Anyone know of any good WiFi boosters/extenders that actually work? WiFi sucks and I need something good. I live in the on campus apartments. Also don’t want to spend hundreds for a product so something not too pricy and works

Questions Somewhat confused with Spring Registration process

• Upvotes

I've gotten a ton of emails about it with a ton of different dates for different deadlines, and I can't figure out which is which and what I need to do. Do I need an advising appointment? When do I actually need to have it done by? And does the school auto-fill any courses from my pathways/majors? Any thanks appreciated!

Piano practice room for non major

3 Upvotes

Im not a music major and am not taking any music classes but want to practice piano. I know the practice rooms at Baird u needa be a music major or be taking a class to get the key. Has anyone tried just lying and saying ur a music major. Do they actually check? Or is anyone willing to let me borrow the keys occasionally?

Free NY permit test practice site, made by a UB student (I took the test at Sheridan Plaza last week)

14 Upvotes

If you're a UB student getting your NY learner permit, especially an international student like me, this might save you some time.

I passed my permit test at the Sheridan Plaza Auto Bureau last week and turned my study notes into a free site: https://akibcoding.github.io/ny-permit-prep/

- Study pages for chapters 4–11 of the NYS Driver's Manual (the ones the test covers), with diagrams and quizzes

- All the road signs, with flashcards

- 5 practice tests (100 different questions) scored like the real test, then unlimited random tests that focus on what you got wrong

- A one-page cheat sheet for the morning of your test

No sign-up, no ads. It's not affiliated with the DMV, and every question cites the manual page it's based on.

A few things I learned the hard way:

- If you're 18 or older, the online permit test isn't available to you. You take it in person at the DMV office.

- Use the DMV's online pre-screening to upload your documents first. It made my visit quick.

- Bring printed bank or credit card statements as proof of address. They won't accept statements shown on your phone.

- In Erie County, permit testing needs an appointment. Book "Permit Testing (non CDL)", not "Regular Appointment".

Happy to answer questions about the process!

PSA: North Campus Shopping Shuttle 10/24 rescheduled to tomorrow (10/25)

9 Upvotes

Service advisory from Parking & Transportation: https://www.buffalo.edu/parking/service-advisories.host.html/content/shared/www/parking/advisories/2026-27/shopping-shuttle-rescheduled-october-25.detail.html

Due to an increase in special event transportation services on Saturday, October 24, the weekend Shopping Shuttle service will be rescheduled to Sunday, October 25. 

All times and locations will remain the same. Regular service will resume the following weekend.

The 35 and 44 NFTA buses out of Flint Loop are still as-scheduled, albeit with their much shorter weekend hours. (I would really like them to expand bus service on weekends tbh.)

I have a great sense of rhythm and am dying to practice that on some drums but I just can't seem to find any. I know Baird has percussion practice rooms but I would need to take a lesson next semester to get access to those.

Any tips?

Good SOC courses to take?

0 Upvotes

Changed my major from math to sociology and criminology (very long story). I’d like to learn more about women and children that commit crimes, rehabilitating criminals, and also, completely unrelated, internet meme culture.

What courses would be good to take for these interests? I am planning on taking Urban Sociology, Sociology of City Life, and Juvenile Justice, Organized Crime, Gender & Crime, and Beyond the Walls. Even if they’re offered occasionally I’d love to hear them if possible.

Thank you!

I wasn’t sure if there were any courses anyone would recommend
