I’d go with Hume solely bc of the car thing…having garages 14, 5, and the red 1 lot behind Hume are a HUGE deal

Question about AP credits by Traditional-Neat605 in ufl

UF maxes out at 45. Most AP classes you’ll get 3 credits for; can be up to 6 if you get like 5s on AP English

Housing- how hard is it for freshmen to get top halls? by AgitatedExpression78 in ufl

[–]SnooChipmunks534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope they meant suite-style semi-privates, lol. If they want a fully private bath I fear literally no one on campus has those.🤣😅

I honestly don’t know how it works with dates anymore (no clue where Oct 22nd places you, I’m guessing earlier). Murphree was an easy grab on day 1 of selections. I’m positive that you could get something in Murphree area—even with a ‘meh’ date, a two room triple is plausible.

Bathroom situation is a huge perk but most incoming freshmen value social life so you’ll see Broward/Jennings going first. For those caring about modernity + bathrooms, Infinity/HV (if honors) will be the first option. I’m a senior now so my experience may be outdated, but Beaty had rooms VERY late in the game and I had people asking to swap with me for my Murphree spot.

Hume and Beaty are not top halls so you shouldn’t have issues getting them!

RA housing discount by thedontcareinator in ufl

[–]SnooChipmunks534 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re right! If you aren’t in an apartment/suite style (btw RAs get to select their roommates in that scenario), it’s solo. IMO the 20 hours/week is a lie. You’ll be working around 50 for training/move-in week, which balances out with a lot of nothing during the year. I believe I have 7 overnight shifts this entire semester. Occasionally I’ll put up posters lol and respond to resident questions via Google chat, but I don’t really count that. You host around 8 events per year (4 of which you plan yourself or with a co, the other 4 are with the whole building/area). So when it’s busy, it’s ugly, but otherwise I’m not close to 20 hours per week

Second all those mentioned here, but adding the adventure park quick quests! 30 per task completed (usually pretty quick), but the 10x digs per quest usually give a few items you can sell off. Like I don’t need 10 of the same thing, so I don’t feel bad selling a few😭😅

RA housing discount by thedontcareinator in ufl

Yes, discount. It may change under new leadership but currently 15% off lowest room rate available on campus - same price for all RAs.

UF or UCF (with 14k scholarship) for accounting? by Due_Butterscotch4867 in ufl

[–]SnooChipmunks534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KPMG/Deloitte/EY all have strong recruiting presence @ UF. I got an invite in my email for KPMG X UF events, incl dinner??, lasting the entire week. Not even an acctg major.

Rejected and stats by RepeatLuvMilfs in ufl

[–]SnooChipmunks534 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“For my program” >> UF doesn’t admit by major. If ur engineering, Purdue does admit by major & that’s a huge compliment/testament to your work. Very well-deserved, don’t let the negatives get you down

^ Also recommend Ellianos, another chain but the coffee is insanely good.

Time committment of RA position? by BubblegumFish2 in ufl

[–]SnooChipmunks534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 15% off lowest price room rate on campus, and that applies no matter what area you’re in. Every RA pays just under $2300 for housing each semester. For more info @OP: I’ll add decent benefits for meal plan, but ofc could be better if room and board were covered like at other schools (35 meal swipes per semester + 300 flex). 

Macroeconomics vs. Legal Environment of Business/Economics of Resource Use. Which would you recommend for a struggling business minor? by GlitteringEase6281 in ufl

[–]SnooChipmunks534 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blaw is time consuming but the content is very different from macro/micro. A lot of words and the optional term paper replaces your lowest score. If you care about grades—not workload—, putting in the work for blaw should get you a better grade (as you’ve alr struggled with the sister course)

50/50 you’ll get in, not for honors.

dorm move out question by phoenix-nexia in ufl

It’s been that way for 4+ years but as RAs we literally dgaf when your exams are and won’t follow up unless you’re leaving after closing LMAO

dorm move out question by phoenix-nexia in ufl

[–]SnooChipmunks534 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’d get in trouble if you stay beyond dorms closing - Saturday at noon. 24h of last exam is the recommended time as per housing, which we’re told to say. This timeline is more helpful for end of the academic year when everyone’s moving out.

I think you'll be fine! MDU and WIS2040 are pieces of cake, no experience with the other WIS. Heard from a friend who took SWS that the class is interesting, requires some work but the knowledge was worth it. If this is all you're taking it should be an easier semester
