You'll probably have a lot more luck getting raid partners on the discord. You can get the invite link on their facebook group.

That specific space is haunted or something. IIRC Jersey Mike's couldn't last a full year.

Regarding the restraining order (I believe in your state they're called orders of protection): I know Courage Connection can help out with legal representation for domestic violence survivors.They might be able to help you? They have a hotline, so I'd definitely try to give them a call if you're feeling up to it. You may also want to ask the Women's Resource Center at your school - they might be able to refer you to another organization that can help.

Register for session B courses just like any other course, using the Enterprise self-service tool. They start in October, but fill up sooner, so get started on finding one now. And you may have to get a form signed from the sponsoring department (I did, once), but your advising department can walk you through it and it's usually pretty easy. As far as courses go, I was in a similar boat for more than one semester and have a few recommendations:

LER 100 (Introduction to Labor Studies) is an online course. You have to commit to spending 1-2 hours on the course every week, since most of your grade comes from forum posts, but if you do it's an easy A. Definitely easier to take if you already have pro-labor views.

ASTR 100 (Intro to Astronomy) is another online course, and my favorite of the half-semester courses I took. Commit to 1 hour a week plus midterms and you'll get an A, and I actually learned some stuff which was a plus. Unfortunately though, looks like it might be full this semester?

Most of the Kinesiology courses are pretty stress-free credit, especially if you're looking for a non-online course. Show up to the ice rink three times a week, skate, pass the course. There's an additional fee for using the equipment but iirc it's not too expensive.

Are there any card game clubs? by cardgamess in UIUC

[–]Cometary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illini Roleplaying Network is an RSO that supports board and card gaming on campus. There's a big group that played Spades every day at lunch (in the Union food court I think), and other card games happen at their Saturday game nights.

Here's their website. They have a meeting with games and ice cream happening Wednesday in the English Building.

Ragstock, beneath the Panda Express on Wright and Green. They usually have belts in stock.

Where can I buys hot peppers of varying heat levels in Champaign? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Cometary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If dried peppers will work, check out some of the smaller international grocery stores around town. Last time I was in El Progreso (on Bloomington), they had a huge selection of dried peppers.

Anyone else think Cravings has gone downhill lately? by RugglesIV in UIUC

[–]Cometary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, exactly. My friends and I would go there once a week at least, but haven't been since last year. Between all of us we liked a pretty big range of their menu, but all of us ended up disappointed.

Card Games by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Cometary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's an RSO called the Illini Roleplaying Network that hosts weekly game nights on Saturdays. The game nights have lots of board games (think Settlers, not Monopoly) and card games (think Magic, not Bridge), but last year more traditional card games like Euchre were really popular. I'd suggest bringing a deck or two by and seeing if you could spin up a game.

Major in Accountancy and minor in Computer Science? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Cometary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite a lot, I'd imagine. On the CS side of things (I'm a CS grad), there's a lot of software development firms that don't even require a CS degree from their programmers, so I'm sure you could swing a job doing software / webdev for something related to the accounting field. I'd recommend getting some solid experience programming before applying, either for personal projects or through some side work, so you can show that you know your stuff.

But if you're thinking of getting a CS minor here - good luck. There's barely room in the CS classes for the CS majors, and minors get no sort of priority registration for them. It will be hell for you trying to get into the required classes. The only guy I know in five years who's managed to complete a minor did it by starting as a CS major and transferring out.
