šŸ“Œ STOP. POSTING. BO. THREADS.

168 Upvotes

Alright folks, enough is enough.

Every BO/hygiene post turns into:

race-baiting

weird stereotypes

drama for no reason

We’re not doing this anymore.

🚫 All BO/hygiene posts = removed

🚫 All race-baiting in the comments = removed

🚫 Repeat offenders = time-out

We get it. Sometimes people smell bad. It happens. But we can’t keep having the same posts about it over and over.

For that reason, these threads will be removed going forward.

Discussion & Advice I genuinely don’t understand what’s wrong with me

4 Upvotes

I just finished the Biol 1410 exam and decided to ask AI what I got and show the questions. Well anyway, I managed to do worse than last year and last year I failed miserably. I studied but I don’t understand why I keep getting such low marks. I understand the material to a point but I feel like I definitely understand more than what I get on the exam. I’m starting to think uni isn’t for me.

Last year in a different class I was getting 80s in my exams so genuinely don’t get why I can’t do this one. It’s like once I step into the exam room all my common sense goes out the window and I forget everything I’ve been studying. I’m really thinking about dropping out because my GPA is already low from a class I failed last year because I was depressed. Like I don’t know what to do. I was confident at the start of this year that it would be different but maybe not.

Maybe I should be doing college courses instead of university courses? Are they easier in any way or is it just that the programs are 2 years long? I’ve already made the decision that I want to do a different profession but still in the healthcare field so either way I think I’d need this class.
Maybe I’ll just work a minimum wage job the rest of my life and marry someone rich.

Edit: I have another exam tomorrow and haven’t even started studying for it cause I’ve only been studying for this bio 1410 exam which I failed. I feel sick to my stomach y stomach.

Is there a lost and found in Drake?

General Who do I go to…

4 Upvotes

Long story short I applied to a program for the winter term and just got my rejection letter stating I was missing a pre-req. My Written course.
but I actually completed ARTS1110 this summer, but the catch is the grade is still In Progress.

There was a note posted to UMLearn stating the faculty was behind and the marks would be handed in on the 9th and it would take a couple of days. This wasn’t posted from the prof herself but someone with the last name honeysomething.

Where/who do I go to have this resolved.

Discussion & Advice Phone in pocket during exam

3 Upvotes

I arrived to a midterm exam slightly late. Only brought my pencil, didn't bring my backpack (or any bag), and I didn't think to give my phone to the invigilators beforehand.

I'm probably just being paranoid but I'm worried that they noticed my phone in my pocket (wore jeans today and it was visible) and will write me up. Should I be worried?

Discussion & Advice Are Princess Auto Stadium and Smartpark considered on-campus for IRCC work regulations?

Post image
• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m an international student at the University of Manitoba, and I wanted to clarify something regarding IRCC’s on-campus work regulations.

From what I understand, IRCC considers employment within a university’s campus boundaries to be on-campus work, even if the employer is a private company.

I specifically wanted to ask about these two locations:

Princess Auto Stadium (Blue Bombers Stadium)
Smartpark Research and Technology Park

According to the University of Manitoba campus boundary maps I’ve checked, both locations appear to fall within the university’s campus boundaries. I’ve attached a map for reference.

Would employment at these locations officially be considered on-campus work under IRCC regulations?

I’m particularly looking for responses from international students who have either worked at these locations and confirmed their employment was considered on-campus, or received direct confirmation from a UM international student advisor.

I’d appreciate firsthand experiences or official confirmation rather than assumptions.
Thanks in advance!

Discussion & Advice Online/Summer Courses

2 Upvotes

I’m a first year student. I decided I would take all of my classes in person this year as I feel I learn best in a classroom environment and actually enjoy listening to lectures.

With that being said, I was thinking about taking classes in the summer to keep on a 4 year pace for my degree without having to take 5 classes every fall and winter term. With my schedule in the summer it would be virtually impossible for me to be at every lecture in person over the summer so I would need to take online classes.

I would like to understand some of the differences between online and in-person classes in terms of studying and lectures even for the fall and winter next year. I have also heard that summer and spring term classes can feel a little rushed due to the shorter term and was wondering if anyone could attest to that.

Any and all advice welcome, thanks!
