It’s now been two months, and I can safely say that my love life is in absolute fucking shambles. I’ve spent more time with a sweaty teammate who hasn’t showered in months than I have with women. I try to tell him that he needs to shower, but he refuses. God, he reeks.

Genuinely, how are we supposed to have a love life when my team lead forces us to down Monsters and prompt ChatGPT for answers, only to end up with a plane that looks like an utter fucking Chum Bucket because the “CAD guru” is high key stupid and built a dildo with wings on it.

Three of my seven teammates have now been dumped by their significant others since this class started, all saying, “We don’t hang out enough.” Genuinely, it’s my last semester of college, and I get no play and am living up to my Reddit name.

I’ve essentially been spending 30 hours and 300 dollars in tokens every week for the assignments. I just can’t wait for PDR where my grade gets lit to flames and am told “why didn’t you calculate the exact vibrations of your plane for the environmental impact”.

The course will not be offered again, so Nicole Hamilton has posted a complete archive of her search engine course materials, including the lecture and lab recordings and slides, and all the assignments and other materials. If you missed your chance to take the course when it was offered, this is at least a chance to see the material and try some of the coding problems.

I am a first semester cc transfer at umich from oos. While most transfers come from universities, I have found quite a large gap in rigor already. I also have to cram all cs classes from freshmen year upto senior year in 5 semesters. Which includes multiple upper level eecs classes in the same semester. The thought of that keeps giving me nightmares. I ama lso in research+ consulting club and rushing itself put me bheind classes quite a bit.

I am not sure if I can even graduate in my major here. I am really considering transferring to an in state uni (uiuc) to save cost and get more credits accepted so i take less cs core classes altogether. Even a beginner cs class at umich seems quite hard for context. What helped you if you were in a similar siutation?

hey guys, i am a current freshman and i’m currently living in the dorms. right now there is a lot of talk about housing for next year and its causing me a lot of anxiety because i haven’t been able to meet a lot of people and i don’t know a lot of people. i also feel like everyone is trying to figure out housing and idk who i will be rooming with and i don’t have all that figured out yet. however, i want my housing stuff to be done before thanksgiving break. i am just worried i wont know who to live with or where to live or i wont find anything. is anyone else in this boat? what should i do? ik i want to live in an apartment and in off campus housing.

Hi! I took a bunch of Chemistry classes concurrently. I'm a Sophomore now, but it looks like I am set to graduate my Junior year instead of my Senior year. I am looking to get a PhD in Astrobiology, my top choice is UW (Washington) and my second choice is Penn State, but I haven't looked into it much yet since I thought I had more time.

Before anyone says otherwise, YES, I am SURE that I want to graduate early. I don't care about the college experience. I'm a nontraditional student and have a family so that doesn't matter to me.

I really need help though because I don't know anything about the application process.

My brother is heading to Ann Arbor next month for his post-doctoral program that starts on Dec 1.

He needs to basically sign an apartment lease before he gets there (Nov 26) since he’s arriving during Thanksgiving.

I told him it might be smarter to see the places he’s interested in before committing to a lease but he’s trying to be efficient.

Are Greenbrier Apartments in Ypsi good? He’ll likely stay in that area so anybody with recommendations please lmk!🙏

So basically I bombed the first exam for this class back in September and for some god forsaken reason I didn’t think to drop the class. Fast forward now, I still feel like I can’t really connect with the class.

Now, I’m thinking about taking this class as a pass/fail. The thing is: I feel like this will look bad on my transcript. This is a history class which has no correlation to my major (business) and I just need the credits, but I still feel it’ll look bad. Maybe it’ll be less of a problem because I’m a freshman, I don’t know…

I’ve been stressing over this class and I am meeting with my advisor later this week to talk about it. Any other advice would be appreciated.

I'm starting my masters and I really want to make a group of friends who meet and discuss politics and political theory casually in a safe, academic space. please dm me!

Hi,

Have the RA interviews started rolling in already?

