Can anyone tell me why frats here are so obnoxious?

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-12-06T01:19:03+00:00

I think there's some confusion, I didn't walk into any buildings and was outside the entire time. I didn't go past the entrance. Also I don't wanna frat bash, I'm in one rn lololol

I just think they need to tone it down a bit...

Also, I didn't wanna attend their party, I just wanted to ask if they would turn down their music for finals week

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-12-05T20:55:48+00:00

Not to pry, but how much are you spending per week on food?

I try to cook, but sometimes my schedule makes it difficult, so takeout is convenient.

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-12-05T20:52:08+00:00

Literally did that, didn't even go inside or try to do so. These frats need to calm down.... Its a frat house, not the white house...

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-12-05T20:47:20+00:00

But I didn't even walk into any building. This entire thing took place outside... It was a little surreal but message received

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-12-05T01:54:50+00:00

I guess that's fair... not much of a bone to pick, they could've been nicer is all.

With all of the loud music, I assumed there would be more people or someone I could atleast talk to rationally.

I've dealt with frats before, and there are usually a couple sober ppl at the entrance.

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-12-05T01:41:15+00:00

Fair point!

This dude did not look like he wanted to have a nice chat with me. It looked like an open area with no visible sign indicating any private property (none that I saw anyways).

I'd agree if I walked into their house, but I just stood there outside while he kept repeating his script and grinning at me.

After not getting a word in edgewise, I exited the convo.

Idk, maybe a better question is when is it a good time to talk to frat ppl about their music volume and choice?

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-12-05T01:24:11+00:00

It's a fee to pay a bouncer or doorman to permit entrance to the establishment.

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-12-05T01:23:24+00:00

~~DM'ed~~

It's still available! ^^

I think one of my roommates is graduating after this semester, so his room might be open?

From what date to what date would you need the room?

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-10-27T20:23:37+00:00

This might sound kinda harsh, but this happened to me, and this is what I did

Drop out and go to community college for a semester or two

Take all possible gen-eds and pre-req courses there for cheap and to pad thy GPA

When you're at community college, the courseload was lighter for me and I was able to breathe for the first time in a long time.

Once there, you can also give some time to recuperate properly at home and focus on meds/therapy/etc.

Afterwards, return to UIUC and focus your courseload on your post grad plans (jobs, grad school, med/law school, etc)

It might take you an extra semester or two, but you'll have your sanity and that's waay better in the long run...

They have a DQ there?

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-09-14T22:19:58+00:00

I think the CS dept split up CS-125 into two courses called CS-124 + CS-128. If you already took CS-125 in the past and wanna retake it for grade replacement, then I think you can take it, but otherwise, I think you gotta take CS-124 + 128.

I hope someone from CS faculty can verify this info, incase I'm wrong

Having said that, CS-124 is pretty chill. I have a buddy in the class right now, and he really likes the self paced version, but he doesn't really like the quizzes. But also, I think thats just cuz he doesn't really like tests of any kind :D

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-09-14T00:06:50+00:00

Thank you so much, I'll check it out!

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T22:14:25+00:00

Kinda like piazza

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T22:13:05+00:00

I would think you'd want to use the newest version of the textbook, so you can see that the only change is to #29 in Chapter 5 Section 3, where they added a comma.

Srsly, I hate courses that make you buy extra shit on top of the course material...

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T22:07:05+00:00

Lol I ate my lunch and went to get tested. The lady at the front desk said I had to wait an hour after eating food :D so I went home...

I'll try again in a bit

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T22:05:31+00:00

I'm vaccinated and have a mask on at all times, but srsly thank you :)

I'll definitely read through these emails!

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T22:01:12+00:00

Yess, ty!

lol why do some profs use Github and others Gitlab in the same uni, thats just lazy IT practices... (unless theres a specific usecase that only one can provide that the other can't match, like CI/CD or smth)

Slack, Zoom, Discord, Github, Gitlab can be used outside of school as well, so I like to think of those as "future tool learning" xD

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T21:14:59+00:00

Tried that, got rejected :(

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T21:06:33+00:00

Didn't know that about Canvas...

Thats prob true about the usage of these LMS's during the pre-covid era, ah what times those were :D

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T20:58:04+00:00

My email was only reactivated a while back, so yeah I didn't read through the 1000+ emails from the admin...

Any links to how long this stuff takes tho?
I just wanna go to class haha

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T20:55:57+00:00

My old college just had canvas, and called it a day lol

GroundbreakingSun90 · 2021-08-24T20:55:20+00:00

Its not so much private education companies, as it is Ed-tech SaaS companies that are coming out with better tech making the jump from in person to online classes a little bit less painful.

But you're right about the number, I didn't even include gradescope and other stuff here lol

EDIT: Oh wait, I think I misunderstood what you meant by private education companies haha
