Here are 10 things every Dalhousie University student asks themselves!<\/p>\n<h2>1. Do I REALLY\u00a0need a degree?<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s not just Dal students who ask this. Probably anyone who is contemplating spending $80,000 on a piece of paper that is supposed to help you get a job is wondering the same thing.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">2. Do I HAVE\u00a0to go to my 8:30 class?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">I asked myself this every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in my first semester last year. The answer is YES, because if you don&#8217;t then you&#8217;ll probably fail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h4 class=\"p1\">3. If I get out of bed at 8:25 will I make it to my 8:30 class?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">One of my friends did this and it seemed to work for her. If you live on campus in residence, then you&#8217;ve got a pretty good chance to make it, especially if you&#8217;re the type of person to go to class in your PJs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h4 class=\"p1\">4.\u00a0Why does everyone have to drive to school?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have a car, you probably ask yourself this at 7:55am because somehow that is even too late to find a decent parking spot on campus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h4 class=\"p1\">5. Will I still pass the class if I don&#8217;t take the final?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ever heard of that website called RogerHub?\u00a0It will actually tell you if you&#8217;ll pass or not. You&#8217;re welcome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h6 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h6>\n<h6 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h6>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">6.\u00a0When is Pierogi night in the Res meal hall?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Pierogi night is the BEST!! I&#8217;ve only seen them in Howe, but I&#8217;m sure Shirreff and Risley probably have them too. Obviously they&#8217;re not as good as home-made pierogis, but they do satisfy your cravings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h4 class=\"p1\">7. How the hell do I navigate through the tunnels?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The first time I went in the tunnels, I was walking from the LSC to Killam &#8211; the whole stretch. I got lost somewhere between the Chem building and Killam basement because the signs can be a little confusing and hidden sometimes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h4 class=\"p1\">8. Can the tabletops on the desk\u00a0in Macmechan be any smaller?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Seriously though, how does ANYONE write on a desk the size of their thigh?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h4 class=\"p1\">9. What exactly IS that statue on University Ave??<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Everyone tells us that it&#8217;s called &#8220;Marine Venus&#8221; and it can be very awkward to walk past if you&#8217;re with your parents on a tour. They ask &#8220;WHAT IS THAT&#8221; and you just laugh because it looks like a penis. To answer your question, Marine Venus was supposed to be mounted in a reflecting pool, but due to cost, it didn&#8217;t happen. In short, yes, it looks weird, but in its defense, it never really got its time to shine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h4 class=\"p1\">10. Why is tuition so high?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">And FINALLY, THE BIG QUESTION. Why is tuition so expensive? Most of us are fresh out of high school and some haven&#8217;t even had a job yet. Some rely on their parents and some rely on government assistance. Why is this OK??? Why do I have to start my adult life with thousands of dollars of debt that I won&#8217;t be able to pay back for many years???<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<h5 class=\"p1\">Do you have any other questions you commonly ask yourself as a Dalhousie University student!?
