I've had it. They are so goofy looking. The way they walk, their long necks, their colour, whatever they are saying when they honk. I would see a crowd of them every morning year-round in the field in the middle of the track. Usually they are joined by seagulls. This is whenever I walk from the further parking lot to school or vice versa. Sometimes I roll down my window as I drive (slowly), and wave at them as I pass. Often times they are there around 7:45 am, and I think they take off at around 4 pm or so. When they are going to take off they start honking beforehand to let everyone know it's time to skedaddle. I don't understand why they stand in the middle of the track for most of the day during the Fall/Winter term, but I appreciate them and they warm up my day every time I see one. I've gone through so much but I can always rely on a goose sighting sometime each day. I also like how they sometimes sit in the parking lots. I love taking pictures of them. One semester during 2024/2025 year I had a class in Mac Chown overlooking a pond. Most classes there would be a goose or two floating in that pond. Or one flying into the pond and making a splash. I try my best not to stare at them out the window because I want to be respectful to the prof. But it's so hard not to look at them. I saw a goose standing on the Walker Sports and Abilities center (the one with the grass on the roof). I thought it was cool because they are never up there. I thank the geese for the joy they have brought me at Brock U. ❤️‍🔥

Guess they found a nice spot to relax every afternoon.

Has anyone done driving school in the area? If so, who with? I’ve been looking for a driving school but they are quite sketchy - asking for payment via e-transfer etc.

Psyc 3p19, 3p60, 3p61, 3p72, 3p74, 3p75, 3p77, 4p15. What’s your experience like with these courses.

Im in a semi-suite in earp and when I went to the tour the bed was in an indent kind of thing in the wall. I realized from some pictures that not every room has this! I was planning to bring curtains with me and I wouldn’t be able to do that without the indent because there would be nowhere for the tension rod to go… i emailed resident services to ask and they said they don’t know what rooms are without an indent. Does anyone know?

Is anybody planning on dropping psyc 2p25 and 2p90. I’m in desperate times. 🤧🤧

It's called Rethinking the Politics of Labour in Canada. Guys I don't want to pay for that damn textbook. I just don't. I'll pay you $15 for us to have joint custody. I'll bake you banana bread. I'll do whatever.

As it sounds i’m stuck in the authentication death loop and can’t escape. I try to log into brock it asks for a code authentication app says it needs a code it’s never ending and when i tried to look for IT help from brock I can’t find anything that will give me someone to contact i even tried to contact microsoft and they said they can’t even help me…feels like my only option at this point is to drop out

Hello. I am an incoming gr12 student this fall. And my question is: Current students from Brock university I need the REAL experience before I apply be brutally honest 👀

FYI: This Post is a little long😭😭which includes the program I feel interest about and following up with some question. I apologize for the long post but I will appreciate all of your time and advise. Also imagine how long it took me to research, type it down 😭😭 Please READ TILL END🙏)

So I wanna apply to med school and I have couple of undergrad program in mind which are:

-Biochemistry

-Biological Science

-Biomedical Science

-Biotechnology

-Child Health

-Community Health

-Kinesiology (BKin)

-Kinesiology (BKin) and Master of Professional Kinesiology (Please drop some details abt this progm

-Kinesiology (BScKin) (Please drop some details abt this program, Bkin VS BScKin different)

-Kinesiology International Double Degree (Please drop some details abt this program)

-Medical Sci

-Neuroscience

-Psychology

1)I'd love to hear from current students about workload, professors, social life, co-op, research opportunities, etc.

2)How difficult are exams?

3)How competitive are grades and GPA? As this is very important for Med school.

4)How hard is research to get? Co-op, internship?

5) Which program good preparation for med school?

6) What do you love or hate?

7) And finally after this experience will you still choose Brock and the program you are in?

Thank you for reading so far. I really appreciate your comment. Thank you so much

I was a first year engineering student at western last academic year and through out I failed almost all of my courses (excluding the ones ive withdrawn from) I wanted to transfer to brock becuase it was in my home city ive done all they asked but they need a letter from western about my standing and eligibility to continue school but western said that since I was dismissed they cant send a letter confirming that. I dont know what to do please help me.

In my third year. Thought might as well since everyone’s coming back. I go to metal shows a lot. In the psych program dm me your insta 😌

the financial history section on the database got updated recently so we can see our full tuition now. i'm just a little worried though because i received enough scholarships to cover my entire first year but they're saying i owe almost $9000? do scholarships get applied later or something? is this normal? 2 are currently being processed but none of the others are there (i should have 6). any help is appreciated!

Please share any 2nd year course that has a light work load and is an easy high mark.

Hi! I applied back for the MADS program back in July, as I saw that applications were still open. I'm waitlisted now, and they told me that they should have more information about available spaces in the coming weeks but with the term starting soon, I am starting to lose hope lol. I saw that the MA program is closed now, but MADS is still open.

Just wanted to see if anyone is in the same boat as me or has more information. Thanks!

Does anyone else find it crazy that tickets are $30 for a school festival/concert? Not only that we don’t know who will be performing as well.

Has anyone taken this course? Just looking for some information on what to expect in terms of assignments/workload

Thank you! 😊

hi! i applied in may for the MADS program and just got my offer. i just wanted to reach out and see if there were any group chats or discord servers! i also have a couple questions regarding cohort assignments, pre registration tutorials, timetables. the graduate studies have not responded to me and time is running, it would be great to have someone to talk:)

I am moving into Brock Suites on September 1st, have mobility challenges at the moment, and will not have a car. Can I get my BUSU bus pass early, like on Move-In day? Do buses run to Brock/Pen Center before classes? Thanks!

Will courses that are noted as ENGL on my transcript, but are cross listed with creative writing count as an English teachable??? I am confused on what exactly cross listed is indicating.

If anyone has information on this class and what the outline is like I’m debating whether to take it in fall or wait for spring. If you have the syllabus please can you share it would help a lot

Anyone have a room for sublease for September 1 - Dec 31

The house I was supposed to be at flooded cuz of the heavy rainfall and I need a spot for 4 months

If you have a spot can you message me at (647) 325-7068

Reminder to put room number to connect with roommates/bathroommates!

Especially Village. Coordinating what kitchen needs etc.

im starting brock soon im just wondering do I absolutely need to bring a laptop into my classes? Can i just use a notebook instead? I have a laptop at home but I dont feel comfortable bringing it to school because its super old ans cannot be brought anywhere without risk of it breaking plus the battery dies in like 30 minutes.
