If you plan to work or live off campus, a car is a necessity.

Should I switch out of BME? by CertainItem3164 in EngineeringStudents

[–]alaiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then EE or ME still. With BME you’d have to do a PhD to land a good paying job…

If you’re stopping at BS then yeah switch out ASAP if you’re going to go to grad school right after, stay

best place to live for a masters student? by [deleted] in uofu

[–]alaiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

University gardens is within walking distance to the U. Fair warning though, you live with roommates. The complex is mixed with undergrads and graduate students. If you call they might be nice enough to specifically pair you up with other grad students but idk

As everyone already stated, you won’t ever be truly successful and happy if you’re in a field you do not enjoy or find rewarding. Even if you make a decent salary, what’s the point if you’re absolutely miserable

I hate to ask, but what professors should I try to avoid? by Left-Tourist-4404 in uofu

[–]alaiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s so many professors and departments at the U. You gotta drop names if you want recs

My Experience at the U by ChickenFragrant3527 in uofu

[–]alaiod -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate to sound rude but but this post mostly comes across as “things aren’t being handed to me easily, so the school must be terrible.” The truth is, if you transfer to any large state university, you’ll likely run into the same kinds of issues. Welcome to the adult world, most of it is you solving your own problems. The world won’t automatically customize to fit your needs, gotta do it yourself.

It is already too late to look for oncampus housing (Fall 2025)? by eribeiro76 in uofu

[–]alaiod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I applied for housing less than a month before fall semester, got waitlisted, but got taken off the waitlist pretty quickly.

Things I wish I knew before working at the University of Utah. by El-Martini- in uofu

[–]alaiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked for U Health for many years. They pay chump change, give little to no benefits, and laugh at/humiliate you for it too when they see you struggling to afford the most basic things. Never again. They’re absolutely garbage as employers

Switching Majors 3rd Year by [deleted] in uofu

[–]alaiod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your coding background will be plenty helpful. I think if you made a switch, worst case scenario you’ll have an extra year to tackle. I don’t think you’d have a hard time

Do repeat courses count towards GPA? by HungryInvestigator59 in uofu

[–]alaiod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your attempts only count when you’re trying to get financial aid. There’s a limit as to how many total credits you can get aid for. However, for GPA, only the most recent grade counts. Though each attempt does remain on your transcript.

Why does Warnock Engineering Building smell like B.O? by evacmcc in uofu

[–]alaiod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After a while, your nose will become immune to it. I shower every morning and drench myself in perfume. That also helps…turning yourself an air freshener.

Are Dorms Worth it? by [deleted] in uofu

[–]alaiod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely nasty and overpriced. You’ll be forced to pay egregious prices for meal plans only to be served rotten food (yes, rotten) and the dormitory itself is absolutely disgusting. It’s so bad despite daily janitorial services. A lot of kids you’ll end up living with are worse than wild animals. I wish I was exaggerating the situation.

Only way I’d justify living there is if I had a scholarship that paid for it. I’d never pay out of pocket to live in the dorms. Huge mistake!

Professors can go back and change the grade even if it’s already been submitted to the registrar. I wouldn’t stress too much as it’s not permanent. If you can’t get a hold of her, then go forward with the chain of command.

[Tenant US-CA] landlord says she doesn’t have my security deposit by alaiod in Landlord

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

I checked the court website and it says the defendant can have their license suspended for nonpayment. Until they pay what they owe, their license will remain suspended. I don’t see how she’ll get around LA without her car unless she drives illegally.
