Yes, there is a FB group. I can send you an invite via e-mail. What's your e-mail addy? Thanks.

Hi Sonam, I just sent you an invite via e-mail. Welcome to the group! :)

Hey Sonam, I can't add you since you're not on my friends' list. But if you search FB: Ualberta - AD nursing - class of 2016, you should be able to join :)

Hey, I wanted to know how long it would take to get to the North campus at U of A from 109 St. & 54 Ave. using public transportation? Thank you.

I cancelled my offer this morning, so that should officially open up a spot for an external candidate. :) Good luck!

TO ALL AD STUDENTS: Pls feel free to join the new UAlberta AD Nursing group: ADNursing2016 Thanks :)

Thanks, Eatyurmakeup & janfrn for the quick replies! Good to know. Perhaps I will pounce on that offer soon (it's from a friend of a friend), but still waiting to hear from Residence services first.

Hey Eatyurmakeup, thanks for the post! I had a room offer in the NW area, on 68th street...near Eastglen School. Do you know if that's near the LRT? Also, how feasible of a housing option do you think that location would be if I plan on taking public transportation to get to campus? For example, would it take more than 30 mins to get to school? I'm personally not a fan of long bus rides and I was looking for somewhere a lot closer, but I know the places on Whyte Ave tend to be more pricey. Thanks for taking the time to answer this! :)

Congrats Caitlin! I just realized you posted on the Faculty of Nursing FB page. I did apply to residence, but I hear there's a long waiting list, so I'm not sure if I'll get a spot. Hopefully, once I make the FB group, we can spread the word....

Yeah, that would be great. It would be much cheaper to rent a place if we share. What's your contact info? I was trying to start up a FB group for AD students the other day, but I need to add members before I can start a group. I can just add you through e-mail without adding you to my FB friend's list if privacy is a concern. Maybe we can wait and see what everyone else's plans are for accommodation and we can go from there? Thanks.

Congrats! :) BTW, are you all from out of province/town? Have you already found a place to live? I applied to residence, but I hear there's a long waiting list so there's no guarantee I'll get a room offer. It might be cool if we could all rent together? I'm looking for something near the university, preferably walking distance. Or if you know of anyone that's offering a good deal, pls let me know. Thanks.

Congrats on getting in! I wanted to start up a FB group for all AD students. If you're interested in joining, send me your contact info! Thanks. :)

I'm going to start up a FB group for the U of Alberta class of 2016. Send me your contact info or full name so I can try to add you. :)

Thanks for the quick reply. U of A administration seems very slow then. I was already granted early admission, so I don't know why it would take so long to update my status? I'll wait until the end of this week and if my status still hasn't changed, I will have to hassle the admissions office again, lol.

Has anyone sent in their final transcript to the U of A? Has your Beartracks status been updated? I called the admissions office and they seem quite slow in updating the status to 'final admission.' In fact, they said they haven't even received my transcript yet, even though I sent it through express mail (and it was delivered on Monday). I know the document deadline is June 15th, so I'm just a bit anxious about it all. Thanks!
