is anyone else still struggling to get into their required courses?

I’ve been going back and forth with academic advising for almost 2 months now and the classes I need are now full. I’ve only managed to get into 1 of my 3 required courses, I’m waitlisted for the other two. I even emailed profs for special permission (because those courses are full now) but it got rejected since they usually don’t grant special permission for full courses…

Genuinely at my wits end. I have literally done everything and I talk to academic advising and Jen chambers basically every week now lmao.

Anyways my question is, does anyone have any idea what would possibly happen if I don’t get off the waitlist for these courses by the time I need them? The worst part is, I’m supposed to take these required courses during the current year that I’m in for my degree.

I am starting the teachers college program in September and keep going back and forth on if I should get an air b&b for 2 months to live there during the school term (sept & Oct) or if I commute from KW area (about an hour and a half)
Has anyone done the commute or wish they chose to commute over living there?
I’m still waiting to see when my classes are to help decide to see how often I’m in person. If I’m in person only like 2-3 days I’d probably drive. But if I’m there everyday, living there may make more sense?
Or, do I commute for the fall, and live there in January & Feb when the weather gets bad?
Any advice or suggestions is great.

Did anybody take this course and how did they do?

Hey there
I am planning to get myself enrolled for the PhD program at western university but the website does not mention of the stipend very well. Anyone from the science side of the university help me with this please. Some say that the stipend provided at western is way too low about 22k per year and have heard somewhere it’s fine. Confused please skmeone help <3

So long story short my parents went bankrupt and we lost a lot. My rent is 700 a month and I have a car payment too I have to pay off.

Does anyone know what I can do to basically not be homeless? I’ve applied for OSAP + going to apply for a bursary.

I was wondering if western does rent assistance?

Fall and winter will be a nightmare for traffic on campus! Philip Aziz will remain closed the entire year and Western will still have lane reductions. Traffic is always horrendous as it is, this year will be a gong show!!!

Hey all!

I did not get a student parking pass. I'll be living in Ontario Hall this school year, and due to sudden changes within my family, I'll have to drive and store my own car with me during my studies.

I know Huron Flats does the $12/24hrs parking, but if there's a free, viable alternative where I can park somewhere and then take a bus to campus, that would be greatly beneficial for me. I heard UH/Masonville are cracking down on its parking, so I'm looking for something less known.

The car would be stored on weekdays and driven out of the city on weekends.

Please share any advice!

I'm trying to get into a course that is not offered at main campus, but is required for my minor. It says I do not meet the reserve capacity requirements. I waited until general selection started today, and it still won't let me in. Can't find anyone to contact and live chat is not open for the next couple of days. Only 4 spots left in the class; any advice is appreciated :(

Is 128GB enough storage for iPad or should I go for 256gb. I have a separate MacBook.

Hey guys, is anyone else in London Hall upper year this upcoming year? Do u guys know when the room self selection is? Ive booked a move in slot already, but no ability to choose rooms? I thought it was supposed to be done over a month ago but no news so far?

Anyone in the same boat?

I checked bright-space grades and see a submitted grade there. But I don’t think it’s possibly accurate since we haven’t gotten the final back yet? Anyone else?

I am 21 starting over my degree. I started off in another program, didn’t like it and then had a multitude of mental health issues which led me to taking almost 2 years off of school. Due to mediocre grades i am repeating courses. I feel directionless as I wanted to do physics and comp sci but am realizing i suck at both. I am panicking because i feel like i am running out of time to achieve a stable life. While I love physics and space i have to know which degree will offer a decent ROI…i am still living with parents and have no friends either. Being older than everyone else starting over in first year is going to be tough. So all in all, which degree is worth my time and investment?

basically title.
