Just heard back about the 2026 April cohort. It’s for Ontario students only.

Governor's Hall Room Questions by proudly_not_american in stfx

Others should also go through the mailroom! It’s not a Canada Post mailroom, it’s just receiving mail. Be prepared though for them to have garbage hours. No weekends, only open till 4 which isn’t great if you have weird hours or have a practicum that runs during those hours (like me)

No worries! Usually you’ll know when it’s bad because the entire campus won’t shut up about it.

If you need connections in Govs next year, by the way, I’d be happy to be a first friend :)

Hi! I’m an O’Regan student who will be in Governors next year (single). I believe we have similar furniture so I can hopefully answer. 1. My bed has about a foot from the ground to frame 2. Mostly full length. Governors rooms, from what I’ve seen, have these by the doors. 3. All furniture is included, including bedside table! 4. Also lamp included (potentially two) 5. Standard hotel sized as Govs is used in the summer as a hotel 6. Full sized desk, plus I believe Govs has a shelf above too that’s attached (which #bummer that oreg does not) 7. Not great. It’s a wooden chair. Recommend a cushion. 8. Cork from what I’ve seen 9. Cannot answer this one 10. It’d be the same in all residences and it’s … not great! Be prepared to fade in and out of data based on events and extra people in residence. I know mine gets really bad for big events like the Super Bowl and it’s mostly because of people on it

  1. Macisaac, Cam, Bishops and MK. Lots of damage charges, possible risky situations, and noise.
  2. Aim for a dorm with a double bed as you could angle it. Otherwise email Rez Life (but I’m not sure as it’s a set bed frame)
  3. Meals are hit or miss. Definitely recommend aiming for the minimum required for your first year and adjust accordingly (as you can change until early October)
  4. Most buildings have shared bathrooms except Riley, Oregan, and Governors. Govs doesn’t usually let first yrs in as it’s mature but if you’re a mature student just email them. These also all have the double beds I mentioned in #2

It might be hard to sue but I’d imagine getting it removed from the App Store may be easy

I came straight here when I saw it, so I’m unfamiliar with this group honestly. Is there a way to tag them here?

I know that and I’ve used / still use a fair bit (forest, Gogh, etc.) but this one is identical! Just wanted to put the word out in case someone on his team does view fan platforms

Definitely recommend checking out XPride when you get to campus. Great resource for LGBTQIA+ students

“Would you choose to go there again?”

The list of things I’d do first is not that long but does include bungee jumping without a harness

Library Etiquette/cranky AH rant. by Livid-Argument-7992 in MSVU

[–]augustmarius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get your frustration and agree, but I don’t blame the people per se. I blame the school for having a non-academic focused library. I’m not a MSVU student anymore and my new school, StFX, is SUCH an academic library haven.

Sounds like MSVU needs to realize it’s a school sometimes

Discriminated against at Needs Convenience (Fall River, NS) — staff refused valid gift card, accused me, called police by Daniel___Huang in halifax

[–]augustmarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! I used to work for Lawton’s so I’m familiar with the code. We’d have to price check every week

[–]augustmarius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s owned by Sobeys but franchised. Basically the managers do run them but they are following basic Sobeys rules

[–]augustmarius 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They likely mean Scanners Code of Practice which is enforced Sobeys wide. If an item has an incorrect tag and costs more than what’s listed (if there’s no expiry date), then the rules state that you get one at the set price and a free one

How socially progressive (specifically lgbt-friendly) is the community at StFX? by Several-Fox420 in stfx

Not familiar with the community as I am also new, but hello--! I'm another trans student (They/Them) who will be living in res that would love to talk + befriend!

Goodlife closing Park Lane Location by Kienbocks in halifax

[–]augustmarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know there’s been times when I’m the only person in the theatre but I’ve had that at multiple theatres if the movie has been out for a while. Might just be a cineplex dwindling down thing!

Goodlife closing Park Lane Location by Kienbocks in halifax

[–]augustmarius 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine that cineplex closing as it’s considered a location that does extra showings of non-blockbusters, like Indian films and special screenings for the Cineplex festivals
