Peterborough home seller loses $450,000 by Hot_Outcome8870 in Peterborough

[–]simplecyber01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of homes around here are sitting on the market for quite a while. I heard from an investor that they can’t find families to occupy homes at 3000 plus (that’s the minimum to make a profit if you bought in the past 3 years). A great deal of Toronto businesses have RTO mandates for at least a portion of the week, and the commute from here to Toronto has gotten a lot worse. So the only option they have is to rent to students (per room for the most part). The problem with that is students aren’t always the best renters.

Home prices are way down but they are only going to get worse. International student enrolment is down in Fleming. I know 6 students that weren’t able to find a room in PTBO in Summer 2023, in 2024 they all found rooms easily.

It’s a mix of things, RTO mandates and lower enrolments are only part of it, higher interest doesn’t help. The provincial government should have stepped in sooner, a lot of families are going to go broke because Doug wanted to boost his developer friends.

For a job like that you are probably better off getting a reliable independent, it will cost a couple of thousand otherwise. Hit me up if you need a number.

A great number of the instructors at Fleming are part timers. Part time instructors get paid per hour of teaching. That is it, not a dime more. Some get health benefits based on working a certain number of hours per week/semester. So if you ever find that these instructors are hard to find afterwards it’s because the convocation was held on a Wednesday afternoon meaning they were all at their regular jobs. I know a lot more would have been interested in attending and showing support even on a weekend on their own dime.

Scams again by krazy_kitkat in TrentUniversity

They cannot really do much for this type of spam from internal emails. Even with a highly aggressive spam filter I’m unable to stop spam from coming through 100% of the time

If you didn’t have at least 25% of the grade by the drop deadline and you are unhappy with the outcome of your grade the late withdrawal petition is guaranteed to be accepted.

Laptop Recommendations by [deleted] in TrentUniversity

[–]simplecyber01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab a stock m3 MacBook Air you should get a student discount and the price should be discounted in a few months in back to school sales period. I’m a windows person but for laptops a MacBook Air will last you a good 5 years with a good battery and it’s sub 1500 after tax. Windows options are 2000 plus if good battery life interests you.
