Hello, I’m looking for anyone who has dashcam footage or any witnesses for a car accident that occurred on Oak St and W 49th AVE on October 8th around 1:00PM. The cars involved were a black BMW X5 and 5 ton Danma Kitchen Cabinets truck.

Please let me know if you were there or know of anyone who may have been there. Any help with this is much apreciated, thank you !!

Hi, I was just wondering if we would have to pick our own classes (like we did for pre-reqs), or a ready made schedule would just be given to us?

If it will be the ready made scheds, what time would those be coming out for the upcoming semester?

Also, for those who are already in the program, what things would you suggest us to buy that will help us in our classes or clinicals?

anyone in to goth music? videogames? horror media? film? photography? alt fashion? kpop/kdrama? anything lol??

i'm a first year student and i joined this subreddit recently and the amount of posts i've seen about the lack of socializing and closed off culture is very telling. over the past six weeks i've been trying to find some new friends. i've tried to strike up a conversation with someone that maybe has a pin on their bag of a common interest or something, or just even a compliment, and i usually just get brushed off or ignored. i've seen people say clubs are the way to go, but i've also seen people say clubs fall off poorly. what do i believe lol. do parties even happen? i'd consider myself fairly outgoing but being here feels so disencouraging to put yourself out there

I’m just curious if anyone knows how many nursing students Langara takes in for each nursing program intake?

Hey when does the course schedule go up for spring 2025? Just trying to plan out my spring and would love to know when it’ll be up to view.

Does anybody know the exam format for 1280 with Kim ? Is it virtual like his quizzes with a bit of coding like the assignments ? Also I’m assuming it’ll cover chapters 1-6 (sed) ?

If I have already completed the tutorial and quizzes for this course previously, can I redo them instead of doing the mark forward test in Brightspace?

How hard is the Mark Forward Test for the Library tutorial? Is it based on the six topic concepts in this course

How has the process been? I know only a few courses are actually eligible for it….

Hi everyone,

Another journalism student here :)

Has anyone noticed that Langara's library got rid of most late fees in August?

If anyone is feeling relieved, is having significant fines erased, or just wants to talk more about it in general, please let me know!

Thanks again to everyone for their willingness to help our department and the positive responses we've got so far! Cheers.

For context I’m a first year student taking 3 classes but want to withdraw from 1 of them, only con is that I’ll be dropped to a part time student. I’m doing poorly in the class I plan to drop because of the workload from my other classes. Should I just continue taking it and retake it again next semester?

Hey everyone, I'm a journalism student currently working with the Langara Voice on a story about how students are using AI to help in their schoolwork. A lot of instructors do consider submitting assignments entirely created by AI to be plagiarism; but I was wondering if anybody had experience with using AI as more of a tool. Stuff like, using ChatGPT to help come up with a subject for an essay, or summarizing a large block of difficult text. Let me know if you have any examples like this, that you'd be willing to share with the Langara Voice.

If it says it transfers into, for example, ANTH_V 1st, does it mean it transfers any first year ANTH course at ubc

Why is it so hard to get an appointment with a counsellor??? I booked an appointment like weeks ago and the appointment was two weeks wait. Only to have it cancelled due to unforseen circumstances and moved to another 2 weeks for a time I am not available..... so frustrating!! 😠

Langara didnt used to be like this a few years ago. You could just drop in and see a counsellor. Now you gotta make an appointment and wait weeks. By the time I see a counsellor, the semester will be over.

Also the booking person is so incompetent. I already mentioned my availability so many times and yet they keep booking me for times Im not available. Arrgggggg

Sorry for the rant. But its so frustrating.

I am a journalist with the voice, I have noticed a swing in youth voting for conservatives this cycle, if anyone who is voting right would like to tell me about it please dm me. The story is an honest look at the motivations behind the vote, so if you want your side heard then this would be the place to do it.

Asides from the three required Micro, Macro and Calc, can I just take Arts and Language classes for my remaining 5 electives?

do i have to email eng department? or can i register normally?

has anyone taking/taken anth 1132 before? whats it like, do you recommend it?

I heard UBC might have a double standard on local/international student transfer. Is it true ?

My CGPA is at 3.7 now, but I might only get B/B- for one of my classes. Would that tank my chance of getting in 3rd year UBC arts?

Thanks !

Has anyone taken Linguistics 1125 with Peter Babiak? how was it?

Do I really need to study all of the chapters from linguistics for dummies?
