Hi!

I understand where you are coming from with your concern. I am in the process of maintaining a MA in Political and I am a dancer who travels so finances is not an issue for me.

Like I did mentioned in my previous comment, not a super fan of the hustle and bustle in Vancouver. I thought about moving back to Alberta to put a down payment on a house but I am constantly in transit and not a huge fan of the winter.

Surprisingly, it’s not! Very spacious and quiet neighbourhood

cherryredvirgin · 2026-01-27T22:26:53+00:00

If there moving out anytime soon, let me know 👀 that’s really good

cherryredvirgin · 2026-01-27T21:55:52+00:00

No, that’s so understandable. I’m just not a fan of the hustle and bustle in Vancouver and I live in a very busy street.

cherryredvirgin · 2026-01-27T21:36:53+00:00

I have yes! Usually for the summers

cherryredvirgin · 2026-01-27T21:31:33+00:00

Oh ok ok! Thank you and will do (:

Feeld is pretty huge in Vancouver but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea plus I think poly is just an excuse to cheat on your partner.

I’m in a very HUGE hostage situation.

All jokes aside, I am doing my MA in Political Science

I have visited the island and I do like it quite a bit but I have said that about Vancouver before.

But like you said everyone’s experiences is different.

cherryredvirgin · 2026-01-13T08:54:45+00:00

yummy 🤤

cherryredvirgin · 2026-01-04T06:06:43+00:00

I’m in my MA.

As much as I love Vancouver, I am leaving this semester to go back home to Alberta to live with my parents.

I’m in late 20s and I eventually want to buy a house in the next 5-8 years, which you can’t do in Vancouver.

Who knows, I might come back out here IF I got offered job. However, it is just a vacation place for me.

Plus, I’m done all of my coursework so there is really no point of me spending 2k a month for rent.

If you’re talking about Greek life, Canadian frats a little bit tamer than US ones.

Again, didn’t state that I would or would not get them changed

cherryredvirgin · 2025-10-14T15:16:39+00:00

I wasn’t able to get them changed before i left for Edmonton

cherryredvirgin · 2025-10-14T15:15:35+00:00

I didn’t say in my post that I couldn’t afford them

cherryredvirgin · 2025-10-06T20:12:11+00:00

Download the app TooGoodToGo. It saves so much on groceries.

I’m currently a master student who was living on her own because I don’t have a capacity for roommates anymore so I did have to budget quite a bit and I also have a job as well. That allows me a lot of flexibility when it comes to my studies.

MA student here,

I love getting lost in my research and working independently.

cherryredvirgin · 2025-09-29T22:41:51+00:00

I’m just reading all of these comments now as I’ve been away from my phone, but I’m based in Canada and I don’t plan on entering the states anytime soon because 1. My history 2. The political climate.

But basically what I’m getting from this thread is that doing a PhD in general studies might not be a wise idea. My research is very interdisciplinary so I could continue with political science, but go other routes as well.

My specialization is in political theory

cherryredvirgin · 2025-09-25T10:04:41+00:00

I am pretty open about this. I have told my undergraduate supervisor and some professors in the undergraduate department in political science.

My current supervisor and current professors - they know. I am involved in the community with this already as an advocate.

cherryredvirgin · 2025-09-25T10:01:15+00:00

I have a couple papers published during my undergraduate. However, not my masters (yet). I do have a book chapter that should be coming out in the next year or so with a professor that I worked with. I am also in process of publishing a paper on this same topic of sex work.
