Anyone else apply to university this year?
Peterborough is the coldest place I've ever been to. We have massive windchills where some nights in the winter it gets to about -40 celsius. You get used to it though and soon enough you'll be wearing shorts outside the first day that is able to break the freezing mark. lol
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

it depends on your major... what are you planning on studying?

if I could do it all over again I would pick a bigger school like U of T. I came to Trent because it was small, I knew Peterborough very well and liked the city, and they have one of the top psych programs in Canada. Now that I'm double majoring, thinking of Politics has my focus, I think I would have picked a school that offered more politics courses and had a large number of foreign students, or ethnic students. What I get is hippy white kids preaching about how the oil companies are evil, which is not what I want.

Sure, "they" treat you like a number. That happens almost anywhere.
Just pick a professor or two that you really like, and go up to them after a lecture and strike up a conversation, try to make a connection. They're not going to make an effort to get to know every one of the thousands of students at the school, you've got to do it yourself.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

For first and at least second year courses here the profs only lecture. They don't do any marking unless there is a problem with the marking the TA does. Some profs lead seminars but a lot of times it is grad students.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Sinead, almost anyone can get in to Trent. I think the admissions cut-off is something like 70%, but rumour is they may raise this to 75%. This is only cause Trent is trying to redefine itself and give itself a better public reputation to match its reputation in the scholarly world as being one of the top research schools in Canada (it was actually named top research school for 2 years in a row now)
