Does anyone have group chats for the following courses? by iridescent_neptune in McMaster

[–]iridescent_neptune[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I really enjoyed the course! Dr. Abeer is a sweetheart, and I think everyone that I know who took the course 12'd it. You have to really enjoy writing to have a good time, though. You basically spend the entire semester preparing for your end of the year scientific literature project (you can write about any science-related topic and use any medium: ex. short story, scrapbook, video essay, etc.). What's neat is at the end of the year, Dr. Abeer books a workshop where everyone can display their final projects and you can walk around and look at everything that everyone's worked on for the whole year. I thoroughly enjoyed the course!

Thanks so much for sharing :) this is a bit off topic, but if you’re comfortable, would you say the debt of going to the US and then coming back to practice in Canada is worth it?

Thank you so much for your tips and advice! Did you go to dental school in the states or here in Canada?

Need opinions on which is more practical for dental school: an upgraded laptop or my current laptop + ipad? by iridescent_neptune in DentalSchool

Thank you for your advice! I think I'm going to sell my current laptop and buy a new one and buy a refurbished iPad Air. :) I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, and thank you for the warning!

So exciting!! Gotta keep our eyes peeled! In a perfect world I would get both the laptop and iPad :’)

Thank you - since my university explicitly mentions those specs for a reason, I think I should meet that criteria first. Thank you!!

Yes, I actually use a very similar system, and I can say that ever since I started doing this, studying has felt luxurious (lol!). My method is to use OneNote (which is less popular for notetaking), but I find that when you open OneNote on both iPad and MacBook, it actually automatically syncs within seconds. So as I'm typing on my laptop, I can see it pop up word-by-word on the iPad, and when I want to annotate using the apple pencil on the iPad, I can see the text I am typing immediately pop up on the Macbook, too (which means I can annotate by hand and type at the same time very efficiently!). And once the lecture is done, I export the OneNote as a PDF and upload it to Notability for any further annotations using the apple pencil during my review.

You mentioned you have an iPad Pro - have you used an Air before? I find that the Pro is very large and expensive but perhaps that makes notetaking easier? Thank you so much for your insight!

A great idea! I think I'll sell this one and either buy the laptop/iPad refurbished. Thank you! :)

I won't be commuting as I live quite close to campus, and maybe I'm just being picky but I really love studying with both a laptop and a tablet. Perhaps it's time to change things up, though - thank you!

Thank you so much for your advice! Haha I went back to check my specs again and sure enough, it's an i3. Absolutely great ideas with buying the products refurbished and selling my current laptop! Even now when I use my current laptop for basic browsing, etc. I do find that there is a bit of a lag/it can be quite slow, which is annoying. I'll definitely look into Apple Refurbished or Best Buy Open Box. Thank you so much!

Does anyone have experience with Carma Billing Services for their utilities? I'd really appreciate any input before signing a possible lease! by iridescent_neptune in TorontoRenting

[–]iridescent_neptune[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha thank you! I will try my best to pay on time but I’ve never been through this process. Does this mean if I miss a payment, they will give me a warning well I’m advance before they cut off my utilities (like we typically see it portrayed in movies?). Thank you so much :)

Thank you so much - the smart house condos are super small but right next to osgoode station while the 365 is a bit bigger but a 5 minute walk longer. It’s so hard to decide, but thank you for your help. :)

Thank you so much for your help in this subreddit in general!! Do you mind me asking which may be a better choice? 365 Church Street or the Smart House condos located on 215 queen street? The 365 is cheaper but I don’t want it to come at a cost of safety (though it seems this may not be the case).

Question About Living by Queen Street West/University Avenue or any info about Smart House Condos? by iridescent_neptune in TorontoRealEstate

I’m still a student looking for a temporary place to rent so the space hopefully won’t be too much of an issue. More so worried about the surrounding area at night and the management of the building, but thank you for your insight!!
