leverage having dual degrees in your career progression at all? Such as during salary negotiations and/or promotions.

8. Do you tend to use Advisors in Schulich, Haskayne, or both? In general and when planning out your courses. Do you prefer using the advisors from one school vs the other? What about generally, do you prefer one school vs the other?

9. Do you have any other advice for someone entering the program in Fall 2025? If so, I’d love to hear it!

Thanks so much!

Does anybody know what happened to the grades? I thought it said they would be out in 24 hours… it’s an online test what’s taking so long

does anyone know if the you need a C+, C or C- for cpsc 331 to use it as a prereq cause I know its needed for a lot of upper year courses? I'm taking it right now & obviously I'll try to do better that that but knowing what the minimum is would give me some peace of mind cause the finals 50%

thanks in advance guys. I couldn't find it anywhere online

Hi guys so I’m currently ranked 10th on the waitlist for OBHR in the block week. Should just give up now, or do people tend to drop closer to the start of class?

Hi everyone, hope you all are well!

This is a very short survey for the purpose of a university research project based on childcare programs! Would really appreciate if you could take out 15 seconds of your time to fill it out!

Thank you so much in advance!

Did anyone receive their grades yet?

Hello fellow gangsters, i BOMBED my midterm for 225(electronics) how cooked am i? should i just put the toaster in my tub now or whats the move from here

Hi everyone, Should I take math 265 and 275. Would a stats major, quantitative finance benefit from the extra things I learn in math 275 ( which is supposed to be for engineering) or should I just take 265 and spend time doing other things.

Hello everyone, if you applied to these programs during early addmision or general addmision. Could you let me know what your overall average was? Thank you

I lost this, any idea if you know where it is or how to get to a lost and found?

Do you guys think I can get into uofc or even mru biology or biochemistry with an average of 85 and above, I’m really aiming for over 90 but like I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Is 85 okay for regular admission and early?

So basically I missed a midterm for one of my classes yesterday because I was not feeling well that day. I already emailed the professor with medical documentation way before the time of the exam and he still has not gotten back to me yet.

I’ve never missed a midterm before so I’m a bit concerned and I’m struggling to be patient and I was confused about the procedure😅

On the course outline it says that I have to email the prof preferably before the exam and I will only be approved for the makeup exam if the reason is acceptable. I believe I fit those conditions but I’m still scared because the midterm is worth quite a bit of my mark.

Was just wondering if anyone could provide any input and if anyone has been in this situation before!

Thanks!

Hi! I’ve recently received conditional admission to the computer science program at U of C, and I’m curious about a few things. Can anyone share their experiences with internships in the program? How easy is it to find a relevant internship, and are most of them paid? Also, what specializations or concentrations did you pursue(I'm more specifically geared towards data science), and how did they shape your career prospects? Finally, what’s the job market like for graduates of the program in calgary or canada in general? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone. Yesterday evening, at some point before 5-6:30, someone left something behind in Mathison hall where I was sitting. I waited that 1.5 hours there while studying and didn't touch it, but took it with me afterwards. I'm looking to return it, so please contact me and let me know what you lost for verification purposes. I'm keeping that confidential for the moment so I get the right person.

If anyone else has any suggestions for returning it otherwise please let me know! I've checked for posts already on kijiji, marketplace, and lost and found facebook groups. I'll be returning it to lost and found either today or next week, but I thought I should also post here.

Other than d2l are there any good tools I can use to keep track of all my grades and my gpa and such?

My goat 😭😭

Hey everyone, I wanted to take a shot here and see if anyone is interested in 1on1 or group kickboxing sessions.

I've been training and competing in Muay Thai/kickboxing for 12 years and currently work as self employed a personal trainer using kickboxing/martial arts to improve mental and physical health.

Aside from the physical benefits the stress relief provided by activities like this are immense and often forgotten about. My business is more aimed at normal people looking to improve upon themselves but I am extremely welcoming to higher level athletes as well.

Sessions start at $40 and can be done in your own space or at the gym I currently work out of.

If anyone is Interested shoot me a dm and I'll send some info.

I'm a male British student looking to exchange in Canada and I would love to know some honest insights from Calgary students. Particularly about the things I wouldn't necessarily find from Calgary's website and the things you wish you knew before attending the college, the good and the bad things. I am also curious as to what social life is like at Calgary, I'm not massively bothered on going out but it is nice to once in a while. Honestly any insight into whether you would recommend Calgary or not as a study abroad location would be very helpful, thank you. (Also My other options are Uni of Ottowa, Dalhousie and Waterloo)

Trying to figure out my COST classes for eng and like they are just saying like antirequisites. Does that mean I can’t that course or are those courses the same and would be offered the same credits for both?

At this point, it's become iconic and I can't believe it's gone now. The rack feels too empty everytime I pass

Hello, my name is Hunter. I am posting here to invite you to the University of Calgary Anime Club. I see people looking for friends all the time on this subreddit so I hope this kind of post is welcome. The club was once huge, much larger. We are trying to build it back up to what it used to be.
