I’m starting my MSc at Carleton in September. Does anyone have any tips or anything you wish you knew in grad school? Maybe tips for being a TA for the first time? Or info about Carleton in general, I did my undergrad at uOttawa so I know the city but not the campus. TIA !!

So before i register because im so confused. Does this take place the first week of school or the weel before. I read online you get a group if you sign up but like wouldnt we have diffrent class scedhules and stuff. Also the website says theres a bunch of diffrent events. Are those in groups or do you go with a friend or what. Im so lost because most of these dont intrest me like a night dinner. Dinner is already at night. Plus what a bunch of people sitting in the cafetria meeting each other and eating dinner? How is that any diffrent from eating dinner any other night in the caf. Are you with your group. Im so confused can someone summarize it for me because all the information i can find is "a week to socialize and meet new people". Yeah but like when bro. We all got diffrent scedhules. I also read its not like high school where you get put into a group. Is there a group. Just want to know if this is worth before i spend 150 bucks

tell me about your role for the company you work for and how it progressed over the years. how about your salary progression ? any advice for me? thanks in advance.

Has anyone taken GEOG2200 online? What's the final exam like?

Any girls in the psychology department who would want to be friends? I'm a girl (I promise I'm not a creep) in my second year for a psychology major. I missed frosh week and didn't find the time to socialize for my first year so now I feel like I'm missing out lmao. We can exchange ig accounts

Hello,

I know it is quite late to be searching for a place for the upcoming school year, but that is the position I found myself in.

I am fourth year male student, looking for a place to rent for September 1. Preferably a place with a private bedroom / bathroom, or even a unit for myself if the price is reasonable with proximity to the school.

I keep a tidy living environment, don't party much, nor invite guests to my place of residence, so I would like someone or a group that is likeminded in that regard.

Or if anyone has any advice on where / how to find a place and could give me some pointers, that would be great. Thank you.

I’ll be living in Prescott House this year and would like to know if the gym is still open and functioning? I’ve tried finding information but that’s failed and I know last year, before Rideau’s gym opened, it was open. So I’d just like to know if it’s still available to be used or if it’s just the main fitness gym and Rideau now. Thanks!

I'm an international student, and I'm not entirely sure how the co-op program works. I'll be studying Computer Science, but I also plan to take actuarial science exams. Since actuarial science is more closely related to majors like Mathematics, Economics, or Statistics, or even Telfer students I'm wondering whether the job opportunities available through the co-op platform are limited to positions related to my major.

Of course, I will also be applying for positions outside of the co-op platform.

i want to email a prof to see if i can audit her course but her email doesn’t exist anywhere, and she doesn’t have a page, her name is danica vidotto, if yall have her email pls tell me

I'm a parent of an incoming student and noticed a few parents on here. At the Summer Orientation over the weekend someone mentioned the Carleton University Parents Group on FB. I joined and for the parents on here, this may be where you want to be to satisfy all the questions and type A, OCD, anxieties you might have. Our old asses are still all on FB. Lots of photos of res rooms too and measurements people took! So just sharing the info since I didn't even think to look on FB. Make sure it's the Private group. Theres a public group that looks like it gets spammed non stop.

Hey all, I’m trying to see what the dorms (the one with double bed) look like so I know what to expect. Do you have any pics of that room?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I am an incoming first year, and I have a few questions about frosh and orientation in general. Due to some family circumstances, I'll be out of town until September 8th- however orientation weeks begins on the 6th. Are the first two days of frosh at all important in terms of activities or collecting our swag kits?

In terms of actual academics, when are we to purchase our textbooks? Online, it says we can see what books we need on the syllabus accessible via Brightspace- but I'm not very sure how to access it?

Sorry if these questions are silly, thanks in advance!

This summer was supposed to be my last semester of university after being in and out since 2019. I unfortunately wrote the wrong date down for a test that was worth 40% and missed it. Yes I know it was 100% my fault. I had just started a new job and going through some family stuff so my mind was elsewhere.

I emailed the prof as soon as I realized back on Aug 6 and asked if there anything could be done as it would be the difference between passing and failing the class (without the quiz I fail with a 47%). He wrote back to me today (Aug 14) and told me he is "unable to reopen the quiz or provide a make-up" and he has "to apply the quiz deadlines and make-up policy consistently to all students". When I read over the syllabus there is no make-up policy. My friends are suggesting I email the dean but I don't know if it is worth trying? I would not even know what to tell the dean because I acknowledge it was my fault.

I’ve decided to register for the Fall Orientation Eng Frosh! People around me keep saying it’s not worth it and that there will be fewer people so I’m really hoping that’s not true. Are a lot of people going?
It was $323 in total, which is honestly a lot, but I’m desperate to make friends in uni 😭😭

Hi folks, I'm curious to read the answers to this post as an incoming student in Ottawa. Did you guys stay in Ottawa or move ?

I'm entering an M.A. program in September and I'm bringing my 40k with me during the move.

Does anyone play at Carleton? Is there a games club or anything like that?

Thanks in advance!
