Hey everyone, I'm hugh

Just starting at Concordia in 2 weesk and I'm ready to put myself out there, but I have no clue how clubs/groups actually work here. Do I need to sign up first? Can I just walk into a meeting? Is it too late to join?

I want to meet new people and find my crowd, but I'm a bit lost on where to start. Any advice on what to join, or how to get involved without being awkward about it?

I'm open to anything – sports, arts, gaming, whatever. Just want to have a good time here.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Alumni here - I’m decluttering and would like to give away some items (kitchen , apartment items etc.) that students could use.

Does anyone know of a specific group (on Facebook, for example) where I could post items to give away?

Thanks in advance

Why does everyone says its hard. I don’t understand but I think if it’s memorization of tax laws, why would are people struggling?

So I’m currently registered in a section of comm 320 that I originally enrolled in because it worked with my schedule, but my schedule changed and another section would work much better for me. I’m currently waitlisted for that section, but I was told I won’t be able to enroll if a spot opens because I’m still registered in my current section.

The issue is that I can’t drop my current section without also dropping comm 401 because it’s a co-requisite, and if I drop that class/section, I won’t be able to get back in because there’s already a waitlist. I emailed them asking if they can manually deregister me from my current section while keeping me enrolled in the co-requisite. Do you guys think they’ll do this? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Hi everyone,
I’m applying to Concordia’s thesis-based Master of Computer Science (MCompSc) for Fall 2027 as an international student. My main interests are AI, machine learning, and NLP.
My biggest difficulty right now is finding a professor who would be willing to supervise and fund/sponsor my research. I’ve contacted several professors whose research aligns with my background, but unfortunately I haven’t received any responses so far.
Since funding is very important for me to be able to pursue the degree, I’m not sure what the best next step is.
For current/former Concordia graduate students:
How did you find a professor willing to supervise and fund you?
Is funding normally discussed directly with the professor?
Is it common not to receive replies from professors?
Is there a better way to approach potential supervisors than cold emailing?
Is there someone at Concordia I should contact about finding a funded supervisor?
Can you receive an admission offer first and secure a funded supervisor afterward?
I’d especially appreciate hearing from international students who went through this process or anyone doing a thesis in AI/ML/NLP at Concordia.
Any advice or experience would really help. Thank you!

How do we succeed? I have no background in physics btw

Hey! New student here. I registered for both the upcoming fall and winter semester, and I've been given the total amount to pay for the semesters combined. There's no option to pay for a certain semester, just a prompt to input the amount I want to pay. Should I just whip out my calculator and add up all my charges due September 1st and pay that amount?

Would really appreciate feedback from anyone who has taken any of these courses with these professors:

**Aero 290 — Hangxu**
**Engr 243 — Beherooz Usifzaadey**
**Engr 361 — Marius Paraschivoiu**
**Mech 351 — George Defo**
**Engr 371 - Esmaeil Ghorbani**

particularly interested in knowing about the following:

1. How difficult is the course?

2. What is the workload like?

3. How are the assignments, midterms, and final exams?

4. Is the grading reasonable?

5. Is attendance/participation important?

6. Would you recommend taking the course with this professor?

7. How is the professor’s teaching style ?

Even brief comments about your experience would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

Well I missed my defer exam thinking it was today, when in fact it was on Sunday. It was already deferred due to a leg injury but now I have no clue if I can get a second deferral. I also had other finals which I went for so idk if they will accept a second deferral. I also have no proof that I’m sick or what’s so ever so idk!!

Hi! I know theres orientation and frosh to mingle but I wanted to know if theres possibly some other way to meet people before those events? maybe a groupchat or smth of the sort?

I just bsd my way thru it

Forgot my water bottle in H523 on Thursday, and security didn't have it in their lost and found. To whoever took it, COUNT YOUR DAYS; may your exam period end poorly, and I hope you get calf cramps in the middle of the night.

With love,

-Upset and bottleless Concordia student.

Hi guys,

Just had a bit of an unlucky accident and will have to use crutches/ wheelchair for some weeks into the semester. I tried to dig a bit on what options were offered to me as certain of my classes are in buildings with no ramp or elevator.
This plus the lack of metro accessibility made me fully realize there is a big issue that not many of university directors are taking seriously.

I wonder what are your stories related to this , how well (or badly ) have both professors and staff been accommodating and if we could maybe make a petition to at least bring it up so buildings like LS can become more accessible

(Ik montreal has an issue on itself with accessibility but I still feel is quiet unacceptable to pay so much in fees and have a chunk of campus out of access)

how did you guys find it lol

What’s the latest a final exam can go?

Hi so I retook two classes this summer I passed one with an 80 and failed Econ 203 for the second time how will it affect my gpa since I already took the class my other class made my gpa go
Up 5 points so will it make it go back down 5 points

For the mandatory 1st year course, Psychology of Education, is it normal they haven’t announced the days and times for the online class? Is it asynchronous? If not, how do we make sure it fits with the rest of our schedule?
