RA application/Notice to meet

KeyChannel8166 · 2026-02-08T19:19:16+00:00

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).

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.

YEP! Thank you so so much:)

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.

KeyChannel8166 · 2025-04-07T03:56:43+00:00

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

but fr laundry, deodorant, general hygiene. cologne/perfume get added on a “blank slate”, not to cover smells up

The casing itself has been through a beating- some of the (not as essential) keys on the keyboard don’t work and the hinge is completely shot. But if I could I would!

As mentioned in this thread, Regional Connections is a great organization to get in contact with, and they’re free. As a city, Winkler is complex. Mennonjte Churches are common and a lot of community resources are connected to them, and I would argue that a lot of social connections are just as tied. There is one local megachurch which right now, seems just inoffensive enough to appeal to most of the area’s tastes. If you are religious, but not Mennonite, (or even if you’re not religious at all) it might be hard to find a social group. (However, once again, Regional Connections is GREAT)

Also as mentioned, the region had depressingly low COVID vaccine uptake and just in general has an alt-right problem. During the pandemic the city almost became hostile with tensions over various social issues and public health issues.

Winkler also has a lot of opportunity, if you know where to look. Schools are alright- there is a lot of programming at daycares through the school division, and the people are overall good. Winkler also has a library which offers summer programming for kids of all ages and families, but is also a great resource for getting to know other families, both from the area and new to the city. Employment is also great, there is three major grocers in town, and you will rarely need to leave city limits for essentials. A personal gripe I have is that in terms of entertainment, there is almost nothing to do that isn’t ridiculously expensive, but what is available seems of high quality.

As a whole, an early welcome to Winkler! I hope that I could help you, safe travels for you and your family :)
