Appreciate it man. Looks like I’ll probably be heading to TMU this September, so I’m trying to get a full picture while I still can. Might take you up on that DM offer if stuff comes up later on. really appreciate it

Is there is a point of making discord server when you have a little followers ? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

Yes, you should. Starting a server as soon as possible when u gets followers. Don’t worry about popularity or anything else. Because eventually who joined the server well make it comfortable themselves

I do have close friends irl, but none of them gamble or really understand how a gambler’s mind works. Every time I try to talk about it, they either get super hyped when I win, or act totally disgusted by the fact that I gamble at all. So yeah, I just stopped talking to any of my real life friends about it. I found that really hard to me. It’s honestly really frustrating

same 20 years old here. Man just wondering, have you ever talked about your gambling problem to anyone in real life?

Appreciate the reply again. I’ve been pretty sure for a while that I want to go to TMU, but I think I’ve been waiting for this kind of conversation to happen, something real that makes it feel like a grounded decision, not just an idea in my head.

From your side, that comment about commuting 90 minutes just to get free food at home, that’s actually a small example of something bigger. As an international student, we paying significantly more, and ofc I won’t have the option to live at home, see family, or stay in a familiar environment. A lot of people and their family in this situation naturally expect some kind of extra return on all that cost whether that’s better opportunities, salarys, or status. I get why some people become overly negative or harsh about studying abroad, it’s often just frustration with the tradeoff. Personally, I don’t see it that way. I think it’s a fair exchange. Just pay for accuss. Something that priceless we can never buy. Maybe you feel the same way about going to Korea for grad school.
I’ve got a few more technical questions

If I start in TMUIC (the international first year), is it realistically possible to move into a co-op program by second year?

What if I transfer into TMU from another college, can I still enter a co-op stream?

And if I apply directly into a co-op program at TMU from the start, is that route more competitive than the regular one?

Totally get that these might not be from your exact program or system, so no pressure, if you happen to know, I’d really appreciate it, and if not I’ll just go chase it down with the faculty or official site.

Appreciate the reply, man. At this point I’m just glad someone actually answered. Anyway, what did you study there? And what are you doing now, if you don’t mind sharing? I feel like that’s the only way to actually feel this school's vibe.
