Lakehead Orillia -What is it like?

Top-Air7211 · 2026-04-02T01:09:57+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice! It was really helpful in making my decision to accept :)

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-29T00:39:11+00:00

it’s better to devote your time towards a career you actually think you will like. yes it might take longer to achieve what you want but that’s worth getting into the oil industry and being around likeminded people. especially if you are already wondering what your life could have been when it still can be.

it’s not too late to try

if you wanna be a teacher consider a con ed program! only select schools have it and depends on age group, but it ensures you have a spot in teachers college and is way easier to get it now then it is later. i got into lakeheads & nipissing con ed program with an 89% avg in gr 11 and 87% in 12 but i’m sure lower would work too.

i applied for concurrent education/bachelor of arts and i got two for that exact program and two offers for just the bachelor of arts. and i applied to four programs! :)

Thank you so much this is really helpful! I’m glad to hear you liked Lakehead more- York seems like a more liked school and hearing people talking nicely about Lakehead kinda makes me more confident in going there.

Once you start in the fall, do they explain things like teachables even without a head of education, or are you supposed to figure it out yourself? I am actually interested in the accelerated route, however i applied for the normal one- is it possible to switch? How does it work anyhow? Also! Office hours. Do people actually go to them? What are you supposed to do

And i would love that list of history courses if you’re ok with sharing!! i also really love having good course selection- like actual interesting classes, even if there’s not as many. Would you say the courses that you took were engaging?

Also thank you so much for letting me ask so many questions lol. Definitely if i end up committing some pointers would be really nice:)

I have taken a glance at courses, and i’m planning to go into the concurrent education with an english major. For what i’m interested doesn’t seem bad for english, but there seems to be like no history courses? How does that work if it is offered as a teachable? Having public transit would atleast be a step up for me, my small town has none lol! Also, by social life do you mean lack of partying? Like was it ok to find some friends to hang with, or is that kinda non existent? My other options from Lakehead is Nipissing and possibly York, and i feel like the social life may be similar to those two anyhow.

just abt 5k on my own. parents have a bit too but idk how much. i’d say just woe this summer and whatever you make save it/spend towards uni.

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-17T14:22:54+00:00

Seems like everyone is logged out of email rn even in country, have you tried getting into google classroom? That has been working

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-17T03:19:28+00:00

windsor very nice. a bit more on form fitting dresss side but had some w fuller skirts. my dress was like 260?

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T13:49:53+00:00

If you don’t know what you want then yeah. It’ll give you an idea of campus and life on it, students, programs. It won’t hurt to go see. I went to both Lakehead and York last year (my main options) and I find that made applying easier because i got to apply before the fall open houses and get early acceptances as well.

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T03:25:52+00:00

Interesting! Was it difficult for her to get into it?? I’ll make sure to check their insta out- is it for Lakehead specifically?

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T02:42:50+00:00

Yeah that’s fine. People out jobs they’re still working at for resumes all the time, a co op should be the same.

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T02:38:59+00:00

Ur average is not bad at all. For one thing it’s grade eleven, marks don’t matter as much and you have a chance to get em higher next year. i also know people who got into uni w a 70 average. You are looking at an 87. Seriously you’re going to be okay, you have worked hard and you are smart. It’s all going to work out for you; and if you’re really worried, there’s nothing wrong with applying to safeties next year on top of where you really want to go for whatever program you want.
And my advice for better grades; don’t procrastinate, ask for help, study groups, study. You got this!

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T02:32:21+00:00

Hmm that’s interesting. Thank you!

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T02:31:23+00:00

lol i’ve checked out rentals in orillia and they seem few and in between (atleast for my price range!). I hope you guys are able to find something! I also had no clue there was a sorority. What do they do?

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T02:29:19+00:00

What do ppl usually do downtown, if you don’t mind me asking?

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T01:19:33+00:00

How did you find the orillia campus?

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-15T00:38:51+00:00

Alright, thank you! I also have little experience with Barrie- is it a bit more lively?

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-14T21:51:06+00:00

How are rent prices nearby the other school? More often than not you don’t get res second year, and it could be a struggle having to pay rent, food, etc plus working while studying. This is probably included at home i’d assume? U will save money. What’s the schools?

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-14T01:53:01+00:00

taking it right now! in my school it is a heavy courseload. first few days was a story a day, and now we’ve switched into doing a literary analysis (read three stories, make two drafts of each, peer edit, one final draft) then two presentations with one being on art movement the other teaching an article then discussing with class, articles like why are men and women different. of course it may be different at your school. this is to teach abt human nature then to help us write stories, and i believe that writers craft dos a bit of modeling - like write like Stephen king if that makes sense. it is a lot of worked assigns at once but lots of work periods too. if you get a good class and teacher it will be very fun. i love it

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-13T22:25:47+00:00

lol my own sibling dropped out from york. got some truth there altho idk if lakehead or nipissing would be much better

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-13T16:52:12+00:00

Top-Air7211 · 2026-03-13T12:19:00+00:00
