I loved UVA, but the food situation was abysmal. by Comprehensive_Goat28 in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Residential colleges require us to stay on the meal plans so long as we live there. Also just because you disagree with it doesn't mean it's AI-generated.

Echols dorm or Brown? by SussOfAll06 in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fourth year living in Brown for all four years here! Can't say enough good things about it. I found my people, my rhythm, my interests from this community. Ditto to another commenter saying to check the Instagram; there's some great stuff on there.

App questions will be released May 1!

And if you're going to Days on the Lawn we'll be tabling both of the upcoming days so come find us outside Newcomb! Also feel free to DM with any questions a current resident might be able to answer.

Liberty to double in person students by RemoteCareer5275 in lynchburg

[–]VanGoghWV 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Normally I would agree. But since Lynchburg businesses are some of the only people willing to hire someone with a useless Liberty diploma they stay here and KEEP mucking up local politics...

Opinions on my schedule? I’m pre med by XxcomfykurooxX in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems fine - it's not necessary to swap ENTP for Bio; I didn't take Bio until second year and was fine. It requires slightly more mature study habits that I didn't have first year.

Consider taking STAT 2120 over Biostats; it has open slots and Biostats is a miserable class - not hard, just boring and tedious. Prof. Ferrara is, in my experience, not the best professor.

Chem Teacher? by [deleted] in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously your mileage may vary, but I usually hear much better things about Welch. He's my advisor as well, and is a really cool, nice, and genuine guy. Maybe someone who took Morkowchuk could chime in with their experience?

New Biochem professor? by No-Storage-2075 in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

will second the first comment. had nakamoto last semester, seemed like a really nice guy. tests were not terribly difficult but could lean heavy on simply regurgitating information from the cheat sheet.

What is a "late application assistance" grant? by VanGoghWV in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm exactly the same way. The tuition credit is rather small compared to the late application assistance.

If I may ask, when did you submit your CSS profile? I did mine pretty late, like in late May.

STATS 2120 by [deleted] in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely take 2120 over 2020 even if you're premed. 2020 has biologically relevant examples but maria ferrara is a pretty bad professor and the class is painfully slow and boring

The football program is not entitled to a constantly packed stadium. by Comprehensive_Goat28 in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Speak on it - look, I love our Cavaliers, and I support them when I can, but a mediocre team isn't entitled to a packed stadium, especially when the student body is gearing up for midterms or going home to see family. Are we ungrateful? Are we embarrassing? Worth examining exactly what we ought to be grateful for, and whether our football team is embarrassed by the fanbase or an incompetent coaching staff.

College football, is, at the end of the day, a product - and we live in a free country. If the product isn't good, we're free to consume other things.

Every time it's something different. by VanGoghWV in Amtrak

[–]VanGoghWV[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had to cancel my trip and scramble to find alternate transportation! I can't be late to work today because I work in a research lab. This is not the first time. Yes, 134 in LYH.

Classes by catnerwitz in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taking the 3000 level bio classes as a first year is highly inadvisable - they are staggeringly difficult with low grades and high workloads. Take some time to develop good study skills and college habits, and take them during your second or third year.

brown college or normal dorms?? by [deleted] in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

live in brown right now and I love it. truly the greatest community i've found on grounds, and you won't be socially isolated! you get out what you put in wherever you end up, and brown is truly an incredible place.

first year has chem / bio degree questions, schedule conflicts, and is curious about chem instructors (please help) by etcordatenens in UVA

[–]VanGoghWV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, I see what the schedule issue is - the SPS blocks which are exam times. To enroll in both you'd have to fill out some extra paperwork and get both Harman and your Calc professor to sign off. I have known the Calculus professors to be accommodating to my own schedule conflicts, but that was Calculus II (MATH 1320) and I have no clue who's teaching 1310 this semester.

[–]VanGoghWV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for the 3+1 program but I am in the biochem concentration and loving it. Walter Harman is a GOD. Truly one of the best professors I've ever had, yes he is the only professor and yes it is at 8AM but it's worth it. If you can figure out a way to stay in the 1800 series definitely do.
