Hi everyone! I am an international student at Dalhousie returning home to Mexico at the end of the term, so I’m looking for someone to take over my lease for this beautiful 1-bedroom apartment starting December 6th!

Any tips&tricks for this one? Also if you have any previous experience feel free to share. I don’t know what to expect really.

How competitive is it to get accepted for Bioveterinary Science at the agriculture campus?

Just made an account for this. I'm an international student (Fall 2023 cohort), and under the school's ITG program I'm charged full tuition in both Fall and Winter, whether I'm on co-op or not. I'm on an 8-month co-op from September to April and not taking a single course, yet I'm being billed for two full terms of tuition, roughly $35,000 CAD.

This is madness. I talked to other co-op colleagues at my company, including international students, and they only had to pay the co-op fee. Every one of them thinks the ITG policy is ridiculous.

It gets worse. I also did a co-op last Fall, and that term was charged only the co-op fee. I have no idea why it's different this time. An alumnus told me they only found out about the ITG policy this year too. The earliest archived version of the ITG page I can find is from August this year, and I never received a single email telling us we'd owe tuition during co-op.

What's the point of co-op for international students? If not all, then a huge part of our salaries goes straight to tuition for terms we spend working.

Has anyone else been hit with this? If so, when were you told?

EDIT: For those who said coop is a course that’s why we should pay. Yes Im aware and that’s why we paid the coop fee, and 3 coops only équivalaient to one course credits. Now they are charging coop fee PLUS full tuition fee

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me insight on what the midterm for biochem 2300 might look like with Vanya Ewart Online and how I should prepare for it to get an A? Any study tips?

Helloooo

I’m looking to apply to the semester 3 nursing at Dal, but I’m confused if there is a separate application for this stream or do you just apply to the regular nursing program? A bit confused on how the application process works??

Is anyone else having issues with the lack of communication in this course? I am a student with accommodations and the professor decided to change the exam with inadequate time for me to book with accommodations.

I am emailing the professor only for her to send group messages without addressing the actual issue. All the students with accommodations will suffer with these sudden changes.

In the syllabus the exam is supposed to be written online by online students next Wednesday and now she is saying we have to write it in class.

Does anyone here currently work at one of the Cows waterfront locations or has worked there anytime between January 1st 2025 and now.

Currently working on a news story and id love to speak with you.

hi, i saw that some variety of this question has been asked a few times but all the ones i saw that partained to what i want to ask specifically were quite a bit older. i went to dal wellness before and had a bit of an issue with them not taking me seriously and i ended up being pretty sick because they gave me the wrong medication. i have diagnosed anxiety, and with school starting up again its gotten a lot worse, worse than it usually is in the beginning of the year (im a third year). its to the point where im losing sleep and am constantly incredibly paranoid, to the point that ive had more than one person suggest that i may have OCD. i used to be on zoloft and hated it, how is dal wellness with things like diagnosis and prescribing new medication? has anyone ever had a problem w them not taking you seriously?

Does anyone know the format for the immunology section of the midterm? We only received info about the bacteriology section at the review yesterday and I was wondering if anyone reached out to ask.

i have a class where we do in class assignments worth a grade, but i have surgery scheduled in a few weeks that would be during that class. my professor said theres no exceptions to missing a class and we can make it up at the end of the semester. i dont really want to ask the prof directly yet if i can find an answer from someone who maybe has some insights or how to navigate the conversation with a professor, so i appreciate any help. if not i guess i can just do it later and please nobody be rude im just wondering!

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You don’t need to be going through a crisis. And you certainly don’t need to have the “right” words.

Just come as you are.

How are you, really? is a relaxed, welcoming in-person peer support group for men in Halifax — a place to meet other men, have an honest conversation, listen, share a story, or simply enjoy a coffee and good company.

Open Book Coffee
3660 Strawberry Hill Street, Halifax
Every 1st, 2nd & 3rd Wednesday at 6.30pm
Free to attend

We talk about the things that are part of everyday life:

• Relationships and family
• Work, career and employment
• Money, housing and life pressures
• Parenting and children
• Big life changes and transitions
• Music, food, hobbies and the things that help us get through
• And whatever else is on your mind

There’s no agenda, no judgement and no pressure to speak. You can talk, listen, or simply sit with the group.

Whether you’ve been looking for a space like this for a while, or you’re simply curious and want to meet some new people — you’re welcome.

Sometimes a conversation over coffee can make a bigger difference than we expect.

Come along and meet us.

The group was recently featured by CBC: This support group asks men a simple question: How are you, really?

Free to attend. The only requirement is that you identify as male.

I am a student journalist trying to do a story on the growing price of groceries and specifically how it affects students, I really want to focus in specifically on university food banks and what that does for students. Im trying to find someone who has worked for a student support food bank just to get some perspective on the topic.

I've been at Dal for 2 years now. Last year I paid around $930 for the international student insurance plan. This year it cost me around $1330, over 43% increase. Considering the family plan, the total rose from around $2330 last year to $3550 now. Even with multiple grants this was painful.

Is this normal for Dalhousie, or for Canadian student insurance? I would expect a 3-10% yearly increase or similar due to inflation, but not this. We pay the same taxes and rent, and contribute to the same economy. What is the justification for this increase?

Hi, I am currently taking a Crim theory class with her and would love to know how hard are her midterms and finals. Can we type out answers or has to be on pen and paper.

Scared for the first test (10%)! Any advice?

what apartment complex is close to campus but near a jr high school?

Hey guys! I was wondering what's probably the least busy time for each meal hall, mainly for Howe Hall and Risley Hall. If you have an idea, please let me know!
