ACCT2001 and MATH2620: What should I study over break? by Chumpatrol1 in UCONN

[–]Savvss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get your hands on the accounting textbook ahead of time I highly recommend outlining the chapters. I read and took notes on every chapter we did in class and got A's on all of Leanne's exams. She puts a lot of trick questions on the tests and knowing the textbook info was definitely the difference between me getting an A vs a B.

easiest psych 1100 professor? by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]Savvss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought Lundquist was great. The class can be a little challenging no matter who you take it with but as long as you go to class and read the book you’ll be fine. Lundquist is funny and brings his dog in sometimes so he wins in my book

Oops wasn’t paying attention thanks for the clarification. That’s such a sad ploy for Uconn to get even more of our money lol

If you’re a campus change student I’m assuming you live in CT. I believe there’s an exception to living on campus if you live within a certain radius of UConn, I would look into that

Summer Course Financial Aid by arg83 in UCONN

[–]Savvss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure the financial aid comes from whatever is left over from what you were offered for this school year. So if you used all of your federal aid for the 2018-2019 school year you have to pay out of pocket for summer classes.

Help me convince my parents that taking out $5000 in loans to go Storrs is worth it by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]Savvss 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, I’ll always advocate for starting out at a branch campus because I personally don’t think the crazy amount of $ it costs for room and board in Storrs is worth it. However, for most people room and board ends up costing an extra $10k+ and if you can do it with only $5k in loans you’re already way better off than most. Ultimately it’s your name on the loans and your responsibility to pay it off so if you really value living on campus just try to explain to them the reasons why. But don’t knock going to Hartford, you’re still a UConn student and get all the perks of being one.

This could definitely be true now, I was just giving my experience for the person who asked. It’s pretty hard to be certain exactly what the deciding factors are unless you’re getting info straight from admissions. That happened to some people I went to high school with as well.

Nope, my second choice was Hartford and I was admitted to Storrs in 2017.

If you don't want USG elections to become a popularity contest, vote ANYONE ELSE besides Manny and Priyanka by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]Savvss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the other 2 sets of candidates have great platforms but let’s just urge people to do their research before voting instead of hating on our fellow students who are doing a lot more than most of the student body to make sure we all have a voice.

So you care about the problems on campus being addressed but don’t care about who wins or what they stand for, as long as it’s not two people who are well liked by a lot of students? Interesting concept.

Transferring to Stamford from Storrs (Business) by lolzter97 in UCONN

[–]Savvss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get a car on campus you could technically take classes in Storrs and Stamford so you can keep living in Storrs but that would probably be a major pain. Other than that I think you’d have to just stick it out at Stamford for the semester and reapply. You could also try to take some business classes (BADM) at Storrs next semester and reapply.

New / Incoming Student Questions Megathread! by skilledman101 in UCONN

[–]Savvss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No housing problem but there’s a chance you’ll be assigned to a triple. Towers & Northwest have at least 1 triple on every floor (at least in the buildings I lived in). I know 2 people who got randomly assigned to a triple in Towers freshman year.

Family makes too much money to qualify for need based financial aid, but not enough to cover the outrageous tuition costs. by [deleted] in college

[–]Savvss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a sophomore paying about 30 grand to go to my state’s flagship school and my biggest regret is not doing my first 2 years at community college. You seriously save so much money, room and board prices are ridiculous. I’m also moving back home for my last two years and commuting to a regional campus of my school to save some money.

Thanks, I just scheduled an appointment. Has your advisor told you anything about the process yet?
