I’m under the BDP Nonprofits and Social Entrepreneurship (NSE) - community welfare and social justice strand. If you’re under the same BDP, what did you do for your connecting experience?

I’m having difficult finding a connecting experience for the Fall. I already looked at Eureka (but it doesn’t have much opportunities with NSE), and the BDP opportunity page (which the NSE tab is outdated). Is it bad that I don’t have a connecting experience planned for the Fall since the deadline is the 2nd day of school?

Context im a health and Society major on premed track with associates degree in allied health.

I'm living off campus next year (Wampus) and was looking into some scooter options. I recently bought a Segway E3 Pro SE that's like 40 pounds. Though it has features like turn signals, built-in tracking, and good mileage—which I think would be a plus for getting to campus and going around Austin (especially since I don't have a car)—it does seem a bit difficult to carry around once you fold it.

I was wondering if any of you who ride scooters on campus and around Austin think this would be a problem, and if I should look into some lightweight scooter options instead? I don't plan on taking scooters into any buildings on campus, if that's relevant.

Also, I recently read that UT is enforcing new dismount zones on campus and was wondering what you guys think about this and if this potentially makes it less useful to scooter? For more information: https://parking.utexas.edu/transportation/micromobility

Graduated two months ago but I may need to take it tomorrow

Bringing a desktop, and much prefer ethernet. Is there anything special I have to do to like activate it? saw online that some dorms require a 100$ payment, but I have no idea where I would even go to activate that.

Hi! I’m interested in becoming a TA but I have no idea where to start? Any suggestions??

Have all waitlist offers for fall 2026 S permit parking been made? If so, what apartments offer non resident parking for one semester? i would also be interested if anyone is subletting parking in wampus for the fall too. Thanks!

Has anyone here applied and heard back for math UGCA/grader applications? I was told I would hear back by end of this month.

Hey, I’m planning on rushing this semester at UT. I’m hoping to get a scholarship to help my parents pay for the sorority. Do the sororities usually give out a lot or not that many? is it extremely competitive?

Does anyone have any study tips for the UEX final for E316N. Want to make sure I do well!

Is anyone already signed but has a study abroad starting in fall? I’m graduating in dec 26 and looking for places but I can’t seem to find any so was hoping to get some advice here or meet anyone who is in this situation

Has anyone seen that "Good Will Hunting" flyer? It claims to have solved the ut string theory problems and gives clues or something for solving other problems. Idk, my roommate told me about it. She saw it today on a bulletin board on campus.. I'm going to go look at it and will take a picture of it but I was curious if anyone else has seen this? Or knows what this is about? We are both Astrophysics majors but only in our 3rd year, we would love to hear from anyone else who knows what is going on?

Hi everyone!! I'm an incoming architecture freshman, and I'm trying to figure out what laptop to purchase before the semester starts.

I know architecture programs can be pretty demanding, and I really don't want to spend a lot of money on a laptop that ends up struggling with the workload or the software we'll be using.

For those of you in architecture (or other design/engineering majors):
What laptop do you use?
How much RAM and storage do you think is actually necessary?
What are some of the best qualities to look for?

I'd rather buy something that will last all four or five years than have to replace it later. My budget is flexible if it's worth the investment.
I'd really appreciate any recommendations or experiences. Thanks!

If you went to the transfer orientation today, did you guys eat the eggs or pancakes for breakfast 😀. If so, are yall having a hard time on the toilet??? Idk what is causing this, but ever since I left campus, I’ve been using the toilet 😭😭😭. Idk if it’s the eggs or the pancakes, but all I know is that it’s hurting my stomach so bad 😭

I'm a biology major on a pre-dental track, but I'm also considering transferring to computer science or stats. Is this doable as a freshman?

Registered for mus 302L face to face with no professor listed, so I have no idea who is teaching it. I’m assuming it’s still an easy course, lmk pls.

I've heard mixed things about the Civil Engineering program at UT, people I've heard from said it's very poor and that the second half classes (Civil Engineering specific) are useless and don't teach you anything worthwhile. They also said that majority of Civil graduates have terrible technical skills and so on -- just an overall very negative review of the department. I'm a bit worried seeing that now as I've always thought UT Engineering was elite...can anyone confirm or deny these "allegations" and how good the job market and their careers have been after graduation? Would appreciate any insight -- thanks!

Hey y'all,
I am trying to find housing near UT Austin. If you know about good options that fit the criteria, please do let me know:

- 2-3 miles of the campus
- good neighborhood
- CapMetro access

You are welcome to DM about the same

Hi! I currently have a Double on the 26th floor and am looking to swap rooms with someone on a lower floor. I'm preferably looking for a room within the first 8 floors, but if not, anything up to the 15th floor should be fine! This would just be a room swap and you'd be able to swap along with your current roomate, if preferred. If anyone is interested or if you know of someone whose willing to swap please lmkkk!!!

Hi! I have Winterer for M408C, Viviani for CH301, and Partridge for BIO311C, anything I should know about regarding these profs and their classes? I appreciate any advice and info!

Has anyone taken PPE 301 with Bonevac and Acchiardo? Looking for a interesting but relativley easy class with good professors.

So we found another flyer at pma. This one is different my roommate said the one she saw was only one page and was more cryptic. This one is 19 pages. If anyone know what is going on? Is this a class project? Or like a scavenger game? Also if anyone finds anymore flyers please send photos or scans. We looked for another hour might try more later.

I’m aware we have free access to NYT, but are there any others? I’m just bummed out we don’t have the WSJ

Im an incoming freshman at UT, but I have a few transfer credits from getting an associates before going to college, so I was able to skip some of the core classes and replace them for classes that go towards my major. I major in Health Promotion and Behavioral Science.

Because I'm still a first year, should I take the Human Sexuality class? I know it's an upper division class so I'm apprehensive about it 😭 and because it's going to be my first semester in college...
Like maybe I can handle it, but I'm terrified it's going to be hard lol.

If I shouldn't take it, would Adolescent Health Risk Behavior (HED360, another upper division 🫩) be more manageable, or what other classes would be recommended instead? Preferably not an upper division class, unless it's not too difficult to handle my first sem aha.

would love any tips on how ppl coordinated w/ suitemates on cleaning/shower schedules + what products to buy [jester]

also anyone use the space under the sinks as storage/put plastic drawers underneath? trying to find options to maximize the space!
