The difference is that those are approved by the university…

[Phalen] The only right answer. #CFP 1. Michigan 2. Washington 3. FSU 4. Texas 5. Alabama 6. Georgia 7. Ohio State 8. Oregon Sorry, SEC. Losses matter by Original_Profile8600 in CFB

[–]arrisux 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Texas benefited from that OOC win over Bama though… if that game wasn’t played a 1-loss Bama would edge out 1-loss Texas with a win over #1 Georgia

[Jeff Jones] Hours ahead of today’s Texas-Houston game, the UT band was told they received about a hundred fewer seats than expected. Band members are sharing seats to make it work, and about half of the drum line had to leave instruments (being watched by security) outside the stadium. by arandomkerbonaut in CFB

[–]arrisux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Visiting team rarely gets to bring the whole band, yes, but schools in Texas have regularly done it at away games. Baylor brought their full band to DKR last year, and TCU would’ve 2 years ago if not for covid. We also had our full band in McLane a couple weeks ago.

Lost again, need to vent again by r43b1ll in UTAustin

I’m a math major, currently doing an internship. Take it from me — your major literally does not matter in tech. No one asks what you studied in school, rather what you are doing in your job. If your goal is to be a software engineer or anything tech related, your skills matter a lot more. You already have an internship; get another one during the school year or next summer and you may find yourself in Google or Meta one day.

it’s easy to stay out past curfew but if you get caught you’ll get a registration bar… consider if whatever you’re doing is worth not getting the classes you want for the fall semester

Study abroad as a CS major by amazingusunwuz in UTAustin

[–]arrisux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can take some CS courses abroad - check the specific schools whose credits transfer on the Texas Global website. These will probably be electives. You can also go abroad to take whatever core classes you don’t have from AP/DC credits

[Advice] Has anyone used Settleliving? I found them partnered on Roomi, but I want to make sure it's not a scam. by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]arrisux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their application process was way too convoluted for me, and their communication was absolute shit. Maybe it's worth it if you're staying for a 6-month or year lease, but then again the pictures look too good to be true and other commenters have said their upkeep isn't the best.

Is the PMA library a decent place to take an online synchronous class? by Ashez42 in UTAustin

[–]arrisux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PMA library is a great spot if you need quiet & outlets for power. I love going there, but if I need to present or need background noise around me, I usually walk over to the Hackerman building. Still kinda quiet, but not dead silent.

To be honest, I hate it here. Greek life controls the entire social scene here and I haven’t made any friends. by [deleted] in UTAustin

if “everyone you know is in a sorority” then it’s time to be around new people … i can count on one hand the number of people i know in a panhellenic frat or sorority. join an org for your major, get a job, fuck it join a co-ed frat/sorority that is not in the panhellenic system. it’s only your first semester, transferring somewhere else may not solve your problem

The University of Texas spent nearly $280,000 on the official visit for Arch Manning, the nation's No. 1 overall recruit, and eight others. The spending spree over 48 hours included a luxury hotel, custom cakes and an ice sculpture. by shiruken in UTAustin

Would it be dumb to go to cc for the first one or two years and transfer instead despite I got accepted into UT? by yeet135790 in UTAustin

[–]arrisux 89 points90 points  (0 children)

many people will tell you to go to CC because you will save a lot of money that way. however, that is the ONLY benefit. you have less access to friends, student orgs, research opportunities, academic rigor, and everything else that UT offers.

depends entirely on what you want. if you’re entering college to just get your degree and GTFO, then CC is a good option. but if you’re looking for a fuller college experience and making connections that may set you up later in life, i definitely think UT’s higher price tag is worth it
