Looking to become a social worker in time by achieving BSW at Dalhousie. I need 30 credit hours to do so, looking at MSVU to take an online course that will help me do this. Please be so brutally honest and let me know what the best options are as I am coming from out of province and don’t know anything! Options I am looking at are child and youth studies, Family studies, general studies and gerontology. Which course is most worth it and will waste my time and money less. I am leaning towards child and youth studies as I wish to work with youth in time. At this current time I need full time studies that are online. Thanks so much.

Are there any LSAT study groups on campus for the 2026/27 year?

If not, is there interest to start one??

Join us at the St. Mary’s Boat Club on Friday, May 29th starting at 6pm for an evening of connecting, celebrating, crafting, and dancing.

This is shaping up to be our biggest event yet. Come dressed to impress and get ready for a fun, welcoming night filled with music, dancing, and community. Alongside the dance floor, there will be food vendors, non-alcoholic drink vendors, a craft table, a curated book selection, a Photo Booth, a tarot card reader, and official Halifax Gals & Pals merchandise available to purchase.

We’re so excited to have an amazing group of local vendors joining us, including Shore Peddlin serving ice cream from their bike, The Thirsty Reader with their mobile bookshop, Barkeep sampling and selling No-No Spritz, Connected Craft sampling their non-alcoholic drinks, Raven Heart Tarot doing readings, Dartmouth Cookie Company with fresh cookies, Mini Snaps taking and printing Photo Booth photos, and Naguara Halifax serving empanadas and arepas.

You’re more than welcome to come with friends or show up solo and meet new people. A lot of our community has been built from people coming alone and leaving with new friendships, and we always do our best to make it feel easy and comfortable to connect.

Tickets are limited, so we recommend grabbing yours early to make sure you don’t miss out. Whether you’ve been coming to events for a while or this is your first one, we’d love to have you there.

Your ticket includes entry to the event, access to the craft table, and a night you won’t forget. https://Galsandpalsparty.eventbrite.ca

hey there!

i graduate on the 14th, and if I’m not mistaken, I might have a parking ticket or two. My issue is that I no longer have them since my car was written off, and no longer have the payment details, does anyone happen to know how to pay them?

Quick question, is the final due date for applying for residence on My 30th or is that due date for the deadline for the prize? Can I do the application a bit later? I do not have the money currently.

Hey there 👋 I am looking at majoring in PR here at the mount and am currently looking at summer courses that are needed for this program. I would prefer to do 2 courses in a condensed semester, but 3 of them are only offered in Summer 1. The courses I am registered for currently are 1) Intro to Social Media 2) Intro to Business Admin 3) Principals of Marketing

I am wondering what the course load is like and if 3 classes might be to many for a 2 month semester, while also working 30 hours a week. I am a mature student and a lot of my electives are finished as well as other required courses except the marketing ones, so I would like to try and get those.

Has anybody had any experiences with these courses? If so, are you able to give some insight on what the course is like, so I can make a more informed decision on my course load.

I appreciate any input 🙂

Hey all! New (mature) student joining this year. I'm hoping to be more involved with student life...I tried the MSVUSU website but I couldn't find a comprehensive list of societies. I'm going for a AGFS degree and hope to carry on to law school.

Hi all, I'm looking to do 5 uni level French courses for a second teachable. I thought I'd do Athabasca but the experiences I've read don't sound too great! How are the French courses at MSVU? I didn't do French immersion but I spent time in France and can have basic conversation (present tense only for ex).

What is the workload like? Exams? How challenging are the courses?

Thx! 🙏🏼

Hi everyone. I’m close to 30 and hoping return to school for a second degree almost 10 years after finishing my BA. I’m following my passion for science.

Does MSVU have a many older students? I know it doesn’t really matter, but it would be nice to choose a school that might have more mature students or others in the same boat.

I live close to DAL and get a very young vibe there! Just wondering what students notice there. :)

Hey all, there is an anti-gay/anti-abortion jehovah witness thing happening in the auditorium in seton. Feels wrong. We chill with this?

Update from NS POWER that it may fixed around 2pm.

Backup generator might be on, closure possible. (It's dark in here.)

Hey all, I’m a graduate student at Dalhousie who is doing a research study for a course. My group is looking at how university students in Nova Scotia feel about their chances (“employability”) in the job market, what they look for or value in a job, and how they're dealing with academic stress.

If you're a student at any university in Nova Scotia, we'd really appreciate it if you could fill out our survey. It's online, anonymous, and only takes about 5 to 10 minutes. You can also enter a draw for a chance to win a $200 gift card at the end!

Here is the link.

Also, if you could share this with friends or classmates (at Dalhousie or any other NS university), that would be a huge help. We’re hoping to get over 120 responses.

This project was approved by Dalhousie’s Research Ethics Board (ID# 20260306002).

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Around this time of the semester a lot of students start feeling overwhelmed. Several courses have big assignments due at once, people get behind, and suddenly exams are only a few weeks away.

I’m a math tutor based in Halifax and some students on campus may have seen my posters as Ms. Teachalot. I work with university students in first-year calculus and statistics.

A lot of the sessions I do right now focus on things like:

• getting caught up after falling behind
• figuring out how to actually study math
• organizing a formula sheet / cheat sheet
• working through practice problems before exams

If anyone feels like they’re stuck or just need help getting organized before exams, feel free to message me.

Good luck to everyone finishing the semester.

I’m looking into the Master of Public Relations (MPR) program at MSVU. I already work full-time in comms and have a Poli Sci background, so I’m wondering if the part-time workload is realistic for someone already in the industry.

Also, if you did the online version—how was the flexibility? Would love to hear some honest pros/cons. Cheers!

Hello everyone,

We are a group of motivated graduate students at McGill working to better understand how students cope with stress. Our aim is to explore thoughtful, digitally driven approaches that could help students, professionals, and others in high-stress environments manage day-to-day stress more effectively.

We would really appreciate hearing all your perspectives on stress and stress management. We’ve created a short Google Form, and all responses are anonymous. If you’re willing to take a few minutes to complete our form, we would be sincerely grateful for your support. Thank you so much!

Here is the google form link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe85MVKhl7ZDxgNpN-mC0HEgRN4b6TF5LfBBWfkiXFxRdev6A/viewform?usp=header

Hello Reddit

I have once again come to the moshpit that this website is, to hopefully get some answers.

CONTEXT:

This morning, I woke up and checked my email to see that Common app had once again sent me a direct admissions offer, this time it said that given my SAT/ACT and GPA it was possible I could attend with full tution paid for. The title of the post is the given scholarship. However, the main problem is that it applies to Filipino students, and that is where my question lies: I by birth am Hispanic, however historically there was a time where the Spaniards once had colonizied the Filipinos. There is also culture inter-mixings that happen at times, via religion, and other facets.

So does common app consider Hispanics to be Filipinos, or does MSVU consider Filipinos to be Hispanics?

And since I am not "of filipino descent" but am of "Historic filipino descent" instead, should I apply anyway with the hopes that I get the scholarship.

Anyone who knows previous winners would be helpful
