The (Uni)verse
A podcast for university students made by students, The (Uni)verse explores and discusses the good, the bad and the ugly of university life for students everywhere. University is a unique time in one’s life, and we all go through it both laughing and crying! Why not laugh and cry about it all together!
Universities, more than ever, need to develop partnerships with their students to create learning environments that better serve increasingly diverse needs and career goals, but students are often the silent partners. Let this be our voice (and the tag along prof's).
Your co-hosts are Janet Smyth, Laura Wang, Joela and Elaine Beaulieu, from the University of Ottawa, Canada.

Connecting
Going to university is a social experience for many students. You meet so many new people and make new connections, whether these are professional or personal. It is a time of change, when new friendships may arise and old friendships peter out. As you progress through your degree (or change it), interests are in constant flux and the people that revolve around these interests come and go. It can also be a time of loneliness, perhaps you have gone to a university where you have no connections, perhaps there is a language or cultural barrier, perhaps you are simply shy and you need to force yourself to get out there to create new connections. Follow us as we talk about making connections with students, TAs and profs, the challenges, the surprises, the strategies, the beauty and sometimes the pain too.
