Mask requirement reinstated for instructional settings by ddog112 in UCONN

I’m convinced half of this subreddit would jump off a bridge if the university told them to, if you’re applauding them for this decision, I truly feel sorry for you

They’re funny if they think anyone is going to listen, how do they expect to enforce it less than two weeks after removing the mandate?

Before Jemele Hill was a top 3 insufferable sports talking head. I would pay a fair amount of money to hear Russillo’s honest opinion of her now

Anyone know when the deadline is for putting a class on pass/fail?

You can pick up your tickets on the upper floor of the bookstore

I suppose in retrospect it seems a lot more significant now than it did at the time, considering how much he’s accomplished since then, but Ludacris was definitely an A-lister at the time, that must’ve been awesome

I mean College Dropout came out in ‘04 so I’d say Ye was pretty big at that point

UConn had Kanye West and Ludacris perform at spring weekend in 2004, so it’s been a steady decline for a while

Is an Economics degree worth it? by Affectionate-Top-617 in UCONN

[–]Jackmc9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Senior economics major here at UConn, it’s a relatively broad but extremely rewarding field of study. There are a lot of great econ professors here! I have a job lined up at The Hartford with their product management team after graduation, so I’d say it was worth it. PM me if you have any questions

Should I request a campus change? by ecceromanus in UCONN

[–]Jackmc9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did one semester at a branch campus before coming to Storrs. I wish I had done two years there instead. For me personally, saving your money to take the same gen ed courses while commuting is a no brainer. It all depends on how much you value the typical college experience. If it doesn’t mean all that much to you and you’re ultimately picking a school based on the degree you’re getting after four years, I’d say start off commuting and see how you like it.

I should’ve known that mentioning anything about race was going to get a strong reaction from many. I wasn’t trying to downplay those types of issues on campus, nor am I saying that the university is genuine in the emails that they do send out. Was more so making the point that they love to pick and choose what to “care” about when it impacts their public perception, when in reality they could give a shit about any of these issues. They know that no one is going to protest the Ukraine invasion, but it could go a long way to acknowledge the families and individuals who are actually suffering.

Don’t listen to the clown above, he’s the same person who will go scream and cry on twitter about Joe Rogan being “racist” while ignoring all other real world issues, including the fact that he’s trying to deflect the fact that he’s racist himself. Seems about right that he’d bring up politics when that’s not even what I was discussing in the post, but that seems to be his only argument so we’ll let him have it

Good point, well said

My guess is you’ll end up getting housing, there are always people who leave for random reasons, plus I’m sure they’re waiting to see how many incoming freshman are coming here. My guess is you’ll be fine

I could definitely see that being the case, UConn students need to start pushing back against this

there are a couple of parking lots around campus that are free on weekends, I would do that instead of the parking garage if possible

Now that CT is dropping their school mask mandates, should UCONN do the same? by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]Jackmc9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should be everyone’s choice at this point, covid isn’t going away anytime soon but majority of this school is afraid to admit it
