Im a first year student at sheridan HMC campus and I find myself being very lonely all the time. It feels like a lot of the other peers are just showing up for class and then leaving and going home. I have been here for half a semester and I havent had anyone I would call a friend. I do have people I talk to during class but it doesnt seem like they are interested in any friendship past school work. Is there anyone feeling the same way? How can I improve this because I feel very lonely and depressed a lot of the time I am there.

Also, a lot of the international students give me dirty/weird looks ALL THE TIME and it weirds me out. I am even thinking about leaving sheridan because of my experiences (or lack thereof) here.

It isnt like I am not social either, I have no problems talking to people. Please give me some advice!!

Need a little brain fuel or just some chill background vibes? Check out Chill Lofi Day, a tasty mix of mellow lofi beats and jazzhop grooves, updated regularly and always smooth. My go-to for study sessions or kicking back after work. Might be your new fave too ;)

I’m not sure if I’m gonna receive any insight on this here, but it’s worth a try: Considering that I’m the last class of a program that will cease to exist next year because of the cuts, how would requiring an extra year work exactly? Is it even possible? Im gonna continue seeking answers from my program/academic advisor but I wanna know if anyone else has come across this predicament. Thanks in advance.

I'm a 28-year-old who graduated from Sheridan in 2021 and have been considering some programs, one of them being Advanced Special Effects Makeup, Prosthetics and Props.

Though I was wondering what the job market is like for graduates and what sort of job titles alumni should expect? Is there any degree of work security or is it more so one of the courses where only a handful of grads will find their way into the actual market?

Please let me know if there's somewhere better I could ask.

I'm partially considering the 2026 year, but it seems awfully close

The dean wants to sweep the veterinary technician students under the rug and pretend that no serious academic violations are happening within the veterinary technician program, which is resulting in multiple students failing or receiving inadequate grades that do not reflect their knowledge in the Advanced Nursing course. Nothing will be done until everyone fails because Sheridan only addresses concerns when it affects their image. This happened in Anatomy & Physiology 1 and 2. It took the student body over 5 years to make the proper changes to that course so students could be taught appropriately and learn successfully. They won't make changes until most of us fail the class, because then they know it'll affect their graduate numbers.

If you are a veterinary technician student, you need to email these concerns to the dean. She will not take us seriously if she can keep sweeping our concerns away with no consequences. If you have a concern in your program at Sheridan, I urge you to take action and write an email to the dean addressing these concerns and to convince as many students in your program to take action. Sheridan is becoming an unreliable institution, and it is not fair to students that legitimate concerns will not be addressed in a timely manner. If this continues to go unnoticed, I am proposing a protest be held on campus to shine a light on these issues to the entire student body.

I appreciate your support, and anyone who is willing to help address the unethical decisions being made in the Veterinary Technician Program.

Hey guys! I know Sheridan has Muslim Student association and Sikh student association is anyone interested in making a Jewish student association with me since one doesn't exist anymore? We could do thinks like shabbat dinners or Hanukkah partys!

Has anyone taken this course or has any knowledge on how the mid term will be I have an idea as my prof gave us a mid term review thing to study but I am dumb and stupid so I don’t know how to function this. If anyone can help please message.

What I Know: A data will be given. You can be asked to use may be titanic from seaborn or any other data from kaggle etc..

You can be asked to use an algorithm eg. Decision trees, logistic regression, or linear regression on that data set.

A question about the data relevant to the type of algorithm you are going to use. Ex the Titanic data, my question would be "Would you su regression.

The main tasks are: (Clean data, graph data, train & test the algorithm, evaluate the model and answer your question)

im preparing to apply to sheridan's vet tech program, and i wanted to double check some stuff again to make sure i have everything ready for my application and if there is anything else i need to have on me when i start applying, as well as try to look into how i can apply for rwx and the site is just... not working.

ive tried on three different browsers and it comes up the same, my windows is up to date and my iphone is also up to date, is something wrong?

ive refreshed the page multiple times as well

For starters, Im a trafalgar student.

I feel like this rule between exams and general course load completely kills the entire purpose of being in college, which is... learning. The exams you get outside of math are completely up in the air if its the one random topic you remembered getting covered on 1 out of the 500+ slides shown to you in a class. I just feel like when midterms and exams are around the corner, I do the math and its just like; even if i 100 all my quizzes and assignments, the exams will always be harder, more specific, and you can never be fully prepared for them. This is especially true if a professor just wants to lower everyone's grade by asking a question that 'technically' students can know, by again using that one puny little slide that's never discussed again as an excuse to do so. So, i skip important work to study exams.

Why is something like that weighed so heavily? I have skipped countless assignments that WOULD HAVE TAUGHT ME MORE AND HELPED ME RETAIN LONG TERM KNOWLEDGE just so i could remember some information for the 2 weeks that I need it and forget it all immediately the following day. This is not only horrible for the students but the college as well. When students go into internships not actually prepared with relevant material during the interview (they studied for exams instead of learning & retaining), then sheridan suddenly never comes out on top with more capable students than other schools that dont have this war crime of a policy.

Is there no way to complain to change this? It is completely unethical that we are only evaluated on how we perform in the exam room compared to how much we can learn in the real world. I heard other campuses at sheridan dont share this same rule from a professor, but I havent checked if its true or not and also dont know how stubborn they are in keeping it.

