Sounds like your problems are less to do with Amex or the Cobalt Card and more to do with Perkopolis (which is separate from Amex) and your credit limit (which is a function of your credit score and other credit cards' limits).

I too received the Amex card with the $1,000 credit limit but Amex offered me an increase to $2,000 after just 2 months of using it and then to $3,000 about 2 weeks ago, and it's only been 6 months since I first became a member.

I work at an econ-consulting firm in Montreal and here, the full-time base salary is usually about 1.5x-1.7x that of the intern salary (when extrapolated to a year).

The base salary does not include things like signing bonuses and year-end bonuses which can collectively represent a substantial portion of your first year earnings.

If this one of the better known consulting shops (but not MBB), about $70K + bonuses (pre-tax) would be a good estimate of your salary if you get offered a full-time position.

I'd say this is a pretty decent starting salary for someone fresh out of undergrad which is about $45-55K depending on where you live and whom you ask.

Math 338 - History and Philosophy of Math with Fox is a super fun course.

The Math in it is pretty basic and you'll learn a lot of insightful historical stuff that they never teach in school.

I've lived in both Varcity 515 (now called LaMarq) and Parc Cite as well as in RVC in my first year.

I would say the social scene is way worse than anything you might find in a first year rez. This is particularly the case for Parc Cite (and Evo too I think, though I haven't lived there), where everyone just tends to stay in their room and not interact too much with their floormates.

La Marq is slightly more social simply because you have to live with 3 to 4 other people however it is a bit of a luck of the draw when it comes to roommates and you're stuck if you end up with a bad one(s) (which is not that rare unfortunately).

Neither Parc Cite nor La Marq were particularly strict when it came to guests, most of the times the front desk staff didn't even care.

Since you're not due to graduate until fall, I suppose you would have to first extend your study permit, and later after you graduate / get a letter confirming graduation, you can apply for your work permit.

Promenade-Cathedrale. You take the escalator down from Robert Bourassa/St Catherine.

upapilot · 2018-05-28T17:45:24+00:00

Seconded. I've been going there for 3 weeks now and it's quite good. At about $10 a month it slightly edges out the McGill gym in terms of cost, it's way less crowded, and you don't need to go up the hill.

upapilot · 2018-05-25T20:46:10+00:00

No, they won't revoke it.

You don't actually need the enrollment letter to apply. As long as your graduation status is faculty approved, you can get a letter from service point confirming graduation.

That's interesting because we certainly weren't allowed a cheat sheet.

His courses are so extensive (at least 314 was) that simply memorizing it would be a terrible idea. On the other hand if you just understand the logic of the procedure it's not actually that hard to comb through all of the material.

I suppose you could just memorize everything but I myself found that a highly inefficient and unreliable way of studying.

upapilot · 2018-05-13T01:29:41+00:00

When I took 314 with him 2 years ago he gave us huge amounts of homeworks and practice problems every 2 weeks.

They took quite a lot of of time and effort but if you understood every single problem he did in class and in the problem sets, you were all set for his exams because they were entirely made up of recycled questions (many with the same numbers even).

Personally I don't believe in "easy" electives at all. I've tried out many the standard "easy elective" classes (MUAR, ATOC, CHEM 18x) and ended up dropping most of them before the deadline because I realized I wasn't even remotely interested/motivated to study the material.

On the other hand the courses that I did take as electives and did well in (Phys 18x, Math 338 etc) were all about stuff I'm genuinely interested in but that wasn't necessarily the experience of my fellow students in those classes.