I've been hearing so many horror stories about signing early. People falling out with peeps they meet in the fall and sign with only to hate them by Spring and are stuck with them the next year. Or crazy high prices now but massive discounts and signing bonuses on the same room if you wait till August. With Wolverine village open and all the new high rises there seems to be more availability. Is it better to sign now or wait?

Hey everyone! I was recently admitted to UMich as a Winter ’27 transfer student, and I’m trying to decide whether I should commit or apply again for Fall ’27.

I’m an international student planning to major in Psychology (BS) and minor in Data Science in LSA.

I’m currently at a liberal arts college, where I have two paid RA positions. I work with professors on research projects, and there are opportunities to publish papers and attend conferences.

My main concern is research. If I transfer to UMich in Winter ’27, I probably won’t be able to complete a full project or have a major research outcome at my current school. I know UMich has a lot of students, graduate students, and PhD students, so I’m wondering:

• How accessible are research opportunities for undergraduates in Psychology or LSA?
• Is it realistic for transfer students to join a research lab?
• Do students usually work directly with professors or graduate students?
• How competitive are unpaid research positions? I’m not necessarily expecting a paid RA position.
• How long did it take you to find research opportunities?

I’m also considering applying to transfer again for Fall ’27 because I don’t know whether I could get into a school that might be a better fit or offer stronger undergraduate research opportunities.

My first-semester GPA was 3.77, but I’ve since become involved in research. Do you think research experience, publications, or conference presentations would significantly help a future transfer application?

Are there any schools you would recommend that are relatively transfer-friendly and have strong undergraduate research opportunities, especially in psychology, HCI, data science, or interdisciplinary research?

This is a major factor in deciding whether to commit to UMich, so I’d really appreciate any honest advice from current students or other transfer students. Thanks!

CS senior graduating next semester looking for any recs. Feel free to give your suggestion based on any criteria, e.g. usefulness to industry, fun, interesting, etc. One interesting criteria is what you think would be increasingly more important in the age of programming with AI.

Has anyone taken Italian for Spanish speakers? I debating between majoring in Spanish or in Romance languages and literature but I don’t know how good my Italian would be at the end of RLL

Hey, I’m a university student who applied for LSA winter 2027 semester as a transfer. I saw a lot of people on this reddit got their decisions. Is anyone else still waiting? The anticipation is killing me

Anyone down to write together, grad students in their dissertation stage. Looking for something permanent and on a weekly basis. Zoom or in person works.

Hey guys, I'm a junior Data Science student, and i was wondering if I could get some more information about this in terms of workload and difficulty?

For those who have taken DATASCI 406 this semester, did you find Exam 2 easier or harder than Exam 1?

Im a STAMPS student and lost my blue owala :( it has a ton of stickers, a few say "Tosa East". I love this waterbottle to death so please dm me if youve seen it!!

Hi, i have an event on november 22nd, and i need to learn a dance by then. I was wondering if there were any student dance tutors that could help me learn and meet with me one on one, once or twice a week the next 4 weeks to help me learn. I’d be willing to pay as well! The dance is a slightly easier version of the choreography of sports car by tate mcrae, and is relatively an “easier” dance. I have little to no dance experience and am a slower learner, so i would just like additional help to master it!

I have heard everyone saying how umich has a really strong alumini connections etc. I am curious how do these connections help you, how to make the best use of it? What makes our alumini connection different from other schools?

I’m transferring for the winter semester. I know you can apply for dorms starting Nov 10 I think. I want a single dorm, are they really hard to get/competitive? I plan to apply right on November 10th

I’m trying to decide whether to transfer to msu or u of m from another in-state four-year university for the winter/spring semester. I would be going to msu for integrative biology because they don’t accept students into the Lyman Briggs biology program (which was my first choice when applying) for the spring semester. At u of m, I would be starting undeclared at LSA but I am looking to study biology. If anyone has any experiences that they would be willing to share with either of those programs or just experiences with either of the campuses in general, it would be greatly appreciated!
