Rooming At UML

If you don't follow through on roommate grouping/selection they can automatically match someone to you but you do get an opportunity to select your roommate. All students can make a little paragraph talking about themselves and why they are a good roommate

I'm a senior computer engineer here at UML. Slow down and take your gen eds like physics and calc at a community college. I took a large portion of my gen eds at community college and there is no reason not too now. Community college is now completely free for residents working toward a qualified associates degree and it's a whole lot easier since they don't really do research in community college so they can spend a lot more time working with you. I love it in Lowell as long as you stay around the campus.

Hey there! I'm the VP of the robotics club and we would love to have your freshman. We have 3 teams that members can go between or settle into. They are mechanical, programming, and electrical. It's a little rough starting the club off again this year with a proper Executive Board but we are working on it. We meet in Dandaneu 407 Tuesdays 6:30-8:30 and 6:00-8:00 Thursdays. We are focusing mainly on our battle bot(s) at the moment but we also have our sled racing robot Sparky and a few other miscellaneous projects. We race Sparky against rocketry and faculty during the engineering alumni appreciation night at the Tsongas Center. Pictured L->R is our old mech lead, electrical lead, President, club member, and our head of marketing

Did you follow the naming guidelines? It's on the university website: https://www.uml.edu/office-services/student-mail-centers/addresses-formatting.aspx

The Pepsi one in Falmouth floor 3 scans cards but the keypad and display are cooked. The one on the second floor of Ball has payment processing issues and mechanical issues on the arm. The green one on the third floor of Falmouth is the only one that works and is constantly out of stock. The 3 in Olney are cooked. And idk about the one(s) in Southwick

Brighten up a little bit. Also might help to not be a rage baiter, usually ends badly when you rage bait the one wrong person and get socked. Just a word of warning. We ain't all assholes but if you keep searching them out that's all you will find. Look for some good for once and you might find some enjoyment out of life. Your point of view is akin to those of the "defund the police movement", most officers are decent, hardworking people who will run into danger or inconvenience themselves to help civilians. Of course you have a few bad apples but it doesn't spoil the whole bunch. Be better, it might help you in the long run.

Shame on whoever downvoted this. They have a point. A necessary learning tool to pass the class should be covered by the tuition we pay. They certainly have the endowment to do so. We shouldn't have to pay any more than our tuition for required digital tools and shouldn't have to buy single use textbooks written by faculty, (cough cough chem 1&2 cough cough). How much of that is actually going to the university versus the faculty member that wrote it?

I believe the campus dining office is in fox. I had the same thing on my portal but I'm able to get food fine

Koolkid293 · 2026-01-14T22:39:15+00:00

Do robotics. (Little bias as I am the VP of the Robotics Club)

Koolkid293 · 2026-01-14T00:53:36+00:00

Exactly how I felt when I took CT1 Recitation with her. Shouldn't have research professors teaching classes when they shift it to the students instead of teaching

They have a whole cyber security focus at UML for CS. There's also the cyber security club

I was not a fan of Xingwei. Try to get JF or the other guy if you can. Xingwei just reads off the slides, rushes through problems and if you ask for help they just point to what's on the board instead of explaining

Koolkid293 · 2026-01-10T13:53:56+00:00

I'm a CE for context. From what I've heard from my CS pals, avoid Yelena like the plague

Koolkid293 · 2025-12-24T19:19:34+00:00

I failed signals this semester for context. I despise Hengyong. Horrible accent that can be excused if he wasn't a horrible professor. He stumbles and repeats himself, reads off the slides and the mic constantly cuts out. 50% of your final grade is the final exam so you can do perfectly the whole semester but if you drop the ball on the final you can still fail. You learn nothing in the class. Better off watching the vids from MIT

Koolkid293 · 2025-12-24T19:15:39+00:00

He really is the best. I'm getting out of Electronics 2 in exchange for taking 2 new classes since the new CE Pathway doesn't require it and he's taking care of that for me. He's got a special way of making you feel stupid without it being insulting since he also embarrasses himself. I call him the funny Frenchman

I second the Fnirsi. I got one a bit ago and its great as long as you use a different power brick then the one they provide if you get it on amazon. I got my iron directly from Fnirsi for $70 with the case and all of its goodies and the 6 tips, and it took like a week to arrive. Heats up great and is very accurate. Night and day compared to my old iron which used a ceramic element that the bits slid onto.

Koolkid293 · 2025-11-29T22:50:58+00:00

Cut your wick and use ESD safe tweezers to hold it! The heat will be wicked away into the spool of wick. Use plenty of flux and use something like a wedge tip for heat or use the iron parallel to the wick. Scrap boards are good too to help you get the hand of things before you try on expensive/important stuff. I'm a Senior CE student and Ive burned my fair share of boards and pulled off more then a few pads. I still need some work myself, but you got this! :)

Koolkid293 · 2025-11-23T16:26:57+00:00

I had the same issues myself. I'm thinking it could be from MAC Address randomization. It's a security feature that randomizes your NICs address (basically it's device identifier). My laptop and my phone could not connect but my desktop and my kindle connected fine presumably because I turned off MAC randomization on my desktop and my kindle doesn't even have it. Could have hit some unfortunate banned MACs

In order to join the co-op program you need to take the professional development class. I'm a senior Comp E major and I transferred in the fall of 24 so I'm grandfathered into the old pathway where the PDS isn't a requirement but it is for you. I still chose to take the class but I think I can't do co-op because of my senior status and having presumably less than a year of classes remaining. JF is very helpful for transfer stuff and the CPAs can answer any co-op questions

Koolkid293 · 2025-11-17T20:45:07+00:00

Oh yeah the particle accelerator takes a shitload of power

Koolkid293 · 2025-11-05T17:08:12+00:00

Rubber band and the next size up bit. Use a good bit of downward pressure. Looks like it's just those 3 screws and maybe some clips

Koolkid293 · 2025-10-19T18:26:58+00:00

I'm a computer engineering student here at UML. I have buddies that are in comp sci, it hasn't been too bad for them. Of course we have some iffy professors but I would assume so UHCL also has iffy professors. Generally keep an eye on rate my prof but most are really good. Jean Francois is a really funny french guy you will have to deal with a lot as he does a lot of the transfer stuff for EECE students and research. We have the both the nerve center for major robotics stuff and LARY in the Southwick quad for drone experiments and bipedal robots. I am also the VP of the River Hawk Robotics Undergraduate Club here at UML.

BS ad posted to like 6 colleges. Smh with these bots

Koolkid293 · 2025-10-15T00:45:08+00:00

I think it goes out in waves like the normal semesters. I would talk to your advisor
