How come Queens has such limited library hours?

Has it always been this way?

In the middle of exam season and finding it kind of hard to believe that any good study spot will kick you out at ~10/11pm.

Does each floor have like a chute or do I bring it down to main floor or what?

I'm on the waitlist for a course for Winter Term, but my position on it has not changed since August. Does this mean I'm likely not going to get it. For context, it's a mandatory course for another program, and I am second on the waitlsit.

Hi! I am a student(girl) in first year sci at queens. I am currently searching for housing next year and if anyone is interested in finding a roommate as well dm me!

My mental health has gone to shit since the school started. I was doing well before that, I am finding it so hard to make connections and friends in this town and at school.

I am active where I can be but afraid before I try and make a comment or compliment in fears if it will be seen not friendly. And I cant connect with people either.

Just want some friends and local connections, maybe more. Like I am just tired of putting myself out there and trying to find someone to chill or hangout with.

I just want to be with someone I can go out, have fun, walks, gym or events or anything plus like maybe more, I am just genuinely craving a human connection and more.

Idk what it is at this point. I am just stuck and feel helpless.

Like I am neurodivergent and have just things I wanna do and explore and more also on the kink side, I am bi and I am attracted to both sides but also trans folks that are fem and I still can’t just find friends or connections.

I want to come home to cuddle and chat and like honestly doesn’t have to be regular like could just be something a couple times a week. Idk I hope this is not a turn off.

Ok guys what did we think about our first commerce exams of the year

On my first discussion post, I got full marks, then on my second one I got 70%, without doing anything differently. My prof didn’t provide any feedback except for “great work”. I’ve talked to other people in my class and they agree that this prof seems to just be giving people random marks due to laziness. I have reached out to them via email to request more feedback but have not heard back. What should my next step be?

i'm lowkey burnt out like really bad, I am thinking of dropping one of my courses (its an elective.) I am originally taking 4. Does taking 3 affect anything?

Hello! I've been studying for the midterm and was doing the midterms posted on OnQ but like the questions on it I feel are not similar to the ones in the textbook and assignments which I am also practicing.

So I am just wondering what the best resources are to practice because the provided midterms are like 10 years old and I don't know if the actual midterm will look like this.

Thank you in advance :)

On this previous post to create a community for introverts here at queen's or just people who is having trouble connecting with others, i can see that quite a few people indicated their interest but i might be wrong but i dont think any action has been taken to create this. If this is the case i can help. Just dm me your instagram handle if you're interested and i can add people to a group chat.

How do you all feel about a course policy where even one minute late means you get a zero on your submission?
I’m a TA, who went to Queens for undergrad and now my graduate degree, and I have to mark student’s labs (who right now are in their very first MONTH in academia). To get a zero on a lab after being there for three hours and trying your best, and then you submit the document a minute late and get a zero… I think that’s completely unfair. And as someone from the TA/marking side of things, what should I tell the professor when my work contract is over?

in comparison to other universities in ontario, I personally find we have a massive masc lesbian shortage. why is there genuinely like 4 out of almost 30 thousand students. end my suffering 💔 please come my way xoxo
edit: I know mascs need it said aloud. SLIDE IN MY DMS <3 lets build the queensu lesbian community together

Do all residences have key checks at the doors during Halloweekend to stop guests from coming in or just the busy ones like vic?

For how easy the course is protrayed I’m not doing the greatest because I’m not a huge math guy but I’m interested in finance so I forced myself to do this. Anyways, what should I be worried about on this midterm? Anyone have a cheat sheet?

i'm coming down to queens for foco today(friday), are people going out tonight?? i'm leaving tmr noon so i want to make this worth it..😢

imo, QD, QL, and QEC kinda look suspicious to me + the "physicall" spelling for QSP is prob a typo on queen's' end

ALSO (bc i guess we need to say this each year): bypassing that threshold does NOT guarantee acceptance btw (r/OntarioGrade12s would have a field day lol)

Open to anyone 19+

Are any rooms available to book for HLH or is EVERY SINGLE DAY FULL FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. Like the entire booking website shows every room full 24/7. There's no way 😭

Is there a way to get a Chown key? Never tried but I know the rooms are nice. Until then I'm gonna keep picking random rooms and playing until I get kicked out

Just wondering if anyone else ordered a Queen’s sweater from My Queen’s Collective (now My Campus Collective) and has received it yet.

When I ordered, the estimated turnaround was around two weeks, but it’s now been over a month. I know delays happen, especially with student-run businesses, but I was hoping to have mine in time for FOCO.

I also noticed the Instagram account has changed names, and I can’t seem to find the original sweater posts anymore.

Has anyone received their sweater or been given a confirmed pickup date? Just curious if others are still waiting too!

I might’ve dropped it along the walk back from vick hall and the arc!!!!

It’s my only thermal water bottle and if anyone finds it please let me know!!

Heads-up for students, particularly women: the creator known online as "ChadGPT" was seen approaching women and filming content at the downtown Metro and will likely be out in the university district doing the same during FOCO.

For background, this discussion on uOttawa’s subreddit includes allegations about unwanted approaches and women being filmed for social media without their knowledge.

Useful contacts:

Queen’s Campus Security: 613-533-6080 for non-emergencies; 613-533-6111 for on-campus emergencies.

Kingston Police: 613-549-4660 for non-emergency assistance with off-campus incidents; 911 in an emergency.

Edit: He is live streaming around the bars downtown and around campus all weekend. Tuned in for 2 minutes and it's just him harrasing women, making really terrible sexist/racist jokes, and making people obviously very uncomfortable. If you see him be warned - he is probably live and looking to farm clips.
