anyone want to go in my place?

Hello! I am currently enrolled in CHEM 250 for the fall term and have it MWF 8:30-9:20AM. I was hoping to change my lecture as I need that slot for a different course! so if any of you guys are willing to swap classes with me, either the MWF class after that one or the TT class, please let me know! thank you!!

Hi! I registered to take Linguistics 110 this fall, and the instructor still isn't displayed on PAWS. Does anyone know who is teaching this course or how I could go about finding that info?

I’ve been admitted to the University of Saskatchewan for the Fall term, and my classes start on September 1. I’ll be able to get the keys to my residence on August 31, but my flight will arrive in Saskatoon at around 1:00 AM on August 28.
Since this is my first time travelling internationally as a student, I’m trying to figure out the best and most affordable option for accommodation for the nights of August 28, 29 and 30.
Would you recommend: Booking an Airbnb, Staying at a hotel, Looking for a hostel or other budget accommodation, Is there any other option I might be missing?
I’m mainly trying to keep the cost as low as possible, especially since I’ll only need accommodation for 3 nights. I’ll also have luggage with me, so convenience and safety are important.
I’d really appreciate any suggestions from current or former USask students, especially if you’ve been in a similar situation.

Is it a bad idea to start your first year in the winter? Any opinions?

I’m curious where everyone else in the USask CS/Applied Computing internship program is landing salary-wise. If you’re comfortable sharing, what’s your role, internship length , company, and annual salary or hourly rate? (Or even just the industry if you’d rather not name the company.)

Not trying to compare in a toxic way 😅, I’m just curious what the market looks like for USask interns this year and thought it’d be helpful to have a thread where people can share their experiences. I’ve heard everything from the low $20s/hr to around $34/hr depending on the company, but I’d love to hear some actual data points.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice from people who have gone through a breakup while in university.

My boyfriend and I were together for almost four years, and we recently broke up. Its my first heartbreak😭. It's been consuming me. I love him so much, and right now it feels like I've lost all motivation to do anything besides go to work. School feels impossible to focus on, and I'm worried about how I'm going to get through the semester while dealing with all of this.

At the same time, I really want to use this pain as motivation to build my future and become the best version of myself. As hard as this is, I'm trying to channel everything into my education and my goals. Part of me still hopes that maybe our paths will cross again one day.

If you've been through something similar, how did you manage? How did you stay on top of classes when your heart was somewhere else? Any advice or things that helped you get through would really mean a lot.

Thank you.

If you guys tell me to forget him, how? I will never forget him. He is my life🥲

I was offered "special (mature) admissions" recently. I was accepted after giving them the required documents and/or letter. My academic profile now says "probationary admission." I tried looking for information about the probationary admissions. Does anyone have any links or know where I can look for for more information about it?

Anyone else just do the online midterm and every answer was the first option? Had me so confused and gaslighting myself into picking other options just because I couldn’t believe that every answer was the first option. I’m so disappointed. How is it even fair to have 25 answers be the first option every time?

Is there anyone taking this class this term who’s been able to receive accommodations? I emailed the prof (Bataineh) late last week about my time and a half and he told me he hadn’t received the AES list yet. But like, we’ve already had a quiz and the midterm is tomorrow. I don’t want to keep bothering him if he hasn’t received the list but I also don’t really know what to do!!

has anyone taken CHEP 350??? how easy and/or difficult was it? it seems kind of interesting but I don't wanna take anything that is gonna tank my average lol

I'm a transfer student from a college. For the PharmD admission average, does the 40% cumulative average include all my college courses, or only the courses that received transfer credit at USask plus the courses I completed at USask? Because It says they would use all post secondary courses also at the same time it says at University level for cumulative average. Thanks!

**** Average is calculated using all post-secondary (college, university and technical schools) courses taken by the applicant including failures but excluding graduate-level courses.

average is based on the 60 credit units of required subjects [weighted as 60% of the admission average] and the cumulative average obtained on all courses at the university level [weighted as 40% of the admission average] ****

Hello friends!

I have experienced passive-aggressive abuse from a token professor in my department. When the department head learned about it, she asked me not to share my experience with her. Apparently, only the professor's version (who is also a friend of hers) was important.

Since then, I've been learning more about Faculty abuse towards students (all of them, European Canadians, Indigenous, and international). I don't understand why, if there are so many victims, we don't gather together to stop it? They aren't kings! And we don't have to endure it; they work for us, we pay their salaries.

What do you think?

EDIT:
A token employee is an individual from an underrepresented or marginalized group hired merely to give the superficial appearance of diversity. In this case, the person was hired for two main reasons: their partner and birthplace, regardless of their lack of academic contributions and qualifications.

