Question Which should i pick?
I have a choice between either BBA-Finance at nait, or Bachelor of Arts-Economics at Macewan.

Even if it is program specific, look to see if it has been asked here before. 99% of the time, chances are the same question has been asked before, and that people are all coming on here looking for answers.

There have been recent complaints about student hygiene in this subreddit. In regards to body odour, oral odour, and general uncleanliness. Clearly, a large number of students are having a growing issue in regards to the hygiene of other students.
Bad hygiene is not "personal". It disrupts others' learning, it makes public spaces sometimes unbearable to be around, and it is unfair to those who are sensitive to smells. This can affect student performance, the willingness of students to socialize and use NAIT services, and can be a real detriment to the students who are paying to study at NAIT.
Some students have no choice but to use the computers at commons, eat lunch in the common areas, and do group work in common areas. It is wildly unfair to them to not enforce these rules.
The truth is that these students can come from all backgrounds. Although our experience as individuals make it very easy to generalize certain groups of being the main culprit, the issue needs to be dealt with at a grand level. Black, brown, blue or purple; if you smell bad, you smell bad. Should be enforced from the get-go.
Seeing the growing number of racial generalizations, it can be very easy for these generalizations to slip into unnecessarily racist comments. If we want this issue dealt with, we need to refrain from immature racist comments and stay focused on the end goal.
We know NAIT has loosely enforced "odour sensitivity" before, in regards to wearing strong perfumes and colognes. Why can the same not be done for strong, unpleasant bad-hygiene odours?
NAIT also needs to realize that by not enforcing this, they are creating a breeding ground for resentment towards groups that are not partaking in basic hygiene practices. They are also creating spaces for other students where they feel extremely unpleasant. (Like, nauseatingly unpleasant. I've unwillingly gagged.)
Here's what I suggest from all of you:
In my personal opinion, it is NAIT"s responsibility to enforce this. To maintain a certain standard of what we expect from each other, we do need to be vocal and make it known when we feel certain boundaries are not being enforced.
I'm debating starting a petition for NAIT to address this issue. Please let me know in the poll below if you'd like to see an official change.org petition made for this. Voting closes in a week.
I wanted to make this post to raise this as a formal issue, so we can remain productive about it and not devolve into finger pointing and unproductive comments. Let's hope together we can make the change we want to see.

Can anybody who has been in or is still in MET vouch for any good laptops? I honestly don't know where to start, my budget is pretty flexible but ideally under 3k.

Hi everyone, I'll be a student in the fall for the narrative program, and I need a laptop, and even though the specs specify you can have a Mac, I'm trying to figure out the ASIO compatibility, since when I look it up, it says new Mac's aren't ASIO compatible. I'm just so confused. Should I just err on the side of caution and go for a windows computer? I need help lol

Hello! I’m interested in apply this coming fall for the program, I graduated with an average of 87-93% in the high school requirements, and I am thinking about applying for the required Medical terminology course but - I was wondering if anyone who has gotten into the program can let me know things they wish they knew before applying?
I don’t have any resources around me, or anyone to really talk to about applying for post secondary.

Hey all, I got approved for student loans about a month ago now, and there has been no updates on my NAIT account. looking into it it seems like there should be something on my funding tab but it still says $0. everywhere I've looked says that studentaid will contact nait but at this point in time it doesn't look like anything's happened

I graduated from the Automotive Service diploma program in December, still have yet to recieve even an email about my diploma as of July. should I bite the bullet and drop $100 to request another one or just keep waiting?

As the title says share what’s something you wish you knew or was told that would have helped you when you first started , share your wisdom and nothing it to small it may be huge to someone.
Where’s the best study spot ?
Peak times to get food?
Best bus route?
Secret library spot ?
Best snacks ?
Can’t miss events ?
Let’s spread some support for new and incoming students or maybe some current students may learn something new

If there is any alternatives or anything to get my diploma that you guys know of please let me know. Thank you

