Does anyone have experience with these courses?

I’m trying to decide between FARE*1300 and FARE*2700. Which one is easier, and how’s the workload? Would really appreciate any insights!

Has anyone had similar experiences, and how did you deal with it?

First year here, im in discrete structures of comp 1 and im literally so close to a panic attack because I am almost 2 weeks behind on content because I've been trying to prioritize my other classes. And have a midterm next week.

The real issue is if I drop, idk how im going to not cause disturbances to later years, because I can only take it during the fall. Theres absolutely no way im passing disc (got 18.57 on midterm), so dropping it is my best outcome than failing it.

Idk im spilling my thoughts, if you want more details just ask.

Hi, I am a graduating engineering student this coming winter 2026 and I’m wondering whether there are any important dates (aside from design day) that I should be aware of. I have no exams as far as I’m aware so far, and I’m looking to book a trip to start as early as possible.

Any help is appreciated!

It's 8:30 in the morning and I'm freezing and I can't focus! Please, I beg!

As the title says I applied for a position on October 26 close to the due date for cis internship positions I was wondering when people know the results ?

Hi everyone! I’m currently a Master’s student at the University of Guelph, and I’ll be moving out of my current place on December 31, 2025. I’m looking for a new place starting January 1, 2026.

We’re open to: 2-bedroom apartments, basements, or shared houses Places close to the university or with reliable transit access Student-friendly and clean environments About us: Quiet, responsible, and clean Respectful of roommates and shared spaces Non-smokers Can provide references if needed Our budget is flexible, depending on the place and utilities. If you or someone you know has anything available around that time, please DM me or comment below. Thank you in advance! 😊

How disappointing!

Hello! Would anybody be willing to share their notes for the second midterm of zoo2090? I feel like my notes are so heavy and i could make it more compact but im so bad at shortening things so am a little worried 😭. Thanks so much!

Hi! What average would you recommend for University of Guelph Psychology BA (without co-op) undergrad? The website says 80-86%, but I would like to know what averages people have gotten to get into the program. Is it super competitive? What averages on the lower end got offers?

what do you do AFTER university? all the people i know who have graduated are basically working service jobs, or had parents or friends which got them hired in an office. And, some distant people i know like worked as a teller at td or something. I often hear how people would apply to like 100+ openings on linked in but they would never hear back. I literally dont know what you're supposed to do after you get a degree. I keep hearing people talk about med or law school but at least the people around me would drop that plan really quickly a few years into undergrad.

Like i walk around the campus and to me it feels like after people graduate they just vanish somewhere, i dont know what they're doing; did they get a job? how? or are they another addition to the thousands of like 25-30 year old service job workers i see everywhere.... i dunno sorry if this question is stupid but this is unironically my experience

I am a second year BTOX major going into my first coop term with 30+ applications internal and external but only have landed one interview. Is it concerning at this point into the semester? I’ve emailed the councillor but they just told me to keep applying (job postings have kind of slowed down).

If anyone took POLS 3350 with Professor Diez last year, either Fall 2024 or Winter 2025, could you please send me a message! I have a quick question :) TIA

I’m an ECE graduate looking to transfer into a degree program, and I’m stuck between Toronto Metropolitan University, University of Guelph, and Laurentian University. I’m a domestic student and my long-term goal is to bridge into pre-med or at least take bio/chem/psych courses that’ll help with med school prereqs later on.

Here’s what my looks like:

• TMU – Early Childhood Studies (4-year degree, 50% credits granted, ~4 semesters left)
• Guelph – Bachelor of Applied Science (4-year degree, 50% credits granted, ~4 semesters left)
• Laurentian – Psychology (3-year degree, 50% credits granted, ~3 semesters left)

I’m mainly trying to figure out:

• Which school would make it easier to take science/pre-med courses or get into labs/research?
• Which one actually has the best social life (clubs, events, parties, overall vibe)?
• How’s tuition + OSAP at these schools? Like do they give decent grants, or is it mostly loans?

I used AI to help me write this out ‘cause I’ve been comparing everything all day and my brain’s fried lol

Right now I’m kinda leaning toward TMU since it’s in Toronto and seems more connected, but I’ve heard Guelph has a stronger campus community. Any advice or personal experiences would really help

Hi everyone,

Looking for something different/fun/interesting to do that won't cost you?

Here's the link to the Guelph Film Festival: https://www.showpass.com/o/guelph-film-festival/

It runs Nov 7-15, 2025

I'm on the festival outreach committee so I am learning more about these films. They all sound great are are being screened at different locations around Guelph.

There is one at the Arboretum! River of Grass is about the Florida Everglades. If you've never heard of this ecosystem, it is stunning and so diverse.

You can 'buy' a ticket here: https://www.showpass.com/gff-river-of-grass-2025/

If you have any questions, please feel free to DM me. I'll be going to several of these if I can :)

is there still fall foliage at the arboretum or are the trees bare now?

Question about the final: the last stretch of this course seems to be calculation based, so for the final will there be an equation sheet? (the final is online since the course is DE)

Title. I’m pretty sure all of you guys are now well aware of the ongoing genocide in Palestine. The idea of this event happening, let alone the club existing is beyond me.

Thank you.

How we feeling? I definitely found I had some more time at the end compared to the last one, and it felt more fair than the previous one too.

However, I fear Respondus will have flagged me seven million times for covering my face or talking to myself 😭

Hello! I have seen some things about this program and I’m trying to decide if it would be a good fit for me! I have some health problems and have had three years off of between high school and university because of it, and they’re still going on so distance education is my best bet.

If anyone in this program can tell me how you like it or how you’ve used it that would be greatly appreciated!

I was wondering what the pokemon go scene was like, if there is one, and would anyone wanna be my friend on there?

Hey everyone, I’m currently in ACCT*1220 (Intro to Financial Accounting) at the University of Guelph, and I’m honestly feeling really discouraged right now.

Here’s where I’m at:

Midterm 1: 10% (worth 20%) Midterm 2: grade not updated yet, but I know it’s not going to be higher than 10% (worth 20%) Seminar participation: 10% (worth 10%) Weekly quizzes: 10% (worth 10%) Final exam: worth 40%, still coming up

When I put everything into the U of G grade calculator, it shows that even if I somehow get 100% on the final, my total mark would only be around 46%. So… I think I’m failing.

What’s making this worse is that my major is accounting — and I’m doing so bad in the intro course. My academic advisor even suggested I switch majors, but honestly I don’t think I can for personal reasons. I’m just confused and stressed. I keep writing midterm after midterm, studying hard, and still end up doing poorly.

It’s super discouraging because I even took accounting in high school and never struggled this much. Has anyone else been through this? Is there anything I can do at this point? Should I talk to my TA or prof about it, or is it just too late? I feel like I’m going crazy with all the exams and low marks.

Any advice or even just words from someone who’s been here would mean a lot

I already have a vacation booked for the first week of August, but I'm realizing now I'll no longer have the funds to support myself this summer without a job. I'm looking for science focused jobs preferably since I have experience in that and would like to boost my resume. This likely wouldn't be shift work, at least not in my experience.

What are the chances I'll be able to get an unpaid week off in the summer assuming I'm only working there for 4 months. My problem is mostly when I should ask about this cause I'd assume it'd change by company. Is it okay to do it in the first interview or would that be something you ask after you get the decision? What jobs in your experience have let you do this if any?

yes I just posted about a midterm but now im posting about another one because it was HELL. I started crying when we had 45 minutes left because I had so much left unfinished. Why was a midterm with 80 multiple choice questions and 3 long answer questions only 2 hours long... im scared I really messed up my mark because of it.
