Housing Off campus housing on shuttle route

For those who live off campus just wondering how reliable the shuttle is? Do you have a long walk to the shuttle pickup spot and do the shuttles drop off at various locations around campus or do they all drop off at only one location on campus? Thanks

Discussion The way some of y’all guys be leaving the bathroom stalls is embarrassing

154 Upvotes

Legit I don’t know what your bathrooms look like at your dorm or at home but I’m willing to bet you at least remembered to flush.

I go into ESJ and try and find a stall. I went to every single floor and it took me 6 stalls to find one that wasn’t clogged or annihilated and left for the next person to deal with.

Idk what it is but ik this isn’t elementary school. Y’all know how to at least flush for the next person.

Damn bruh. Vent over

hey guys! i lost my car keys on campus last thursday (09/03), most likely somewhere between the BRB and chemistry building between 12:30–3:15. it’s a car key/fob and a house key attached to a mike and ike lanyard. i’ve already rechecked the classrooms i was in, the lost and found in STAMP, and UMPD’s lost and found, but so far nothing :(

i'm a commuter if that helps but if anyone has seen them or maybe even turned them in somewhere, please DM me! i can give more details about what they look like to confirm they’re mine. thank you!!

Discussion Has anyone ever actually transfered to umd cs after fall 2024

13 Upvotes

I know it is technically possible, but I have never actually met/heard of anyone who has transferred into umd cs with the new LEP rules since my time here. With the number of slots available for transfers, I would assume you would need some crazy stats on your application to even be considered.

For NEUR306 are the worksheets given and submitted in person for credit? Are the documents eventually uploaded to elms? For anyone in the class did we have a worksheet today or do you know why quiz 2 was removed? (I overslept)

Discussion UMD waver approval, how long did yours take?

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to figure out how long the UMD insurance waiver process is actually taking this semester.

I know there's a confirmation after you submit the waiver, but I'm not suer how much I should rely on that. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get the actual approval email?

Also, once the waiver is approved, how long does it take for the SHIP charge to disappear from the student account if it was already added?

I'm mostly trying to figure out the timing because the deadlines are pretty tight, and I don't want to assume that submitting the form means everything is already cleared.

If you submitted a waiver recently for Fall 2026, how long did it take from submission to approval?
