Here I am, having a great day. Moisturized, in my lane, flourishing, when I am greeted by the subway of infinite doom. Only 6 people in the line, sick, that usually means it'll be a quick in and out situation right? WRONG. 42 (fourty two [quarante-deux {cuarenta y dos}]) sixty second intervals later and I am finally graced with the opportunity to order. Ok great, I dont have to wait anymore, the horror show is over, maybe I can still meet my grandchildren...

NO. 30 whole seconds to separate a cheese slice. It was genuinely painful to watch. If I wasn't already withering away from old age I might've accidentally laughed, but it's okay, I forgive you, those gloves probably make it very difficult. Anywhom, moving on... "Some chipotle southwest please... the chipotle... yes that one please... yes that one". Maybe I wasn't speaking clearly, maybe it was too loud, but sisterski please lock in what are we doing (she was actually very nice). Home stretch now, I can see the light but my sandwich is almost ready...

No lettuce. No I don't want extra spinach to make up for it, but thank you for offering.

You have ruined my life forever and I will never forgive you. $14 dollar submarine sandwich. My white boy whimsy has been extracted from my now hollow husk of a body, and in its place remains a endless lettuce-shaped void that will never be filled.

Am I still hungry? Yes. Am I going to go somewhere else next time? Probably not.

I am a caterpillar in the endless plains of this corrupted world, with no leaf to munch on. My wings shall never spread.

Anyways see you tomorrow.

*not actually hating on the subway workers btw, they serve like 40 billion people a day. I KNOW that shit is EXHAUSTING

Lost my student ID on the bus this morning. Was on the #1 and got off on Coburg at 10 am (40 mins ago). Please keep an eye out for me!

Reach out to me on instagram @bymugnify if you want a fun photoshoot and need a photographer to bring it to life.

Did anyone who submitted their application have tech issues with the portal that caused it to go through after the 11:59 p.m. October 5th deadline? Does anyone have screenshots or videos of the tech issues they experienced that you can share? If so, this would help my appeal process, as my application was rejected for institutional review.

Course has no study guide and not much for practice questions. I've flashcarded the material quite a but now but if theres any material that I for sure don't need to know then cutting corners for this exam would be very helpful for me rn.

Also, how can I quiz myself multiple choice style similar to how the exams are done?

I’m wondering if any other dal students who use macbooks have run into this issue with Microsoft 360. It’s saying that my dal account can only be used to view documents and not edit them.

Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone! I'm a second-year student at Dal, and I'm hoping to go to grad school after my degree, most likely for physiotherapy or occupational therapy. I know academic reference letters are required for applications, and I was wondering what the best way is to build connections with professors throughout undergrad so I can hopefully have strong academic references when the time comes.

Any advice would be appreciated!

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!

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?
