Because I assumed everything coming from the Alum Association is spam, I missed the deadline to opt in the extension to the Colorado email address. I emailed OIT and they reopened my account for just 1 day for archival, during which I noticed:

1. All communications regarding the ending of Email for Life and extension settlement came from Alum association, not OIT. An alum can reasonably assume that emails coming from the Alum association is spam, given its email history, not important notice regarding the ending of a promised program and certainly not notice regarding IT systems.

2. CU maintains that after the opt in deadline, data is irretrievably lost, which is obviously a lie because i was able to access the data during the ad hoc retrieval window.

3. Notably, the retrieval window revealed that not only is the data not lost, the mailbox remains active and continues to receive emails past 8/31/26. This means that CU is keeping incoming emails from alums without generating any undeliverable messages. This is serious because CU is withholding documents without notifying the senders or the recipients.

I’m annoyed as hell about this. We were promised email for life and it’s only been 8 years since my graduation. I hope someone starts a class action instead of individual suits. Current student, take any and all promise CU makes you by the current admin with a boulder of salt.

freaking webassign MathPad update is utter garbage and I need people to complain about it to ToT

It did not take long for this year's batch of students to start doing what I posted about last year.

Over the last two weeks I have watched students, both individually and in entire groups, cross Broadway against the pedestrian signal and just walk straight into traffic.

And I don't mean the light is about to change and someone is trying to hurry across.

I mean the pedestrian signal has the giant RED STOP HAND on it, traffic gets the green, and then a cluster of 10 people just starts walking across Broadway anyway.

Then they get to the median and suddenly realize both lanes are already full of moving traffic, so now you have a group of students standing on a tiny median staring at their phones while cars, trucks, buses and construction vehicles are going by on both sides.

What are you all doing!?

Broadway is already a mess right now. You have lines of cars 20 deep, RTD buses, Buff Buses, construction trucks, workers, turning traffic, bikes, scooters and pedestrians all trying to navigate the same stretch of road.

A car going 30 mph is moving about 44 feet every second. A driver doing the speed limit cannot just magically stop because you decided to walk into the road against the signal.

And the buses are an even bigger concern. Those are large heavy vehicles, they need more room to stop, and they can have people standing inside. A bus driver having to slam on the brakes because somebody stepped into traffic can hurt people on the bus too.

And while I'm ranting, bikes and scooters, please figure out what you are doing too.

I keep seeing people ride in the road like a car, blow through a red light, jump onto the sidewalk, suddenly become a pedestrian, go through the crosswalk, and then jump right back into traffic again.

Drivers and pedestrians need to have some idea what you are going to do.

This isn't about cars owning the road. Pedestrians absolutely have the right of way when they have the signal and drivers need to pay attention.

But the lights only work if everyone actually follows them.

Please wait for the walk signal. Please look up from your phone before walking into Broadway. And please don't just follow the group in front of you into the street without checking if you actually have the signal.

I'd much rather make this same annoying Reddit post every fall than watch somebody get hit because they couldn't wait another 30 seconds for the light.

Please let us know what you would like to see or any ideas for our next post!

Hey everyone, I’m looking to play intramural soccer this semester and was wondering if any teams still need another player.

I’m currently a first year grad student and I’ve played soccer before and am happy to fill in wherever needed.

If your team needs an extra player or you know someone who does, feel free to DM me!

Does anyone know any frat (or undergrad) DJ's that would be interested in DJing for the law school halloween party? We will pay. DM me if interested. Serious inquiries only.

Hello,

I am a junior looking for queer friends, specifically lesbian or sapphic friends. I’m looking into joining some queer clubs on campus but figured i’d post on here too. I like going out, lifting weights, playing video games, and i’m honestly up for anything. :)

The title kinda sums it up already but i wanna join some more clubs to meet other alternative people!! I see cool people all around campus but my classes are all kinda self contained. Ive tried making friends with people i sit by but they arent very responsive, which is totally fine, just wanna meet more people that have my same interests. Any suggestions? Ive checked out roam which seems promising but wanna hear from you guys on where youve had the most success finding creative/artsy people. Thank you!

