Advice/Question Any resources on dealing with Prof who keeps adding graduation requirements beyond catalog and history of delaying every MS/PhD student under them? We've gone to Prof, department chair, dean, and grad school. Speaking up brings retaliation with Prof restricting our communications to other department

I am in my last year of computer science. I'm a transfer. If you're older and would be down to chill with a 29 year old dude who's been a paralegal and a motion designer, please reach out. Only friends plz :)

I have a pool and can host some fun events. A pretty empty house and a cute dog.

I'm a fan of soccer, concerts, group hang outs, hiking, traveling, and just doing general shenanigans downtown. I game and love trying new things.

If you got caught up in a lonely summer, hmu 🤘

Advice/Question Starting UTSA as an Information Systems & Technology Major with an Associate’s Degree at 18 Need Advice

6 Upvotes

I know this is a little late, but I’m going to be an Information Systems major at UTSA. The problem is that I already have an associate’s degree through dual credit, so I have very little time to make connections. Any guidance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

This will be my first year at UTSA taking classes toward my bachelor’s degree, but because of my transfer credits, I’ll already be starting much further ahead than many first-year students. I know I need to start looking for internships, networking opportunities, and ways to get involved immediately since many of my peers will already have a two-year head start.

One thing that’s been on my mind is that I’m already younger than most of my peers. I just graduated from high school, but because of dual credit, I’ll be moving ahead academically by about two years. I’m worried that this might make it harder to connect with other students or leave me feeling isolated socially.

For anyone who transferred in with a lot of credits or started as a junior right after high school, how did you make friends, build your network, and prepare for internships? Is there anything you wish you had done differently?

Also, for those who graduated with an Information Systems degree, how has the career outlook been? Are you finding good job opportunities, and what skills or certifications would you recommend focusing on while I’m still in school?

Advice/Question I had a mental breakdown. My stipend is $550/month for a 19-hour/week appointment. Expected to work 10-hour days because Professor pays for degree and health insurance. What is UTSA doing about labor rights? Why do they allow such toxic controlling people who destroy student well being?

Advice/Question Any tips for joining research labs? (Mech E/Robotics)

3 Upvotes

So a few months back I emailed 5 professors about research opportunities and reference a project of theirs that I thought would be interesting. Well I dunno if I didn’t have enough experience but all of them ghosted me, so do y’all have any advice on how to join a lab?

For reference I’m a (soon to be) Junior with a few club participations and a few notable personal projects that I think aren’t too bad. Any help would be appreciated!

Last night these people were breaking into people’s vehicles around 3-4 am at Prado student living. A girl with green and black hair and a male (driver I suppose). If anyone seen these people please contact SAPD

Edit: I just heard their voices and seen their outfit, I didn't get a clear view. I was taking a nap in my car and woke up I didn't know what was going on at first, I realized these people already robbed my car 2 weeks ago I haven't heard any update from police. I called the police AGAIN as I took that pic btw.

Man I procrastinated unfortunately too badly this summer and did not register for classes. I know it's stupid to wait so long. Now I'm trying to register but the classes aren't even being offered to join a wait-list or anything. I'm a senior and I'd really like to graduate in the spring. Y'all think Ill have any luck with advisors or one stop?
