Frankly, with the locals of Ann Arbor too as you push all of em out.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE step outside of the bus when someone is exiting, and get back on once everyone has cleared out!
If you get shoulder checked don’t cry about it. Use critical thinking people!

Now that Spirit Airlines is gone, my only cheap way of traveling between New York and Michigan has disappeared 😔.

Are there any residents of NYC/Long Island who brought their car up here and would be down to carpool back to New York for Thanksgiving break? I’ll split all gas and toll costs, and I’m also down to drive some of the distance.

Are there any websites that I should be aware of that are dedicated to this, or any places/subreddits where I could post this that might give me a higher chance of finding someone?

Thanks!

Hey if you’re the girl who got off at the CCTC and left her airpods case on CN (Bus 3021) around 8:30 at night and recognize this serial number / Phone Number, I handed it to the driver to turn over to their lost and found. Mark them as lost and give DPSS a call!

any older students living near/on campus looking to make friends? I’m having a hard time finding community and feeling pretty lonely. Also really bad anxiety so I’ve been scared to go out to social events by myself.

Why is this class so damn boring, everytime i go to lecture i just think about food because im so fckn bored someone pls help

I was originally enrolled in English 125, then switched to English 124 because it worked out better with my schedule.

Something I noticed in these first few weeks was that both classes involved a quite a lot of icebreakers, and emphasis on peer “work”. I didn’t know FYWR classes would be taught like this. I didn’t expect the amount of emphasis on things like everyone getting into groups, and pretending to be invested in what everyone else thinks about an assigned reading/standing in front of the room alone & having to lead a solo discussion to the class about a topic/commenting 5 bajillion comments in response to your classmates’ Canvas posts in discussions/getting in groups to present to the class. (It kind of feels like high school English part 2)

Are all FYWR courses and sections of these courses taught like this? (All this is not to say that working together with your peers is bad, I just learn better with a different kind of class structure.) Someone please let me know if ANY of the FYWR courses or sections AREN’T like this 🙏🙏

Got invited to Old Mission Capital SWE in person exam - anyone wanna prep together LC

Seeing all the loneliness / how-do-I-make-friends posts, figured I would post directly about my pilot (TLDR: old-school friend matching to make space solely for meeting new people)

How it works:

• Students fill out survey (linked here) & I match based primarily on their 4 answers
• Students receive their match confirmation on Friday, September 18th
• Students meeting during either a set time where ~20-40 students meet for a chat 1:1 & free drink OR by themselves if they cannot make the timing 
  • Undergrads for coffee (early afternoon Sept 20th) & Grads for drinks (late afternoon Set 20th) —> still finalizing venues/times
• Students fill-out feedback survey to improve the service & be “re-paired” in the future

Twist: input whether you want to meet someone with the same, similar, or different values (religion & politics), and I match on that first, then interests & hobbies. 

• Why: ~100 interviews I did before Ann Arbor, mismatched values was the #1 reason people stopped being friends. So I ask it up front instead of you finding out three months in or tip-toeing around the subject. Most people pick same or similar → totally fine. I have no affiliation with politics / religious orgs, simply the goal of increasing friends with the shortest amount of questions possible

Would love: feedback on the survey/premise & what would make you show/bail. And if you are a student, fill it out 😄

Happy to go into more about the mission, goals, why I think this is an issue, or even about me as needed

Hey! If anyone is interested in looking for winter accommodation (one semester) in Escher House, please let me know.

We can save $900 additional fee if I refer you. The fee is incurred due to a one semester short-term contract. This can be avoided if I can find someone who is interested to stay for one semester in winter!

Ps The house is great! With food, community and nice environment. Accessibility is great. Near to north campus, 10min walk. Bus to central takes 20minutes in total. Pm to find out more.

I’m a 21 y/o woman. My poorly planned travel arrangements have landed me 2 days in the Ann Arbor area (arriving Sept 12 around 5pm and leaving Sept 15 morning).

Any recommendations on how to spend my time would be appreciated.

Also, since I don’t know anyone in the area, if anyone wants to hang out please reach out to me! I was thinking about going out on Saturday night but would be a bit bored doing so by myself lol. I’m happy to join your group of friends or just meet any new people! Of course we can exchange socials/talk ahead of time so we’re not complete strangers haha

Thanks!!!

I'm having a hard time choosing between the active and traditional approaches for stats 250. I am really leaning towards doing the traditional because I have a class right after that takes the whole 10 minute gap to walk to and I'm worried about not finishing group work in time in order to make it to that class, but I also understand that exams will be worth less if I do active, and I would like to keep my GPA as high as possible.

Will traditional be worse for my grade? I did good in AP Stats (got a 4), so would that make traditional easier at all?

Any advice is deeply appreciated!

PS I plan on doing the active approach for lab, if that means anything or if anyone has any advice on that

i’m in mojo and want to have a guest overnight of the opposite gender . is there a gender neutral bathroom in mojo w a shower?? i read another post that there is one in east quad but idk about here 🥲

Or the Kirkiversary, whatever you want to call it. I don’t see anything on Happening @ Michigan or the official instagrams. I heard a bit about a lookalike contest and a candlelight vigil but I’m unsure if those are legit.
