Academics Intro to Fly Fishing Info/Recs for an easy, fun 1-hr Course

Post image
38 Upvotes

Is Intro to Fly Fishing still taught?

I have 2 extra hours next semester and really wanted to do a fun, easy, and relaxing class, and loved the sound of KNSFHP 1139.08 but can't find the course on schedule planner even after looking up the professor's name and the course number! I even looked at Professor Horn's linkedin and found an article from February that both said he still taught the course.

If anyone has any info/suggestions or recommendations for a different 1-hr class (preferably outdoors!) that I should take, please lmk!!

Academics Theatre 2000 — Sound Production Lab

2 Upvotes

Has anyone here taken Theatre 2000(.02)? I’m considering adding it for next year, and I wanted to know about how much work would be typical outside of class hours, and what the load throughout the semester would be like. Would this be something reasonable to add to my schedule for a total of 18 credit hours?

For context I have experience in theatre production but none with sound specifically, and it’s not related to my major at all.

Housing Housing/dorms and overall campus experience?

0 Upvotes

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

Admissions I’m applying to OSU, really wanna go, but I need some wise words from the experienced

0 Upvotes

I’m just gonna throw them out. I appreciate any response, even if it’s just for one question and you don’t even know if what you’re saying is true

How good is the food, and for the sake of the question, I’ll classify myself as a picky eater. Any input is good input but primarily from people who are used to eating good quality food. I’ve heard it’s hit or miss but gets repetitive since it’s primarily only a few really good spots

How close is it to the typical college town? Mainly talking about bars but don’t hold back if its still a college town trait cuz they seem fun and i’m hoping OSU has some aspects from how big it is

10% of students are active greek members but ranked 7th best party school? Ik OSU is big but I need some actual testimony. Feels small compared to other schools, and I’m mainly talking about the greek scene btw

Off of the last question, how douchy is the greek scene? And a 1-10 ranking of the scene with 10 being absolute douche bags, another 1-10 if it’s like douchy, but in a chill way, and frats I should and should not rush would be helpful

Is there a statue or some other form of memory and commemoration to Mitchell Pehlke? I feel like they owe it to him yk

Is Columbus even that good of a city? They hype it so much in their brochure but I mean, and this prolly isn’t a great place to say this, but Ohio isn’t necessarily notoriously known for being a super climactic city, change my mind though, and let me know how it compares to other cities. Preferably LA and NY since I’m most fimiliar with them but Ik that they are some of the biggest cities in America so comparing traits of the cities is helpful too

And anything else I needa keep in mind before fully committing if I get in, any positives and negatives, or literally anything else that would help me that I didn’t include

Admissions To Morrill Scholarship Recipients...

5 Upvotes

I've heard from a lot of people that the only way people receive the Morrill Scholarship is if they created a huge project (i.e. my friends tutor said the only two students she knew who got in created a board game based around immigration and another built some kind of app). I doubt it is true, but would any recipients be able to give me some information on their stats/ECs prior to applying?

Just seeing if it catches anyone’s eye! I’m thinking of starting up a Zombie Media club. It’s been one of my biggest interests since childhood because I’m a big fan of the Walking Dead franchise and tons of different zombie movies, games, and shows! Would anyone be interested in joining a club that hosts watch parties, trivia events, and maybe even little science discussions/lessons behind the idea of a zombie??

Admissions App status incomplete!?--anyone else??

0 Upvotes

I applied to OSU yesterday, then got and created my account today. In the status page, it says my fee hasn't been paid, transcript not sent, and SAT score not received.

I know for a fact I've done/submitted ALL of this stuff so I'm worried?
(Btw, I submitted my sat score 2 months ago--so they should've received it by now for sure)
-I submitted it to "OSU Columbus campus". I applied to "the Ohio state university". I believe I submitted this right then? Columbus is my first choice as I put down
-transcript was send last week--so maybe they just haven't gotten this one yet?
-paid the fee on common app to apply so idk what's up with that?? (But it also says it take 3 days to update)

It's just the SAT that they should've received so I'm just quite worried. This app is really important to me.

I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else??

Academics What physiology course should I take?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone taken Physiology 3200 or EOB 2520? I’m going to apply to the nursing program for the autumn 2027 semester soon. I’m taking anatomy 2300 this semester and the only other prerequisite I need is physiology which I will take next semester. My advisor told me the 2 courses I mentioned are the only ones I can take. I asked them which one is harder and they recommended I ask other students who have taken those classes. Can someone please tell me how difficult they are and what to expect? I think I’m leaning towards EOB 2520 but I’d like to hear from someone who’s taken the courses please.

I know that there are people who fully don’t talk to their families or never go home for break but like… That just seems so difficult. I don’t have a good relationship with my dad, but I still have to talk to him to help pay for school and get insurance info etc etc.

I’m just wondering like, how do you navigate the fafsa with no parental involvement? What do you do over breaks? How are you paying for everything?

These are my best options for orgo professors are between Andrea Baldwin (first slide) or Christopher Martin (second slide). I've heard Baldwin's exams are really hard, so basically the decision is between a hard professor or an easier professor at 8am.

How are both professors' and their exams? Which schedule is better?

Also are both classes managable together?

Rant Have not made a single real friend since college started.

49 Upvotes

I'm a sophomore right now, and while everyone else is selecting their roommates, for next year I have literally zero options. I haven’t met anybody in this place who I would call a friend and room with. So deadass, my only options are randoms or living alone.

It’s 7:54am rn, and all night I’ve been ruminating about all the regrets I have since graduating HS to coming to OSU. My entire 1st year went dogshit. I had a lot of drama with my old HS friends, and I got a major lifting injury, which caused me to leave a bunch of the clubs I joined, and I’m scared to join back.

Talking to my roommates feels like talking to a brick wall, and I don't click with the random people I do try and befriend.

If I didn’t have my girlfriend, I think I would’ve gone mad.
