My recommenders are faculty members at an Indian pharmacy college. The issue is that our institution does not provide official domain emails to staff – everyone uses personal Gmail accounts for all official communication. This is just how it works at most Indian colleges.

For those who have gone through Canadian university admissions – did your professors submit LORs from Gmail addresses? Did any university flag it or ask for verification? Would love to hear from Indian applicants especially.

The letters will be on official college letterhead with signatures and stamps, just the email domain is Gmail.

Is there anyone good at the Basic Quantitative methods course? If anyone is currently taking it or has taken it successfully I will literally pay you to tutor me. I’m only taking it because it’s a requirement but I suck at Statistics and anything math related or adjacent. I just need a passing grade and there’s an exam next week so I desperately need help. I also need help figuring out how to get the software on my personal laptop. If someone can start this weekend you will be my hero!

I have heard several stories about neurodivergent students not being able to obtain a diagnosis from GPs or the psychiatrist from the university clinic, or accommodations other than extra exam time. The policy on extending deadlines for assignments is also very strict.

I’m not sure if different provinces have different regulations on getting a diagnosis on mental health conditions. In where I used to live, people could get a diagnosis for many common mental disorders or conditions from GPs with some assessments except ASD. Here at the university clinic, it was either letting me visit the psychiatrist for humiliation, or visit other psychiatrists but I will need to pay probably two grands out of my pocket. In my previous school, it was quite easy for students to request extensions for burnouts or other temporary mental difficulties without a medical note. I never needed that but I thought that’s common in universities.

In my previous school, it was also pretty common to have students with adhd, depression or some other non-aggressive mental health conditions without well-known stigmas related to social interactions. Many people were open to disclose their conditions, and other students were completely fine with them. However at uwindsor, I’ve only told some people about my least concerning condition, and most of them immediately started to treat me like I’m a crazy psychopath. It’s not like my behaviour has changed after telling them or something. I’ve only told people I was closer with or sometimes my group members because it’s difficult to explain why I would have difficulties in something without disclosing my conditions. When I first started school here, before I mentioned anything about my mental health, I also noticed others acted hostile towards me and thinking I was seeking attention when I started to have a chronic non-contagious health condition. Yes it could be scary if I show my symptom in front of people, but the only time it actually showed at school was when I was in a corner of leddy without anyone nearby, and I made it myself to the nurse without anyone.

I don’t know if anyone else has experienced something similar here. I have met 2 or 3 nice acquaintances at uwindsor from other faculties so far, so I don’t want to think badly about this school.

Hey guys,
I recently got accepted to the nursing program at Windsor! Im currently between Windsor and fanshawe but I also got waitlisted at western and am really hoping I get accepted there. I’m just curious at to how much the deposit is and what day I need to pay by. Thanks for your help! (If you have any more information about the different programs I’ve listed please please share!)

The first year insta page announced that tickets were live yesterday and they’re selling out fast but I kinda wanna go to meet new people and make new friends. The tickets are also expensive so I wanna know if it’s really worth paying almost $40.

Is it still possible for me to get an offer at this point? I applied for mechanical Engineering with an 80 average and haven’t heard back yet. I have other acceptances but Windsor was my first choice.

Does anyone know when fall 2026 registration opens for second years? Thanks in advance!

I gotten an alternative offer instead of nursing. My avg is around 84 so it’s slight below average, so I was wondering if anyone has insight for this degree since I’m curious! Thanks!

Thinking about organizing a speed dating event in Amherstburg and I’m curious how much interest there actually is.

The idea would be a relaxed, low-pressure night where people can meet face-to-face instead of endlessly scrolling dating apps wondering if “loves hiking” is a personality trait.

The event would likely cost around $50 per person, which would include entry plus one free drink.

Right now I’m mainly testing the waters, so if you’d potentially be interested, comment with:

• The age and gender of the people interested.

If there’s enough interest, I’ll move forward with finding a venue and organizing everything properly.

Singles only please, and keep the comments respectful. This is speed dating, not cage fighting with cocktails.

we made eye contact and everything i just kept walking. now i gotta avoid that part of campus for the rest of the semester cool cool cool. anyone else do this or am i just awkward

Got accepted for I/S chem + bio for fall 2026!

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting and Im curious to know the range of answers. Thanks
