teeezyyy

I'd love to join as well

Its nice to see some schools combining some in-person stuff with online stuff. At UAlberta, everything is 100% online, lectures are a given but the small group stuff too.

Looking at this makes me extra sad because I personally love every years backpack color except for ours

I regret deferring from last year

I’m actually devastated NOOOOOOO

I’m in the same boat. So much suspense

Likewise! I live in edmonton anyway so that makes it easy. Id love to get to know everyone

I think that theres going to be some things that are in-person, like group sessions and other small group things. We got an email the other day from UofA (current student) and I could be wrong but it sounded like programs in the FoMD were applying for exceptions to online learning. I think if I was in your shoes, I'd be leaning towards moving to YEG

In July when UofC starts, they reveal the color!

omg stop i dont need this kind of negative thought in my life hahahaha

Maybe I'm just eager but is anyone else still waiting to be accepted to the facebook group? I think I sent the request to join a week ago. I changed my primary email to my ualberta one as someone kindly suggested and I see the group members have gone up by 40, so Im just wondering. Just thought I'd let you guys know I got accepted to the group last night! I did what someone suggested which was to be part of the UAlberta group, make sure my primary email on FB was my ualberta one, and the next day they accepted my request

OMG I LOVE THE BURGUNDY! Fingers crossed for that (or purple)! Its so chic and won't look as dirty as the blue one. I strongly dislike the yellow and orange lol my eyes hurt looking at them

Yup!

Any second years here wanna give us hints? To get us excited.....

Parking is quite expensive, its about 110+/month, depending on the lot. Also, it can be difficult to get the lot of your choice because as soon as the system opens (in July I believe) its first come first serve. I personally drive because the commute for me is over 2 hours a day since I live quite north, but in general the LRT is super convenient and runs regularly! I would recommend LRTing. Also it feels a bit safer in the winter because the roads can get quite bad sometimes.

This was me last cycle! I got accepted off the waitlist for UofA 3 days after the initial acceptances came out. I took my name off the Calgary waitlist right away so I dont know whether I would've gotten accepted but your chances are probably a little higher

Agreed baby blue would be awesome! even deep purple is fine. I dont want any candy corn colors

WHO ARE YOU LOOOOOOL I CRIED HAHAHA

Ohhh that sounds like it would fix the problem! Thank you!!

Im having the same issue as you!

Omg burgundy would be so nice! Its such a chic color

This is my burning question!!

Yeah I really really hope youre right! I'd really like to start in person and see everyone and meet new people.

I dont know for sure!! But basically on this forum somewhere, - I saw people talking about rumours that McMaster (who start earlier in July) is probably going to start online. - UofC's dean (also starts in July) said in their blog that theyre doing everything in their power to start classes online in July. - UofA, where I'm currently doing a masters, said in an email that they are planning for Fall term already for all faculties and based on that email it really sounds like itll be online. - My friend who is in pharmacy at UofA told me that her faculty has said Fall sem wil

how will they distribute the backpack, considering as we may not be having an orientation? Idk about UBC but UofA (accepted to UofA med last year and deferred) seems like theyre likely going to start classes online in the fall.
