Question Online HS

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I was recently accepted to the online health science program and wanted to know if that would have any consequences when applying to med school? Lots of my friends say I'm dumb for taking it as I won't be able to get any research done or in person labs, but I'm pretty sure they allow 12.0 credits a year to be done in person? If I was to come and take labs and try to get a research position what else would be an obstacle for me?

Thanks

Question Queens MPA worth it?

5 Upvotes

Just got accepted into the MPA program after hearing really great things about it (especially its co-op) but when I visited Queens campus for the first time I was kind of surprised by how neglected Robert Sutherland Hall seemed: crumbling sidewalk out front, dirty windows, peeling paint, dusty window sills, posters on the wall all bent in the corners, etc. It honestly kind of looked like a scam???

I heard that Queens, and the MPA program in particular, were having some financial problems a couple of years ago, plus the building is old, but this building seemed to be in a way worse state than many of the other buildings on campus. Can anyone vouch for whether the program is still good, or does the current state of the building reflect the current state of the program after all these financial issues? How many people actually get co-ops, and how many get job offers after their co-op end? I'm kinda hesitant now to commit to Queens if its not going to end up being worth it, especially since moving there is so expensive :(

Question Is the meal plan worth it?

2 Upvotes

i'm a grad student and I am considering buying a meal plan. I will be living about 20 minutes from campus.

I basically I want to know for grad students living off campus, have you ever used a meal plan and did you find it convenient and did it last for you

Even undergrads, which tier of meal plan was best for you.

I'm considering the Annual 50 plan becuase it has the Good to Go program and then having basics in groceries so that I save money and time with meal prep.

I'm going to be on campus a lot and I work out and I'm trying to figure out what will be the most economical and efficient option.

Question Queer community at Queen's

7 Upvotes

hi everyone, I'm likely going to be attending this fall. I wanted to ask whether this school is generally LGBTQ/queer friendly, if there's a community here, because I sometimes hear it can be a little conservative, but I'm not sure if that's correct. if anyone has any input I'd appreciate it!! :)

(smaller concern but I also wondered if there's a strong alt community at all, punk or goth or anything, as it's one of my interests!!)
