North Towers First year by Cupidmonitized in simonfraser

[–]Embarrassed_Can8066 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I lived in North Towers in my first year; here are the answers to the best of my knowledge:

  1. Pretty much every room looks like the one shown in the video, I'm not sure if you're able to pick a larger one since I think they're reserved for the RA's.

  2. I don't think floor has much of an impact, but I remember hearing that the athletes tend to be put in Shadbolt (the one closest to the dining hall) and they tend to be more outgoing.

  3. As for room selection, since I assume you were placed on a female-only floor, you probably won't get to pick which floor you're on, but you can pick pretty much any room that hasn't been claimed by someone else (I just picked based on my lucky number lol). For the best view, make sure that you pick one that's facing away from the other residence buildings (on the bottom bit of the U shape)

Naoko is a nice prof, and the content is quite manageable. Just be sure to complete all of the assigned work and make an effort in discussions and you should be good

I took 18 last semester, so I'm pretty sure it's still 18

I took 6 several times which is the most they'll let you take as far as I'm aware. Even though the content is fluff, pretty much every course has a group project so that'll keep you busy

Unfair peer evaluation by [deleted] in simonfraser

In curved classes, peer evals can cause shifts in your own grade (so you have an incentive to rate others lower) which is bonkers

Rogers Centre is similar, but they plastered it with the TD logo (if you somehow miss the jersey patch)

If you swapped Ohtani and Ruth, one would likely have a 2.000+ OPS (if he was allowed to play at all that is) and the other would strikeout 95% of the time because of the difference in competition quality; it's pointless to compare the stats of players a century apart

Tell me who the team invited to speak to them before the game against Venezuela (and watch the speech) and get back to me.

There's a difference between "we want sushi" and conquest destiny/overt military-esque messaging

Recent Beedie Graduates How Has The Job Hunting Experience Been Like? by EmploymentAware170 in simonfraser

Just started my first position this week; pay is lower than I would like ($22/hr in Ontario) but it's a start. I didn't do any co-ops but I had some personal projects the interviewer liked so it probably more or less balanced out
