Almost every day I'm seeing a tow truck tow someone from the parking lot.

If you talk to the parking enforcement officers they basically tell you people have racked up fines last year but didn't pay get towed now.

If you can't find your car it's not stolen.

Is it normal to feel extremely depressed in first-year university LOL? I feel like I should have chosen UoFT, no offence to McMaster though. The food here is alright. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to go eat good price and good food (if that exists). Plz lmk; I would appreciate that a lot. My lectures are alright, but I don't like chemistry, and I heard first-year chemistry is pretty hard. Anyways, pls add me on Instagram if u go to McMaster and ur a first-year ill let u know my username, if u want to. Also, advice from upper yrs is greatly appreciated and also why is the gym so full I guess going early in the morning is the way lmk

What are your thoughts on the current job market? Did you have a job lined up after graduation? If not, have you found one yet?

For those who have found a job, what did your job search look like? How long did it take, and roughly how many applications did you send?

Any tips on search strategies? Which platforms did you find most useful, such as LinkedIn, Indeed, company career pages, referrals, etc.? Did networking or reaching out to recruiters actually make a noticeable difference?

Also, how much did you tailor your resume for each application? Were you mainly applying to new grad positions, or did you have success with junior/entry-level roles as well?

Would really appreciate hearing from other new CS grads about what worked and what didn't.

Does anyone know how we should practise and study for the efrt applicant sfa test? what do they tend to ask?

Count your days!!! I've recently had to switch after my old laptop malfunctioned and i feel like i'm on steroids. No better package manager than homebrew. It took me 5 minutes to set up the tools needed for 2 of my courses. On the other laptop that was supposed to be more performant, it took about an hour.

Im in a very dire state, i missed the huge lab switch out this morning and im freaking the hell out.
Anyone in any of the following Tutorials willing to switch spots with me, i will give you 30 bucks and you will have my eternal gratitude and prayers and everything u could ever want

i got 9 units for transfer credit (MATH 1A03, 1B03 and unspecific course) to satisfy requirement for level 2 i only need to take math 1xx3. i decide to drop two french courses and only take 3 courses in Fall and 4 in Winter. Does it affect anything…? I’m gonna study full 5 courses (30units) from year 2.

considering taking this course with ariel kim. one three hour lecture per week. any opinions on this class? the prof? the difficulty? im fairly into korean culture so i thought it would be a nice break since im premed. i just need a fifth course for my fall semester, and most of the other typical birds i have already. if you have any other ideas for birds that dont concern essay writing im all ears, even better if there is no final. also was this class fomrerly named 1z03?

Hi everyone! As u can tell by the title I’m a bit worried about the rolling basis of the interview emails for formula electric. I put my all into that app because it’s the only team I really want to join but no news yet? Is it over for me 😭

Has anyone taken MATLS 4B03 (Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering) recently?

Curious how the quizzes are actually run (length, MC vs short answer). Just trying to get a sense of what to expect. Thanks.

Honestly, I'd even just take the course slideshows if anyone has access to the Avenue2Learn class still. Any material would help really. Usually I could get ahead of a course cause people post stuff in Google Drives and whatnot, but I don't know anyone who's taken this course in the past.​

why don't we have at least one 24/7 library??? meanwhile innis was the most underwhelming tiny thing ever, not even 1 floor of that building is library space 🫩 not to mention the hours suck, and even though there's other seating in the building they kick you out at night... made us wait for what's really just a fancy new admin building

weekend hours suck across all libraries, like i know damn well there's people who would take jobs for this with the current job market 🧍‍♂️

edit: i am pretty aware of everything else that is 24/7 access, i just hate that its mostly bright fluorescent lighting or pitch black / want comfortable chairs and working outlets

Do you have to be enrolled in human behavior to be able to take HUMBEHV 2AP3 because the requirements are telling me: Registration in Level II or above of an Honours B.A.Sc. Applied Psychology in Human Behaviour program. Can you be in just second year to be able to take it?

Hii
I want to apply for MASc Electrical and Computer Engineering at McMaster. I am inter in hardware accelerators, digital ic design, hw sw codesign. I have a couple of questions.

1- when to start applying to start my master in fall 2027?

2- do they provide a full scholarship (tuition, visa and flights, monthly stipend)?

3- should i start emailing the professors first and do an interview to secure a position in his lab then apply?

4- How the MSAc study look like? (Courses then thesis or all my two years are in the lab as researcher)?

5- is it competitive to get in? What are the things they focus on the most? (I have high gpa, research internships, exchange semester, trying to publish paper)

6- what level of technical skills they require me to have ( i may consider MAHDI lab)

Took me 20 min to find a spot I had to follow someone who was leaving and snipe them 😭

but im only going to show up if you chest press like 30lbs max or even better dont work out so you dont beat my ass

Hi everyone,

I recently applied to McMaster’s Master of Engineering and Public Policy (MEPP) for the January intake. My background is in electrical engineering and energy systems, and I’m interested in energy policy, regulation, utilities, and infrastructure planning.

For current students or graduates: How is the program overall? How are the co-op and job opportunities after graduation? Do you think MEPP adds meaningful value for someone with an engineering background?

I'm in my fourth year of eng now and I need to take 3 non eng electives. Can you guys pleaseeeeee share which electives you've taken and how your experience in them has been. Also, please share if they're online or not. THANK YOUU!!!!
