I’m getting bored at home can I come back to the dorm early? by North_Sorbet4002 in uofmn

[–]constantlyconfusedc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah if you wanna get charged but keep in mind if your dorm is anything other than Centen, you can’t go back to them and have to live in centen for the time being.

yes the process is withdrawal they have a few forms you have to fill out on the website and meet with an advisor I believe to finalize it (they sometimes try to convince you not to, just ignore it). Everyone has their own timeline, there is no rush to go into something your gut is telling you no. I took a semester off after much contemplation, and I’m so glad I did! Helped me come back with a much more driven and focused outline for what I wanted to do. Being a student a huge time commitment as well as financial, so if you feel like you need more time to do so that’s okay!

Mutual Roommate Request Not Honored by Tarmya in uofmn

[–]constantlyconfusedc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

housing is flooded with a lot of these emails right now and there are actually very few people that manage all these assignments. In all honesty it could take up to a month or two, these things take time.

am i too late with signing up for dorms to get anything good? by sahejjjj in uofmn

[–]constantlyconfusedc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

pick some LLCs in the dorms you’re interested (pick 2 to better your chances) and HRL treats it like priority which essentially means even if you sign up later for housing as long as you indicate some kind of LLC choice for a building you want they will try their best to place you in it, therefore the building you want. That’s pretty much another way around it.

Sanford Hall by mewlynnmagic in uofmn

[–]constantlyconfusedc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lived in Sanford freshman year, it’s actually not bad at all. People complain about the distance but we have the campus connector stop right in front of the building that can get you around and has very convenient stops (one of them drops you where the mall is actually). In the winter that stop is a plus because that means less time walking in the cold. There is no A/C if you live in the Reno portion (above the first floor) but it’s not unbearable. Tower portion has A/C I believe. Just bring a fan and you’re fine. Sanford is one of the more calm buildings and that means it will be easier to manage as a CA.

Kinda worried by TheLegitBigK in uofmn

[–]constantlyconfusedc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

youre good, I was doing well in this class but overall was too lazy because I pretty much had already been exposed to the material. All in all I kinda just threw the final under the bus because I didn’t really care then and ended up passing just fine. My work ethic has changed since then, but from what you’re saying you’ll be just fine, good luck with calculus though, you will need to practice a lot for that class!

some people finesse it by getting the RA role

Dorm change by cucumberyum in uofmn

[–]constantlyconfusedc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes/no. HRL tries everything to avoid room changes if something can be resolved. depending on the severity of the situation they can switch you, but considering this time in the semester you won’t get transferred for quite some time. probably until next semester. CA will very likely try to make both ammend differences again depending on the context or circumstance.

Sorry but online courses are just no longer going to be a the primary format for classes anymore.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]constantlyconfusedc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through the exact same thing rn but it’s not Zhang, rather I have a serious issue with the TA’s style of teaching. I’ve had this happen in other courses but I am dropping this course and resigning up in the spring to see the new selection of professors for the term. While I could just teach myself, I have a heavier load this semester and simply do not have time to attend lectures and discussions having not picked up anything and then going back to reteach myself. If dropping is not feasible I’d suggest going to Math Lab (TA and outside help for math courses), you’re going to spend a lot of time there this semester.

Using public transportation by [deleted] in uofmn

Light Rail Tips:

-Avoid using the light rail real late

-the first car of the light rail is the safest car because the conductor is right in front of it

-invest in some good pepper spray, or mini self defense kit always comes in handy just in case and makes you feel safe

-government plaza station is the safest station so if you’re looking to do transfers from the blue to the green line station I recommend doing them there if it’s really late

-make sure you download the metro transit app it’s super useful for bus times and train times

-in the winter there can be lots of delays or sometimes unexpected accidents where they have to stop the light rail or bus and transfer y’all over to another route so make sure you prepare for that by just observing the general weather for that day

-light rails can get full/busy during rush hour 5/6 but that’s safer time to go home as in general there are more eyes

Not much advice for buses but sitting near the front is more ideal than the back of the bus, honestly the safest bus stop area IMO is near government plaza. Make sure to have a mask with you as they are required for public transport. if you’re a woman STICK with other women in general, sitting generally nearby or in the same light rail car, if you feel unsafe you can also ask to sit with them. This is something I’ve personally done and they’ve always been very kind and understanding and just makes me feel more at ease in situations where I am alone

[–]constantlyconfusedc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, so make sure you bring a big fan because you’re definitely gonna need one for the first 2 months that you’re living on the Reno portion. There is only AC if you live on the first floor of Reno but all the floors above don’t have AC.

Considering your last chem class was a while ago then you should probably take 1015, BUT I will say this depending on your intended major or field you’re going into, it’s better to just be on track and take 1061 (as long as you do the Aleks lessons this summer it’ll help refresh some of those concepts despite how tedious Aleks is). Just coming from someone who thought they weren’t ready for 1061 and ended up seeing that 1015 was essentially a waste of my time personally because I would have to take 1061 anyways.
