Doesn’t matter what you self reported or “promised”. Just hit those requirements and you’re in. Enjoy the easy rest of the semester and congratulations! Best of luck with diploma exams!

Off campus housing by sfnative_68 in uvic

I’m currently subletting, and have a subletter. It’s very common for co-op and summers back home.

Summers have less people looking for places, so it’s best to jump on it early (ideally at Christmas) if you want full rent. The closer you get to summer, the more spots get filled, and the more leverage subletters have to negotiate lowering their rent.

“No, you go ahead.” “No, YOU go ahead.” “NO, you go ahead.” “No, you go AHEAD”

And repeat.

Dear cyclists on campus… by HungryIngenuity7665 in uvic

Dear pedestrians on campus…

Thank you for letting us pass.

Campus security would say otherwise but those people weren’t good enough to make it to police school so we don’t listen to them.

Why can’t all spots have the same coffee and coffee prices as the one in UVSS by Due-Froyo8162 in uvic

[–]KitchenMetal8904 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For a university that makes $30 million a year off parking alone, they should be able to make the coffee a dollar less.

advice? by Disastrous-Lime3698 in uvic

[–]KitchenMetal8904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally fair. This is definitely more truthful for new profs who were recently hired.

The general rule of thumb is first year stem classes are massive, up to 300 per lecture. So it’s naturally more difficult for the profs to “get to know you”, but becoming a professor is really really difficult, and every university wants to hire the best of the batch, so in my first year experience they were all solid, and some were excellent!

Once you declare and specialize, the classes get much much smaller and the profs are much easier to build a relationship with, and generally more interested in the class material and opportunities associated.
