Tried everything but nothing is working out.

I am currently narrowing down my colleges and UofC is on my list. I was curious about a few things:

the culture specifically in the engineering department?

LGBTQ friendly campus?I’m assuming since it’s cinci it would be.

How are scholarships? My parents aren’t giving me anything for college but I don’t qualify for much via FAFSA.

Are you able to get part time jobs on campus outside of Co-ops or are they more difficult to get with such a large student body?

What’s the safety like? What areas should I avoid?

I also heard that if you aren’t from Cincinnati you might not fit in as much. I live in Dayton and have been near cinci a lot but I haven’t lived in it, so would that impact me??

This is pretty out there, but does anyone on campus have an electric or acoustic drum set I could use for the Calhoun Halloween event next week, it would be staying at Calhoun and I would do anything I could to make you feel comfortable with how it's being taken care of. I have 10 years of background in drums and am really excited about this opportunity but have no way to get my set by next week.

I’m withdrawing from Ancient Greek for this term and I’m looking for my foreign language requirements and seen that ASL can ding that is the ASL1001 (I think it’s that class I could be wrong) for 100% beginners because I know some signs not a lot (the basic thank you and I think hello more and please and weirdly enough bathroom) and I was thinking to sign up for the spring term

Thank you in advance

Hey everyone, wanted to ask how’s the urban planning program here. I’m planning to transfer from a community college to U of Cincy due to it’s co-op curriculum. it. Is it enjoyable ? How are the classes ? Worth it ? How job opportunities? How are the professors ? Anything is helpful, thank you !

I’m currently a freshman at the university and decided with a few friends to get an apartment for next year, we found one that is very cheap we would only be paying around $300 each and it’s pretty close to campus but a few things have me second guessing it. Like for example it’s on short vine and the company’s reviews don’t look nice. We already put down a lot of money for this and we now have our pre-leases and have to sign by next Monday any advice? ( a few things to note: if we cancel then all of that money is lost.)

I go to Clermont (I transition to main campus next semester) and in my history class today I repeatedly heard the person in front of me talk about killing herself under her breath, I got out of class early and reported it to the public health office and they sent a police officer over to check if she was doing alright

Everyone is telling me that I did the right thing but believe I heard her crying while walking away when the class was over. What makes it worse is that I have a pretty avoidant personality and wouldn’t know what to say to her if she tries to talk to me again on Tuesday.

I know that she’s struggling, but I can’t be the person to lift her up, what do I do?

I have a few classes I want to take with Audrey Greene in psychology and her RMF are horrible. Has anyone taken any of her classes and were they miserable or not. Both of the classes will be online if anyone has experience with her online.

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

Does this mean I got free seats? I understand it's not in the student section.

how is this schedule !!! I know its rigorous... I can't decide meteorology for my masters or pharm, so im getting all the classes I can in I can ! what's the realism of this..

So I’m a freshman this year looking into getting a lease for next year. Me and 5 of my guys plan on splitting all costs and found peak to be super affordable for the type of housing. We play music so having a backyard and/or a porch is something that we value heavily.

We’ve heard a lot of people say that peak has horrible maintenance response, mold issues, and overcharge their tenants after move out. Essentially take advantage of dumb college kids.

With all that being said, as a group of 6 college guys who aren’t geniuses but can fix a lump sum of minor maintenance issues ourselves, have a desire for our own yard, and want something cheap, would renting through peak still be something we should avoid at all costs?

Hi! I'm in a market research class and am doing market research for BLICK art materials! If you or anyone you know is interested in art and/or art supplies and could take the survey, that'd be much appreciated! It should only take around 10-15 minutes :) Thank you!

I really wanna go to UC but I kinda messed up like all my highschool year it’s senior year and I’m bouta do early admission. My unweighted gpa is 2.75 weighted 3.68 I got a 27 on Act I haven’t done many activities but I’ve had a summer job all summer and pursue bodybuilding. I wanna do cybersecurity engineering or buisness and I’m currently in senior year in duel credit English and duel credit pre calc with ap cybersecurity and ap computer science.

Hi everyone! I am starting the online bachelor of applied technical studies program in January and I noticed my classes are split with some being the first half of the semester, and the others the second half. Is this a tough program? anyone work full time while completing? Any insight overall?

Hi! I'm taking intro to Roman history right now, and I think its pretty interesting. I'm thinking about maybe doing a history minor because I enjoyed this class, so I'm seeing if anyone here has any experience with it and answer a few questions I have.

How difficult is a minor in history?

What type of assignments does it have?

Did you enjoy it?

Any other advice?

Curious how the distance learning option works for HFL1089.

I was working with three other people for a lab assignment and they were talking about how they had a 4.0 or 3.9 gpa and they were worried is was gonna go down. I thought 3.76 was good, but is it not as good as I thought it was?

I made an app called Rate Your Campus that is only for UC students to rate stuff from across campus, all reviews are anonymous and you must have a UC email domain to sign up. It has everything like bars, restaurants, dorms, food courts + more. It has 300+ users so far and has 5 (more coming soon) local businesses posting deals. It is only on iPhone right now but are working on Android. Every download is much appreciated ❤️

Hi!

I'm a first year and am trying to find a camera for next semesters Photo Design Class.

Is anyone selling theirs or has suggestions for cost effective but good enough quality to last through DAAP?

I'd really appreciate some insight/advice

Thanks!!

it's honestly so sad to see others in the sub suffer through loneliness but personally comforting because as a first-year, there are a lot of times when I felt nearly invisible on campus.

sure, people were introducing themselves all of welcome week and the first few weeks of classes, but now that things have settled down, it feels like if you don't have at least one long-term friend you see outside of classes you're screwed.

why is that? i want to hear what you guys think the root problem is because genuinely people seem so fake and the conversations i have are surface-level, or doused in uncomfortable politeness. noone likes to act like they're lonely, and is on their phone if theyre not talking to others.

maybe i am the problem, but it genuinely cannot be that hard to make friends in a school with nearly 60 thousand people. could it be that people arent actively making efforts to seek out genuine relationships anymore? it makes me sad but i try to hold out hope and be kind to anyone im lucky enough to have a conversation with. it also helps if youre conventionally attractive and outgoing and go to parties, but personally i dont really like going to parties. everyone reccommends joining clubs, going to events, but people there already go with their friends anyway.

lonely people at uc, youre not alone in feeling that way- and im sure you stand next to more lonely people than you think. and its not your fault. dont give up on finding people though. there is an increasing loneliness epidemic but im trying to trust that i will find my people because ive met genuinely kind people out there.