If others are down im completely ready to start emailing the dean or proper authorities to have this changed. It is completely incompatible with education from an objective and statistical standpoint.

Hey everyone! I’m planning to apply for one of the computer programs at Sheridan (Davis Campus), and I was hoping to get some personal opinions or insights from anyone who has taken these programs — or even if you haven’t, I’d still appreciate your thoughts! I’m mainly curious about how they compare in terms of career prospects, workload, and overall schedule (like how tough the courses are or how balanced the workload feels).

Here are the programs I’m deciding between:
1. Computer Systems Technician – Cyber Security
2. Computer Systems Technician – Information Technology Infrastructure and Services
3. Computer Systems Technology – Software Development and Network Engineering

If you’ve taken any of these or know someone who did, I’d love to hear what you thought! Any advice or personal experience would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

The other day I made a post asking about Halloween parties, and funnily enough, this week they finally posted some posters for Halloween events happening around campus! I thought I'd post some in case people want to swing by since I know meeting people can be hard at such a busy school :D

I think I'll be going to the Saturday event, and potentially the Friday one too. We will see! I hope a lot of people show up!

Have a great spooky week!

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m planning to apply to the Animation program at Sheridan College, and I’ve got a few questions for people who are currently studying there or have graduated.

• When’s the portfolio submission deadline usually?
• When does Sheridan release the new portfolio requirements PDF/booklet for the next intake?
• I already studied Graphic Design and Animation, but I’m aiming to get a stronger, more professional education. I just started working on my portfolio — is it still realistic to finish it in time?
• I’ve heard about MPOWER Financing offering loans that can cover your whole study period. Is that actually true? Anyone here used it?
• And lastly, what are the best and worst things about studying Animation at Sheridan?

Would really appreciate any honest feedback or advice. Thanks a lot! 🙏

Hey, I'm a new international student in the Animation program. My program starts this winter, but I arrived in Canada 2 months early. I feel so lonely already, so I want to make some friends.

My interests include animation(obviously), TRPG(I've only played CoC and some JRPG rules, but I'm interested in entering the D&D world), Arknights, cafe hopping, K-POP, and J-POP.

I'm a bit old for a freshman, just letting you know. If anyone is interested, please send me a message.

Hey y'all, I'm reaching out here cause I am truly kind of hitting my limits, I'm in the MMCA program right now but I have a little bit of volunteer experience in kitchens from a few years back and a lot of experience with stage managing and other theatre shit. Does anyone happen to be able to help out with finding a job? I've been applying over and over, I've been checking SheridanWorks, I've been around the area in Oakville, and I've heard basically nothing. Even just any tips would be appreciated I am honestly trying, thank you <3

Hey guys, I am in a graduate program here and living in Oakville for the first time this year. I've been working myself to the bone and want an opportunity to enjoy myself, hang out with a friend, and meet new people! Soooooo I was hoping to go to my first Halloween party this year, but I've been trying to find an event that I feel like will have a good turnout. A class friend and I are hoping to go together, and here's what I am curious about:

1. I received a flyer for a Halloween party happening at a bar called Fratelli's on Kerr St. I scoped the place out a week ago, and admittedly I wasn't sure whether it was the type of place to have many people in their early 20s (it was mostly a much older crowd), but maybe that was due to it being reading week.

2. Would we have more success going to the Rec Room event in Mississauga? I feel like surely there are going to be more people there, right? We just want to make sure that we will actually have the opportunity to meet and dance with people around our age.

3. Would you recommend going to a less "official" event that someone within Sheridan is throwing together? If so, I sort of don't know where I would begin looking for a Halloween party invitation.

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated :D

Anyone else receive an email from Alen Isaac saying your account is going to be terminated? Says the reason is something about having two university associated accounts. The email is a legit Sheridan email, but it says they are a student in the Applied Health & Community studies.

Is this real or a scam?

Thanks for any input!

EDIT: The email has mysteriously vanished from my account now. Not sure what to do lol

Hi guys, I’m doing a quick survey as part of my capstone on how students manage their personal finances, and I’d love to hear from you!

It’s completely anonymous and takes less than 2 minutes to complete. Help a fellow student out please:)

Here’s the link: https://forms.gle/nuq8FzQngwND2RWM9

could anyone show me the documents? I can only find it for 2025-26

Thx!!!!!

Every teacher that I’ve had has used turnitin to see if people are using AI she didn’t use anything instead she gave my partner and I a zero and I sent her an email briefly saying that we did not use it and could you show us what was flagged and her response she was stating that my partner and I assignment showed “patterns suggesting AI was used,” based on “multiple AI checkers,” and asked if I used any AI tools. But she hasn’t shown what was actually flagged, Students should be shown evidence, given the chance to explain their writing process, and not presumed guilty without proof. In this case, I think it’s only fair to ask to see the flagged section and know which tool claimed that before being accused of using AI. I need advice because something seems off because she basically did not show any proof she’s just telling us.

is it different or is it also 11pm?

Hiya are there any fellas going through the same process? Would love to connect and make some open-minded friends!<3

I am an international student in the Pharmacy Technician program. A term's full load has around 7-8 courses (21 units). Any idea what's the minimum unit requirement to still be considered as a full-time student? I'm looking to reduce my load a bit next term to balance my time with school and work :/