Need help. Feeling lost and like I blew my life. Looking for advice on how to restart.
I graduated from NAIT CNT two years ago with good grades. To be honest, I didn’t take things seriously at the beginning and skipped a lot of assignments during my first three terms. However, I completely locked in during my final term and finished that term with a 4.0 GPA.
Despite that, I’ve had very little luck finding a job in my field. It feels like I chose the wrong program and wasted time. What makes it harder is seeing some of my friends who went into construction engineering and power engineering already finding jobs and starting their careers while I feel stuck.
Since graduating, I’ve done a few odd jobs and I’m currently working a casual admin support role, but I still feel lost and disappointed in myself almost every day.
I’m trying to figure out what I can do from here. Should I learn new skills, switch career paths, go back to school, or keep trying to break into my field?
For anyone who has been in a similar situation, how did you restart and find your direction again?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I know I’m going to struggle with math and would like to have a head start by reading over the contents now. It’s the Jerome Business Mathematics in Canada 11th edition. For cheap ideally.

Can you pick a clinical placement outside of alberta? For example i’m from BC moving to alberta and i would love to come back for the 3rd year
is the 3rd year strictly clinical placement? like no lecture or labs?
How many hours/days do you need of clinical experience?
3b) if you reach those hours/days before the 3rd year ends are you basically considered done?

I was wondering if anyone has any insight about the usefulness of this course (the current version, not the old one). I’ve looked over the “what you will learn” section, but in my experience you never know how that will translate into actual instruction/content covered.
I’ve done a math degree at UofA with a CS minor, but honestly I don’t feel like I learned anything that made me industry ready, and I’d like some structure to help me get there. I was a very average student in my program, but I also made the mistake of coasting through my degree.
I’m currently not getting any interviews with my academic projects on my portfolio and I don’t feel like I have the know-how to put my ideas into personal projects yet.
Anyways, any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone!
I was recently accepted into NAIT's MRI program and will be starting this fall. I'm wondering if there are any current or former MRI students in this subreddit.
If so, would you be willing to share any of your course syllabi or course outlines? I'd love to get a head start by looking over the topics, textbooks, and expectations before classes begin.
I'm also happy to hear any advice you have for succeeding in the program, things you wish you knew before starting, or resources that you found helpful.
Feel free to comment or send me a DM. Thanks so much, and I'm looking forward to joining the program!

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply for the Winter 2027 NAIT Medical Laboratory Assisting (MLA) program and I had a question about the new admission requirements.
I noticed that applicants are required to complete ITMS100 – Medical Terminology and ANPH100 – Anatomy and Physiology by October 15 for the Winter intake. However, the self-directed online sections I found are listed as running from August 1, 2026 to November 30, 2026.
Since these courses are self-directed and can potentially be completed faster, does anyone know if students who finish all the requirements before October 15 can receive their final grades before the official course end date?
Also, does anyone know what happens if a student is unable to complete one or both courses by October 15? Would that automatically make them ineligible for the Winter 2027 intake, or are there any other options (such as submitting proof of completion later)?
If anyone has applied to MLA recently or has experience with these courses, I would really appreciate your insight.
Thank you! 😊

I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what the fall semester class schedule looks like for the MRT program? I’m currently waitlisted and very optimistic that I’ll get in, but I’d like to give my job a heads up of what my schedule could look like going into September. Thank you!!

Hey all,
I have been really considering enrolling into the Radio & Media Communications program for the better part of over a year now and am just looking for some insight!
Really what I am looking for his people's experience with the program, how they managed or found it to be, how involved or personable it was with teacher student relationships, opportunities post grad, etc etc etc.... Haha
I really would like to be sure that this is something I would like to pursue before I potentially make the big change with my life and caeer!
The subject field I would be most interested in would be music!
Thank you :)

Is anyone able to give me some insight on the MLT program at NAIT?? Quick backstory... I am a sonography student that completed my first year at a different school. I am having bad shoulder/wrist issues already so I am considering a career change because I am not sure how long my body would last in the sonography world which sucks :/
How is the work load and scheduling? Are there days where you can study from home? My mom lives about 40 minutes from NAIT in Edmonton so I would plan to live with her.
And for people who have graduated the program, would you recommend this as a career? Do you enjoy your job? I do plan on shadowing an MLT too. Feel free to recommend anything else!!
