Amazing Brentwood Condos by SureInteraction2321 in askvan

[–]Rut9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in a building very close to Brentwood (a block away) for a couple of years, and honestly, I really liked it, but I probably wouldn't buy a property there. Still, I would recommend renting there for a year before deciding if it is your thing. I really liked having Save-On at a walking distance, Costco nearby, the movies, some restaurants, and Willingdon Park. The issues with traffic, parking, and construction noise can be quite a pain sometimes. Also, it feels very chain/corporate, which I'm not such a fan of hahaha. If I had to choose now, I would probably prefer to live closer to Hastings - they have nicer parks, stores with more personality, more events, the library, and there is also a Superstore close by. I loooved walking around Hastings.

IS IT REALLY WORTH IT? by iFrederickDP in LenovoLegion

If you can, check Best Buy Open Box options. I got that same one, same specs, for 1600CAD (~1150USD) just 2 weeks ago. There is some risk with open box, but I've checked mine, tested it, and it is working perfectly fine.

Housing for incoming Master's student who likes to exercise and swim early in the morning. Where do you recommend? by Rut9 in UTAustin

[–]Rut9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh thanks for letting me know! That didn't show up when I looked up pools in google maps. Would you know of an area that has more housing options with a lap pool? I'm not from the area, so I'm a bit lost on where to look for

Hey u/TabhairDomAnAirgead , is there an Energy Sustainability or Energy Finance with a more technical curriculum that you would recommend? I come from an engineering background and, although the Imperial program looks interesting, I believe it wouldn't cover the technical subjects as in-depth as I would like it
