Hi, I’m going to be coming in this September and I was just wondering if the new meal plan is worth buying. Would anyone be willing to share their thoughts and opinions on the new dining hall?

Thanks.

has anyone taken bioc 2010 with dr. ananvoranich? I hear the fail rate is very high and her exams will be all short answer.

anyone know how long it takes to generate under self service?

Hey folks. I'm a reporter with CBC Windsor. I'm working on a story about the July crunch for post-secondary students to find housing; especially with how expensive rent in Windsor is at the moment.

If you're a student who's moved into a sketchy place, currently facing a rent hike, OR is still looking for an apartment for September, I'd love to chat.

You can DM me here, or email me at justin.escoto@cbc.ca if you'd prefer.

Thanks!

I am entering my first year of Concurrent Math Education and had a few question.

1. Can people please give me some opinions on my fall courses and profs?

COMP1400 - Dr. Kalyani Selvarajah

ECON1100 - Dr. Steven Chen

FILM1100 - Dr. Tony Lau

MATH1250 - Dr. Animesh Sarker

MATH1720 - Dr. Abida Mansoora

2. I have two 10 min gaps in my schedule, and would like to know if its reasonable to get from these buildings within that time.

Lambton Tower to Toldo Health Education

Jackman Dramatic Centre to Toldo Health Education

3. Where do I go to buy textbooks and how will I know which textbooks to buy prior to classes?

Thank you for your time!

Where to park on or close to campus for free?

Hey ya’ll, I’ve just recieved an offer to the forensics and psychology program for september and am looking for opinions on off campus housing like where can i find legit rooms for rent (under 700 a month). are the facebook groups trustworthy? (I’ve found listings saying $550/month) is there anywhere else i can look for housing or roommates who i can then find housing with.

I’m from brampton so i can’t really just be going around to different showings, I’m starting year 3 of the program and I have no conncections there whatsoever.

If anyone is in the same boat or has gon theough it—I need your input 🫡

Hey all,

So I stopped in the staff lot for 5 minutes to grab my diploma quickly, it wasn’t packed whatsoever.

Come back & within that small time frame I was ticketed $50.

I already picked up my diploma & have graduated. Do I need to pay this fine?

If anyone gets an update please let me know

hi everyone, I'm a student in polisci and my course planner reccomended me to take phil 1600. the thing is, the only teacher available for the course is Letteri, and apparently he's not the best (from what i've seen on ratemyprof). he doesn't allow technology, which sucks because i use tech to write all my notes. I want to take the class because people have said it trains the skills you'll need to use for law school (which is where I want to go), but I'm worried I'll do bad because no one seems to like this teacher. should I wait to see if I can take phil 1600 in the winter semester if it's even offered? or should I just deal with it?

I’m starting my first year in Computer Science in Fall 2026, and I’ll be taking COMP 1000 and COMP 1400. I was wondering if there are any online courses or YouTube tutorials you’d recommend that could help me get a head start over the summer. I’d like to build some basic understanding so the semester feels a bit easier and I have an idea of what to expect.

Hello! I just recently got accepted to a masters program and I was wondering where the safest parts of town are? I don’t really have a budget for an apartment i’m just looking for a 1 bedroom 1 bath (laundry included). I am American living in the South East so I can’t just visit quickly. Any recommendation of apartments/neighborhoods would be much appreciated! Also, I have a car but would like to stay within like a 15/20 minute drive or less.

Any photography group that goes out for photo walks ? Or any hiking group that I can join? 😁

Im a grad student.

hey! i was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to still apply to the outstanding scholars program as someone who is an incoming student in fall '26? i missed the deadline and was wondering if it is still possible or you know anyone i can reach out to? thank u so much

Hey, I'm looking for advice on housing in Windsor as I'll be starting this fall. Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to visit the city before moving.

I've already applied for residence, but I'm worried I may not get a spot. I also looked into Canterbury College, but the waitlist is insanely very long.

Ideally, I'm looking for either:

• a bachelor/one-bedroom apartment, or
• a two-bedroom apartment with just one roommate.

I'd prefer to avoid larger shared houses.

From my research, I've heard that parts of downtown can be a bit rough. I also don't drive, so it's important that I'm either within walking distance of campus or on a reliable bus route. I wouldn't mind up to a 30-minute bus ride, as long as the route is frequent and dependable.

I'm definitely leaning toward apartment living rather than a townhouse, so if anyone has recommendations for specific apartment buildings or property management companies they've had good experiences with or are aware about, I'd really appreciate it! If anyone is also looking for a roommate, feel free to comment or send me a message.

When do parking passes go live for Fall session???

hii everyone! 😊

i’m going to the University of Windsor this fall and will be there for the next 5 years in Concurrent Education (Psychology)! i’m super excited and would love to make some friends before september.

feel free to dm me if you’d like to be friends! i’m always down to meet new people, make memories, and have fun. can’t wait to meet all of you! 💙
