Listen we aren’t advisors here. Ask them not us.

Im tired of this sub being bombarded with “I got rejected from …..” “what average do I need for…..” “ what grade will they look at…” “ i have a 96 in …. Is that good enough for …..”

Please ask the advisors. We don’t have the answers. You’re about to be an adult and need to know who to ask the right questions. No one goes on here to read your high school marks and let you know if you will get into whatever program. We dont know. We can guess. But the advisors will 100% have more accurate information.

Go on Ucalgary website, go on advising, and find what times they have online advising.

Or email your faculty’s advisors.

For example in engineering its engginfo@ucalgary.ca

Please it will be a win win for everyone if people stopped trying to use this as an academic advisor subreddit.

EDIT: Another redditor in the comments brought up an important point.

“Let me just clarify the Engineering Advisor DO NOT REVEIW High School Admission. Asking them why you didn't get in or waitlisted is a waste of time.

Only the admissions department can answer those questions so please contact them or visit them for advising.

Admission website: https://www.ucalgary.ca/future-students/undergraduate/contact

If you are a transfer student from a different university or different facility and are planning to transfer into Engineering then contact the Engineering Advisors.”

Thanks for the added info!

Best of luck with getting into U of C we are happy to have you!

Alr first off this isn’t a sob story I don’t want anyone’s pity😭

Turning 19 soon and don’t really have a friend group ( more like some friends but none im super super close with) What can I do? I have a lab until 12 then I’ll go home but so far no plans for the rest of the day. I was thinking of ending my night at cactus grabbing a drink and dessert (not trying to spend tm since I went out a lot this summer). Anything else I could do for fun. Was looking for something more interesting instead of basic (going for a walk, going to cafes etc)

friends

9 Upvotes

since everyone else is doing it why not lol. Before you say join a club, etc. I already tried. It’s just so hard to extend a friendship beyond class/club despite being someone social

I’m a haskayne student (1st year accounting). I like to go the gym, I do Muay Thai, love concerts, going to cafes, shopping/clothes, and many more things. I’d just like to connect with other girls with similar interests or people who also want a friend to do activities/ study with, etc.

Multi-Pack Parking Pass

15 Upvotes

I recently got a multi-pack parking pass at UofC and the information says that vehicles have to be parked "nose-in, boot out". However I'm a chronic reverse-parker lol. Are the lot attendants actually goin around ticketing multi-pack users for reverse parking or is it just another one of the rules that they don't actually enforce😂

might use your replies in my assignment without usernames. thanks!

Breaking residence lease

1 Upvotes

For the record, I do not have extenuating circumstances, and i am a current student at uofc 😭. I'm just wondering if anyone has had luck terminating their residence lease early and only paying the 500 penalty instead of the full term fee, maybe on a compassion basis? Anything really lol

UCalgary grads, which industries in Calgary are still hiring and training entry-level employees?

0 Upvotes

I’m a current UCalgary undergraduate student trying to better understand the local job market.
I’m curious if there are any industries or companies in Calgary that still invest in hiring and training new graduates with limited experience.
I’m open to hearing about any industry, including smaller or less well-known fields.
For those who’ve graduated or are currently working in Calgary, which companies or career paths would you recommend exploring?
I’m especially interested in places where people can learn, receive mentorship, and build a long-term career.
Thanks for any insights!

Is making friends at UofC supposed to be this hard?

34 Upvotes

Hey everyone! This is my first semester at UofC, and somehow I still haven’t made any actual friends here. Is it supposed to be this difficult, or am I just getting old at 24? 💀

I mean, I meet people, have conversations, and say hi to familiar faces, but I’m talking about actual friendships. Someone to grab coffee with between classes, hit the gym together, hang out after a long day, or just randomly text to do something.

I’m pretty social, and I genuinely enjoy meeting new people, so I didn’t expect making friends at university to be this challenging.

I’d especially love to meet people who are into working out and would be down to hit the gym together, but I’m also always up for a coffee and a good conversation!

Hmu and let’s connect if you’re in the same boat!
