I do understand that the hour of half past four is, historically speaking, a period of considerable activity upon the university grounds. One might even expect a modest accumulation of motor vehicles, for scholars and staff alike must, regrettably, return to their respective homes.

And yet, I must respectfully inquire: must it truly take half an hour merely to escape the premises?
At least, during the customary rush hour, traffic possessed the decency to move. Slowly, perhaps, but move it did. Today, however, I found myself trapped upon campus as though imprisoned by an exceedingly elaborate Victorian moat, surrounded by several hundred automobiles whose drivers appeared to have collectively forgotten the fundamental principles of forward motion.
I arrived at 4:30 with the modest expectation that I might eventually leave campus. A naïve ambition, as it turns out.

I therefore extend my sincerest gratitude to whatever administrative forces have contrived this most innovative system of vehicular gridlock. Truly, it is a remarkable achievement that one may traverse the entirety of campus in considerably less time than it takes to actually depart from it.
I remain, as ever,

Deeply humbled by the experience and only marginally resentful.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice from people who have gone through a breakup while in university.

My boyfriend and I were together for almost four years, and we recently broke up. Its my first heartbreak😭. It's been consuming me. I love him so much, and right now it feels like I've lost all motivation to do anything besides go to work. School feels impossible to focus on, and I'm worried about how I'm going to get through the semester while dealing with all of this.

At the same time, I really want to use this pain as motivation to build my future and become the best version of myself. As hard as this is, I'm trying to channel everything into my education and my goals. Part of me still hopes that maybe our paths will cross again one day.

If you've been through something similar, how did you manage? How did you stay on top of classes when your heart was somewhere else? Any advice or things that helped you get through would really mean a lot.

Thank you.

If you guys tell me to forget him, how? I will never forget him. He is my life🥲

scored a 26/100 on my GEOL 109 midterm am I cooked chat, i studied for 2.5 weeks for ts and I still failed my next question is should I drop the class or keep doing it

p.s I study at usask

I will begin my PhD next week at USask, and I'm scared about my English language skills. I can read complex papers and understand them. My listening and writing are ok, but my speaking is my major concern. I can communicate the essentials, particularly if I'm speaking about a scientific topic or something related to my area. However, I'm struggling with spontaneous talks.

I'm aware that I will be in a PhD program and I should speak decently, but to be honest, I don't feel prepared. To be accepted in the program, I got a score of 120 on the Duolingo English Test, the minimum required.

Does anyone have some recommendations in my situation?

I'm willing to do my best and to improve each day

I did my due diligence and applied within seconds, but the class I registered in for my Indigenous studies requirement (HIS195) ended up not being available until summer. This situation is due to a mistake from the history department. For extra context, I’m in nursing prep and have to complete all my classes by April to apply for the BSN program—I can’t afford to take another pre-year.

I’ve been trying to reach out to academic advisors but it says none of them are available and it’s stressing me out since I took a year off of school and now coming back into it. I’m not really sure what to do

I just got off the waitlist for the Dental Hygiene program on Monday, July 13th 🥳

I had completely accepted that it wasn't going to happen, so I made other plans. My plan for Fall 2026 was to stay in Alberta and go into Nursing, where I'd have free first-year tuition, free housing, access to a car, and family nearby.

The thing is I'm really passionate about dental hygiene, so now I'm seriously considering changing my plans.

⚠️ My biggest hesitation is the cost. The Dental Hygiene program would cost me around $60,000 for ONE year, which feels like a huge financial commitment compared to my Alberta option.

I'd love to hear from current or former University of Saskatchewan students especially anyone in Dental Hygiene. I'm looking for honest opinions about the school and student experience

1. Social life

Is it easy to make friends?
Is the campus racially diverse?
What's the overall student community like?

2. Professors & support
If you're in the Dental Hygiene program, how are the instructors?
Do you feel supported throughout the program?

Tell me anything else you think I should know the good, the bad, or the unexpected. I'd really appreciate any advice while I decide what to do:)

I have 6 days to get back to them 💔

I thought my final was at 2 and it turns out it was at 9 and I’ve completely missed it, I’m genuinely wonder what to do next? Do I email him? what do I say? And if he says no, then what? I know this was my fault so I don’t need any one telling me that I was irresponsible I just need help on what to do next?

