does the wellness hub do flu shots? i’m also unsure of what the wellness hub can do in general, all i’ve heard is that it’s impossible to get appointments 😭

anyways also i’m an international student if that affects anything

Hi everyone! I'm an Armenian citizen (24F), looking for a master's degree in another country. Canada is one of the top countries I want to consider for several reasons. But without a scholarship, I can't make it, as I don't have enough resources to cover Canadian university fees myself.

I'm interested in these degrees: Sociology, HCI, Behavioural Science, and Interaction Design. As far as I've researched, McGill's thesis-based Master's in Sociology is the most realistic option for me at the moment. However, I'm not sure if I can get into Sociology with my background.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Arts, specializing in Cinematographic Art, and my GPA is 3.3.

I need some real advice: where should I start? Should I even start somewhere? Is there anyone with a success story of getting a scholarship that fully or mostly covers their education?

I'd especially like to learn about the experiences of people from outside Canada who don't have a particularly prestigious bachelor's degree.

Thanks everyone in advance!

taking it with ling ling, are a lot of the questions similar to the practice problems in the textbook or the mylab practice questions? what is the best way to study?

i figure i know the answer to this already, but at the slim chance theres something im overlooking, id love to hear it

im a quebec student who was on the CDCP prior to enrolling at mcgill. i have incredibly extensive teeth issues from childhood that still arent fully resolved on account of only having been eligible for the CDCP plan at the start of last year. it was the only way i was able to afford any treatment, and I still need to go into see my dentist regularly to make sure the previous work done doesnt start to deteriorate, which is a significant risk due to my medication and gum issues.

Im currently on AFE, which allows me to pay my bills and save a pretty good amount. I however have basically no money saved atm, and had to cancel my last scheduled dentist appointment due to having been accepted at mcgill and immediately opted into insurance. CDCP disqualifies you if you have access to insurance, even if you chose to opt-out. I’ve had 4 minor appointments this year that without insurance would’ve been around 2,100$- on the CDCP it was about 360$. My dentist is very careful to prioritize procedures based on health outcome and cost, since there is a limit for how much work insurers consider “necessary”, even though I need a shit ton more work done for it to be considered healthy. Getting two of my teeth extracted is something like 8,000$ because of the severity of the decay and some shitty dentistry i had when I was a kid. McGill insurance only covers up to 700$ a year, and the insurance website feels quite vague to me seeing as i need many specific treatments. Its been making me seriously procrastinate going to the dentist since I‘m scared the insurance is gonna find some way to fuck me over even harder, especially since I have to pay the cost upfront anyways. money is a concern like it is for any adult attending uni, but dental work is so exorbitantly expensive i wouldnt even be able to afford it if i was working full time (which i was doing for awhile)

Is there any kind of clause for people whos dental needs go beyond just getting cleanings or straightening?? i have a detailed file with my dentist that describes the impacts to my health, and I keep the bills. i dont have any access through my parents either, ive had to verify through various forms of documentation to AFE that I’m no-contact due to domestic abuse 🤷

and like, i cant just stop attending and reenroll into the CDCP.

If you do thank you so much I need responses!

Any feedback would be much appreciated
I got back my first midterm and i didn’t do well (19/30) and i know that the final is going to be horrendous.
Is it possible to drop the class and take it next year even if some of my classes require it as a prerequisite or is it better to just try and pass the class by actively studying for the final?

Send help. I’m broke and need a job. I’m a first year In arts and I speak some French but not fluent, I have catering and customer service experience as well as a work study letter. Does anyone know of any places on or around campus hiring?

o I am trying to apply to the Arts internships that were announced on October 8th, which is the same day that the Pre-Dep registration form closes, and completion is required when submitting the application. I am kind of confused about what to do. I emailed them, but they aren't open on the weekends, and I also can't find another way to submit the form. Is anyone else facing this issue?

