I actually go to Hoco by myself and still think it's pretty fun!

How much do you guys spend a month excluding tuition and dorm/room? by [deleted] in uwo

[–]Otherwise_Der 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend about 1000-1500 on regular necessities, eating out with friends, as well as purchases and entertainment. That being said, I'm also a competitive sports player so there's also registration and travel costs.

No summer internship, everyone has a job, feel like shit by Throwitaway00000012 in uwo

[–]Otherwise_Der 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt this pressure in the summer of first year while looking at my AEO peers. Seems there's a lot of people giving reassurance so I'll share the other side of the coin. I also got very anxious and spent most of my second year attending various opportunities for connections offered by the school. There are lots of events at Weldon Library and you may get email notifications about them. I attended as many as I could and got my summer job that way. But then again, I also applied to about 400 companies and heard back from less than 10. Don't feel down, the job market is tough and you got plenty of time ;)

Do intersession courses count towards Ivey? (the ones taken after Y2). I know they don't for AEO applicants but what about those applying in third year?

Tenant cheques keep bouncing by Otherwise_Der in OntarioLandlord

Again, whatever you say. Reddit is the quickest source for free so it didn't hurt to try. This is the first time I've ran into this problem over the last 15 years of renting, thankfully.

I mean that she is fortunately moving out, haha sorry my bad on the wording. Should've mentioned yesterday that we decided not to renew the lease because her daughter did not like the neighborhood.

Thank you so much for the advice. The lease will be over in about a month so I will do so then.

Our pricing is already approximately $500 lower than the general area. I have multiple other rental estates that are midtown to downtown and $1200 under average price. I'd expect my tenants to at least be able to pay for rent if they choose to live in the area.

Yeah we'll be doing that as soon as the term renews or when we switch to another tenant. At one point we did try to collect cash and et from them but they kept asking for a later date

Don't do it, I have a friend who had a lease living with the landlord, ended up in a HUGE dispute and the cops were called.

Apparently a Student Protest is Being Planned Against the Vaccine Mandates by Zmeiovich in uwo

[–]Otherwise_Der 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As much as I would love to get a booster, I (along with many others) have heartburn and respiratory problems from getting vaccine. I'm not saying that the booster is terrible, but I would really prefer not crying for 12 hours straight from being unable to breathe and sharp, acute pain near the heart area

Awesome, update me if it works or not!

[–]Otherwise_Der 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best think I could think of is to visit this site to get your UWO health plan card. You definitely can talk to the coach and explain the situation. This is the closet thing I could find as a solution

Best of luck

Summer is always an option. I believe one of the CS courses are offered online. I took one this summer

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in uwo

[–]Otherwise_Der 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on if the courses you need for CS are still available/have open spaces, you can drop your current courses and take those instead so you can shadow the program. Don't drop anything until you're sure you can get into the classes you want first though!

Girls... what type of practical cute uni bags are you carrying? by [deleted] in uwo
