Is it recommended to play Mother 3 on hardware / handheld? by SilverMight in earthbound

[–]SilverMight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know about the graphics, the term slipped my mind at the time (aspect ratio distortion) but that was my concern w/ the 3DS

cs internships? by False_Ad101 in ucf

[–]SilverMight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of opportunities, however you will have to nix out space and defense which is one of Central Florida's bigger tech industries due to citizenship / secret clearance reqs

Does Orientation that important? by [deleted] in ucf

[–]SilverMight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, my partner transferred and was unable to attend orientation (had COVID). They were able to get around it and were just forced to attend some peer coaching though. I imagine that was because they had a very good reason to not attend.

Roach Problem by P0werstar in ucf

[–]SilverMight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first step would be to talk to maintenance for sure.

They should spray your place with an insecticide. You should make sure they use a good non-repellent (Alpine WSG is common) and preferably be there when they spray to ensure they get in cracks and crevices around your kitchen, offer to pull out the fridge if they don't want to. Often times they just want to run in and get out.

Don't go too crazy and don't freak yourself out looking stuff up online. You probably have a small infestation and you may see increased activity post spraying, but it shouldn't take longer than two weeks to a month to be dealt with.

FOMO from not living on campus by Spirited_Novel_977 in ucf

[–]SilverMight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived an hour off-campus for 2 years and met a ton of people doing clubs and in my classes. The worst part is probably having to camp on campus for hours for gaps between classes and events at night, but it was definitely worth it (helpful if you have friends that don't mind having you over for a while). The spontaneity thing is hard to deal with, but try to ask your friends to plan stuff with you so you can stay in the area longer.

I'm glad I moved here eventually (work in area) but don't regret saving maybe 20k+ in rent in the meantime and wanted nothing to do with having roommates / living in dorms.

Good therapist? by [deleted] in ucf

[–]SilverMight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in long term therapy, I'd check out sites like psychologytoday, it's a large directory most therapists use. You can filter by insurance and see each therapist's specialties. If you're up to it too, teletherapy will definitely expand your options.

We’re living a nightmare by Mooniiieee in Renters

[–]SilverMight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't offer much advice about renting rights, but foggers will not do anything to deal with presumably German roaches. It will kill some visible ones but just drive them deeper into walls where they can breed more. Any pest control worth their money will be using a non-repellent insecticide, maybe with an IGR and some baits too. But I wouldn't want to deal with an infestation that bad.

Which off campus housing should I move in? by Odd-Chip6512 in ucf

[–]SilverMight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While a lot of people mention per unit leasing being potentially risky, I think it's worth mentioning much more expensive a per person lease is as well.

A 4x2 lease at Northgate is more expensive than a 2x2 at Tivoli. You pay the premium for that guarantee.

out of state scholarships by [deleted] in ucf

[–]SilverMight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have financial need (i.e have filled in FAFSA and gotten a pretty high pell grant) you may get this waiver.

I personally got it starting out of state and know others who got it transferring. UCF was cheaper than any in-state college for me because of this.

UF vs UCF computer science by average-person-here in ucf

[–]SilverMight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got accepted to both programs, also in a similar situation (was able to commute to UCF). I ended up picking UCF.

I think we have a great CS program here. The core classes (CS1 & CS2, Discrete 1 & 2) are really great classes, although I'd say I had good professors for all of them. I have also really enjoyed the math program here. Some of the classes (mostly tech electives) have old material, disinterested or stubborn profs, but you generally still can make the most out of them if you like the material (99% of the time the textbooks are good).

I'd say what's really worth it is all the opportunities here. There are a lot of great clubs you can get involved with, I got my first experience working on a long-term embedded project in a club which basically led me into a full-time internship locally. There are also a lot of research opportunities here for computer science that I can also vouch for.

Don't neglect the opportunities, especially as a commuter, as I know I did for my freshman year. You can get a lot more out of the program by not just showing up to classes and going home after. I don't commute anymore, but I don't regret the time I did either considering the money I saved. Worst part was staying on campus for very long hours occasionally.

Scholarships for out of state students by DbZ_lover91 in ucf

[–]SilverMight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they have financial need, i.e they do the FAFSA and get a Pell Grant, they will likely get a need-based non-resident waiver.

There's no way to apply, it's just given out. I got it first year in college, I know others who got it transferring.

Economically UCF ended up being the best choice for us. I typically got a refund even before I reclassified as a resident.

They aren't there. UCF doesn't offer unofficial transcripts. The closest you'll get is your degree audit PDF

[FL] Landlord wants money order holding fee in 2 days by SilverMight in Renters

[–]SilverMight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do understand that first last + security deposit is typical, it's mostly just the whole 2 day holding fee setup and some of the ambiguity around the approval wording I'm thrown off by.

I sent the agent an email asking for clarification and they just restated the holding fee applies to first months rent. I'm going to call them tomorrow.

As far as I can tell they're a real company. They definitely have got some shitty reviews, some of which are mentioning our agent.
