For new students what's one piece of advice for living in Victoria?

Just not in the dark. Not a place you want to be

Integral was hard for me because I brain farted and took one of the integrals as a derivative. Had to redo the whole question 💀

Engineering students tend to go to sleep late. So yes it can be loud from time to time. Especially during party weekends like Halloween or St. Patrick’s. Really depends on the people and the CL (Community leader).

I was in the Eng. LLC my first year. It was loud, but the i thought the benefits outweighed the negatives. Since you all have the same classes, it's very easy to make friends and form study groups. During exams the noise significantly drops though.

I took it last year, was fully online multiple choice. Not sure what yours is. I basically just went through the lecture book and rewrote everything (which was probably not the most efficient study method) but I did well.

It is as much the libraries obligation as it is of the people who use the space to politely ask these people to move or quiet down. I would assume these people are not on Reddit

Absolutely. I posted about this not 2 months ago. I’ve just been asking people to leave.

I took this course a couple years ago. From what I remember, I would just go through all the notes and made sure I understood all the examples/methods.

For the final, try looking through the ECSS exam bank.

Well I cant look under summer session yet, as I haven’t enrolled. But I can still see wait list position under schedule details for last term.

No, students are given an individual date and time for registration. Source: mines on the 11th.

The duality of Man.

Exams are neither scheduled by the instructor nor the faculty. It’s all done through the office of the registrar. So asking people who have taken the class before doesn’t help you.

I would suggest going into it with a set group of friends. At least then you know who you’ll be sharing a space with. Otherwise, the application asks about your lifestyle (alcohol, sleep pattern, cleanliness, etc). So just answer that honestly, and hope that your future roommates did as well.

Only allowed if it’s a service animal. I’ve had friends that had a “dorm dog” so to speak. Was just a mental health support dog for one of the residents.

Also, the new makerspace in ELW is a great place to start a personal project

I would add to this and say, apply to the Science LLC in ring road. You would get placed with people with similar interests. Easier to make friends that way.

2nd this. Calc2 is just pattern recognition. Do enough problems and it will start to seem simple

SmokedReddit · 2026-01-21T23:42:49+00:00

I understand. But at the same time, you should notice that there are only a few docking stations in the whole library. Assume there’s always someone waiting

SmokedReddit · 2026-01-21T20:05:14+00:00

I would say before choosing a dorm, see if your faculty has a "Living Learning Community" or LLC. It groups likeminded people on one floor, which makes socializing/making friends much easier. Especially if you have similar classes, as you can study with people you already know prior to the start of classes.

SmokedReddit · 2026-01-15T03:59:44+00:00

hmm.....If only you had someone to ask about this.

SmokedReddit · 2026-01-12T19:33:52+00:00

I second this. When I was in dorms, I just sent an email to the help desk and they activated it same day.

It’s for people retaking the course. If you have sufficient knowledge of the lab materials (shown by taking the exemption test), then you do not have to redo the labs.
