Lost Plush in MFH 162
Found this poor little fellow under a seat in Murray Fraser Hall room 162 this evening. They have now been moved to the front right corner of the classroom as to be more visible.

Im tired of this sub being bombarded with “I got rejected from …..” “what average do I need for…..” “ what grade will they look at…” “ i have a 96 in …. Is that good enough for …..”
Please ask the advisors. We don’t have the answers. You’re about to be an adult and need to know who to ask the right questions. No one goes on here to read your high school marks and let you know if you will get into whatever program. We dont know. We can guess. But the advisors will 100% have more accurate information.
Go on Ucalgary website, go on advising, and find what times they have online advising.
Or email your faculty’s advisors.
For example in engineering its engginfo@ucalgary.ca
Please it will be a win win for everyone if people stopped trying to use this as an academic advisor subreddit.
EDIT: Another redditor in the comments brought up an important point.
“Let me just clarify the Engineering Advisor DO NOT REVEIW High School Admission. Asking them why you didn't get in or waitlisted is a waste of time.
Only the admissions department can answer those questions so please contact them or visit them for advising.
Admission website: https://www.ucalgary.ca/future-students/undergraduate/contact
If you are a transfer student from a different university or different facility and are planning to transfer into Engineering then contact the Engineering Advisors.”
Thanks for the added info!
Best of luck with getting into U of C we are happy to have you!

Term break should be in the middle of the semester.
Crazy, I know, right. Hopefully no one gets mad at me for saying this.

Hey everyone,
If you've grabbed food in Mac Hall recently, you know a basic meal combo easily hits $15–$18 now. At the same time, campus vendors wrap up every evening with unsold meals, baked goods, and prepared food that gets tossed.
A few of us graduate students at Haskayne are doing research for an ENTI 601 project on campus food affordability and food waste.
We’re testing the viability of CampusSaveBites - a concept similar to Too Good To Go, but built specifically for campus vendors (like spots in Mac Hall and campus cafés). The idea is letting students reserve and pay for end-of-day surplus items online at a steep 40% - 60% discount for a quick 15-minute pickup before they close.
To see if this could actually work in practice, we need honest data from people on campus:
The survey is completely anonymous and takes 2–3 minutes:

Really appreciate anyone willing to help us build real data for our final project!

I'm a third-year student, and I usually get average to good grades. Lately, I've been struggling in my major classes to the point I feel like I'm the worst student in the class, and it's really affecting my mental health. I feel like a failure because I just don't understand the professor or the concepts. I just got my midterm grade back and I don't think I will pass this class. I've never failed or dropped a class before, so I don't know what to do. I'm too embarrassed to talk to anyone about this or go to academic advising... I've even been considering changing my major. Please help :(

Hi yall I’m incredibly sick rn, like fever, dizziness and I have a throat infection. I got antibiotics but idk if my doctor will write me a doctors note to defer my midterm, and I’m scared that my request for writing the deferred midterm will be denied. Does anyone know what my chances are?

I'm a first year kines dying for a summer studentship for summer 2027, is it a bit late to express my interest since most of my profs either are not doing studentships or have people in mind.

Yesterday (Oct. 26th) ATCO ran a whole day of interviews for their engineering co-ops beginning in May 2027 in the natural gas department. I was told to expect to hear back the end of the day if I'd gotten the position but its been radio silence. Has anyone gotten any call backs or do we think all hope is lost? Just looking for some more perspectives.

To the people sitting in front of, behind me, and in the same row as me in the 5pm math 211 lecture with dr. Shahada, kindly shut the fuck up. I’m paying to take this class and all you’re doing is distracting me from the lecture content that I paid for with a professor I love. The class is genuinely hard and I’m already working my ass off to be barely passing the first midterm with 53% (thanks anxiety disorder) despite my accommodations. The webwork and the written assignments went decently but after practing my butt off and paying for a tutor multiple times, I’m annoyed. I’ve put a lot of time and energy into this course along with the rest of the draining energy from my other two courses. I genuinely don’t understand why people are talking about math in the math lecture to your seat partner instead of listening to the lecture. It’s infuriating. I have ADHD and am easily distracted by outside stimulus and this is just a cruel joke. Paying attention to the lecture and writing notes was already hard enough and you put this on top.
Not to mention the tedious matrix calculations we have to do entirely by hand, that are prone to mistakes and mean one missed negative sign or a transcription error means you get the entire question wrong and half a page of work is useless.
The math concepts are genuinely beautiful but it’s infuriating that I like math but have trouble with it already and then there’s people in the lecture making it even more difficult despite my trying really hard to just pass the class.
I love the professor. The content is fun when I get it, but I want to cry every time I make a silly mistake because I’ve gone too fast on the question. Like okay but I know that from high school and got feedback like that from past teachers but this university math is a degree of difficulty higher than I’ve ever had and with other circumstances in life, this has been some of the most draining experience ever for me.
Just please shut up and listen to the prof.

Hello! Just wondering when one would expect to hear back regarding admission? I am a university transfer student and meet the location requirements. Admission said they close in March, but just wondering if I may hear back before then. Thank you!
First choice science, second is English.

Anyone else feeling stressed, like the midterm is gonna have 14 questions each with parts a-d in 1 hour 30 mins??!!

I’m going to India for my cousin’s wedding in Winter 2027, likely from late January to mid-February. I’ll be taking 4 courses that semester, and I’m concerned about potentially missing midterms during that time.
I know that a family wedding probably isn’t considered a valid reason for a deferred exam, but I’m wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.
Has anyone had success arranging to write midterms early, taking them after returning, or having the weight transferred to the final exam?

I’m in prof. Tedds class and her midterms are so ridiculous, only 40 mins for 40 questions? Barely anyone was done by the time the timer went off. What’s it like for the final?

Me and a friend are visiting Calgary for the week, both of us are in uni so we're looking to see if there's anything fun to do during the week that students like to do? Any suggestions would be great.
