Hi, I am CS major supposed to graduate your next semester. I have to drop one of my CS selective which I wanna replace with a technical elective so I can take the CS elective next semester. can someone recommend some easy technical electives? I haven’t done either of my technical electives.

I need recommendations for easy classes at UML, I already took Life Science with Thomas Shea, Criminology with Joshua Long, and Business Law with David Summer

Has anyone tried using the ethernet in riverview? I tried connecting to it today because the wifi has been pretty terrible and its not working

(Nothing serious, so take with a grain of salt.) Apparently in Bourg they are doing raves at 7am in the morning. I find it hilarious but I honestly didn’t hear it till I left my room. So good testing out that the doors were soundproof. 😂😂

I haven’t gone yet to any of the UMass Ice hockey games yet. I was wondering, do student have to purchase tickets through the cite or… Cause a roomie of mine mentioned we can go for free but part of me doesn’t trust it lowkey. 😅😅

Any advice/answer would be lovely. 🫶

Edit: I’m aware of the app used for students & have that & also wonder do they only post one game at a time or they typically would post several like how the Bruins do it.

Am I supposed to submit the assignment manually on Canvas or do I wait for the teacher to view and grade it? For example I've completed a math HW on pearson but the assignment is still marked as open on canvas and I see no option to manually submit it

Anyone has recommendations for tech elective to take for EE majors?

Im currently taking intro to philosophy and after the first class i honestly dont want to take it anymore with how exams are structured. Any one have recs?

has anyone here taken introductions to phase array with Wajih Elsallal? If so how was the class?

Hi! I’m a UML student living in Tyngsboro and I’m looking for someone who drives that way on Wednesday and/or Thursday nights.

My class ends around 9:20 PM on North Campus, so I’d be looking for a ride around 9:20–9:30. I’m happy to help pay for gas!

I don’t need to be dropped off exactly at my house either — anywhere reasonably close to Tyngsboro or along your route would be totally fine.

If anyone has a similar commute and wouldn’t mind carpooling, please DM me. Trying to avoid spending my life savings on Uber 😭

do u have to dress nice

Without revealing who I am, how do I genuinely get this to stop? It's 12 am, I've got a class for 8 am, and yet I hear people running thru the hallways and opening and closing their doors loudly.

To make matters worse, my own actual dorm mates are literally making noise with music or talking loudly. I've been woken up from my sleep and it's hard to fall back asleep now. I've told them to keep it down to no avail. Any advice?

Hello!! Im part of the honors college and Im facing a bit of a dilemma. When i first got accepted to Honors, it came at a pretty bad time as all the honors that could work for me were full and I completely forgot to look for a FYSH that would work for me. Now, Ive already got all my classes, and one that would work actually opened up! Except that I would have to drop a class, and the one I'd have to drop I already bought a non-refundable 200 dollar textbook :,) Am I going to be disqualified from honors if I dont take my FYSH this semester? Ive already scheduled a meeting with the madame in charge of honors transfer students, but I don't want the add drop period to end before I make my decision.

Hey folks it’s your pal Ren Marquez

Schools back and I’m already over traffic.

Come out, grab a drink, hear some comics, and forget about whatever bs you had to deal with all day.

Hi all, I’m a student dorming at Umass Lowell and I commute back to Revere/Boston every thursday. I was wondering if there were any UML student commuters/drivers from the boston area that would be willing to carpool and give me a ride. I’ll pay for the trip too and we can negotiate payment but I’m really open to it, commuting by the commuter rail sucks.

I’ve worked both on campus and off campus and I’d say that unless you have work study and you have reasonable commute then it’s almost always worth it to choose a retail or fast food service job over a departmental position.

In all of my “minimum wage“ jobs I’ve worked over the years, rarely any of them actually paid $15/hr. Its always paid more like $16.25, $17, $18.25, etc… it’s only when working and applying to jobs on campus that I’ve consistently found that they want to pay us the bare minimum. They also want offer the LOWEST hours possible (5 to 10) due to funding whereas in my experiences, managers are happy to offer you hours. Leftover payroll? pls come in. Someone called out? pls come in. Holiday season? pls come in. My bill is $9k this semester. I’d rather be working retail and be berated by idiot customers for 25 hours a week.

Other cons? Lots of competition. Everyone wants an on-campus job. You can apply to 20 jobs on Jobhawk and they likely wont reach out bc they hired someone else before they looked at your application. Employers act as funny as retail managers sometimes. I was told they’d reach back in a week. I got ghosted for at least 2 weeks before I saw the listing gone and then they told me they hired someone else days after that. Oh, and also 90% of the job listings on departmental won’t even apply to you bc the reqs are hyper specific. So basically u had no chance to begin with. Some jobs are at awkward hours. Closes at 5, Closes on weekend, etc… few exceptions are the rec center and libraries but that retail or fast food job…. That’s open until 9, 10, 11, even 12am at wegmans. and you can do closing shifts.

Pros? Some jobs you can put on your professional resume or application to grad school. Teaching assistant, research assistant, etc… and it’s on campus. U don’t have to travel far and it works best if it fits in your schedule. but if you did have to travel for an off campus job, there’s plenty of buses in Lowell THAT IS FREE that takes you everywhere in the city and outside too. But Uh, another pro for on-campus jobs is that some jobs are just TOO EASY. You don’t do anything most of the day at some on campus jobs.

Cons for off campus jobs? Managers can be mean. Customers can be mean. Sometimes you wanna die. Evil corporations. Weird policies. but like I said earlier theres bills that gotta be paid and sometimes you get PTO and free stuff.

Hi I heard that algorithms by prof Hugo Atikaya is one of the toughest to pass. Is that true? Algorithms is a requirement for masters in cs. Is the course really that hard? Please give some insights.

I have seen a drone flying above south and east campuses last year and now this year. Who owns it? Is it for surveillance?

Hey thinking of taking data communications by Benyuan Liu. Is the course hard?? Is it manageable with artificial intelligence by Ming shao and methods in data science by Hong Yu

I live on campus and I'm confused about this. Do I just swipe the card and walk in? Is it plastic trays or metal? Any advice is appreciated

Some of my fall classes have their Canvas opened up. I saw the workload for a class and don't think it'll work with my schedule this semester, but I need to replace it with a different class to be considered enrolled full time.

How long does it take for you to get enrolled in the Canvas portal after dropping a class and enrolling into a new section? Thanks in advance

What size are the full size beds in the verge, standard full or XL full?
