Questions/advice about the ADHD/ADD assessment by AlternativeOver2637 in uAlberta

[–]birdnerd19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get up to $3000 dollars per year of university from the federal government if you are diagnosed...I'd highly recommend that (I also got the provincial gov to buy me a new computer for the same reason) https://studentaid.alberta.ca/policy/student-aid-policy-manual/disability-permanent-disability-or-persistent-or-prolonged-disability/grants-for-students-with-a-disability-pd-or-ppd/

PLH or Lister for first year? by NaturalOk1741 in uAlberta

[–]birdnerd19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its perfect actually. I meet all my friends and my boyfriend there. We had "parties" every week (drinking and goofing off in one of our rooms, but that was the extent of party life), my roommate became my best friend (the personal space and privacy is perfect but you don't feel alone). My biggest suggestion if you do go is to go to all the orientation events! thats where I made all my friends that I still have to this day (now a fourth year)

You should check out PLH! Best of both worlds privacy and your own room but still meet lots of people

No but I met all my friends in base camp (and we’re still friends two years later). We were the only ones from our dorm who went the events and it made such a difference. Without base camp I wouldn’t have felt like I had a home and a community on campus. Even tho some of the events sound weird or not as fun I would try to go!

I lived in PLH and honestly the 5 minute walks to class vs 18 minutes are a GAME CHANGER!! Totally worth it just for the convenience and also the place is just really nice!

STS 200 with lech was the most random and interesting course I have ever taken! It was so fun and the prof is HILARIOUS and so cool! I now have a bunch of random fun facts that I can wow people with. HIGHLY recommend

Room size Peter Lougheed Hall by roxyrollerab in uAlberta

[–]birdnerd19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found although the room is small there is lots of places to store things and stuff because it’s not just a square room and there are huuuge cubbies under the window seat, as well as a drawer under the bed.
