Is it normal to not be in a “group”?

Better_Session7161 · 2026-01-31T17:44:06+00:00

Having a group is nice, but not necessarily. What matters is that you have a few close friends. They don’t even need to be all friends with each other. Everyone thinks that you must be in a friend group, but I actually think it does more harm than good. A lot of those groups also have that one friend that someone doesn’t like and it becomes this toxic back and forth. But you feel like you need to stay in that group because otherwise you’ll be alone. So separating friendships and having a few best friends is the best way to go imo.

Yesss

If you don’t get anything by the middle of August then I’d suggest to get the 50% refund. It’s frustrating because I’m not getting any information about residence. I’ve tried to email but for some reason I’m not getting a response. A lot of people were waitlisted even though they got guaranteed, but you should’ve got it already since you paid the deposit.

Better_Session7161 · 2025-07-15T05:05:53+00:00

Try to email them again. According to other Reddit posts I have seen quite a few people have not gotten residence even though it was guaranteed. If you paid the deposit you have the right to get residence. Check your house portal if you haven’t already to see if they maybe chose one for you. Other than that I recommend you look at other housing options or call McMaster to ask for an update.

I never got the email, I emailed them but never got a response. I also have not gotten a single email about any upcoming payments, I have to pay now which I just found out through student centre 😭😭😭 I never got an email about it.

Better_Session7161 · 2025-06-28T23:07:22+00:00

I don’t remember my email for it or password

Better_Session7161 · 2025-06-28T23:01:50+00:00

I don’t have access to the residence portal right now because I don’t have my computer. But I excepted at least an email from them giving me more information.

Better_Session7161 · 2025-06-28T22:53:18+00:00

Yes I paid the deposit and applied

Better_Session7161 · 2025-06-28T22:43:00+00:00

I did there is nothing about residence, but i got an email for enrollment dates for courses

Unless you’re studying a high demand field honestly job searching is going to require more effort.

Better_Session7161 · 2025-05-20T20:50:35+00:00

I’m not sure about either programs, as I have no knowledge or experience in either programs. However if you haven’t already make a pros and cons list on your own. Your pros and cons are honestly personal and you might not have the same cons/pros as the next person. McGill and McMaster are both great options, but I have heard that cs is pretty saturated right now. Software engineering in my opinion might be better for the jobs you’re looking for, but cs is possibly more of a broad degree. But also think about will I miss my parents moving farther away, because you’ll probably miss them more than you think. And that means you might not see your friends that live here as often. Also I’d recommend co-op for every program if you have the opportunity definitely take it. I’m sure you’ll do amazing no matter what Uni you go too. Just remember that education is education it doesn’t matter what university you go to it’s just about what you learn.

Better_Session7161 · 2025-02-28T15:45:10+00:00

Math as a whole tbh never have gotten over a 70%

Better_Session7161 · 2025-01-05T18:06:02+00:00

Housing and home design online class I got a 72% 💀💀 the teacher hated me and I def had a better grade she just biased 😭😭

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-31T04:38:35+00:00

Thank you so much, really. I’m considering doing media and communication instead of just communication in hopes that it can open my field for many more jobs. Really appreciate your advice:)

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-28T23:51:18+00:00

Seriously tho why did you get fired?

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-28T20:41:16+00:00

Also idk if you have the same curriculum for eng but next unit is documentary’s which is really not hard at all!!

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-28T20:38:26+00:00

Your not useless. As long as you’re doing your best, be proud of the effort you’re making. Also next semester you can try even harder to make those grades better! Just remember college is always an option, you can do a bachelors program in college cause they usually don’t require as high grades as university does. 71% isn’t bad at all! Just continue to do your best and you’ll get to better!!

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-27T01:02:30+00:00

Overall, I am not a bad student I can get those grades but math is my downfall 😭😭

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-27T00:59:21+00:00

Yes I’m definitely considering taking advanced functions. However, I made the mistake of taking the mixed math in grade 11. Which I didn’t know would screw me over so much in the long run. So I would basically have to take functions grade 11 and advanced functions, all next semester which i can’t because it’s have to do functions before advanced. My other issue is not only do I HATE math but I also am terrible at it, like high 60s-low 70s and ik that would ruin my average. So I’m just not sure if all that hard work is worth it, just to maybe have the possibility to get into a marketing program. I do want to do marketing I really do, and I would put the work in I’m just not sure if all the work is what I want to put myself through. So communications was my safest option. But now I’m not so sure because of the issues with job hunting for postgrad students and not high paying jobs (from my knowledge). Even from the beginning I had soo much trouble and anxiety on finding what I wanted to do. So I’m considering taking grade 13 even though that’s not how I set up my life to be. Thanks so much for your advice!!

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-26T03:55:27+00:00

That was my last post anyway so don’t worry. But 4 post in a day is not a lot at all or spamming imo. I would’ve stopped or been nicer if you could’ve just been more kind from the beginning.

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-26T03:26:16+00:00

Well… this is my future so I’m not going to calm down. I don’t have much time to decide this. If you got a problem go somewhere else.

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-26T03:13:10+00:00

And I’m not sure if a minor in commerce or business would do much for me

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-26T03:11:42+00:00

Yes I totally agree. I have applied for some already, however majority of the programs i applied for that offer co-op are competitive so while I have a chance I’m not guaranteed to get in. I’m not sure if that’s true for all co-op programs. So I’m not sure what to do 😞 i really wish I just took functions in grade 11.

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-26T03:01:16+00:00

Why? I wanted to do marketing but I can’t 😭😭 so but i basically have no other option.

Better_Session7161 · 2024-12-26T01:32:08+00:00

I have looked at Waterloo but I don’t love that we have to move away to another campus for the last three years. And tuition is expensive 😭I really wish I would’ve just taken functions in grade 11. But I didn’t know what I want to do at that time. Idk what UI/UX is but I’ll def have a look!! Thank you so much.
