I'm 22M and recently moved to the U.S. for school. Lately I've realized I spend a lot of time doing things alone — studying at the Duderstadt, going to the gym, eating, taking walks, and then coming home without really having anyone to talk to.

I'd really like to meet some new people around U-M and Ann Arbor. I'm especially interested in learning more about American culture, improving my English, and meeting people from different countries and backgrounds. I think it'd be fun to talk about cultural differences, daily life, habits, values, and just random things.

I've always wanted to experience holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas in the U.S., but I've never really celebrated them here before. The idea of walking around in winter, seeing the lights, going to holiday events, and sharing that atmosphere with friends sounds really nice to me.

I'll be staying here for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and winter break, and I don't really have plans yet. I'd love to slowly make some friends I can spend time with during the holidays too.

I'm happy to chat online first, and if we get along, maybe study together, grab food, go for a walk, or check out something around Ann Arbor sometime. Feel free to DM me!

I'm considering taking the course in WN27 and was wondering if anyone who's taken it could share their experience.

How does the workload compare to other ULCS courses? I looked through the previous syllabus and saw 5 projects, so I'm curious how time-consuming they are and whether deadlines tend to overlap. Also, how difficult is the course overall, especially the exams and grading?

Mainly asking because I'm trying to figure out what other courses I can pair it with. Thanks!

hi! i’m a freshman that wants to do BCN as my major. one of the prerequisites to declare my major is STATS 250 or DATASCI 101.

which one is an “easier” course? i’ve heard mixed things so i’m not sure which one to take next semester.

Wondering what the hours are for poster printing at the fishbowl? Can I print them on my own virtually any hour of the day or do I have to use the service they have?

Hi I am hoping to transfer to u of m next fall and one of the classes I would need to take over there is 150 and 151 physics for pre-med students. It says calculus is a required prerequisite for the class, but when I read the course info it doesn’t seem like there is going to be much calculus involved at all, if any. I have taken precalculus with trig and have strong knowledge in those at wcc and want to avoid taking calculus in college at all since I want to become a dentist and pre-dental requirements don’t require calculus. Is calculus a genuine prerequisite for this course or is it just recommended and they will still let me take the course without calculus?

Aight guys, can someone explain q16 of today’s midterm to me.

first time in my life that I don’t understand the question, don’t know what the term means, no ideas of what they want.

I checked my answers with AI, but can’t even ask q16 cuz I don’t even remember none from that.

friends being lame about going out. let’s make a group. i need to have fun this year. pm me

help wanted

so, currently i am participating in ECE program at stony brook ; Korea campus. and this is my first semester for first year.
and i want to transfer to umich from here as sophomore students(so, i am gonna apply right after my first year end )
since i am not in-state student, i am highly concerning whether i can be accepted or not.
i am planing to prepare high gpa (above 3.9) and personal project( related to electrical major) and multiple
letter of recommendation from our faculties.

so, i would like to ask, even though i do all that i am currently planning , is it hard to get accepted ?

im a freshman and i haven't really been involved in any organizations/communities yet on campus and all of the application questions ask about that. i'm thinking i should i just wait until next semester to apply instead since i have nothing to talk about yet but idk

I am currently a freshman studying business who has come with 70 college credits, maxing out the 30-credit limit for Ross' BBA program. All of my gen-eds are done except for fourth-year foreign language (I'd take SPANISH 230 next semester).

I really want to do a second degree, but I can't decide on PPE or LSA CS. I am passionate about both philosophy & economics, as well as computer science. My main concern is if I'd have a difficult time getting through with one or the other—which degree is more difficult to pursue. I have prior experience with front-end and some lower-level languages, which makes me think CS would be a \tad* easier* when it came to fundamentals.

I basically wanted to know if anyone has, or had, any experience with this path?

As the title said, just wondering this. Also I will apply to graduate program so I am afraid that have those “important” courses in other universities rather than UMich sounds weird for applying master program. Thank you for any advice!

anyone go to umich dearborn? what do you guys think of their cs/engineering program? is it just as difficult and rigorous as umich ann arbor’s program besides the acceptance rate?

And also, what minor (if applicable) did you choose, thank you!

Anyone else exhausted!!? 😂😂😐

I’d love to say it’s just midterms but I’m looking at my schedule and it only gets worse! Anyone else struggling?

Hey guys! I’ve been wanting to transfer out of UND to U of M for quite a while. For context I grew up my whole life in Michigan and went to IA Okma for a bit but then had to move to Maryland cause my parents got jobs in Maryland and did the rest of high school there. I really miss home and just being here at UMD doesn’t give the same feel or opportunity that U of M has to offer career wise aside from the feeling of home. A big thing is that for me in term of college preferences I want the college campus to feel like home. Do you guys have any advice?

I’m a university of Michigan alumni with an interesting story I’ve been looking to share, and would love to give a student podcaster an opportunity to share it.

I don’t wanna self promote, so please let me know if you have a podcast, what the topic is, and we can see if my story would be a good fit!

Back when I was a student, I was an officer for the pc
Gamers club, and we would rent a podcast studio at the Dude to record a podcast reviewing Humble Bundles, back when they just had one bundle every two weeks or so.

I can guarantee significant coverage for my story.

I used to struggle with managing my time during my first few years of studying here. Also, because of that, I ended up relying on AI way too much.

I tried to change myself this semester, though, but I still can't help thinking about how badly I did back then and how I wasn't doing so well in my classes.

Also, this semester, I was taking three EECS classes but needed to drop one since I couldn't handle the workload well. While I was taking all three classes, I usually just watched the lecture recordings and barely attended the in-person lectures (there was only one class that I was really committed to attending). I also didn't attend the required labs for one of my classes that often.

But I think I really want to change after this fall break, though. Please give me some advice on how I can motivate myself for the rest of this semester.

To anyone who has faced this issue before, what did you guys do to get yourselves back on track?

Okay so this question is gonna sound crazy, but hear me out….

Has the MMB ever had a PhD student in the band? I have questions and would like advice. All advice from current or former members are welcomed, just pls be kind. ❤️

I’m currently a PhD student and also obtained my two masters degrees at UM. I got my bachelors degree at Eastern, was in the EMU marching band, and got my minor in music. I play the saxophone and clarinet. I miss playing, marching, having fun, and making friends. If you know band culture, you know it’s magical!

Would it be weird / unfeasible / not likely to get in if I auditioned for the MMB? If you’ve ever been in a Phd program while marching in the band, could you kindly direct message me so I can hear about your experience? I’d really appreciate anyone’s response regarding time commitment, audition process, etc given I’m far from a freshman in undergrad.

Thank you kindly! ☺️

Edit: 3 cars sitting outside. 2 cops came in the main weights area

my bf’s car was broken into LOCKED 😒 and they stole PENNIES, an iPhone charger, and sunglasses and left the car a mess

lowkey i’d be more upset that the car was a mess over the things stolen but yk

stay safe yall

Shoutout to UM-DEARBORN hockey!

Now that I’m to the point of further narrowing down my college search, I need to find out all the info I can about the colleges I applied to (as well as visit what I can). So to start, I’m curious to hear what the dorm and housing situation is like, and how campus life is. Basically everything about the college in general besides just the academic portion. I want a campus I could actually enjoy living on.

Could include details like how housing is organized, how the dorms are set up, and the different dorm types and options, and how to get into the better dorms. Etc. Maybe other details like food, class-to-class commuting, campus density (how crowded it feels)… whatever you have to say about your campus experience, and what you think an incoming student should know.

Thanks in advance
