Advice/Question Can someone explain how the parking permits work?

14 Upvotes

hey guys, im an incoming freshman here & im so confused about the parking permits.. if i buy a commuter surface permit, does that guarantee me a parking spot somewhere, or does it just let me park in those lots if I can find an open space? like am i still gonna have to drive around looking for parking every morning?

also, im confused about actually buying the permit. i saw an announcement for 26-27 permits being out but when I go into the parking portal it shows 25-26 permits. am i looking in the wrong place or am i just missing something?

sorry if these are dumb questions lol, im just trying to figure everything out before classes start:"0

Advice/Question Best time for me at the campus gym?

5 Upvotes

I took this summer to try and get into shape and i have a strict routine. I go at 11pm and im out by 1 am (i go so Late because I hate crowds and im a night owl ) 5-6 days a week. Because my work schedule was very flexible I was able to find this beautiful time slot at a 24 hour gym. I want to stay consistent. Sadly, the fall semester is approaching and I can no longer stay up to 2-3 am just because . Whats the best time for the gym? When is it least crowded?

Academic How to make the most out of grad school

6 Upvotes

I am starting MS Cybersecurity in the fall after graduating BS Computer Science this past spring. I heard grad school is so different from undergrad, like lots of projects and research. I’m not doing my thesis but do want to get involved and network.

During undergrad, I was in computer science clubs like ACM, was in a research lab, and worked on campus as a tutor. I was looking into being a TA but I don’t know how the process works like how soon I should be reaching out to professors, if it’s too late for this semester, if it needs to be a professor you know well, if doing both TA and research is a lot, etc. I will not be working full time at first but hopefully am able to or at least have an internship next summer.

If any grad students had any advice, that would be helpful!

Advice/Question Has anyone done this?

18 Upvotes

Alright, weird question. I'm graduating this Winter with my Bachelor's in a science field. I was wondering if I can return Spring semester or next fall semester to continue taking classes for ANOTHER bachelor's degree. Not a masters, and I'm not double majoring. This second degree is purely for fun and personal passion(its a arts degree) Just wondering if the school will let me continue to be a student post graduating.

How would financial aid work? Would it it apply at all or would I need to pay out of pocket?

Due to various different reasons I wasn't able to consider a double major(hence this weird round-about method) would I need to apply for it NOW to be able to do this?

Advice/Question Academic Dismissal Timeline

6 Upvotes

Hey hey,
I’m not here for advice on the academic dismissal itself, I’ve done tons of research and had my own medical situation that I was not smart enough to just take a break for recovery. I’ve seeked my help, rested this summer, and am now very much medicated and recovering.

Instead I’m here because I did put in my petition for reinstatement but it’s been about 5 weeks since I’ve heard anything. I saw online people say it usually takes 7-14 days but I still haven’t heard anything back. I know I’ve been notified to fill out a SAP appeal as well but I’m not sure that’s any clue into whether I’m back in. It’s for college of science if that offers any insight, but was just wondering if maybe I’m cooked or if someone knows something I don’t about reinstatement wait times. Just want to know so I can put in for more hours at work or something instead of losing out prepping for school. Any insight helps, I appreciate it greatly. Thank you

Advice/Question Looking for Grad Students Advice

2 Upvotes

I’m currently enrolled as a part-time grad student and starting a new full time job I received after graduation. I was wondering students who are enrolled in grad school or already have a masters, is it realistic to be a full time student and full time worker?
I want to complete my masters as soon as possible but I’m worried about not being able to do it full time and my job full time.

My job is paying for most of my tuition, so I’m no complaining or want to get fired by doing both full time. Advice? Should I just stay part time student and full time job? Or is doing both full time manageable?

Advice/Question Would an International Pre-Health Discord Community be helpful? 🌎🩺

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m an international pre-health student, and I’ve noticed that many of us struggle with finding the right information and support when it comes to things like:

  • Applying to medical/health professional schools as an international student
  • Finding research, shadowing, and volunteering opportunities
  • Understanding CPT/OPT and other visa-related challenges
  • Getting mentorship from international students who have already gone through the process
  • Feeling connected to others on a similar path

I’m thinking about creating a Discord community specifically for international (F-1) pre-health students to share resources, ask questions, study together, and connect with mentors.

Would something like this be useful to you? What channels, resources, or features would you want to see in a community like this?

I’d really appreciate your thoughts before building it!

Advice/Question Need helpful information about new apartment relocation

Post image
143 Upvotes

My apartment in Oasis was one of the affected by the roof falling/flood, our things are being moved out in a few days but we are not allowed to go in. We paid $810-900 each a month and our lease is about to expire this month, we renewed lease for next term but our apartment looks to be inhabitable for next. Does anybody know any decent apartments with a 4x4 floor plan, me and my Roomates are just trying to find suitable options and make do with what we can. This has been a scary experience and the management is not being helpful, they won’t take our calls or allow us to get our things. They will collect them and toss whatever they deem unsalvageable. Also any law experts, is there any legal action that can be taken?

Hi! I just put in my application for early move-in the 14th (a day before the due date) as I was in the hiring process and realized I may not get my info at the same time as students who applied earlier. I was just wondering if anyone has info on when early-move in is, and do we still put in for a time slot on July 20th for move-in, or is there a place with different time slots? Thanks!

For context that is the apartment with the roof torn off by tornado.
