📌 STOP. POSTING. BO. THREADS.

169 Upvotes

Alright folks, enough is enough.

Every BO/hygiene post turns into:

race-baiting

weird stereotypes

drama for no reason

We’re not doing this anymore.

🚫 All BO/hygiene posts = removed

🚫 All race-baiting in the comments = removed

🚫 Repeat offenders = time-out

We get it. Sometimes people smell bad. It happens. But we can’t keep having the same posts about it over and over.

For that reason, these threads will be removed going forward.

Hey Bisons! Wishing all teens and students an amazing first day back at the University of Manitoba 🎉. Whether you’re on campus or just part of this community, we hope this year brings learning, growth, and positive experiences.

This change is about safety, respect, and fairness, and we want to make sure this space is helpful for everyone, not just students. Hate, harassment, or unsafe behaviour will not be tolerated.

  5. Canadian Law Applies – Threats, hate, fraud, or criminal activity = Permanent ban + possible reporting.
  6. Low-Effort Content – No meaningless posts/comments, vague titles, or “k.”
  7. Spam / Advertising – No spam, ads, or referral links. UM research surveys are allowed under the “Survey” flair.
  8. Discrimination – No racism, sexism, bigotry, or hate speech.
  9. Privacy and Safety – No personal information. Screenshots must censor identifiers.

How is course chem 2122 and biochemistry 2720 from the perspective of calculations.

Planning to take one in a fall 2027 along with physics 1020 and 2 other electives and other in winter with phy 1030 and 2 more electives.

Discussion & Advice FMLY1000 with Dr Mehta

5 Upvotes

Did anyone else struggle with the FMLY1000 midterm? I failed my midterm by one question. The midterm was supposed to be on Chapters 1-3 and I don’t remember nearly half of what was in the exam questions being in the exam. 😢 I’m a first year student, I’m doing fairly well in my 4 other courses. This exam was worth 25% of my overall grade. I’ll be talking to an academic advisor but is there still a chance of passing this course if I got an F?

Admissions Winter 2028 health science advanced entry admissions

1 Upvotes

i was wondering if anyone knew anything about advanced entry into bhsc for the winter term. I'm currently a first year and over the past few weeks decided that i wanted to switch to health science. it requires 6 hrs of humanities (of which i am taking 0 of currently for fall and winter), but i cant really fit those credits into my term next semester and i would probably have to take them over the summer instead (i was thinking of taking indigenous 1220 or 40 and phil 2740 since those are required for bhsc)

the website said it only intakes for winter on a space available basis only. does anyone know how likely there is to be space/get admitted for winter and how much more or less competitive it would be compared to the fall advanced entry?
