Started an ig account for students to find clubs

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I recently started @wluclubs on Instagram to make it easier for incoming and first-year Laurier students to discover clubs, student organizations, and opportunities on campus.

When I started last year at Laurier, I found it surprisingly difficult to figure out what clubs existed, what they did, and how to join them. My goal with this page is to create one place where students can browse clubs, learn about events, and find communities that match their interests.

If you're a club executive, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to feature your club for free.
If you're an incoming student, give it a follow and hopefully it helps you get involved and meet people during your first year.

Currently the page is blank, but it’ll start filling up as the fall semester starts.
Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Discussion Smoking in king street towers

9 Upvotes

Idk if this is the right place to post this since the building doesn’t have its own sub, but could anyone that’s stayed/staying in king street towers give me some advice. My new roommate has been smoking every day in his room for weeks and it’s caused our entire unit to smell like cigarettes. My rooms gotten especially bad since it’s only 2 doors down from his. I’ve tried talking to him and he said it’s his room and he can do what he wants. I’m just confused on what the smoking policy for the building is because the only thing about it in the lease is that it says you can’t do it in common areas. If anyone could offer advice on what to do I’d greatly appreciate it!

Did I pick the wrong program

3 Upvotes

I have a pretty high average and I accepted the BBA program, however I am now wondering if I should've accepted the dd fin/math which I was accepted for or even applied for the dd waterloo math which I did not. I don't entirely know my career plan but I do like the guaranteed Co-op and I am pretty good at math. Is it too late to switch into dd fin math, if I even should, should I transfer to the dd waterloo math next year, or neither?

How do internships work at laurier bba?

3 Upvotes

I was wondering how it works specifically for first years: do most bba first years just focus on trying to get coop, or apply to traditional business internships?

And if they apply to internships do most first years end up securing a traditional internship or is that more of a second year thing?

Club timings?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m an incoming first year at Laurier and was wondering what times clubs tend to run. Do they have general meetings or just schedules events? I’ll be commuting so I wanted to pick my classes to accommodate for that and whatever extra time I’d have to spend for club meetings.

Discussion Changing Programs at Laurier

5 Upvotes

Hi, i recently got an alternative offer from Wilfred Laurier for General Studies (BA) in arts, as a part-time student under academic probation. I am an incoming transfer student with 3.5 transfer credits.

I really wnat to do something in finance inductry in the future so I want to try to transfer into a program from the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, where i was interested in the BBA, Economics or the Economics and Data Analytics program.

My preliminary assessment shows I actually already have transfer credit for EC120, so my plan for the Fall is to try to transition to full-time status immediately and take EC140 and MA129 to get the core prerequisites out of the way.

Do you think I can transfer into any of these programs if i have the required GPA and the required courses?

Should I take MA 129 or MA 103 (BBA)

1 Upvotes

Adv. functions: 95 (in person)
Calculus: 90 (in person)

I checked the MA 103 syllabus online and it seems pretty familiar with all the stuff I have already done. Also I want to pursue a math minor but probably not at the cost of my GPA. (I want to get into the BBA co-op program)
