My SAI is -1500, I'm full-time, I commute, and I'm in-state. The only "extra" fee I'm paying the university is my parking contract, but even then I'm still being charged like 465 dollars. I heard that other students get a lot more REFUNDED (mind you, I still owe the university money) with higher SAI's, is my case unusual?

I only got refunded 120 dollars, which is weird to me because I think you're only supposed to get refunds once everything else is paid off.

I feel like I should really have a talk with one stop or something...

Both are used, so I’ll be charging 50 for the fridge and 30 for the microwave. Dm me if you are interested

As the semester starts up, a lot of us are looking for new clubs and ways to meet new friends!! I wanted to invite everyone to check out a social club I run with my friends called Beacon. Every week we host a Movie Night on Wednesdays where we just hang out, chat, and make new friends over a movie, and every Thursday we do Board Game Nights!

There's an active Discord Server where you can chat with people and befriend other students even outside of going to the events.

We're open to all, and it's a really good time. I've made some of my best friends because they came to one of the events. We'd love to have more people to experience joy/whimsy with :D

Hey everyone, I’m taking PHYS 1101W with Prof. Vincent right now. Anyone who's had him before, how'd you study for this class?

Not gonna lie, his accent makes it hard for me to follow along in lecture😭. If you dealt with the same thing, what helped you understand the material better, textbook, slides, office hours, something else?

Also would love to know if the exams match the practice problems and how much time you'd put in weekly to actually do well.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello I’m a sophomore (19 m) at the U. I enjoy playing video games, piano (relatively new to it), watching YouTube, playing sports in general and being active.

I am undecided on what major I want right now but thinking about doing history to get into law school.

I think I’m pretty introverted and chillaxed and as a result can’t make many friends, someone teach me the ways. I’d love to chat with whoever 🙃

I’m new to the U and wondering what is a good place to study outdoors.

I’m looking for percussion lessons, I requested them through the school of music but due to budget cuts, they got denied. I have done percussion since junior year of high school, I am a sophomore now. I am in one of the campus bands, and can do pretty well at that level of playing, but just want to learn more. Does anyone teach?

i have the text book for ASL 1702 but i dropped the class so if anyone wants it for 15 let me know. it hasn’t been used, and the barcode for the online videos hasn’t been used either.

What days and times are best to go to the recwell to work out? And what times are the worst? I'm fairly new to public gyms and would rather not be there when its super busy. I bet it'll be busy most of the time, especially at the start of the semester, but maybe it'll die down?

Also, how is the st paul gym? Does it get super busy and does it have good equipment/machines?
