did anyone get accepted yet today..

i'm starting to lose all hope :D

Anyone know how i can get in contact with their local offices? Or any helpful staff members, I have been trying to no avail, very worried I might lose my package, I have spent around 5 years of my savings on it

Question for those in the Engineering program. I am an incoming student student September 2026 (common core) first year).

I have a good gaming laptop that can run all engineering programs, but it is very heavy and the battery only lasts a few hours.

I also have a decent laptop 36gb ram, 1TB SSD and its an i7. Battery lasts about 8 hours.

I am contemplating buying an ipad since I'm hearing most students use this for notes and pdf and downloading books.

Should I buy the ipad and bring my regular laptop and gaming laptop also?

I was thinking I would use the laptop and ipad for regular classes (math, physics) and only bring he gaming laptop when I have classes that require engineering software to be installed.

This means data over 3 devices. How does this work? Is everything stored in the Cloud and the difficulty is making sure everything is synced in a way to access all files from any device?

Example if I download a book in my ipad, will I be able to asset it from my laptop/s also?

Has anyone ever successfully graduated the bcom program in 3 years?

I can’t decide between Western health science, Waterloo health sciences, and Queens life-sci. Please help I want the highest GPA possible but western is so far away.

My family may move to Kingston. As first year student, should you live in campus or outside ? Would love feedback as in any case you only live for 8 months in campus

Queen’s is my top choice uni, but I heard that getting a high gpa in uwo health sci might be a bit easier.. Where should I go?

Got into Queen’s Computing, uOttawa CS co-op, Carleton CS co-op, Western CS, and York CS.

My goal is software engineering/AI, so internships and employability matter a lot, but I also care about campus life and overall experience.

For current Queen’s students:

• How good are internship opportunities actually?
• Is QUIP worth it?
• Is the program actually good?
• Would you still choose Queen’s over my other options?

Would appreciate honest opinions from current students/grads.

Hey everyone, I’m an incoming first year for Smith commerce, and I recently found out that I’ll most likely have to live off-campus for first year because my family and I can’t really afford the cost of res at this moment.

I’ve been feeling worried about missing out on the “Queen’s experience,” especially since I’ve heard that most first years live on campus and make a lot of their friends through residence. As a commerce student, I’ve also heard the program can feel pretty social/tight-knit, which makes me nervous about being left out.

I’d say I’m fairly extroverted and social, and I also won’t be living super far from campus, but I’m still worried that I’ll miss out on a lot socially or have a harder time making friends and connections.

For anyone who lived off-campus in first year at Queen’s, especially in commerce (or any program), how was your experience? Did you still feel involved socially? Was it harder to meet people, or did things work out fine after classes/clubs/events started? I’m planing on attending every event and clubs I can.

Any advice/input would help a lot!
Cheers

I'm checking my SOLUS portal and cannot find where to pay exactly. I looked at their websites and was just confused by what they were explaining. Would appreciate any steps to do this.

Hi! I am entering my second year this coming fall semester, and I am currently taking 3 summer courses. I know queen's definition for a regular semester is to have at least 4 courses per term, but I think med schools seems to define them a little bit different.

I have several questions regarding how summer course credits work:

- Do the courses I take this summer term count towards my first-year credit requirements? If so, does it mean I will still have to take 30 units in my second year?

- 2 of the 3 summer courses I am currently taking are core courses for second year. Would I have to take 2 other electives/2 third year core coures to replace these units?

- If I were to complete 4 full-time years (30 units every year, 5 courses per fall/winter term and no courses taken during summer), with the 3 summer courses I am currently taking, does it mean I will have 129 credits when I finish my degree?

- Is it possible to take 4 courses per fall/winter term, and then take 2 courses in the summer term, for it to still be considered as a full-time year?

Thank you in advance!

I got rejected from Ivey with a 95%, and I had okay Ec’s, I really want to go to western I like the school and the atmosphere there. I still haven’t gotten into Bmos (really weird). people who went to bmos and then applied to Ivey was it hard to get into Ivey? And what was your exc’s? If I don’t get into Bmos but into queens commerce I’m going to go there, but I don’t know if I should risk going into Bmos and then Ivey. I really like ivey case program, I don’t have that much info on queens. Please help!

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from people who may have dealt with a Queen’s academic integrity investigation before.

I recently received an NOI from an instructor related to an exam answer pattern that raised concerns. I’ve never been involved in anything like this before and I’m trying to handle it carefully and professionally.

Right now I’m deciding between:
- submitting a written response, or
- doing a meeting with the instructor.

For anyone who’s been through the process before:
- How serious are instructor-level investigations usually?
- Is it generally better to respond in writing if you express yourself more clearly that way?
- What kinds of responses/helpful context actually matter?
- What mistakes make situations worse?
- If there ended up being a finding, what kinds of sanctions are typical in practice?

Not trying to dodge accountability or “game” anything — I just genuinely want to understand how these situations usually play out and how to approach it maturely.

Thanks.
