Can anyone recommend a good 0.5 course?

I'm thinking of

Physics 1021 (conceptual physics for non-science students)
Music 1102 (listening to music... wtf lol)
Statistics 1023

I would think that it should depend on your major. Could any of them be useful for the future?

Wonder what is the cheapest way to set up a phone to call Toronto? freephoneline.ca + ATA device?
Appreciated.

Since you'll most likely have a laptop you could try setting up google voice or skype.

Take something useful, or something you're interested.

I took physics 2065b last term and that was pretty easy.. there wasn't too much content in the course but there wasn't much prep questions for the tests too

So I am a high school student going to university. I've applied to UWO and they sent me a letter congratulating me and everything for getting accepted. However, the cutoff average was 82% and I had a 83% for midterms and that was what was able to yield my acceptance.
Would I have to maintain my average to at least 82% to keep my acceptance?
I do not wish to call them because I have once heard a student calling up their university and asking whether they could skip their exams and everything since she has already got 'accepted' at the moment. But the university rejected her acceptance on the spot because they did not wish to have students with that type of morale.

For starters that story about the school rejecting her on the spot is bs. Secondly, you don't need to maintain an 82 to keep your acceptance, you'll need to maintain a decent average but a small drop off is insignificant. You will however need to keep an average if it is a requirement for an entrance scholarship, so keep that in mind if that was offered to you.

I am facing a serious problem:I did not pay for the $400 resident deposits because I thought I could live in my relative’s house, but I just learn that they had rent the room out. The deadline had passed a month ago, and I am unfamiliar with the environment, so I’m wondering what should I do right now?

Call the residence housing office and see if they can fit you in somewhere. They typically make the room arrangements in late july-early aug, so see if that works out. If not.. then check the off-campus housing site for room/apt rentals.. there should still be plenty of places to live at right now. Make sure you check the places out before signing the lease!

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you know any good social clubs at UWO that are good to join? I am in engineering and I think I speak for everyone in engineering when I say we don't have many girls in our department. SO I would appreciate it if someone can give me the name of a club with good girls ratio. I apologize if any girls feel unsecured after reading this post. I mean no harm, I come in peace, just want to make some friends
Thanks
