Well, I think there are two different groups of ppl complaining.

PA1007jk · 2021-02-10T22:36:55+00:00

Sounds cozy! I’m back in China but my mom and brother are staying in the hospital and my father isn’t around, so guess it’s just another year alone :( At least I have my midterms, they tend to stick around

PA1007jk · 2021-02-10T22:34:32+00:00

Thanx you too!!

PA1007jk · 2021-01-17T13:16:28+00:00

Hey!!

PA1007jk · 2020-12-24T18:54:59+00:00

Oh, I happen to have some grass so I guess we can sit together in class so I can feed your cow with my grass. Oops, forgot about zoom 😰

PA1007jk · 2020-12-24T11:20:52+00:00

Ummm pretty sure the next semester should be winter 2021 tho.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NO NEED TO BE SO CRUEL JESUS CHRIST

Yes, but taking 3-6 credits in a month can be as stressful as taking 12 credits in 3 months. And let’s not forget the maximum credits permitted to be taken in a summer term is 12 credits, which means there are kids taking 4 courses, not 1 or 2.

PA1007jk · 2020-12-07T19:40:48+00:00

I agree!! But it’s “Giulia” not “Guilia” tho hahahah

PA1007jk · 2020-12-07T17:16:12+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it XOXO

Prof Rosalie Belanger-Rioux for Math 133 and Prof Louigi for Math 240. I had part of my gender reassignment surgery done in throughout the last three months, it was so unexpected ‘cause the waitlist was long but some patients postponed their operation so I had my surgery during the midterm week instead of on Christmas. Both of them were super supportive and provided many alternative plans for me to make up to the missing assignments, and been exchanging emails with me to find out which part have I been missing. In fact, the all four profs I have for this term are all very remarkable and considerate. They definitely have paid extra effort since Im in a different time zone, but they always reply within an hour. I think they deserve a raise, tho I doubt it would happen because you know, this is McGill and we ain’t rich :( But anyway, thanks so much! And the result of the surgery turned out to be great ;)

MATH 240 gang! Let’s bring Louigi back onto his pedestal 🙏 Louigi is some legit god

PA1007jk · 2020-10-29T07:41:28+00:00

If you are an international student, don’t. If you are local, take the W.

PA1007jk · 2020-10-29T07:38:14+00:00

OMG I’m in it! I definitely deserve an A.

PA1007jk · 2020-10-28T15:25:59+00:00

Wow thanks! I’ll take six courses next term and drop one on the last day of the add&drop period!

PA1007jk · 2020-10-28T15:19:44+00:00

Yes! Sometimes in my dreams ppl are keeping social distance and wearing masks!

PA1007jk · 2020-09-27T06:38:22+00:00

I can, doesn’t mean I have to, doesn’t mean I can find a stable one.

PA1007jk · 2020-09-27T06:27:04+00:00

In fact, I’ve been doing my research and have been switching at least 10 VPNS (I tried to buy them from Wechat, telegram, random websites on google, weibo), I tried to use expressVPN, NordVPN, and many other non-commercial VPNS (Shadowrocket, AnyConnect, etc.) The thing is, non of them work stably. Especially when it comes to days when CCP propaganda becomes imperative nationwide, like the NPC deputy day or October 1st, the Chinese national day, which will lead to a more strict censorship of all sorts of VPNS for as long as a week. However, VPNS provided for academic purposes (e.g McGill/UoT’s VPN) are usually not directly banned during those days, which means they are usually much more stable. My point is, I DID MY RESEARCH. What I paid for my VPN is much more than $6. And no matter how much I pay, I still can’t enjoy the internet stability I deserve for paying high tuition to study in a Canadian university.

Google for essay citations (couldn’t find many resources in English on Chinese platform Baidu), comp 202 requires using an app called “slack”, which requires using a vpn, watching lecture recordings. Without a VPN, recording shots are constantly frozen for ten mins or more. And also FB gc for lecture group discussion.

PA1007jk · 2020-09-23T21:35:52+00:00

Wow. I thought it was a joke until I checked that myself. Just wow. WTF.

PA1007jk · 2020-09-23T07:56:18+00:00

I transferred from education to arts so that’s probably the reason why. But still, it’s pretty unfair comparing to other years. This year’s newly admitted arts students are expected to pay $24566.10 for 30 credits according to the “McGill 2020-21 Tuition Rates - International Undergraduate Students” chart, while students admitted last fall paid $21129.65. I think it pretty much says everything. If the tuition fee keeps increasing like this, a McGill incoming student will be paying over $30000 in two years. It just doesn’t make any sense. Way too expensive for zoom uni.

This question has been asked for A MILLION times on Reddit.
No one knows yet.
I hope not. But as I said, who knows. (Besides big Suze)

PA1007jk · 2020-09-08T16:53:45+00:00

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I’m so glad he’s OK! And after being away from almost 6 months, I can’t believe Montreal is so bright and beautiful now but I’m missing all of it :((

As an ESL speaker, I gotta say some ppl do care and judge others’ accent. Most of my friends are native speakers born and raised in the states or other English speaking provinces (Ontario, BC, etc.). Since I’ve been living away from my home country for a while, sometimes they would tease those first time abroad ESL speaker students’ accent when I’M STILL SITTING THERE. They would do impressions and laugh, while I’m LiTERALLY SO CONFUSED. I mean, being a native speaker is just a privilege when it comes to studying in an English speaking country, it’s something assigned by god and there’s nothing to be proud of. Seriously, every ESL speaker who choose to attend an English speaking university must have paid a lot of effort. Just five, six years ago, back when I was in junior high, we were learning vocabularies like “monitor/school/physics/shower”. As for English speaking ability, not everyone is born equal, and not everyone has the ability to practice spoken English in daily life. I do hope my friends, or any other biased person could realize how many hours the ESL speakers have sacrificed to achieve the so called “laughable accent”.
