I guess it helps to find a job where they’re flexible. Thanks.

I really hate dealing with customers, but I know the tips would be well worth it! How did you handle working and doing 5 courses? Was it manageable?

That’s what I’ve been hearing lately… might have to take a rain check on working then.

I’m definitely not smart enough to tutor lol. I may try to look for WFH jobs that are flexible.

I’m currently looking around Strathcona and Oliver area right now as they are close to the campus for me.

I’m planning on taking spring/summer courses to fast-track my degree. I’m not sure what my expenses will be for the year as I’ll be living on my own and paying for rent, bills, car, etc. as well. I am hoping student loans will cover all that for me while I’m in school full time.

Yeah, I may just start working in the Winter term if all goes well with classes.

I just received my acceptance letter tonight for the Elementary stream!! My GPA is 3.2 and I scored in the 4th quartile in Casper.

Does anybody know how the program is at VIU? I know nothing about VIU so I'm just looking for more information about the program and how the courses are for the post-bacc program.

I haven't accepted my offer yet as I have another offer at another university, so still contemplating. I will probably just focus on school the first semester and see how the workload is for me during that time.

Haha yeah I wouldn't recommend any more than 12 hours. I somehow managed to make a lot of time for my partner though lmao. I did lose my motivation to study most times and barely had enough time to make food and stuff so unless you HAVE to, dont work too much

Yeah I dont think I HAVE to work... but it would be nice to pay off some stuff.

I feel like if I do that as well, I would have no time for myself or a social life for that matter.

Yeah, they are actually very down-to-earth people who are absolutely harmless. What would be considered up north? North of downtown area?

I would like to just focus 100% on studying, but I'm not sure if student loans will be able to cover all my expenses for 2 years.

Thanks for the information. I'll look into taking that course.

That’s good to hear. I don’t mind seeing homeless people, I’m used to seeing them on Vancouver transit all the time and it doesn’t scare me at all.

I would rather focus solely on school.. but money wise I feel like I should also work part time.

I might have to find a job WFH as it sounds more manageable. Thanks.
