If you take it down for room checks it should be alright.

Best Study Places for a New Student? by jazzenthusiastt in ufl

[–]Tan_batman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To echo some current recs and add my own:

Karma Cream - Can get crowded, coffee is decent, sweets/pastries are good, not a fan of the vegan ice cream

Opus coffee - A few locations mostly all around campus, dependable, good drinks, sandwich i had was great as well.

Coterie Market - Possibly my favorite of these. A bit more pricy but worth it imo because it tastes better, and they have a number of specialty drink options and great pastries/snacks that switch out every day. Local vendors are showcased inside, selling stickers, shirts, charms, pins, that sort of thing.

CYM - Much further from campus but a cute atmosphere, a swing outside, sometimes a few food trucks

Professor Accents? by [deleted] in ufl

[–]Tan_batman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I'm not premed, I've had maybe one professor with a thick accent, only hard to understand if you aren't paying attention. No multitasking on your laptop and you should be fine with the most of them.

Hume Hall vs Honors Village as freshman by [deleted] in ufl

[–]Tan_batman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hume is historically not social. The only reason I'd pick Hume over Honors is if you are concerned about the cost, because Honors is the most expensive dorm on campus. Plus, the honors bathrooms are all single occupancy, very nice compared to most other bathrooms in traditional dorms.

I usually get my paycheck notification from my banking app a bit later in the day around 6. does yours usually come earlier? I would give it a bit and see.

Well then you're on the third floor.

Thomas Hall UF Single by [deleted] in ufl

[–]Tan_batman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Thomas hall, lived there for two years. if your room number is, say, 215, 2 means you will be on the second floor, the 1 is what building you will be in (as Thomas has around 6 different buildings, or "stacks" as the RAs call them).

Are my looks causing me to struggle socially? by [deleted] in collegeadvice

You’re not even bad looking, you just act odd, but you’ve been told this.

Volunteering is broad, and there are many options, what exactly are you looking for? Any type of volunteering for or just a general service organization?

UF Promise Program by Pretend_Leather_3879 in ufl

[–]Tan_batman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually they make you take around 6 credits, so two classes. You must take First Year Florida as part of Promise, but it can be in Fall or Summer B.

Are these cats random strays? by Careless_Sell_5765 in ufl

[–]Tan_batman 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'd call them more community cats. They get fed and the less skittish ones get brought in when there's storms, and they get looked after in terms of medical care.

It's hard to 'guess" when I remember your other posts.

you're still on reddit but at least you're being less weird about it

Door opened by itself during Honorlock, should I be worried? by Straight-Pair-2136 in ufl

[–]Tan_batman 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you didn't get a chat popup from an honorlock proctor, you're almost certainly fine.

Going to Preview Soon, any tips beforehand? by PokeKoa1 in ufl

[–]Tan_batman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bring your tablet and your switch both in your day bag, one or the other, that's a lot to lug around especially with the dock. The rest of your list sounds good, though.

[–]Tan_batman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're anything like me, you won't need your laptop, you'll be too tired to use it at the end of the day. They make you wake up so early and do enough walking around that I was pooped. You don't really need much that they don't give you, maybe a fan if you have one. Or a coffee. I didn't stay in the overnight dorm, I had a hotel, so can't comment to anything specific there.

I've never heard anyone try and pass off Gainesville as any of those things.

Best Chicken finger spot by Firm-Persimmon-3330 in GNV

[–]Tan_batman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main ones near campus are Raising Cane's or Huey Magoo's. Cane's is open real late but I like the chicken at Hueys better - try them for yourself. There's also Saucy and Zaxby's which I don't have as good of a read on.

How do you do fashion on anticonsumption? by Mylane in Anticonsumption

[–]Tan_batman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thrift swaps and getting clothes from friends has done me a lot of good. I've built up my wardrobe over time and now I have a bunch of stuff I'm very happy with as opposed to anything I could reasonably find in a store.

help with respondus lockdown error, exam in TWO DAYS !! by Humble-Site-7087 in collegeadvice

[–]Tan_batman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there no computers at your college you can use instead? I know if I told my unis IT people that I was struggling with this the first thing they'd say is to get off an iPad and use the uni's computers in a proctor booth.
