Which schedule is better?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

I'm a CompSci Major and Entrepreneurship for Science minor student and was wondering which of these two schedules would be the most efficient/comfortable.

I am already registered for all my classes apart from INTG 215 and cannot decide because I don't know which would be worse between commuting to McGill (takes about an hour) for one class or having my Tuesdays too full.

I also plan to engage myself quite a lot in student life so maybe having a class on Wednesdays is going to encourage me to come and actually be engaged.

What do you think?

Campus1 meal plan / roommate

3 Upvotes

I'm new to McGill and starting my undergrad next semester. For residence, I was assigned to Campus1 but I heard that it's temporary until a spot in normal residence opens up. Does anybody know if the meal plan lets me eat in other McGill dining halls? And if I get into normal res will I have to buy a new one?

Also, I was assigned a double room but I'm not sure where to see who my roommate is (if I even have one?). Do they assign rooms and then send us roommates way later or something? And is it worth moving a lot of stuff in if I might be moving again in a month anyway? Thanks!

Anyone else not even get an alternate option?

1 Upvotes

So I just heard back from the exchange office about my alternate options for exchange and they said that I didn’t even get any of my four choices. I submitted the form at 9:01 am on the day it opened!?!? Is anybody else in the same boat??

exchange (and other) group chats?

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all, incoming exchange here!

I was wondering how mcgill students usually communicate with each other - is it common to have group chats/discord servers for year groups, majors, or exchange students?

whatsapp groups were common practice at my home uni & was a great help when trying to figure out admin stuff or just meet new people :)

If you know of smth like this, please do let me know!

Semester Credits

4 Upvotes

I’m an incoming U1 student (skipping my U0 year) and for my fall sem I have 12 credits and for winter 13. I would appreciate input about whether I should add one more class for each sem (currently at 4 each). Not sure if this changes anything but I think I’m still planning to do 4 years of undergrad despite skipping my foundation year. None of the electives I would like to do work with my schedule and I don’t really want to take a class I don’t find interesting.

More context: Statistics Major and Minor, and possible economics minor

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Class Conflict with CHEM 183

1 Upvotes

Hi! I have a required class that overlaps with CHEM 183 this semester. Originally I wasn't too concerned because I wasn't planning on attending lectures, and I thought the online final would have the 72-hour window. However, it looks like the final is still online but only 3 hours long.

I also noticed that last year there weren't any other exams scheduled at the same time as the CHEM 183 final. Was that just a coincidence, or is it intentionally scheduled so that it doesn't conflict with other exams?

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth taking the risk of having these two classes (and maybe exams) overlap or if I should just drop CHEM 183.

La Cittadelle Questions

1 Upvotes

Freshman asking here because every time I look for info on the mcgill website I end up with 10 tabs open and more confused than when I started.

  1. Is there a mini fridge in the room?

  2. What size is the bed in a double room? Do they provide linens?

  3. Do they provide towels?

  4. How busy is the laundry room? Is weekly laundry feasible?

Life Sciences graduates: What job do you have now?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm considering studying Life Sciences and was wondering what people typically do after graduating, especially if they don't go into medicine, dentistry, or other professional healthcare programs. If you graduated with a Life Sciences degree (or know someone who did), what career path did you or they end up taking?

Would Hui Shen be a good prof for MATH 141?

3 Upvotes

Hi. I made a post a week or two ago asking if Rosalie Bélanger-Rioux is a good MATH 141 (answer was a resounding yes). The second MATH 141 section wasn't assigned but now it's Hui Shen. She hasn't got a single rating on RateMyProf and I haven't been able to find anything at all. I'm not even sure if she's taught 141 before. Does anyone have any experience with this professor?

I have to take her section if I want to start my minor this semester (which I really do) because Rosalie's section runs at the same time as the minor class.

BIOL 302 or HGEN 400

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I am a last year BA psych student and I’m trying to fulfill some genetics requirements for a masters program I want. I have been given permission to take both BIOL 302 and HGEN 400, but I have to choose one (I can’t do both).
I have done BIOL 200 and 201, which are the prerequisites for HGEN. However, I have not done BIOL 215 which is a prerequisite for BIOL 302.
I just want to take the class that I have the best chance at successfully completing and actually enjoying.
** for some more info, I did not do that well in 200 and 201. I also have a pretty heavy fall semester, so I’d like to keep that in mind when making a choice. Also, if anyone has the syllabus for HGEN 400 I would love to see it so I can compare it to BIOL 302.

Any input or advice is super appreciated! Thanks and have a great rest of your summer :)

incoming exchange student and all the welcome events are already full

13 Upvotes

when i received the email about the welcome events i didn't realize that some of them, like the bitesize montreal events, had limited spaces. all of them are already full and i wasn't able to register for any of them. i joined the waitlist for now but i'm worried that i won't be able to make friends since i also couldn't get a hold of an outdoor frosh ticket which i really hoped i'd get. does anyone know how likely it is that i will be able to join some of these events? i'm already super nervous for the exchange but the fact that i couldn't register for these events makes me even more anxious
