I'm exchanging uni for my third year to a canadian uni
I'm really getting stressed trying to choose my courses because I just cannot figure out the credit system
I need help, anyone from a Canadian uni? How many course do I actually have to take...in general. I know its a bit more confusing that I'm not saying which uni. But generally, anything I should know?

Haha I know that sounds as confusing as I'm feeling right now. I think I just need words of assurance
And canadian people, expect a barrage of threads from me in the coming months about winter clothes and weather.

I'm never going to be able to fill in this bloody form.

where are you thinking of going? i find the canadian system really confusing cos they dont rank them in the same way as in the uk, so it's hard to know where is good. I really wanted to do some postgrad at york in toronto but it was way too expensive.

It's a new year, I'm glad to be here. It's a fresh spring, so lets sing.
In 2080 I'll surely be dead. So don't look ahead, never look ahead.

Canadian's are generally nice people and our education system isn't terribly fucked up. Do you have any idea of where you want to go (province/territory wise)? I can't help you too much with credits and shit like that but I've been through most of the provinces in different seasons.

I could talk to my university counsellor at my school tomorrow. I don't know nearly enough to be of any help as it is.

haha zion if I thought canadians were monsters I wouldn't go...hence choosing canada over america
I'm heading out to Ontario, I don't really want to outright say where on here, I feel kittyradio already has too much info about me.

But yeah my main problem is my home uni demand 200 credits to be done abroad but all I can find are credits rated as 2.0 and 1.0 ect ect
I think I'm gonna have to find somebody to ask, I hate emailing officialish people!

I'm not as stressed as I was finding out that I have over a month to figure myself out.

Well, a credit usually is equivilant to about that long of instruction a week or, if you're doing sciences, two or three hours of lab work. Past that I've got no idea. I hope you find someone of a bit more help.

I go to a Canadian uni. This is how it works where I am: each course per semester is worth 0.5 credits (there is occasionally a course worth 1.0 credits, but its usually a course that is 2 semesters long). The average course load per semester is 2.5 credits (in other words, 5 courses per semester). For some reason every school doesn't use the same credit system (the 0.5 and 1.0, that is).

That probably made things more confusing :S

i think your best bet is to look into the actual school you wanna go to then contact them to get the full details.

where in canada do you plan on living?