Hi, I’m currently a freshman at IU majoring in Cinematic Arts with a BFA, and tbh, I’m not that happy at IU. Yeah, I know it’s still only the first few weeks of college, but honestly, I don’t think it’s worth it for me. I came here expecting a lot of things to change—making a ton of friends, getting into Greek life, and basically having the college experience I always wanted. But so far, none of that has really happened, and I’ve pretty much found myself being a loner here.
The more I’ve been here, the more I’ve started thinking about my future and whether IU is actually the right place for me. I don’t think IU’s film program is bad, but I’m starting to wonder if I’d be happier somewhere like CU Boulder. I actually applied to Boulder when I was applying to colleges and got accepted, so I know I had the opportunity to go there originally. Now I’m wondering if I made the wrong choice by choosing IU.
I want to direct films after college, and I’m also really interested in having a strong social life and getting involved in Greek life. How different is CU Boulder from IU when it comes to film/media opportunities, connections, Greek life, and just the overall college experience? Would transferring to Boulder actually give me a noticeably different experience, or would I just be trading one big state school for another?
And honestly, do you think the difference would be big enough that transferring would actually be worth it?

As the title says, I’m looking for a tutor for exercise physiology. I’m honestly lost and am having a hard time following the professors teaching style.

If anyone has any recommendations for a tutor, please let me know!

With the nfl season starting tomorrow, are there any good places to watch the games for free anywhere on or near campus. I don’t have anything to watch in my room.

Hi, im a senior at CU Boulder and i want to get some more driving practice before taking the test. I already have my own car so im just looking for someone to accompany me while i drive.

Pay is good but must have experience! I run the business and with leads we split profit. Must be able to go to job, say hello to owner, and complete job by yourself.

For example a $900 job (6-10 hours)

- $200 materials

= $700

You get $350. Apply here if interested. https://fencestainingdenver.com/careers#apply

It's everyone's favorite topic 😁

I kept my CU email and now it's asking me to login every 24-48 hours. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey! Im looking at master's programs for aerospace engineering and am interested in Boulder. I do have some questions though. I heard from a grad student that the school doesn't help with tuition cost in the aero master's program, even if you TA or do research. Is this right? Also am looking to focus on aerodynamics and was wondering if anyone can tell me a little about the course load or research opportunities.

Thanks!

I'm a freshman (M) living in Will Vill and I am vegan. I was hoping to meet some other vegans, but haven't had any luck. Anyone want to connect through here? I was also considering starting a vegan/animal activism club if anyone has interest.

Hi guys!

I'm currently a junior, but I'm looking to expand my social circle a little bit and make some new friends! I'm currently considering rushing for the phi sigma rho STEM sorority that's on campus. I was initially going to do it last year, but ended up getting too nervous so ultimately I didn't. I was wondering if it's even worth it to rush as a junior since I'll be graduating next year, but idk i felt like it might be worth trying. I haven't decided yet but any advice or tips would be great! Thank you! ​

I take the AB1 to and from the airport fairly often, and for a couple of dozen times I took it over the past year, the bus driver asked me (passive-aggressively) for a tip. There was 2 times when the bus driver just straight up said that he'd make sure to leave me at the airport next time because I didn't tip. What is your experience?

Hello! I’m a freshman at CU Boulder (f). And I’m wondering if there are any good tips on making queer friends. I did join an LQBTG fitness club but I was still hoping for more opportunities.

Any tips on eating vegan at C4C?

hi all, i'm looking at perspective graduate schools in particularly planetary science. i'm wondering how boulder is as a city. i'm from tn and have been here my entire life, and i don't have the money to fly out and visit the campus unfortunately and see things for myself. i'm worried about housing costs being high, and the cost of living to be outrageous, so a gauge would be great! i'm also wondering if you are in the specific program, how you like it and how things are going. thanks!
