Brother is having a hard time

28 Upvotes

My brother is a first year and hes having a really hard time at western right now. We’re from out of province so he came without knowing anyone. Anyways my brother has been telling me that he’s been alienated by his floor and mercilessly excluded where he wouldn’t be let in hangouts and he would constantly be told to leave hangouts because “there are too many people in the room” even if the door was open. He has no friends made yet and he says that he’s not confident to meet others if he can’t have a good relationship with his floor.

Fast forward my brother sadly was involved in an incident where he tripped and fell on someone and everyone ganged up on him, told him to leave the floor and got hkm to his room. Now he’s been accused of doing things he hasn’t done such as “poking another student” and throwing a bouncy ball at someone (which he said he was bouncing the ball around and accidentally hit someone). He’s now on a temporary space in res while he’s “under investigation” and he has been asked questions by the conduct coordinator which he does not remember doing at all. He has tried calling his don and sophs but instead his don never picks up and res staff were sent to his soace and told him to stop contacting people on his floor even if he needs help.

I don’t know whats going to happen to my brother and I worry a lot for him. He’s a bright kid and very smart. If theres anything he may be doing wrong I would like to know.

CYS2214 Midterm

Did anyone else find the midterm pretty hard and the questions to be weird? I’m stresssed about the grade I’m going to get. Most of it was locating information and even then I’m still not sure I got it all right. Maybe one of the worst/weirdest midterms I’ve done.

❔ Course Question❔ Psych 2811 Midterm

2 Upvotes

Is anyone else confused about what's going to be on the midterm? Like, the course is for stats, we've basically been learning about them rather than formulas. So, looking at the midterm guide, it seems to be more about memory, but in the slides for review, it directly says application rather than memory? Like, I'm just curious about the format or nervous that I won't actually be prepared for the right things 😭

Community I am nauseous just looking at this thing

What a horror show. Beginning in 2027, they will rip up half of Middlesex Drive and we will all have to suffer the inconvenience of them building this cheap, ugly, gigantic Starbucks for the next 4 years. By the way, if they say 4 years expect 5 or 6.

God only knows where they'll reroute those busses too.

I'm not saying NatSci was a great building, but why does its replacement have to be this? It is so out of place with the beautiful collegiate gothic architecture that makes so much of central campus appealing.

No heritage; no distinctiveness; just cold, unfeeling corporate glass. This is worse than brutalism.

Eventually, campus will just be UC surrounded by these buildings which are all home to ever-expanding byzantine subdepartments of Ivey. There is no sustainability in any of this.

❔ Question❔ are all first year courses midterms “no risk”?

0 Upvotes

i’m in med sci and all my science and math courses have “no risk” midterms meaning that if you do better on the final, the midterm weight will transfer to the final.
i just bombed my first midterm for my elective, which is a humanities course so i’m just wondering if this applies to all first year courses or only science/math ones.

Advice Mental health resources on campus

7 Upvotes

To those who have used the mental help sessions in Thames hall how did you find it?? I’ve considered getting therapy or even getting diagnosed for the past couple years and ever since coming to Western it’s gotten really bad. I know in order to get therapy/a psychiatrist you need your family doctor to write a note at times (?), but last time I tried things didn’t go too well and I’m too embarrassed and uncomfortable to go to them lol. I’m just tired of feeling like this everyday and ruining my life, so I’m hoping if anyone who has gone in the past could maybe share a bit about what it was like for them 🙂🙂🙂

Advice Insanely behind in bio (first year)

I really regret procrastinating. I’m having trouble with cycle three and haven’t even finished the content of cycle 4 or 5. I have three midterms this weekend so I can’t dedicate all my time to bio. I’ll study what I can but I genuinely don’t think I’ll do good. Any advice for how to study or if I’m absolutely cooked, how to move forward after these midterms. I feel like an idiot 😭

Transferring to Ivey Business School as an international student

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m currently an international student studying at a university in the US (ranked around 500th in the QS World University Rankings). I have been worrying about whether I should transfer to another university(outside of US), given the ongoing government backlash and uncertainty surrounding work visas — such as the recent news that fees for international student internships, the CTP work visa and OPT could amount to around 75000 usd.

As I would like to find employment in that country after graduation, I am currently looking into transferring to a university in Canada, where a post-graduation work visa is available for up to three years. I am currently studying for a degree in Fine Arts (majoring in film) with a minor in Information Systems, and I have completed two internships as a growth marketer. Consequently, I would like to pursue a career in data-driven marketing in the future. It would be ideal to work for a content-focused company or a tech firm. Therefore, if I transfer to Ivey, I intend to change my programme of study.

However, I do have some concerns.
I’ve heard that the job market in Canada is also in a very poor state. Given that my English isn’t perfect and I have no local experience in Canada, will I really be a competitive candidate there?

If my value as a graduate is similar whether I graduate from Ivey or from my current university, then — as I have many friends here and find it easier to settle in and get on with life — I think it would be better for me to continue studying at my current university… The university I’m currently attending has a branch campus in my home country, so I’m a little worried that in five to ten years’ time, there will be so many people in my country holding degrees from American universities that graduating from this particular institution might lose some of its exclusivity here.

Thank you for reading long post! I’d welcome any thoughtful replies. Thank you in advance!!!
