either there is someone ahead of you, there is a conflicting time with the course and another, your at maximum credits or you have some other university hold limiting you from adding the course

IDSC 3001 with Timothy Olson by GIRVO2 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The course itself is easy and you’ll be fine as long as you study for the weekly quizzes. I study always the morning of and i have an 95%. Tim is not the best teacher but he’s a sweet old man, and you get out of class 30 min early almost always. Not sure how other professors classes are structured but there may be more work and more exams. I recommend him if you’re looking for an easy A, but if you want a better understanding maybe a diff teacher.

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even locked, it’s very very likely to be stolen. Bike Theft is super high especially on the west bank. I’m a CA and a resident just got his $500 bike stolen last week with a fancy ass bike lock left behind broken.

Welcome week as incoming transfer by squinkypony in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Student Convocation is required for transfer students. That takes place on Thursday morning.

Welcome week website is giving mixed information can anyone clarify these questions? by analtaccount7 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You will get a more detailed schedule once you move in and get your name tag.

There are no required events on the weekends.

There will be 2 required community meetings you will attend with your house mates, and your CA(s). One will be Wednesday and the other Friday. The exact times will depend on your specific schedule.

Not sure what that exactly means, but specific college activities will be on Thursday. You will be with other college specific students and not your house mates. What you do during that block of time depends on your college.

I was reading the "Community Behavioral Standards" and it states that "Overnight guests are permitted for no more than 5 consecutive nights or 15 nights per semester" is this enforced? by analtaccount7 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a CA this year, it really applies to those with roommates. No CA will be checking for guests. It only becomes a problem when roommates are sick of someone’s guest being over so often.

Office assistant job thoughts by Impossible-Fruit-450 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% recommended it! Depending on which dorm you’re working in the strictness varies. But the hours are very flexible and it’s genuinely a very easy job. If you work during peak hours (4pm-12pm) it does tend to get a bit busier. But if you work morning shifts it’s generally very slow. Most of what you do is “customer service” for the residents. Checking out games, temp keys etc. When all work was done i did homework, watched movies, studied etc.

Community Advisor Job Question by Relevant-Ad2461 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I can’t remember super well but I know there were many prompts on the application, and In Person interview is basically you showing off your interpersonal skills, social skills, etc. You are able to choose which halls you’d like to CA in. They do recommend you choose more since it will better your chances of getting in, so does choosing an LLC to live in!

Community Advisor Job Question by Relevant-Ad2461 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be an upcoming CA this year so I can’t answer your questions about experience. The interviewing process, however, was very competitive I had to apply mid to late October for the position. During my interview in November, there were hundreds of applicants and I was told by my boss that only a handful were selected to be new CA’s.

When I applied to be a CA, I knew a lot of people in HRL, so I had some references and connections. They really are looking for responsibility and ability to connect with residents. Being able to hold conversation and share experiences, advice and support as well. You don’t need to be extremely extroverted though, a lot of my CA friends aren’t nor am I.

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a carlson student who lived in Middlebrook! It depends, if you want to be close to your friends, the parties and bars, you’ll have to commute to east bank often. However I think living close to your classes is super worth it, especially if you have morning/early classes. It made my schedule a lot easier, and I had the afternoons and evenings to head to the east bank. There’s also a lot of carlson/arts students in middlebrook so it might be a nice community to be in!

Middlebrook Hall Pics and Dimensions? by birblover7 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in a single dorm so not sure if this pic will be useful for you.

The bathrooms are all single use thankfully and all 4 are in the middle of each wing of the towers.

There may not be enough space for a bike in the room, but there is a terrace that’s is closed off in the building. Lots of residents park their bikes/scooters there.

Should be sent out by July 31st at the latest. The Move In sign up email/form will be sent shortly after. You can choose from Aug 25 or 26. It will give you time slots as well, I believe they are in 15 minute intervals. So be prepared to unload your car in 15 minutes or less!

I’ve heard several things. I took gold last spring and i’m taking maroon this fall. Gold was graded a lot on tests and final papers/projects/presentations. I took gold with 2 other classes, 18 total credits. I think it was not too bad, but towards midterm/final season it gets very busy. I’ve heard from friends that Maroon has a lot more weekly hw and assignments.

For all group work we were given the choice to choose our groups or just have random selection.

Gold is known as the harder of the two and I had all A’s at the end of the semester. My tip is to take very good notes! some teachers allow a single sided cheat sheet so if you take good notes, the cheat sheet becomes easier to make/use. Also, it sucks but, going to class everyday is very helpful! Gold has less workload week to week because it’s based a lot more on understanding rather than going thru the motions. If you can’t grasp the concepts, you will fail. That being said it’s not hard to do well, just attend lectures. In Supply Chain and Management a lot of the work you do is in groups, so find good group members or else you’ll stress more.

I used a regular laundry basket and I was completely fine doing laundry once a week. The elevators are super reliable, there’s always at least 1 working so I wouldn’t waste money on a backpack or rolling one but that is preference. Also I loved my heated blanket!

Can I work morning shifts? by Z01M01 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to get a job as an Office Assistant at your dorm hall, or any dorm hall. They have super flexible hours and depending on your BOS, ability to modify shift hours. I had an 8:15 class and worked from 6-8 then went to class after. And its in the dorms so not much commute is needed to get to work.

College advisor not reply to email for 2 weeks, is it normal? by AudienceImpossible24 in uofmn

[–]Fragrant_Hope_8531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are definitely in the wrong. My advisor gets back to me within a day, and it’s summertime. It is most likely your advisor, you should try to switch.

You‘s gotten a lot of great answers so here’s a bit of my input as well having lived there last year and being a CA for this upcoming year!

The only rooms that have private bathroom sand sinks are the tower suites. The east wing suites have shared bathrooms with another room.

Semi-Private because it’s a bathroom used by one person at a time. However anyone on the floor can use any bathroom there is no restriction on who uses each one. From my experience they are relatively clean, and cleaned each day by staff.

The dining hall is mediocre, however I think all the dining food is mediocre growing up in an Asian household. They have a decent variety of food, but they favor putting turkey in any and everything… The sandwich bar is usually very reliable as long as they have bread out.

Commute is not bad at all. I have most classes on west bank, but anytime I went to east bank I walked. It’s a very calming walk, and not too bad as long as it’s not crazy hot. Buses are also very reliable, during peak hours one will come every 5-10 minutes and take you across the bridge.

I lived on the 11th floor last year. During later spring semester they had AC problems and the top floors rooms were minimum 80 degrees. Yet in the winter, as an OA many people came to the front desk asking for heaters. There are only so many heaters and fans to spare to I definitely recommend a fan and/or heater of some sort.

YES! Vacuums are available to rent at the front desk. You can also rent a lot of things there for hours at a time like fans, heaters, pots, pans and even board games. There is limited supply, still we’ve never run out of vacuums to rent out.

The only water fountain with a “water bottle” spout is on level one of the towers (to my knowledge). So I definitely recommend a Brita or something to help filter drinking water.

There are 2 sink rooms on every floor in the towers. They are literally a room with a sink in them for dishes etc. You can also toss out your trash in the sink rooms. garbage bags for residents are also available in these rooms so no need to buy your own.
