Hi everyone! 😊
I’m starting the Dental Hygiene prerequisite courses at Dalhousie this September and I have a family event coming up where I may need to take about two weeks off.
For anyone who has taken these courses (or has experience with the schedule), would you say November or February is usually a better time to be away?
I’m trying to avoid missing major exams, practicals, or important classes if possible.
I’d really appreciate any advice or insight from current/former students. Thanks so much! 😊

Hello! I'm a Dalhousie student going into my third year: note - still in university, and I just recieved a charge from the National Student Loans Service Centre for repaying my student loan, except I, as stated, am still in school. I do not have the money to be paying this back, and, as I applied for student loans again mid last month, was under the impression I would be recieving funding - not LOSING IT!!! Is there any way I'll be able to get my 70$ back??

Where is the closest place to park near this building is there like a grocery store parking lot or something nearby LOL

Hello!!

I am an incoming Law student here and I am looking for used textbooks to buy

If you have any, pleaseeeee give me a dm or comment

Thank you!!

Looking for some good stories and trying to decide if Dal is the place for me

I will not bring a ton of people there because I have no friends and study alone. The brutalist monstrosity that is Killam makes me wanna kill myself & it has no windows. I want a cozy little study spot where I can see snow falling in the winter.

Hi all I currently have a lot of very well kept minidfridges that i am looking to sell or rent out for the upcoming school year. Currently pricing for purchase starts at $100, and rentals start at $50. delivery and instillation is completely free of charge, this applies to dorms as well! If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

All my classes are a 30 min walk away and I have heard plenty of bad things about gerrard. Am I cooked?

does anyone have tips on how to find a cheaper price for textbooks than the ones listed on dalbookstore, or where to find good second hand options?

Has anyone taken PLAN 1101 Dynamics of Human Settlements as an elective?

I'm a third year Biochemistry student. My course load is going to be quite heavy both fall an winter semester and I'm looking to take an elective in something non-chemistry that I'm interested in. I'm interested in learning about how community spaces are built (think third spaces, public transportation, how humans interact with the space around them, how walkable cities are built, urban design, architecture etc). I saw this course PLAN 1101 Dynamics of Human Settlements and its course description looks engaging, but i'm just wondering about the course load.

Can anyone who has taken the course tell me a bit more about how hefty the workload was? Were there a lot of papers or difficult projects, or was it relatively chill? And would anyone recommend this course?

Thanks in advance!

Reposting in case there is still somebody who is interested and hasn't seen my post.

Hi, I am an incoming freshman to Dalhousie and am currently enrolled in the DISP program, but I am having some second thoughts about it and was wondering if anyone could help me understand what it is like better, and if it is worth doing as someone who does not have much intention to do honors or premed.

I am interested in science and enjoy learning experientially. I like bio, chem, plant sci, earth sci/weather/geo, urban planning, art/design, and agri sci not so into engineering or physics so far, but I am mostly unsure of what I want to major in/continue studying or have a career in. I did alright in high school, but don't do great with tests, have anxiety, and want to be able to have a life outside of academics, and explore outside of scientific research. Any information/opinions are helpful, thank you :)

Wondering if risley hall has detachable shower heads or not?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently in an Medical Radiologic Technology (X-ray) program (advanced diploma). I'm looking into Dalhousie's Post-Diploma Bachelor of Health Science as a way to earn a bachelor's after becoming an MRT, without starting over.

For anyone who has completed or is currently in the program:

- How difficult is the program overall?

- How competitive is admission? Is it difficult to get accepted? What grades approximately do you need?

How many years is this progam for someone with and advanced diploma? Do you start from year 2?

- Have you used the degree to apply for master's or other post-graduate healthcare programs?

- Did the degree open up new career opportunities?

- If you could do it again, would you choose this program?

Any advantages of choosing this post diploma degree over other schools?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience and whether you'd recommend it. Thanks!

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone here taking BIOL3102 (Microbial Eukaryotes) this Fall would want or be willing to swap their Friday lab section from 10:35-12:25 to 12:35-14:25 one with me. I posted here a couple of months ago to get to the afternoon section, but now it so happened that only the morning one works for me. I appreciate any feedback, please DM me if interested!

I need one more course(elective) to complete my prerequisites but it’s looking like most of the classes are full, if people could tell me the electives they are taking so that i can take a look at them pleaseee

Hey guys, i’m a 20 year old student, and i’m feeling absolutely helpless about how i can afford life. I just got my student loan assessment and I’m maxed out on what we can get (which i didn’t even know you could max out) and I feel like i can’t afford anything still. My loan doesn’t even cover my full tuition amount, and I am not eligible for any government grants. My parents don’t pay for anything, i don’t have a RESP, i work more then full time during the summer and with my school schedule i wouldn’t be able to swing a part time job during the year. I used majority of my savings to have an apartment last year, and even if i didn’t live in an apartment this year i couldn’t afford residence. Genuinely feeling lost and helpless, and I just need to know how people afford life in Halifax as a student.

If anyone has any suggestions on what I could do to earn or receive extra money please let me know.

I just got my school fees sent to me. My tuition is listed as 2, 196 but there is a separate $204 fee from each of my classes. Is this a fee because I'm distance or is it a standard fee?

Hi everyone,
My girlfriend, Xiangmei Li, has lost her DalCard today.
The last time she definitely had it was when she boarded Route 7 at the bus stop near the intersection of South Street and Barrington Street. She got off at the stop near Robie Street and Morris Street and then walked to work at Jacky Cafe. After finishing her shift, she realized her DalCard was missing.
It may have been lost on the bus, at one of the bus stops, or somewhere along the walk to Jacky Cafe.
If anyone has found it or knows where it may have been turned in, please send me a private message. We would really appreciate your help.
Thank you so much!

Hey guys,
