On Campus Who's in charge of the bright idea to have added 4-ways everywhere? 😅

18 Upvotes

In my 20 odd years of being around campus I have never seen such ludicrous traffic. Yes, construction in every direction. But these 4 way stops cause back ups so bad that the person whose turn it is can't go.. which confuses the other 3... then you have pedestrians in there... all of which messes up the order. And yes... pedestrians should have the right of way... And yes.. people coming from the sides had to wait a bit in busy times for the two old way stops but I never had waits like this mess causes.

Who can we comment to about putting them back as they were? Maybe when Wiggins actually opens? 😅😅

Also, is Wiggins gonna be blocked all winter yet...cus yeesh. 🫠

(And don't tell me to bus please, I think people should if they can...but the bus doesn't even go near my workplace, ... or my house to be honest. Closest stop is 8 blocks away. Juggling work and school and life.. spending 2+ hours on transit to/from home and then driving to work isn't logical)

Other Two dogs off leash

5 Upvotes

Just a heads up/notice for anyone near pac, there are two off leash dogs running around together. Unsure if they got out, or if they’re supposed to be out, but if anyone is missing a pet I thought I should let people know.

Edit: larger dogs, both tanish color

If you see them, please call protective services as they are aware and looking for them

Admission Question Grad admissions

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! :)

I’m planning to apply to USask (MSc) for Fall 2027, and was wondering if anyone has experience with the admissions process regarding decision timelines.

The program I’m interested in has a December deadline, & from what I’ve seen on this sub, some applicants have received admission decisions as late as May. I’m curious if applying earlier could mean hearing back earlier / if applications are reviewed around the same time regardless of when you apply.

I’d really appreciate any experiences especially if you applied well before the deadline!

Thank you in advance!!

Student Question Dental Hygiene Program

3 Upvotes

Hello, I’m considering applying for the Dental Hygiene Program for Fall 2027 and wondering if anyone who’s currently in the program or has graduated from Usask has any experiences or something they really enjoyed learning at the program.
What was the most challenging part of the program?
Did you enjoy the hands-on clinical training more, or the academic side?
Was there anything you learned that made you realise this was the right career for you?
If you could go back to your first year, is there anything you wish you'd known beforehand?
Thank you!

Complaining Crosswalk Closure Nightmare

62 Upvotes

The main crosswalk is closed, and there is an "alternative route" a few meters up the road with traffic and pedestrian lights. However, cars are not stopping for the light; one car actively sped up as pedestrians were crossing. Atp the city wants us to get hit by a car, and the only other option is the overpass, which also sucks and is far away. When will this construction end😿

Student Question Seager Wheeler ground-floor rooms; which room numbers are best?

7 Upvotes

Hey guys I’m moving into Seager Wheeler in January 2027, and I’ve been assigned a room on the ground floor.
For anyone who’s lived in Seager Wheeler, are certain room numbers or floors better than others? 👀
I’m wondering whether the ground floor is a good place to live, or if the higher floors are better in terms of privacy, noise, cleanliness, bugs, and the overall living experience.
Also, does anyone know if specific bedrooms have advantages or disadvantages depending on their location in the building?
I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually lived there, especially anyone who lived on the ground floor recently. Thank you!!!!!

Question? Park and ride spots?

12 Upvotes

Hi, I used to always park in Lawson Heights parking and catch the number 17 bus to the university. This worked for me until the route started closing. Now I park in front of Best Buy in Centre Mall parking lot and catch the number 50 or 55 bus. Problem is I heard that they ticket there a lot? I didn’t have any problem with Lawson Heights but I’m worried that I’ll get a ticket in Centre Mall. I will have a night class next semester so I would need to find a spot where I can park and catch a bus to the university without a ticket.

Does anyone know a spot where I can park and catch the bus without a problem? Thanks a lot.

Admission Question When do offers come out?

1 Upvotes

I applied to Biology as a first choice last Friday (October 16) and was wondering if anyone could estimate about when will I hear back?

Also, do they have automatic entrance scholarships? I applied with around a 96% average with my required courses. Would this be good enough for any automatic entrance scholarships, if they have any?

Thank you all!
