I'm thinking of taking EN 3590 6.0 (Children's Literature) at Glendon next summer... I was wondering if anyone here has taken the course? The booklist looks really awesome. Thanks in advance :)

Silly Question re: Bistro
Hello!
Is the Bistro still open and running? What time does it open/close at? Is it still downstairs?
This is hokey, i know, but my best friend who i met at Glendon 15 years ago and i worked there, and i'm thinking of surprising her with dinner there on Thursday night :)
Thanks!

For the lovely Hispanic Studies folks...
I was not in the first class of this section, and although I have received the syllabus, I was wondering if anyone had notes from the lecture handy. Also, I was hoping to know how the presentation topics will be assigned. Any help would be appreciated! My email is saltzine@hotmail.com. ¡Muchísimas gracias!

Hello all! I'm a grade 12 student in Mississauga trying to decide between Glendon and Ottawa U (I want the bilingual factor that both offer). Making the decision is proving to be very tough, so hopefully you guys can answer some questions for me?? =)
1) For those really hardcore Frenchies, how do you find the program? How does it work exactly - I heard you can't actually take courses IN French in first year. Do you find it difficult attending lectures and class in French and can you hand in papers in English?
2) Glendon is tiny, and when I went for a tour on a Saturday the campus was pretty much desertedddd. Do people in res usually stay on weekends? Is a social scene lacking or are there party people to be found? I like the idea of a small campus but don't want to be totally bored...
3) Do many people bother joining clubs and sports teams at the Keele campus? I know the shuttle is a half hour ride, so do lots of people take advantage of heading over there to meet more people and take advantage of more clubs/activities?
I hope that didn't come across wrong or anything, I just want to get a really good picture of what life's like at both schools before I have to choose. Thanks in advance, guys!

Hello all,
I'm applying to Glendon, and I was wondering, what is the Psychology program like? What kind of courses do you take in Psychology?
Also, does anyone here take creative writing, and if so, do you like it?
Thank you,
Melissa.

Alright,
so most of you have probably already heard the spiel about what's going on this wednesday, February 7th--it's the National Day of Action for the Reduction of Post-Secondary Tuition Fees.
For those of you who don't know, last year Pr. Dalton McGuinty removed the tuition fee freeze, and increased Ontario post-secondary prices by 4.5%, and plans to raise it another 4.5% each year for the subsequent 3 years. For graduate and professional students, he raised it 8%!
While Ontario does subsidize its education, for many students it isn't enough--by having higher tuition fees, Ontario graduates are coming out of their undergrads with an estimated $28,000 debt for a four year program. It comes at an even higher price for international students, who pay approximately $14,000 a year for tuition alone! 82% of the Ontario population support a tuition fee reduction, and agree that post-secondary education is no longer affordable. The government doesn't provide enough grants, and instead dishes out OSAP money, which you must pay off immediately after you graduate.
On February 7th students are taking action, and letting the Ontario government that it's tired of having some of the highest fees in the country--that students want more accessibility, better quality education, and an affordable degree.
If you're a Glendon student, we have two buses leaving at 11am from the school, which will take us down to Queen's Park. If you aren't a Glendon student, then meet us at U of T's King's Circle at 11:30am and we will march on Queen's Park.
York/Ryerson/University of Toronto have ALL been granted academic amnesty--meaning, you can miss your class and not be penalized, as approved by your senate board. So please, come out and let your voices be heard if you want to make education a more affordable and accessible to ALL students.

Anyone notice it's the road down to Proctor? Cool!
i love it when they use Glendon in commercials :)
On a totally different note - is the Bistro still up and running?

Tests
I was selling a textbook and I wanted to throw the answer sheets to tests for a class in with my notes. Is this allowed or will I get in trouble? The answer sheets were given to us by the professor and he said they were ours to keep.
YFS Health Care???
So I was checking my online account statements today, and I noticed that they charged about $165 labelled as YFS Health Care. I'm confused because I've always thought that Glendon was excluded from the yfs health plan. I'm assuming that it's new this year or something? What does this healthplan cover? Is there weblink which has all the info about it?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
