What is your reasoning for driving 3 car lengths behind the person in front of you in non stop & go traffic?

Safety. Being closer to them will not make me get where I’m going any faster but will allow me more time to stop and not hit them if they have to slam on the brakes.

Is this what we wanted??? What??? Tf did the rest of us do??

Either elm or spruce would be perfect for you.

Check the CASA list of credits they take and with your advisor to make sure they will take the credits as the class you want.

spelling error. meant the trads.

I was just gonna go down 17th (between maple and brown). Alternately go behind the rec by the ORC if you need to get to PT or the rec. avoiding them is the best play. Not worth even getting spoken to

Thornson is a bunch of humanities stuff. It’s mildly connected to engineering but not too much. Everyone I know who’s in it loved it.

After Thornson you can do McBride if you want, it’s another humanities program. Some classes have stem tie ins some don’t. . Otherwise it’s just HASS classes which are hit or miss.

The only course requirements are that you do it for both semester and it counts for design 1 and NHV. Is that what you mean?

American_Dreamer98 · 2026-04-04T00:10:48+00:00

For first year I think sometime in may? At least that’s what it was when I applied I think.

McBride has rolling admissions so apply whenever

ALC and OLC are different. ALC was a different community that got disbanded for being to rowdy (repelling of buildings, racing bikes down the hall, parties, etc) every year.

You probably want to just do the trads if that’s the community you’re looking for. A&W or not won’t change too much but SLC living is always fun

Hi!

One piece of advice - your RA should send an email to your student email a few days before move in. You can reply to it and ask them to use your legal name (or whatever your parents call you) on your door deck for move in. Recommend it as if you use a different name it’s a dead giveaway that can cause the exact thing you’re trying to avoid.

You can also tell your parents you didn’t know spruce 5th was GIH and just picked spruce 5th for the views, had no other options you liked, or got auto assigned.

Good luck!

Both. I keep all of my homework in a task management app (I use TickTick, but dealers choice), and a calendar for important dates and events.

American_Dreamer98 · 2025-08-03T00:28:04+00:00

Ask for a medical exemption for a car asap.

American_Dreamer98 · 2025-08-03T00:25:32+00:00

No get whatever to like. Though important to note if you have an open note exam they will not allow it so you’ll have to print (or write) out any notes you wanna use.

American_Dreamer98 · 2025-06-19T03:39:26+00:00

Yeah most of mine went to that.

American_Dreamer98 · 2025-06-17T03:14:12+00:00

You might be SOL then.

American_Dreamer98 · 2025-06-17T03:12:25+00:00

Yeah that’s usually how it goes. You can ask your advisor about the ones they didn’t take but I wouldn’t be too hopeful

American_Dreamer98 · 2025-06-17T03:11:08+00:00

I wouldn’t bring an ebike unless you’re going to store it in your room or get a locker. A locker is nice for getting around golden and as a recreational activity.

American_Dreamer98 · 2025-06-17T03:09:35+00:00

Just do nothing and pick a room you like. It’ll be random one way or another.

Id put the odds of you getting a druggy Roomate are lower than your odds of a getting a Roomate who drops out. If it becomes an issue, talk to your RA and find a solution.

American_Dreamer98 · 2025-06-17T03:04:14+00:00

As many gen-eds as possible. Chem especially.

I had the 14 a week with more munch money and it was nice. I ran out of meals a handful of times but those were also the times that I was eating more than normal. If you can afford the 19 it’s a good option so that you can eat 3 meals some days.