Abuse (Oxford dictionary): 2.​ [uncountable, plural] unfair, cruel or violent treatment of somebody
3. [uncountable] rude and offensive remarks, usually made when somebody is very angry
In this particular case at USask, it stems from power imbalance, not only due to academic positions, but also color, culture, mother tongue, networking, social status, and all kinds of privilege (see the wheel of privilege)

This post is not meant for privileged students, faculty, or staff to jump to defend their privilege. This is a post directed to students who have suffered abuse. I know you are afraid to speak, I know most of you advise each other to remain silent. I know it's hard to connect and that many of you have 2 or 3 jobs, so no time for Reddit. So, I just want to let you know that these cases are not isolated; most of us have been there, and we just need to stand together.

u/lastSKPirate wrote this nonsense, Hitchens' razor: what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

Nice random principle that doesn't apply here! Why are you assuming we have no evidence? You live in a dream if you think that having evidence or being right guarantees an outcome in our favor.

EDIT 2: u/ulieallthetime said that abuse cases should be addressed on a case by case basis.

Abuse cases are already addressed on a case-by-case basis, and they don't work for the victims; this methodology only keeps victims isolated to defeat us.

I informed myself about this after the abuse I suffered in my department. People in charge let me know that they don't keep track of how many reports a faculty or staff member has because there are several instances for receiving our complaints.

Edit 3: I didn't come here to get my problem solved. I attempted to solve my problem months ago, and by navigating the system and reading my university books about Sociology and Organization Theory, I understood that the system protects the system. I literally came here to ask other victims why we don't gather together and make each other strong.

EDIT 4: to u/twobitdoc who says "Where (is the evidence)? You’ve said nothing concrete"

Because I never meant to come here to make my case with proofs and names, this is not a courtroom. If you read the original post, my inquiry was different.

EDIT 5: I understand that we, the marginalized ones, are afraid to speak up, but if we don't support each other, we can visualize our future occurring right now, down south.

I understand several voices here (people who are not afraid to speak up) seem to be people who support our oppressors, but the people who have too much time for Reddit and social media, oftentimes, are not the same as those who suffer oppression.

Don't let them gaslight you and make you believe that what we are going through is not happening only because they are not affected. We just need to find ways to gather together and stay strong with peer support outside the system.

Thank you for the time and space.

Over and out.

Im starting my first year this fall. Do I have to pay for both fall and winter tuition at the same time? Or is it a term by term thing? For extra context, I mainly rely on a student line of credit. It would benefit me if I could wait until next term before paying for the other half, since I get charged monthly interest payments.

Thanks.

Hey all, I know theres a few posts asking about laptop recommendations- but with how much technology seems to change year to year, I wanted to ask again!

My laptop is.. not great, and im looking for an upgrade for next year.

Im in animal bioscience, so no need for anything super specific. I honestly just want a solid laptop somewhere in the range of 15"-16" display, with a decent battery life, capable of handling schoolwork as well as a few games (nothing big or particularly demanding). I'd get just about anything other than a MacBook!

If anyone has any recommendations for school, I'd love to hear them!

Help.
I have been graduated since 2023, took a gap year, and started school sept 2024.
I get ZERO support from my parents but they make over the limit.
Genuinely the only way for me to go to school is loans. I am working around 70 hours a week and it goes straight to bills.

I am technically not an independent as per the student loans guidelines. I got a small loan my first year and had to take out a line of credit. Last year they said nope, you get nothing! So I had to take out another line of credit.
Because I was not given a loan last year, I am already in repayment along with having to pay my line of credit.

I am drowning in bills. Is there any way to bypass the dependant student thing?

I have lived on my own for three years now. This is BS

I'm going into my third year, and hoping to bump up my grades during this year to a 77-80%, is it possible to apply for double honors during the end of my third year? I am already taking the classes and the amount of classes needed for a double honors so....lol lowk if it isnt possible im kinda cooked icl.

Super random but if anyone is planning to drop chem 250 in the fall plz dm me, really need the class

Do you have to buy a ticket for 2 and unders? Just curious for when I convocate next spring

so i’m actually kinda dumb and because of the way i planned my schedules, i have to take at least one english next summer. i would also like a good mark though 😭 i know it’s a year away but im kind of freaking myself out, so i’d love to hear experiences from others who took it!

First year undergrad student, I’m just wondering what laptop I should buy that would be best for a BMSC student.

What software is there in labs that Is most compatible with the laptop I should get?

Is there a minimum age that someone can be and take a course at USask? I was talking with some friends of mine and it was brought up so, anyone know?

How long before you receive your admission decision after your college recommended it? This is for Graduate studies. Thank you.
