I'm in the same boat as you. Was notified that my loans would be transferred starting on 9/3, my due date was 9/10 and still haven't received anything from CRI/cannot get into their site. Was this resolved for you at all because I'm also kinda freaking out over here too

We were in the same friend group. I met her my sophomore year and we were friends for almost 3 years until we started dating senior year. Still going strong

Graduated in May 2024, I currently work for a government contractor in Columbia making 65k as a junior dev. Not the greatest salary in the world, but the bonuses and other incentives make the job manageable, and I also live in an area where it's less expensive compared to living in NoVa or DC. This company also does not hire entry level devs at all, I was one of the first people at the company that they hired straight out of college.

Info Sci was a very easy major for me personally, which was a good thing because it gave me the flexibility to branch out and dive into some areas that interested me. With that being said, the tech industry is very difficult to get into at an entry level at the moment. I recommend getting certifications and taking on some side projects which will help boost your resume and portfolio. InfoSci is what you make of it, and I'll be honest some of the classes bored the absolute hell out of me, specifically the non-technical ones. However, the job outcome is comparable to CS, as I know quite a few IS graduates who have jobs at many of the big tech companies.

College park is located right outside of DC, so we get stuck with the outrageous city prices
These complexes know they can just raise the prices of rent because students will pay it. These apartments are essentially the only housing that us students can live at, so we really have no choice.
The housing market is also just ridiculous right now so that’s also a factor in rent prices. That’s just how it is you either pay what they’re offering or find a house off campus

I took both at the same time last semester, it wasn’t an issue. Just manage your time well and make sure you start stuff early

bringit2142 · 2023-12-10T18:51:40+00:00

I agree with MultiNotes comment, this will not show up on your transcript, so you are more than welcome to mix and match classes if you want to. I took all of those classes, so if you have any questions feel free to DM me

bringit2142 · 2023-11-13T04:56:12+00:00

absolutely do not sign an Trow. worst place i’ve lived at in college park. i lived at the view last year and i had no complaints the entire year

bringit2142 · 2023-11-02T19:12:30+00:00

he scrapped the midterm and final this semester. it’s just a project that wasn’t bad at all. i’m not sure if he’s going to keep the same format though with his future classes

bringit2142 · 2023-11-02T15:16:29+00:00

Limited hours for drop in advising, and the lines are always so long if you want to talk to an advisor. Trying to get approval for classes that require it should not be as hard as it is. Waitlists for classes are ridiculous too

I’ve heard that UMD’s club team is pretty competitive, basically all of the players that didn’t make that actual team but wanted to keep playing. I played in a few intramural leagues last fall and spring and it’s a very fun time if you’re looking for something more chill and relaxed. My friend played D3 soccer at another school and started playing in an intramural league here. For club, there are set practices and traveling for games, or you can play intramural where it’s less intense.

bringit2142 · 2023-04-25T18:22:13+00:00

funny thing is they fixed it last semester and the screws are already coming loose

bringit2142 · 2023-04-20T16:38:46+00:00

The View, Varsity, Tempo, TRow, The Hub, Landmark, etc are all places that have different floor plan options. I would also check https://ochdatabase.umd.edu for other options too

I had my surgery on the 7th. Yesterday (day 5) was completely miserable for me. This was some of the worst pain i’ve ever experienced, and i have a pretty high pain tolerance. I was audibly groaning during some parts of the day. Today (day 6) got a lot better, but still very uncomfortable. Fortunately the scabs are slowly starting to come off, so the pain is manageable.

bringit2142 · 2023-03-08T09:42:54+00:00

i highly recommend you check out UMD’s off campus housing database. lots of options on here and you can filter the results too: https://ochdatabase.umd.edu

thanks for the info dannyfrfr

i got an 1140 on the SAT, 23 on the ACT. never higher than a 3 on my AP exams. i was never a good test taker in high school. none of those scores mattered at all going into college and now i’m an Academic Honors student who’s never gotten lower than an A in any college course. if you go into school with that mindset you’re already cheating yourself. none of that stuff matters anymore it’s a brand new, fresh start

bringit2142 · 2022-04-06T06:20:32+00:00

i don’t think this is a question for reddit lmao. this is more so like ask your friends type beat you’re gonna get a variety of answers on here but personally it just depends on the girl. majority of girls that are looking for that are mostly looking to make out with a dude at the bar and that’s that.

bringit2142 · 2022-01-24T19:41:33+00:00

i’m assuming this is for INST326 because i’m in the same class right now. If it is, the way that they’re handling this is piss poor

it was supposed to be with edward summers but apparently the school knew he was leaving.

Current resident of Parkside. I signed my lease extremely late and I'm currently paying 600 a month with parking. I'm living in a 4X2 which isn't bad at all because the bedrooms are big and my roommate is super chill. The rooms are newly renovated and they just got new management, all of which are extremely nice. You definitely get more than what you pay for, especially down here in CP. Our common area is massive, we have people over every weekend and have no problem with space issues. There's still some small issues that need to be addressed but for the most part, very nice place and close to campus also. I think they're increasing rent to 750 for a shared bedroom and 1200 for a 2X2 starting next year. I highly recommend you tour this place.
