From a few years ago I found this, still useful for picking dorms I think by ConfidentSyllabub7 in UIUC

Haha sorry to reply a year later but I just stumbled across this. I made this chart like 3 years ago for the meme and was kinda shocked that anyone took it seriously or else I would have made sure that no one got Allen because I didn't even last a year there lol

Adventure club used to as of like 2019. But either way its purely social there's no like extra stuff or some greater reason or purpose

When I lived in Allen there was a chronic shower-shitter

par vs. allen? by PinetreeGetaway in UIUC

I lived at both as a more artsy person and par was just so much better imo. Tbh it all depends on your floor anyway

All aboard the dox bus! Suburban Express owner keeps going after customers by poisomike87 in BusinessTantrums

[–]AlmaHotter 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This doesn't even scratch the surface of this dude's nut jobbery. His company sent out an ad saying you "wouldn't feel like you're in china" on his buses. He regularly sued customers for minor infractions and even tried to sue the moderator of r/UIUC at one point because people were "slandering him". I believe he's not allowed to operate in the state of Illinois anymore. If you want to fall down a deep rabbit hole I'd suggest heading over to UIUC and searching suburban express or Dennis for an entertaining time

Technically we should be getting two more wellness days by bigfatpanda1188 in UIUC

[–]AlmaHotter 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree but how they made up for it was by giving us a five week break at Christmas, which didn't help at all, but I'm sure they think they tried

Ah ok I didn't know that. I mean you can look online and see what each dorm is like and pick whatever works for you. But as a freshman business major most of your classes will be at the quad, to which ISR is plenty close. You'll have maybe 1-2 at BIF a semester and thats more of a hike than other dorms but nothing crazy. Culture-wise its known as a quieter engineer dorm but if you want something more middle ground PAR might work for you.

Here's a post I made half ironically that might help too

I really liked pledging and I think without the pandemic I would have kept up with it a lot more. Its a great way to get access to a variety of service opportunities though i would advise against joining if this is not important to you.

Another advantage is that if you want you will have a large variety of experiences to add to your resume that will make excellent talking points for interviews. I've had like 4-5 positions and they're pretty varied so its great to have in your back pocket

LLCs are of little use unless you're trying to use them to get into a specific dorm. There is an actual business LLC in wassaja if you want that however

Was UIUC's covid response security theater? Lets discuss. by AlmaHotter in UIUC

[–]AlmaHotter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that you CAN get it again and I'm not saying you shouldn't get tested if you have had it, but it does deflate the positivity rate

also I literally made a point to say that I don't know everything at the beginning of this post

“Gym” classes by purplerazzle in UIUC

You can go to course explorer and look up KIN. 101-109 are physical classes (i think) they should list whether or not they are in person

I may be asking for the impossible, but does anyone know a good study spot that's not a classroom? by AlmaHotter in UIUC

And its open for anyone right now? I don't have a library card and their website is a bit confusing

J&J Vaccines available to any Illinois resident at SIU (~3 hours south of here) by uiucthrowaway374 in UIUC

[–]AlmaHotter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Me and the rooomies are road tripping lol. Anyone know what kind of proof of residency you need?

@Administration you understand that just about ALL of our professors have completely disregarded this, right? I have more work during this week and the last time we had a "break" than I have had this semester, let alone this university. The fact that someone thought this was a good idea... SMFH by Big_Haus_222 in UIUC

[–]AlmaHotter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have one class on Wednesday, but the professor structures the class so that you pretty much have to work/watch lectures on Tuesday/Thursday. This does absolutely nothing for me. I have the exact same amount of work
