Looking to make new friends

Hey everyone ! I go to Laurier as well, Waterloo campus. Iā€™ve been trying to make friends here on res and itā€™s been challenging to say the least. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s because Iā€™m gay or what because Iā€™m from Toronto. Iā€™ve never been ā€œin the closetā€ till I got here šŸ˜­I like to play games, watch shows, chill out. Dw I wonā€™t try to ā€œget withā€ you just bc ur a guy !

BBA Acceptance in February?

Hello all,

I go to a private school (de-semestered) in Ontario with low(er) inflation, and my marks to be submitted to OUAC are as follows: Calc 86, Adv Functions 89, English 91, IB 93, Data (Summer) 95, and Law 98 = Average of approx. 92

I heard that Laurier makes a decision 2-4 weeks after getting February marks, so I was wondering if it's possible at all for me to get an offer late February. I'm nervous because Ive heard of people being rejected with my marks, so some peace of mind in February would be nice :)

Thanks!

History Minor

Planning on minoring in history. When I look on the Laurier website, the only requirements that it shows is a total of 6 credits, 4 at the senior level, and 2 are recommended to be Canadian history. Are there no specific courses that are required to obtain a history minor? That would be great if you can take pretty much any courses, just found it odd since the major/minor requirements for other programs that I have looked at always have at least one specific course you have to take.

Side note, if this is the case and you can take any courses for this minor, does anyone know if taking courses at UW through the cross-registration would be valid credits towards a minor? TYIA, wanted to save myself going in to arts advising if possible.

Has anyone submitted a petition to withdraw after deadline?

I need help with a petition. I had an A+ in a BU288 from last term but couldnā€™t write the final as I was sick and submitted a deferral. My deferral got denied and I now have an F on my transcript. I wanted to ask if itā€™s still possible to submit a late withdrawal petition for the course? I really donā€™t want an F on my transcript and the school will not let me take a deferred exam.

Any advice would be appreciated.

French students?

Hey everyone!

I'm coming to Laurier from QuƩbec and was wondering if there are any other French-speaking students around.

Are there any student groups, meetups, or places on campus where French speakers tend to hang out? Would love to hear from you!

Thanks in advance!

Is BBA + Fin math worth it?

I recently got accepted into the BBA and Fin math dual degree program and I wanted to know if it is better to accept that over the BBA. With the BBA I feel like I could have a higher GPA but then again the Fin math one has guaranteed co-op and itā€™s overall a more prestigious program. Any thought?

Is it just me or does laurier brantford feel dead?

Hello everyone, so I have been at laurier brantford for quite a while now, and am starting to feel like the campus is quiet and lacking in energy. im not sure if its just me or if others are feeling the same way about that campus.

I am also planning to transfer to the waterloo campus and wondering if things are different there. has anyone ever transferred from brantford to waterloo? how did you find the campus and your overall experience?

Has anyone found ways to make things feel a bit more lively or connected at brantford? as someone with a long commute, i am curious about how can i get easily involved or make the most of my time there before transferring. any tips?
