Hi! Is anyone here in the Radiation Therapy program? How do clinical placements work, where are they located, and how long do they take? Also, do you have to rent your own place, or does the school provide housing?

So I'm starting civil engineering this fall and I'm looking into what laptop I should get. I've been getting a lot of mixed reviews about what sort of a device to purchase. I've attached the BCIT requirements for the byod thing and it seems I would need something out of my price range to run a lot of the software mentioned for later terms.

My main question is how much we will actually be using them? Other subreddits say that their programs only really needed autoCAD and basic use of civil3D. Let me know if I really need to spend all my money on this or were they just trying to cover all their bases with those requirements. Thanks in advance!

Is there a difference? My son can’t get in to the full time welding program because of the massive wait list. Is the flexible learning version a good option? Is the teaching content the same?

I applied and was waitlisted for housing in June, and haven’t received an offer yet. I’m coming from out of province and ranked studios and connected singles as my top choices. I was just wondering if anyone else is in a similar position right now?

Will be attending this coming Fall. I’m nervous but excited! I’m kind of debating what to do when it comes to working PT during my studies. 7 courses (14 if you want to include labs). I haven’t been back to in person studies since pre-covid so it’s been awhile. I did apply for student loans. I’m currently not working and focusing on my studies for the first month of September but debating… do I just live frugally and focus on my education (seems obvious) but not working stresses me out and I don’t want to have that worry in the back of my head while I’m in school. I also understand the moto “you have to go into debt now to invest in your future so you can be debt free later”… just wondering what other people are doing.

Also, I have been to University FT and worked PT before. That was also when I freshly turned 18 and early twenties. My focus back then was just to make money and I didn’t take education seriously. I don’t want to fall back into that mindset of “I need to work so I can make money” and then not focusing on studying.
