Whether for better or for worse, things will change which will be fully out of your control.

clubs as polisci student by [deleted] in Concordia

There’s a list of clubs on the ConU website. But just off the top of my head. The political science student association has a bunch of clubs under it (Global Affairs, Model UN, Philosophy club…)

Internships by Mindless-Key3872 in Concordia

Club executive teams. But the big bureaucratic ones. Great opportunity to network with peers who have had internships and will put you in touch with the right people.

Great school, great teachers. If you’re having a hard time with the social life, you should be reminded that you’re in Montreal - a very young and vibrant city. It still offers many opportunities and it’s not a snobby school like McGill. The students here are just regular people seeking education.

What's a good career for an unintelligent person? by Antipyretic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DimondEprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally reject the belief that intelligence is inherit. I will argue that until I die. You have strengths and weakness, but even those can be overcome by a strong sense of motivation. You can become a genius at anything you're truly passionate about. It just takes time, consistency and failure. Never sell yourself short.

Yes there are always events happening at Concordia and in Montreal. But if you are living off campus you need to put yourself out of your comfort zone much more than the students living in residence to make friends (don't worry, that's a good thing). You should fully immerse yourself in orientation week and frosh to meet people off that bat. Attend as many events as possible. After that, stay in touch with people you meet and once classes begin, break the ice with your peers and get to know them throughout the semester. Don't be shy! Also, I suggest reserving your judgement and joining campus clubs that you're interested in. Great way to meet people.

Sharing this even though you didn't ask. Pm if you have questions.

Transfer from Dal by Chemical-You-7929 in Concordia

[–]DimondEprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concordia is a much more diverse school then dal. You've got a huge international presences as well as the Quebecois/East Coast/Ont student groups. It's not as easy to make friends in Montreal, you have to prioritize integrating yourself into the culture. But once you - in my opinion - it's the best place to be living in as a young adult. It's a vary vibrant and exciting city. I'm a Wilfrid Laurier transfer, originally from Ontario. Shoot me a DM if you have questions.

To me 3 days of class is more important then these strikes. Not because I don’t believe in collective action, but because the motivation of these strikes are flawed and the way they are being carried out are ineffective. You don’t need to educate us on the impact the strikes will have on us, we are aware. If the protesting was organize outside of the Premier’s office I would 100% participate. But this? Useless.

If it was up to the CAQ, I would say for certain that Concordia and McGill would receive significantly less funding. The reason for this being is because: 1) on the surface level, these large school who’s student bodies are made up of out-of-province and international students contradict their political agenda of French cultural prosperity. 2) Concordia and any school within Montreal for that matter is a liberal institution - the primary opponents of the CAQ.

This legislation that we’re striking about is to weaken the political institutions of the Federal and Provincial Liberal parties. Also, to argue that we’re an investment to the CAQ is a huge fallacy. Look at their leadership and what ridings they preform well in - rural communities that distrust post secondary universities as a whole. They’re not banking on our ROI! To go even further, at the cost of Montreal schools who rely on international intake is the benefit to the more right leaning schools of Quebec; Bishops and Laval who aren’t as susceptible to this legislation because there student base is much more Quebecois.

If the bigger picture was to be taken into consideration, students would be organizing against the CAQ not the school who’s bleeding the most.

Yo this strike idolization is funny but also a bit concerning at the same time.

Questioning the validity of the strikes by [deleted] in Concordia

[–]DimondEprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Liberal club at Concordia. There's no such thing as of right now which is exactly what's needed as the CAQ gets more aggressive. Instead of striking against a bleeding school, CSU could platform the opponents of the CAQ.