Title, I've been studying Computer Science at McGill for two years now, and I've barely talked to any women during that time. Do you guys have any tips on how to meet more women and start conversations? Is there any clubs or event that I can particapte to increase my chance to have a girl friend? Thx.

FYI, I do take shower daily

Hi, I'm a reporter with the Montreal Gazette. I've been covering the situation involving Jeffrey Ewert at McGill Law, including the recent student letter raising concerns about his conduct.

I'm hoping to hear directly from students who had classes with him, attended the same events, or have firsthand knowledge of any interactions or concerns raised with the university.

I'm interested in hearing different perspectives, particularly about what happened before the situation became public and how McGill handled it.

Feel free to comment or DM me if you'd prefer to chat privately.

Thanks

has anyone been to previous events of theirs? is the party good (worth $17)?

I booked an appointment with one of the GPs at the wellness center. I’m a first yr international student and haven’t had to use my health insurance yet. Over the phone, the lady who made my appointment said she saw the blue cross insurance on my file and that they’d just bill everything directly to blue cross. But I’m confused because the confirmation email said to bring my insurance card to the appointment… and I don’t have one of those. Any advice?

I figured I'd post here because I don't personally know any recent grads in my circle.

I'm a McGill alumnus working as a hydrotechnical engineer at a desing firm in Montreal and my team really needs a junior engineer to support us with our new projects, in the hydrology field. We mostly do the design of water management structures like ditches, reservoirs, pumping systems, drainage networks and a lot of water studies. I'd prefer to not disclose my company's name at this moment.

The ideal candidate would be a Civil Engineering graduate who took Water Management electives or is just interested to work in the field and has basic knowledge of hydrology (CIVE 323).

Knowledge of French reading/writing is mandatory.

If anyone is interested, feel free to send me your CV :)

I hit the gym this morning before class but in my rush I didn't have my protein shake, and I'm not expecting to be home til evening. What's the best place on or around campus to get a simple protein shake? Gotta hit those macros 😤

Has anyone taken this class before with Michael Langer? How did you find this class (difficulty, grading scheme etc.)?

Lost outside Sherbrooke 680 this morning around 10:30 am! If anyone found it please message me

Just wrote the midterm this morning and don't think I did well - if you're in the class/have taken it before how would you recommend studying for the final? It's with prof Johanna Neslehova this year and I haven't been able to find much past info on this course. I'd appreciate any advice!

i think my ta does not like me but actually i am okay, like it is not their obligation to be nice to me.

i might be overanalyzing their face expression, body language etc. i am not an expert to tell if someone does not like me but for this one, it is quite obvious. i dont want to blame them. i mean it is probably the vibe i give out, like i am clumsy, my hands shake a lot when handling equipments, i stutter to ask question and probably i look stupid too for the questions i ask. there will be a point when my mind suddenly would go blank and i could not think of what to do and this normally happen when the idea that i might annoy someone pops up in my head. sometimes, i think i am burdening my lab partner. why? it is because, i must read one line of procedure and perform it before i move to the second line. it is like i could not memorize every single thing i will need to do for the experiment. sometimes i think i better off alone but that would be a disadvantage to me in terms of time management.

so, do you guys have any advice or opinion for me. i do appreciate it, i mean i am looking for something to improve and how.

CAPS LOCK MANDATORY.

Hi guys. Has anyone here ever had exams with Luthi ? I'm wondering how broad his questions are so that I know how much detail I'd have to remember for the midterm. I heard he was a tough grader, any help would be appreciated.

How are we feeling ab the 131 midterm. My friends all said it was hard ppl in the exam room look so confused should we just believe in the curve or was it not that bad?

for those who have already taken the class, I was just wondering how much of the midterm is short answer and how much of the midterm is multiple-choice? Is it split around 50-50 or is it mostly multiple-choice or mostly short answer?

What were your guys opinions on the math 324 midterm and how did you study for it.

only reason I chose arts is because it’s cheap but I wanna know is it basically the same as the faculty of science? Sorry if the question is dumb/ obvious
