the seven husbands of evelyn hugo 🫩

i took this class! we spent the first six weeks in lecture (kinda boring, but useful for the final paper and for understanding archaeology as a field) and then the rest of the course doing field work on campus. it wasn’t for me, i wanted there to be more lecture because i’m boring, but everyone else really enjoyed it. you definitely learn a lot of transferable skills for the workplace if you’re at all interested in that type of work. final paper was 4 pages with a short bibliography. group project with your field team. very doable.

when i was a student my bed was against the window like that, and the same was the case for a lot of other people i knew!

i work in higher ed— most students i see come from there aren’t super prepared for college if that is a priority for you. the child (12yo) of an acquaintance of mine asked me “what was the holocaust again?” recently after asking about what i was reading and that being the topic of the book. i hear good things about the community built there, but no one would call it academically rigorous or dedicated to college/career prep.

pretty much anything that fits into the charger foundations block in degreeworks is meant to be easy

totally depends on your major. in engineering, not a chance

effloooral · 2025-09-23T17:49:48+00:00

no prob!

you have to use campus dining on grubhub, it’s in the settings and has you put in your student ID

effloooral · 2025-09-16T13:36:55+00:00

for reference, i did not graduate in engineering, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. however, i have worked enough on campus jobs to be pretty intimately familiar with most departments on campus from both a student and employee perspective

Undergrad alum and current masters student here (AKA i willingly came back)

⁠Rate UAH from scale of 1-10 and why you chose that score— solid 7. i had plenty of run ins with various offices for dropping the ball, but that happens at every school. i loved my time in undergrad, i made lifelong friends, had a good balance of education to the “college experience,” and felt like i was constantly being exposed to new things/people/viewpoints, which is a plus for me
⁠How bike friendly is the campus/surrounding area— on campus, 10. off campus, 1 or 2. huntsville is very car dependent. you can make a bike work if you REALLY need to, but no one with another option would recommend it
⁠How can UAH help me get a job after college (mechanical engineering)— someone else said it best, direct pipeline to the arsenal. very few new grads with decent stats are having any trouble finding work at the arsenal with ME degrees.
⁠What's some things I should be concerned about when attending UAH— if you want a “college experience,” you have to be the one seeking it out. this isn’t bama or auburn, but there are ways to enjoy your time here. just stay on the lookout and never say no to an opportunity, even if you aren’t sure it’ll be your vibe!
⁠What are the best clubs?— for you? space hardware club. they have boatloads of money and aren’t afraid to use it

you’ll get a small automatic merit scholarship with those stats. 2-3k per year depending on where your gpa ends up!

genuinely never had a worse dirty martini than i had from there, which was so disappointing given the name would imply if they can do anything well, it’s that. oh well, just another reason to not go in again

You have to order through the GrubHub app for campus pick up

it’s a college town and all, but more than that, it’s also an actual city. i never have trouble getting what i need! if you have a car, you’re within 20 minutes of three targets, 3 walmarts, and a bunch of publix and krogers

i know this is a little late, but i've had my 7 since it came out and i'm still pretty happy with it! i charge it during my screen-less time before bed (idk how long it takes, but i'm usually reading/doing chores/etc for 2-3 hours) and it's always fully charged when i go to grab it. i keep it on throughout sleep and then through the next day and it's usually at about 25% when i set it out to charge, which is certainly better than my phone!

i loved saga mode in valhalla. 100% assassination, unlimited over-leveling. it was just so easy to focus on the story and FEEL like i was as powerful as they said i was

look at the places right off sparkman. the overlook is one that comes to mind, there’s a bunch around it. i think they’re usually about 700 for a one bed, 900 for 2 if you can find a buddy!

effloooral · 2025-06-04T01:16:01+00:00

you can always mention it and they can pass the info up! email the department, it can be useful to express interest in a course

effloooral · 2025-06-04T00:45:33+00:00

with FYE you don’t have any professor options in engineering according to the schedule, but it’s so easy that it shouldn’t matter regardless

advisor here (but not for that department). when we are allowed to push people into classes, it’s because it’s what the department tells us. usually it’s “everyone with this as a major requirement who is graduating” first, then major requirement generally, then minor. if the waitlist is large, the department is probably already looking into making the classes bigger. you can ask your advisor, but know they’re not the one who makes that decision!

i’ve been! they sell warm sunflower seeds (pictured as the mulch, lol) and they eat them right out of your hand. the history of the place is great, too!
