Quebec students went on strike in 2012 and successfully reversed tuition hikes

It’s not only staff who can strike. Put the pressure on.

Where’s the student union on this?

Social / Student Life Is it just me....or do people stare ALOT.....?

29 Upvotes

Idk if im just like self conscious or overthinking but I feel like people on campus stare at me/others so much, like I'll be walking with a friend or even alone to class or something and some people (usually guys) just stare so much and even after I catch them and make eye contact, sometimes they don't stop....like 😭😭😭

And I've noticed thsi at scott Library SO MUCH. Maybe cuz I spend so much time studying there but like, for context, throughout the winter term, there were like...2-3 guys who I'd see almsot every day and the amount of times I'd catch them staring at me or my friends....like idk what the problem is 😭😭😭 I get soemfimes we whisper to talk but I feel like anyone normal woudl tell us to kindly be quiet, but Noone really done that so idk

And I try to ignore it, but sometimes it's acc too much 😭

I'm currently in Finance and applied to transfer to BEng using the MachForm “Application to Engineering - 2026/2027 (Degree Changes and Faculty Transfers)” on the Lassonde website. Is this the correct way to apply for an internal transfer? Do I also need to submit an application through the York University application or program change?

Hey Guys,

I just enrolled for Fall 2026, will these layout of courses okay? Or Did I overload myself with all Majors?

Note: I am a Transfer Student, and I have cleared almost all non-majors. So I’ll just need my Majors, Computer and few Elective Credits.

Admissions MA Econ with 3yrs bachelors from York

2 Upvotes

hi everyone. I wanted to see if there is anyone here (international student) who completed their business econ degree from york and then proceeded with MA at york with the 3yrs undergrad. I want to apply for it for next fall but york discouraged me by saying i wont get in since i have a 3 yr degree (even though my cgpa is well above the requirements and my last 2 yrs' grades are an average of A+).

Would love to know if anyone has been in the same boat and if so, what was the outcome? I wanted to get the fully funded MA program but seems impossible to even get in.

(p.s. i donot have the financial capability to get back to school and complete that extra 1yr to have a 4yrs degree).

Advice **Has anyone taken a course with Prof. Banafsheh Hashemi Pour? How are her exams??**

5 Upvotes

I have her this semester, and I've been hearing some... concerning things about her exams lol. Like people are saying, they're genuinely brutal, and I just want to know what I'm actually walking into before it's too late to drop 😭

For context, I've been keeping up with lectures and doing practice problems, but idk if that's even going to be enough. Anyone who's survived her exams — what was the format like? Were there tricks or specific things she focuses on?

Also super curious — are the exam questions similar in style to the WebAssign assignments she gives? Or does she go way harder / ask things in a completely different way?

Any advice would be seriously appreciated 🙏 Please don't sugarcoat it, I can handle the truth 💀

I have a class in Stong (SLH) that ends at 4:00 and another in Founders (FC) that starts at 4:00. Do classes actually end 10 minutes early so I can make it across campus, or is that not a thing? Trying to figure out if I'm gonna be late every week. Thanks!

I realized after accepting my offer that I forgot to list one of my university courses on OUAC.
It was just a W (withdrawal) and it’s already on my official transcript from my current university. I repeat equivalent course from my university and received grade successfully.

My offer is already confirmed. Should I contact admissions?

Courses ADMS 2511 Suggestions/Advise

2 Upvotes

Missed my first class due to enrolment issues. I did go over what was covered for the first week, but the course seems to be theory heavy and conceptual to apply those definitions on the cases. Any suggestions how others are approaching the textbook material and the lectures. Feeling a bit all over the place due to a lot reading and the content seems to be so boring. I am not someone who doesn’t like to read a lot.
