I wan to pursue a cs minor, but that would require both of my year 1 electives (csc148, csc165) to be breadth 5, which is not one of the missing 1 and 4 from rotman courses.

My girlfriend(f18) and I(m18) have been together for about 5 months. I have never met anyone like her and she truely is the best I could ever ask for. It was great at the beginning, and then I feel like I've disappointed her multiple times and couldn't live up to her expectations. I really am trying to change and improve myself now but I don't think there is enough time. She is already questioning why she even likes me, and I know a breakup is about to happen soon.

​

She really is the most perfect in every aspect and I love her so much, and I hate myself for not being good enough to make her stay. The thought that I just lost the most precious part of my life because of my incompetence just makes me want to disappear. If I became better sooner maybe she wouldn't slip away like this.

I got assigned to Woodsworth for my program, but I'll be living at Trinity.

What exactly will I do at Woodsworth? Where will I mostly spend my time in? What stuff goes through each college?

Just kind of confused on how this whole college thing works, has anyone else had this happen?

How is trinity? Will I be missing out on a lot? My college for rotman is woodsworth but res is at trinity so I'm wondering how this would work.

Is it possible to get into other colleges from the waitlist after getting selected from trinity?

Is it too late to apply to trinity one program? What will I be missing out on?

What did you guys do in your furst year summer? Or what would you guys recommend doing?

I heard some people took courses such as ECO, did yall only take that 1 course or had others too?

Do people generally go for interns in first year? If so, how did you go about landing it?

Or just take it easy in first year and go around and have fun?

We will be going to different universities which are 2 hours 30 mins away by car. This scares me a lot because we'd be missing out on the happy daily uni life together. This will sound really corny but I really love her and want to be with her forever. She's really the most perfect girl I've ever met. And I am absolutely terrified of losing her. I have to admit that I've become extremely attached to her, and she's the reason I have motivation to do anything. I'm also afraid that the regrets and "what if" thoughts would haunt me forever.

I want to drive to her every weekend but I'm worried it still wont be enough, or if uni makes us too busy for that. I know theres sayings like "If you cant make it through this then it just wasnt meant to be", but long distance really is very hard for both of us, and 4 years is a really long time.

Has anyone gone through this? I want to hear your stories, and I also have a few specific questions.

1. How long have you two been together before seperating for uni?

2. What was the hardest part of this?

3. What advice would you give?

4. How long apart were you, and how often did you meet up?

5. How likely is it to become insecure?

I am coming to rotman commerce this fall, and I'm planning on pursuing a CS minor.

For course selections in first year, I'll be taking CSC148 and CSC165/​CSC240. Does anyone know what the difference between CSC165/​ CSC240 is, and which one would be better to take? Also, I've heard that MAT137 fundamental for CS. If I take MAT137 instead of MAT133, would I be missing out on necessary knowledge for commerce?

Is/has anyone tried to go with the CS minor route before? What was your experience like and how did it go for you?

Also, how's the year workload in general? Would I have spare time to network/socialize(living off campus) and also to go back home during the weekends(2.5 hour drive)?

I just found out you had to apply to residence before March, so now I'm just on the waitist. Would it be hard to make friends/network if I'm living nearby off residence in an apartment?

So I just accepted my offer for rotman commerce. When I applied on ouac, I picked woodsworth, and on the offer page it said "You have been admitted to Studies in Rotman Commerce at the Faculty of Arts and Science with membership in Woodsworth College for Fall 2026."

but now I just found out you have to do a separate residence application by March? On starrez housing? Does anyone know what the chances are of getting in residence past this deadline?

I'm a Grade 12 student who's starting university in a few months, and I honestly don't think I'm mentally prepared for it.

One of my biggest issues is that I get lonely very easily. Even something as simple as being home alone in complete silence can make me anxious and sometimes panic. I've always struggled with feeling isolated.

Right now I have two university offers. One is objectively the better program, but it would require me to live alone in a condo off campus. The other isn't as strong academically, but I'd be living in residence with a friend, which honestly sounds a lot safer for my mental health.

Another thing that's been weighing on me is that my girlfriend and I won't be attending the same university. She's probably the most important person in my life. Before I met her, I was in a really bad place mentally. She gave me something to look forward to every day, helped me stay motivated, and even helped raise my average by around 7%.

The problem is that I think I've become emotionally dependent on her. My entire life started to revolve around her.

I'm terrified that if the distance becomes too much, or if we eventually break up, I'll fall into a severe depression, lose all motivation, and struggle to function academically. I know people say you shouldn't build your life around one person, but that's exactly what I've done, and now don't know what to do.

How can I bring myself together? Has anyone else gone through something similar before starting university? How did you learn to become more independent emotionally?

I was always an engineering focused student, but I am now considering rotman. What skills would you need to excel? Do you need to be very outgoing and network a lot? I'm sort of an awkward introvert. Also would you need to memorize a lot of things? I can do well in things like physics and chemistry, but I'm not sure about in business.

Im going into uni next year and choosing between CS and mechatronics engineering. The point of this post is not to see what the job market/employability is, but rather to gauge my interest in this field.

What sort of work do you guys do? What would I do outside of uni curriculum? I heard a lot about building personal projects, but what does that entail? Creating an app as a hobby for example? What are some career/job options and what sort of work do you do in said job? Whether you're a student or grad, whats your daily life looking like?

Im currently on queens waitlist for engineering, if lve accepted another queens offer to something like cs, would this benefit/harm my chances of getting off the waitlist in any way?

Im thinking like they could either see it as "oh this person likes our school! we should give offer" or something like "theyre coming to queens already, might as well give the offer to someone else for more money"

I'm contemplating between carleton mechatronics and queens computing, which of these programs would be easier to transfer into queens engineering (specifically mechatronics)?
