Hey health scis! I’m just wondering how difficult this course load would be and how difficult a 10.5 - 12 GPA would be. Is there any gpa killer courses other than the obvious bio and chem and how can I stay on top of things. If anyone can give some detailed advice it would be really appreciated and what differences can I expect from high school?

Okay this is probably gonna be one of the stupider questions asked on here but I'm getting ready to move into my dorm room this Saturday and I'm bringing along a TV to stream shows... Will I need to subscribe to my own streaming services, or can I still login to my families account?

This is genuinely one of the stupidest things I've had to ask, but I'm getting conflicting answers.

My overall gpa is above 7.0 but I just got a email saying that I was denied even through on the website it states that those who have an 7.0 or above will be granted an interview. For reference my gpa is 7.7, I’m studying at the Milton campus.

I have an EC303 exam tomorrow that I deferred due to medical reasons. Issue is I’ve been experiencing panic attacks since yesterday and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to give the exam tomorrow. Does anyone have any experience deferring an already deferred exam? And did it go through or what?

Please help out, exams in 12 hours and I don’t know what to do.

I'm taking st259 with Makarov first semester. I haven't taken ma104 but have taken ma103, ma121, and ma122 instead. I found ma103 alright, I got an A. Am I cooked for taking this before ma104?

Also any tips/suggestions would be great!

since I keep seeing incoming first years post about it:

my credentials are clinical anxiety diagnosed 6 years ago so you can trust me cuz I am truly the weakest link and still made it

even if you think it will be bad, even if the first several weeks or first months are bad, just stick it out and keep trying. try to join clubs oriented around your interest. don’t worry about keeping in contact with every single person you meet in your first weeks, you probably are not meant to be with most of them.
Stick through the difficulty, I guarantee you will find people it just takes time. I cried a lot the first few months.

clubs are a great place, try to put yourself in places where people will have similar interests/upbringings so you have something to relate to them with. Similar hometowns or shared hobbies obviously are good kickoff points. clubs are a great way, any event where you repeatedly see similar people are great. I loved fylp.

remember that friendships take time to build and it’s almost always a bit awkward at first. keep pushing yourself, and also, don’t be hard on yourself when you can’t. be patient with yourself and you’ll be ok. you won’t get along with everyone, and you don’t need to; you will find your people.

First yeat undergrad for Psyc , and one of the program requirements is MA100, i couldnt find it in the Brantford campus when registering for class so I chose MA102 because on the WLU website it showed that for those at the Brantford campus, we’d have to take MA102 virtually as our only option.

I just wanted to confirm is anyone else expierenced this and im on the right path🙂

Hey! I wasn’t able to write the MA100 final for the Spring 2026 term because I got really sick that morning, so I’ll be writing the deferred exam.
For anyone who wrote the MA100 final this Spring 2026, how was it overall? Was it similar in difficulty/style to the practice final that was posted? I remember the actual midterm being pretty similar to the practice midterm, so I’m wondering if the final was like that too.
Also, if you took MA100 in a previous term and have any advice for the final, I’d really appreciate it! Were there certain topics or types of questions that were especially important to know? Anything you recommend focusing on while studying for the deferred exam?
Thank you!! 😭

Is there a participation marks for BU252? Cuz of my schedule I might have to join different lectures from the one that I am enrolled in, and I was just curious if its like 1st year BU courses where you can just go to different class and doesn't matter

I have been selected for Icebreaker volunteer this year. My concern is I can only be on campus until 5 pm every day for the orientation week. Actually I have to be with my dad who is a last stage cancer patient and lately his health has started deteriorating. Can I leave early everyday or shall I withdraw my name from the list ? I was not aware that I had to commit for 12-13 hours a day or else I would’ve not applied. Please advise! TIA.

My osap hasn’t come in on time which leaves me screwed for the first bill.

If I make small payments towards my invoice will my account still get put on hold? I know about the late fee charge but I’m willing to pay it as long as I don’t get kicked out of my classes.

I’m starting my first year at Laurier and I’m honestly pretty extremely shy/introverted, so I’m kind of nervous
about making friends.

I keep hearing people say “just go to frosh, orientation, Homecoming, clubs, etc.” and I definitely want to try those things, but I’m wondering… what do you actually do when you’re there?. Like, do you literally just walk up to a random person and start talking to them? How do you turn that into actually becoming friends?

I’m also wondering if it’s normal to try making friends online beforehand. If anyone else is also starting first year and looking for people to talk to/hang out with, feel free to DM me on Reddit! I’d be down to meet some new people and hopefully make some friends.

Basically, if you’re also awkward/shy and don’t really know what you’re doing, you’re definitely not alone 😂

Is there any way I can find off campus housing other than the links/websites they give us to narrow down our choices? Seems like there are so many more student housing places. Maybe a discord if there is one? I just wanna stay for a couple of months to a year because of how my schedule works. Thank you!

So my osap money for the 1st payment shows estimated release date as either sept 8-10 which 10th is the invoice due date should I be concerned what should I do hope that its released on the 8th and if not what to do?

sorry if this is a dumb question but does osap automatically pay the invoice or does osap have to send the money to me and then i pay it to laurier through loris? ive heard its automatic (and that laurier confirms pretty late so ill have to deal with the late fee or whatever) but just incase

I’m currently enrolled in CH250 with James Gerlach in the fall but I’m seeing mixed reviews on rate my prof. Geoff Horsman is teaching CH250 in the winter so I want to get people’s opinion on both and which you would recommend. I’m going into my 3rd year of health science!

I am starting in fall and I have not bought textbooks using the textbook search. Should i wait until classes start?

I’ve found myself compulsively writing Ken Jackson fan fiction in my free time. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue after taking EC140?

Do I have to attend the first day of BU111 lab, or is it okay to miss it, becuase I want to attend an event that's happening around the same time. What even happens in the first few weeks of labs anyway?

I'm considering the social work program at Laurier. Anyone who's in the program or was in the past, is there a lot of group work? I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks in advance!

I recently learned there is a pilot payment program and the due date is tomorrow at 11:59pm. This actually really helps me, so I wanted to apply. However, I followed the instructions on the wlu website and I'm not seeing the button to apply. I sent an email to [collections@wlu.ca](mailto:collections@wlu.ca) but I fear with the busy time of year and so close to the deadline, that I will not hear back in time. I fit all the requirements. I am just wondering if anyone else out there has encountered this same barrier? It is a pilot program so I expect technological bugs might be the case here. Is it just me?

Thanks!
