I'm going into 1L and it asks for Star Rez login to even access the portal which I don't have and my NetID login that I use for the MyQueen'sU portal is leading to an error message.
Hello 👋,
I am going to be starting in Queens in September. I chose Queens strictly looking at rankings, job prospects, and general culture but I guess the University has a reputation of having rich white kids. So I want to ask what the political atmosphere is like for someone who is a leftist or holds left leaning ideas. Ive heard the university attracts a lot of business and commerce majors so I am assuming most people will be pro capitalist conservatives. Not that I can’t get along with conservatives i just wanted to know what the political climate is like. How politically active is the campus?
Need to learn personal space
Honestly SOLUS has been painful to use for as long as I can remember. Slow, clunky, and somehow it takes 8 clicks to view the course timings. So I built Qflow to fix that.
Here's what it does:
Currently in alpha testing, if you'd like access please shoot me a message!
Hello! I’m a grade 12 currently committed to Queen’s for a planned major is Biology and Psychology. I know that the requirements include BIOL102/103 and PSYC100, and I also wanted to minor in life science so I’d need CHEM112.
Would anyone recommend taking PSYC100 online during first year? I’ve noticed that I personally tend to work better when taking online classes, and especially for one that is required for my major, I want to maximize my chances of getting in (even if it’s just for a psych major, as I want to study cognitive neuroscience). I think it would also help to lighten up my course load, although I understand that the class is content-heavy.
Any help will be much appreciate!
First things to note is that I decided on business but Idw wanna limt myself to js IB/ PE id love to also be able to break into tech or other fields ( product management?)
P.S maybe even pursue a dual degree at queens or go to CFM.
Cons
- far away from family
- expensive
- might not be welcoming for POC
- doesn’t hv a startup culture
Pros
- close to home
- co op
- has access to startups
- driven students ( would make me work harder)
- could switch to CFM or FARM, if I don’t enjoy AFM
Cons
- not that good for IB/PE
- I hate accounting
- is not as prestigious as queens
- Waterloo is known for STEM not business , so even landing a top US job like ( GS) is much harder
Ik I sound all over the place but I’d want to go into a program where i don’t limt myself , but actually open a bunch of doors for myself .
I am considering queens for teachers college in the next cycle. How is queens for teacher's college students or even master students/older students. My campus for undergrad was in my hometown and has terrible student life and i commuted so looking for something different. I know the trend is people from the gta go away for uni and then try to go to uoft for their masters so im doing the opposite if i go to queens, Next cycle of teachers college starts in may and is 1 year? I know people who loved queens for undergrad but idk about the student experience if i go there at 25. Are there a lot of grad programs or will i usually be surrounded by 17-22 year olds? I know my cohort would be people roughly my age, but just in general on campus and around campus--would i pretty much be surrounded by 17-22 year olds? Idk how much of this school is grad students.
Idk what to do now... slp or ot seem interesting and something id like, but i'd need an extra semester or two to be be even kinda competitive and my undergrad got extended by 2 years cuz of health issues so idk whether i want a 7th year. and teacher's college is 1 year now and not super competitive. I'm not interested in psychology grad programs or research. this was just a stepping stone for something else. i need ideas
Hello people!!! I love my Another 13 fragrance but sadly I have never wore it to school. My lecture halls are usually packed and i would hate to annoy other people with my scent. But...its just smells so so good for me and it saddens me that i could only smell it on the weekends.
I usually spray 2 sprays on the back of my neck. Would 1 spray be subtle enough? Do you wear fragrance? What receptions did you get? Thanks sm!!
Interested in teachers college, would be 25 when i start. Curious how older students like queens cuz iv'e only heard of undergrad experiences
What’s the difference between an honours degree and a general degree?
I got a Queen's Comp Sci offer back in December, but I just received an offer for Queen's Commerce a few days ago. Because my original Queen's acceptance came before the April 15 cutoff, does my residence guarantee carry over to my profile? Or do I lose the guarantee because the Commerce offer specifically came out in May?
Is anyone else getting a little tired of the biweekly “I’m considering Queen’s, but I heard it’s racist” posts?
I understand why people ask. If you’re moving across the country and spending a lot of money to attend university, it makes sense to want to know whether you’ll feel comfortable there.
But at a certain point, these posts start to be pretty repetitive and disconnected from what Queen’s is actually like today.
Queen’s, like any large university, is not immune to racism. That said the idea that it’s some uniquely hostile environment for non-white students is simply inaccurate.
The university is very diverse, especially in programs like Health Sciences, Commerce, and Engineering. In some of these programs, nonwhite students make up the majority of the class. Walk into most lecture halls and you will see students from a wide range of backgrounds. No, Kingston isn’t Brampton or Surrey or Richmond, but neither Queen’s nor Kingston is the overwhelmingly white institution that some people still seem to imagine.
The university also spends a significant amount of time and money on DEI initiatives. Whatever your views on that, it is hard to argue that these issues are being ignored.
More importantly, people don’t regularly get hate crimed on arrival for being black/brown/Asian. Thousands of non white students attend Queen’s every year and have positive academic and social experiences.
I think it’s completely reasonable to ask about campus culture and whether you will feel welcome. But the repeated implication that Queen’s is unusually racist compared with other Canadian universities is simply false
I don't think other schools use the term "general", and from what I’ve seen their 3 year and 4 year non-honours degrees use the term “major”. but if they do then my reasoning doesn't work. But if they don't, then employers could potentially not know what it means (since they're obviously not going to know every single piece of terminology from one university out of hundreds) and thus assume that it's the same as a major, right?
hi guys, i got waitlisted for kin and life sci at queens. what are my chances of getting off it? also, for residence : do i have the option to pay the deposit for residence? would i have high chances of getting a spot? if i don’t get accepted, would i get my deposit back?
thanks!!!!!
Hi, did anyone catch the change in tuition fees for PhD students (particularly internationals)? This seems particularly excessive (almost 100% increase). From CAD$8,203 to CAD$15,416? Is this really how Queen's increases tuition every year? https://www.queensu.ca/registrar/tuition-fees/graduate
hey I’m looking at residence for next year and I like Vic because of the single user washrooms, but I’ve heard it can be hard to sleep or study? can someone confirm pls