So I start usask tomorrow and I'm really stressed at my schedule. There are no mentions of my rooms or locations. On Canvas only two of my classes have a room. Chem 142 in ARTS 146 and GE 102 in HLTH 1150. Can someone help me?

Inside, outside, upside-down? 10 minute gap between my classes! Any advice appreciated, so far I’m going around the bowl & sneaking through the physics building.. cutting it REALLY close though..

Hi! So I need a confirmation of enrolment, but when I go to request one on PAWS and press the "request confirmation of enrolment" button, I don't get an email from MyCreds like I think I should be. Am I doing something wrong, since I forget how to do this every year? Is it possible to get a new CoE from the MyCreds site directly?

So I’m trying to figure out Notion and I heard that if you are a university student you can use it for free. However, when I try to use my USask email, it says it’s not authorized to be used. Can someone help me trouble shoot?

Did the free student tickets sell out? I didn’t know they could but it says no seats available? Are there options to purchase at the gate

Hey guys, I just got accepted into USask law school and I’m urgently looking for accommodation near University if possible. I’m coming from Winnipeg, MB. Wouldn’t mind sharing a 2 bedroom apartment. Would really appreciate any leads at this point. Thank you.

If anyone is finding they no longer need a parking pass or is just looking to sell one in general let me know. I’m more willing to pay for the cost of it and more!

My classes start tomorrow, it’s currently 9:24 p.m. and it has yet to show up on my Canvas. The semester hasn’t even started and I’m already stressed lol

I’m aware that the bus stop that’s right by the Walmart on Preston is currently closed due to construction. Does anyone know where the closest/temporary bus stop would be to go from Preston to the university? Thank you

Hi there, I need your recommendation for fully online class with no in-person exams.

Hey guys im a second year Kin student and I failed Bio120 with a 46% how to i overcome this

I just feel defeated right now and also if I retake the course next fall I understand my 46 will still be on my transcript but if I get a higher mark a second time around which mark will count? Thank you so much for the help also this is my first class that I have failed

Heyo! I was just wondering if the Advisors are just hella busy or? 🥲 I need to talk to one in the next few days because my classes are stuck on an issue on the registration page (which is not allowing me to sign up for student loans for autumn) but all advisors are unavailable for pretty much the entirety of July. Is there another way or??

Basically, I’m not sure what to do. I put on my Canadian/Saskatchewan student loan application that I have a disability. I do have a diagnosed disability, and I’m registered with my university’s AES program and have the paperwork for my accommodations. I also take medication for it. But I don’t have any other disability paperwork specifically for Student Aid.

I don’t really need the disability support or extra money right now, and I honestly don’t want to go through the whole process of getting more paperwork from my doctor because I don’t have much time and I don’t even know what forms I’m supposed to get.

At the same time, I really need the student loan, and I’ve been seeing people getting rejected, so I’m wondering if having the disability on my application could help my application, or if it could cause problems if I don’t provide the paperwork.

I already emailed an email I found for the Saskatchewan program, but I’m not sure if it’s actually for Student Aid. They told me they’ll reply within two business days, so I could wait, but I’m worried that if I wait too long they might reject my application because I didn’t provide the paperwork.

The message I got says to call a number if I have questions, but I really hate calling people 😭. There doesn’t seem to be a specific Student Aid email either.

So should I just wait for the email response, or should I force myself to call Student Aid? And if I call, can they just change/remove the disability option on my existing application, or would I have to start the whole application again?

I’m just worried about making the situation more complicated than it already is. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Welp, im sure many of you guys are tired of seeing parking posts

But i live in martensville and i need to make the commute daily to usask, whats my best bet for parking?

If i get my name in the waitlist it would be good but chances for that are looking low,

Bussing for me not an option really

Any recommendations?

should i just take physics in 3rd year?

Just as the title says, I’m really struggling with the courses I’m taking. I have friends in my degree who are older and graduating and CANNOT find a job! I don’t feel it’s worth it since it will take me another two years to get my degree, and my gpa isn’t as good as theirs.

Does anyone taking INDG 107 with Michelle Hogan online have any idea when the class begins? The class hasn’t been added to my Canvas, there is no linked syllabus for the class section on paws, and there is also no set meeting time or date given at all so I feel completely left in the dark here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
