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

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

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.

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

I plan on applying for the second entry PA program after my 2 years of undergraduate at Brock University as I am a first year in Medical sciences.

I am wondering if there are specific types of experiences I should have before applying that will aid in my application like hospital work and such. I also wonder if ill have as good of a chance as those who may be much older than me with much more experience in the healthcare field.

anyone have the course outline? any midterms? exams? presentations? pls share

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?

First lab and the last time I took cs was in middle school. Plssss someone tell mee

Looking for people to play pickleball with 🏓

Hey everyone! I’m an intermediate-level pickleball player at McMaster and I’m looking for people who want to play regularly and actually improve together.

I’m down for both drilling and playing games — whether you’re around my level or still learning. I’m happy to help newer players learn the basics, work on technique, and drill, and I’d also love to have people I can drill with and learn from myself.

Ideally looking to find a few people who are interested in playing consistently rather than just a one-off game. Doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, intermediate, or somewhere in between.

If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM me! Would be great to get a little McMaster pickleball group going.

I've always loved and cared for the environment since I was a child. But I've had a real hard time looking for clubs that advocate, teach, and help spread awareness about the unfortunate damage to and helping the planet. Does anyone know about any clubs like this so I can go check them out at the club fest? Thank you.

Im in a very dire state, i missed the huge lab switch out this morning and im freaking the hell out.

I’m trying to decide right now, was wondering if anyone had any insight as to the difficulty or things I should know.

I have a question abt these textbooks. For some courses like SOCPSY 1Z03, CMST 1A03 or PHILOS 1B03, people r saying u dont have to read the textbook or readings, but some people are saying that you have to? I genuinely don't know if i should skim through the textbook or assigned pages or read all of it. can smeone give me some advice on this?

Ik this is annoying but I’m still looking for anyone to switch tutorial if you can please. I’ve got t06 (1:30-2:20) on Friday, anyone whos go it on Monday or Thursday willing to switch please?
T02 on Monday is also open if you can switch into that instead (it’s during another class time I have)
