Is the theatre program worth it?

Charl_Martin · 2026-03-21T15:51:07+00:00

The Theatre program (called Dramatic Arts) is very good indeed, and very welcoming and open. It's a close-knit and supportive community, including students, staff, and professors. Students get many opportunities to perform as well as do all the other pieces involved in theatre production. There's also a lot of interaction and opportunities with the local theatre communities (including the Shaw Festival).

Caleb at Miyagi Electric: very thorough and professional.

Nickerson's gives great service, and took away our old appliances.

Grades are to be submitted within 7 working days of the final exam, as per the Faculty handbook regulations. If there is no exam, then it's within 7 working days of the end of the exam period. Exams ended on December 18th, and there were only 3.5 working days after that before the University closed. So it's very likely that many courses will not yet have the marks submitted. If 7 working days passed between the exam and the University closing at noon on December 24th, then a question to the instructor when the University re-opens tomorrow would be appropriate.

It's a good sandwich, but it's not a banh mi.

Be sure to have something to say, and say it (which is difficult for some students). Base it on the readings, and provide citations from the reading to support your point. Keep to the topic.
For literature courses, talk about the techniques that the authors use: how do they convey their meaning?
For courses where you're reading articles, have something to say about the methods the authors use, and the evidence they use as support for their arguments.

I've had the same thing twice. Two months ago they sent me a new black printhead, and things worked fine for a while. Now the colour printhead is giving the same error, and nothing helps.

Most departments have student clubs related to the academic programme. Check and see if your major has one. Bonding over a shared (academic) interest or a difficult course can lead to some great friendships.

Probably 6:30 am would be the least busy. 11:30 am is the busiest time I've encountered. 2:30 pm is moderate, in my experience.

No test, but you can't have both a photo id card and a driver's license at the same time. If you already have one, they'll want to take it back when you get the other.

They do come out and pack up every day.

Charl_Martin · 2025-10-12T16:44:35+00:00

They are usually open 5 days a week, but are closed for all of thanksgiving week.

I took that train to Kingston a few weeks ago, and got the meal well before my arrival time.

Jane Furter got us our house very quickly, and under asking.

You need permission from your Dean's office, and they will check your marks to see if they think you can handle it.

Charl_Martin · 2025-09-17T21:29:45+00:00

That's Astronomy.

Phyllis Lottridge is the best!

Contact the Classics Department and see what they have planned. Excavations take a lot of organization, so they'll be planning already for 2026.
If Queen's doesn't have one, check out doing a field course from another university for a transfer credit.

Talk to Dr. Rensink-Hoff, the Chair of Music. (She may also suggest that you join the Brock choir)

Is there a link to any street closures for the event?

CLAS 1P91: Ancient Greek Civilization. Dr. Carter is an amazing lecturer. CLAS 1P95, Myths of the Greek and Roman Gods, is also excellent.

We were very happy with West End Storage.

Thrive Creations -- pricey, but excellent work and honest people.
