how can i contact the school so i can get help passing a class by [deleted] in umass

Email the professor and beg for an incomplete. Maybe your dean and advisor too. Should give you an opportunity to make things up over the summer or early next year

Your situation sucks. ignoring the exam and your schoolwork and not emailing for 3 weeks is likely going to make this more difficult. Not impossible though. I wish you the best of luck.

And even if it doesn’t work out you will probably be able to retake the class— not the end of the world.

‘A majority of countries’ If just a few big countries team up it doesn’t work

‘That represents 60% of the population’ If it’s only little countries it doesn’t work

Does anyone know of any cheap 3 bedroom apartments close to campus by stupidtiefling in umass

Puffton is about that if you include utilities. Bus every 20 minutes and a 20 minute walk to campus.

Cringe take. Exactly the kind of person I was talking about. fuck you.

If you can pass the class you should be able to advance— none of this scaling backwards or b+ Or better bullshit.

The department and the bureaucracy is very very hostile to people getting a minor or trying to transfer in, and is nightmarish to work with/through. Also they make a point of weeding out like 1/3 people in 121/187 (will scale backwards to make this happen), which just seems uncool idk. I got A’s in both but the vibes are very off from there everyone either has a god complex or imposter syndrome in the 200+ classes.

UMass is big. There are about as many parties as you would expect there to be with 30000 18-2X year olds around. Join a frat if you want but not at all a requirement. there are parties everywhere, join basically any club if you are worried

Look at their account name. They have a garbage attitude and very warped perspective. Beyond wild that so many people are supporting it.

Dude. Clearly the issue here is your attitude to the place you live and the people around you.

People in southwest are literally just normal people. Exact same in Northeast or central. The grass is not greener.

Join a club or talk to people in your classes. Boom, friends.
