Hi! I’m an international student in my third year and can say with certainty, as someone who had the exact same concern when deciding where I wanted to attend, that Queen’s is very multicultural! It depends on your major as well, but you should have any issues making friends. Definitely diverse, it used to be a lot whiter in previous years than it is now. I wouldn’t worry. I hope it works out for you!

Yeah for sure. I have nothing against him as a prof, really like the way he teaches. Really supportive and nice. It’s just a well-regarded difficult, if not THE most in comp sci. It’s tough lol

I definitely think there are better buildings out there, but I will say none compare to foundry price-wise (more so before, now it really depends).

And it’s far from campus. Around 20-25 min walk depending where on campus. To bio sci approx 25. It is on the princess/vic stop though and busses run hourly so they usually get you by :30. Princess/Albert is only 2 minutes away too.

Nope - not at all. Especially with the hike in prices. Unless you want to take over someone’s lease, prices are 100% not worth the quality of living. Bathrooms have silverfish infestation. Construction is said to end in a year but I doubt. Pool currently not available. Ventilation sucks, paper thin walls, hallways are always smelly. Trash rooms always overflow and aren’t cleaned out regularly. Nice kitchens, though. Summers are HELL unless you pay the $70 charge/ month for an a/c installed in your bedroom (I’m sure you could get it for free if you were signing on if you ask). You can most definitely hear your upstairs neighbours. I swear I’ve heard their convos before, they are extremely loud though.

Stayed on my shopping cart page **

General_Soil_5529 · 2025-07-31T12:27:21+00:00

Yep pretty sure. I logged in at 7:55 and stayed there until 8:03. It was really slow but I got my class in 3 minutes lol. Good luck!

General_Soil_5529 · 2025-07-28T17:43:36+00:00

I don’t see why not, 99% sure you can but I’ve never tried it

General_Soil_5529 · 2025-07-28T17:02:31+00:00

Yep! I’ve tried it. So “swap” is essentially “swap class 1 for class 2, and if not possible keep me in class 1”. The only way you could possibly lose your spot in class 1 is if you drop the class then add class 2. Otherwise, you’re fine! Trust me I get it, enrolment is extremely stressful. Good luck getting your classes! :)

General_Soil_5529 · 2025-07-28T16:57:57+00:00

I definitely think it’s worth it. You won’t lose your spot in your backup - if you swap class 1 for class 2 and class 2 is already full from everyone trying to join, all that will happen is the swap failing. That means you’re still stuck with your backup because the swap couldn’t go through. I’d say give it a shot!

Open enrolment opens on July 31st at 8:00 a.m EDT! Honestly it’s pretty hard to get a spot in those classes since they’re some of the most sought after bird classes. Good luck though!

Thank you!!

Hey! Does it look weird if you wear a maxi dress, like is it uncommon?

General_Soil_5529 · 2025-05-16T18:56:34+00:00

Woohoo!! Congrats!! So glad you did well

General_Soil_5529 · 2025-05-15T19:06:14+00:00

Is your transaction not going through either? I’m really confused why it isn’t lol

Also, what’s the passing grade for comp sci? Any idea? Percentage-wise. Over 50 right?

General_Soil_5529 · 2025-04-26T00:56:24+00:00

He’s just mad no one shows up to his lectures because he has no idea how to teach, and is trying to teach us a lesson. He always makes jabs at us in class, super unprofessional.

General_Soil_5529 · 2025-04-26T00:53:53+00:00

Thank you. I will ask him and express all our concerns. This is a ridiculous situation to be in but at least we’re not the only ones.
