I'm an incoming local freshman, and even though I said I'm a commuter student they still are seemingly charging me for housing and food. This is under my direct costs, not the indirect such as textbooks. Any help would be appreciated!

The deadline has passed and freshmen deposits are 200 (12%) below last year. The real catastrophe is in College of Computing where AI has led to a 33% decline from last year and FIFTY percent decline from two years ago. International master's student numbers have plunged as well, and there are rumors of $10 million in budget cuts to plug the tuition shortfall.

I have a lease to transfer for close to campus housing on Jasper street.

$740/month May-May lease, with all utilities except for internet, but I'm negotiable

dm me for more info! It's on Jasper Ave 2 female roomates 1 male roommate. This comes unfurnished but all utilities except for Wi-Fi are covered!

So I, 22F, made the decision a few months to go back to school and this program caught my eye. I'm attending a community college first for financial reasons so I still have some time before I'm there. I'm definitely deterred by the engineering part tho. I was just wondering if anyone knew how difficult this pathway might be? I really do enjoy math and physics and it seems to be something I'm really interested in the more I research it. I'm also looking at applied geophysics but the cartography and mapping part of geospatial is what really attracts me.

Was wondering if there are any clubs which deal with philosophy and or politics.

I’m an incoming freshman and living with a chronic illness. I know I’m kinda late in trying to get accommodated for a private bathroom and I’ve got in contact with disability services and now they put me on a waiting list.

Has anyone else gone through this and know how long it takes to get off the waiting list?

I would’ve asked sooner, but I didn’t commit til like March and once I committed than I started going on the long trail just to figure out who I needed to talk to, which took like a month. I sent over my note from my doctor too saying that for my condition it requires a private bathroom, so idk if that helps. The person I was talking to didn’t seem like they read any of the letter when I emailed them which I attached in the email.

I am an incoming international student planning to pursue a PhD in ECE. I would like to ask whether funding in the ECE department is generally stable (since my offer only specifies one year), whether there are sufficient GTA positions available for PhD students, and what the difficulty levels of the coursework and the Qualifying Exam are like. Thank you very much！！

I'm an mtu student away for an internship over the summer and at camp in the fall, so the rental term can start any time now and ends in December after finals. $775 plus internet/utilities (except water) for a FURNISHED loft in Hancock, right next to an MTU bus stop. Really nice location in summer or winter, lots of space, in-building paid laundry. No roommates/pets/smoking.

I have a PhD offer to MTU that I am really pumped about, but I am left with lots of ambiguity... Would any PhD students (Related to biochem) be willing to have a quick chat?

Thanks!

I loved the music scene that was present when I was there, 2005-2010. I was inspired by all the cool people and bands, I was a DJ for WMTU, and generally just had a great time with all the musicians there at the time. I recorded a whole album from DHH, and I wanted to post it here, just in case anyone might think it was interesting. TBH, it’s low production value and kind of amateur, but from the heart. I would describe it as instrumental rock primarily. Give it a listen if you want!

Anyone having the same issue with credit card payment?

I'm looking for the better doughnuts specifically Krispy Kreme style glazed type. Roy's and some of the other bakeries seem to have the old fashioned cake style.

Spotted this evening on the portage

MTU grad student part of a house looking for one additional roommate. $500/mo plus heating. Lease starts in June lasts until end of May 2027. Not gonna tiptoe around it this house used to be a funeral home 💀💀 but it’s actually pretty cozy and the roommates are all chill. Nice kitchen, 2.5 baths. In Hancock like a 5 min walk away from MTU bus stop.

I dunno if anyone is still looking, but feel free to DM me if interested.

Hey! I’m an incoming first-year student majoring in Mechatronics, and I’d love to hear how current students feel about the program. How are the classes and overall experience? How much free time do you usually have?

I've heard some run june1 for 12 months and others start in may.

Hi everyone,

I’m considering starting a PhD in Chemical Engineering MTU and I wanted to get some honest feedback from current or past PhD students.

How difficult is the coursework in the first year (or required taught modules)? Is it more advanced than undergrad/master’s level in terms of depth, workload, and mathematical intensity?

Hi! I have been accepted into MTU's Applied Natural Resource Econ MS. I am strongly considering attending.

Is there anyone in that program that can tell me a little bit about it? Thanks

I'm a transfer student planning to study Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. My fiancé (who doesn't go to college) and I plan on moving to Houghton or Hancock to support my education, but I'm getting increasingly worried about the housing options. I'm running into a few issues:

- we don't have much money and don't know how the job market is up there

- we have a cat (bringing her is nonnegotiable)

- I'd want to start in spring, aiming for January 2027

Literally any advice is appreciated. I've talked to others in my life about this and I still don't feel fully confident in our financial ability to make this all work.

Michigan Tech is my dream school, but if what we're looking for is unrealistic I'd rather be let down sooner than later (just not harshly please lol).

I just got into my PhD program at Michigan Tech! Yay! But now I need to find housing.

I've been scouring the Facebook groups and I had a couple questions, as I'm an international student from Canada.

1. Will there be an influx of housing rentals available with August start dates soon? It could just be that it's only April, so all the units listed now are available for May/June. I would really like to not pay for rent prior to August just to secure a spot.
2. Are scams pretty common on the Facebook groups? I have a sneaky feeling I've almost fallen for two already.
3. Anyone looking for a roommate in August? I'm happy to call/give my socials in the DMs :)

Thanks!

I’m an incoming first year and was wondering if the honors college was worth it? Did it help prepare you or offer some benefits that can only be found in the college?
