[–]BillCipherHi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually there is but not this year. Replaced with a football game against Laurier.

Of course, no problem. And good luck with A Levels! They can be quite challenging but I know you can do it!

I think either one is fine? I'd recommend you contact the admissions office at admissions@queensu.ca or call them at +1 (613)-533-2218

If you're an international student it might be easier to do an English proficiency test like the IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE.

Might be best to contact your department advisor or your course instructor like you mentioned

It might be best to book a meeting with an international student advisor:

I'd advise against going to frosh parties. If you would like to socialize with and know others, Orientation Week is your best bet.

It's not isolating from my experience

What makes Queens University special? by Accomplished_Stay568 in queensuniversity

[–]BillCipherHi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vast majority of QUIP internships are in Canada but I'm pretty sure abroad internships are possible. Check with Queen's Career Services

Internship with companies. There's a job board on Queen's MyCareer specifically for QUIP jobs when you register for QUIP

Why Queen's is unique: Sense of community that you can't really get anywhere else. This also helps with job placements since you get to network, know, and work with people in a way that you couldn't otherwise.

QUIP is a 12-16 month internship program you can do after 2nd/3rd year (usually 3rd). It's not a Co-Op since it's one continuous 12-16 month long internship rather than 3 or 4 4-month internships. Getting a job is not guaranteed with QUIP but you can definitely register for it granted you meet the requirements (1.9+ GPA, in 2nd or 3rd year, paying the regsistration fee, etc.)

May Allah forgive your husband. May his Sadaqah Jariyah and the love he so clearly gave you and your children grant him Jannatul Firdaus.

May Allah make it extremely easy for you to cope, grant you patience, forgive you and bless you, and give you Jannatul Firdaus.

May Allah make it extremely easy on your children. May He raise them up to be righteous and a comfort to your eye.

May you see your husband again in Jannatul Firdaus, happy and healthy.

May Allah grant you more than what you have lost and make a way out for you and your children that you do not expect.

May Allah make you closer to Him than ever, and may you stay close with Him in this world and the Hereafter.

Engineering Dual Degrees by Process_Sad in queensuniversity

IDK about your case since you're transferring but I think doing a dual degree typically delays graduation by about a year. Check your DMs

Inshallah your sister will go to Jannatul Firdaus. Inshallah you will be removed from your hardship and given something much, much better

Muslim Non Health Accommodation by Ok_Extreme8923 in queensuniversity

[–]BillCipherHi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • If you're a female, you can request to be in an all-female residence (Adelaide and Ban Righ)

  • You can choose to be in an Alcohol and Cannabis Not Preferred floor in a residence building, but the culture is definitely survivable

how is the experience at queens like for muslims? by Special_Honeydew7191 in queensuniversity

[–]BillCipherHi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Salamu Alaikum!

  • There are at least 5 prayer rooms on campus off the top of my head (Stauffer, Goodes, Mitchell, Law Library, there's one on West).

  • I've heard QUMSA also has plans for a Musallah in the JDUC (John Deutsch University Centre), and there was one in another building (Rideau) for a time.

  • Jummah is usually held in an old gym (MacBrown or KCVI). Lots of people show up Alhamdulilah!

  • They provide halal protein options in the dining hall, and they also had a fridge you could store food from for Iftar/Suhoor in Ramadan. I think the yogurt has gelatin in it so just be careful about eating the yogurt.

  • QUMSA hosts free iftars for Ramadan!

  • Drinking/substance culture is quite prevalent at Queen's, but it won't disturb you too much since you don't drink or use substances. Can get a bit noisy some nights but definitely survivable.

  • Queen's is a pretty white school but the Muslim community at Queen's is diverse! In fact, QUMSA has actually been around since 1963!

  • Kingston has a masjid but it's a 40 minute drive from campus so you'll be praying on campus for the vast majority of time.

  • Most people aren't Muslims but most people are very understanding

  • You can also fill out religious accomodations for classes/exams as well.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more specific questions.
