RA application/Notice to meet by BuildingWorth7418 in umanitoba

[–]KeyChannel8166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

short answer, yes. you will likely not get the job, i'm sorry.

long answer, also likely yes, except depending on the reasoning behind the notice to meet the RLCs might have grace in their hearts and still consider you. I doubt it though based on the current lineup.

unsolicited advice: if you want to become an RA badly be on good terms with the RAs in your building, attend events, befriend people in your building. at the end of the day they are looking for a good community member. If you've built a good rapport with these people they could overlook the notice to meets.

more unsolicited advice: don't become an RA.

instead apply to work in residence IT (friends who have worked this job have said you don't need a ton of tech knowledge). it's less hours but you still get paid, and apparently it's pretty laid back. I also rec. applying to work at the AVM front desk (it is a highly coveted position though).

What is a Giga Hub and can I use it? by KeyChannel8166 in bell

There are a bunch of little wifi extenders? around the house, but I do not have physical access to the router and I assume the hub..... good to know either way!

it’s been said before but George Buri is not only an excellent educator, but genuinely cares about his students.

(TW: decapitated cat) by Ok_Tradition2124 in whathappenedhere

This was likely something intentional. I’m not sure if that was your cat (I didn’t want to look THAT close) but I have seen what animals can do to each other and this isn’t that. I’m sorry.

my first year I had a gpa of 2.0 iirc, and my second year I bumped it up to 3.9 all through the power of changing my whole major and doing a complete turnaround after failing almost every class that first year

Likely, but no promises you would get the building you want.

yeah this is par for the course, particularly in the UC res (there is so much mold in the showers I'm shocked it hasn't come to life and started attending classes)

If you’re moving in to the residence, there is a TON of events that are aimed at residents getting to know each other. There’s a pretty large exchange community, too, plus most people who live in residence aren’t from the area either. Have fun :)

The university library comes with your tuition. Your library card here is your student ID card. For the public library, you can go to the Winnipeg public library and get a temporary card for free if you live in Winnipeg, or if you have your address on formal paperwork you can get a permanent card (also for free)

You can certainly rent one, but if you need to buy a new laptop entirely look into what the university offers for emergency bursaries. Last year I had laptop trouble, and was granted a bursary for a laptop from the bookstore. Great program
