Just stay away from the bridge in the winter, and you'll be fine.

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'm used to ALWAYS being able to wear shorts.

Also..


-40?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

JESUIT CRUSTACEAN.

The school better be good.

But but
MCGILL!

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

it was on my list...then i just removed it, lol

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.

That's what you'd get at McGill, too.

I was at a smaller university before, not I'm at a large one. Switching to a more medium one. I like bigger though, I don't know why.

My buddy goes to UfT and he's all like "they treat you like a number." But w/e he's a first year student, that's expected.

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.

^:nod: But they respect you more for making the effort, and remember your effort and face when it comes grade time.

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.

here the seminars are all run by TA's and the marking is generally divided between the TAs and the prof.

hm yeah i hate thinking about unis but i slowly have to
and i dont have the slightest fucking clue about where to go.
funfunfun

This saddens me.

i feel your pain sarah
i really do

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)

Even I got into Trent and I never went to school and I filled out my application with pencil crayons and they weren't even sharp!
