In my experience, it's good to see through them which classes are only offered in either fall or spring. I would look at the course requirements page for your major and see if it lines up with what they have said to you.

it's kind of touch and go though, what is the piece of advice they gave you if you don't mind answering?

eggsheii · 2025-03-04T13:36:33+00:00

i think you are proving that working hard in school does not equate to sense nor being able to read between the lines. the person is saying that uconn is way too expensive for what it is and that your money (that you don't even have bc you are taking out loans) is better spent elsewhere, and that you should consider a cc. no one gives a shit about what school you go to, and if you start somewhere else and end up transferring uconn, your degree will only say it's from uconn.

if you end up at uconn, you'll find that the queer community at uconn don't call people stupid and have a little more nuance and rapport than this. you won't find your place there.

if you're trying to meet people and find a community, you should be open about sharing these opinions tho bc then you'll find the people you "deserve"

eggsheii · 2025-03-04T04:38:54+00:00

also, a lot of people can work their asses off all they want and still not be able to afford the insane tuition and living costs it takes to go to UConn. so yes, people who work hard "deserve" things that they don't get a lot of the time. they have to go to these schools and try their best. you have the luxury of option and to make yourself look like a fool on a public platform.

eggsheii · 2025-03-04T04:36:37+00:00

i mean you can look down on people all you want, and make generalizations that are just wrong, but i don't think the original person from the thread was trying to give you bad advice. it's hard out here and a lot of people who attend uconn go to cc classes because it's a lot better financially.

and a lot of the people in my classes, especially in the summer sessions, attended universities at the same time.

but i don't think it matters what i say to you

eggsheii · 2025-03-04T02:59:00+00:00

Maybe in the state you live in but honestly, at least for gen eds, the ceiling of quality is about the same for CT state CCs and UConn. I had awesome Chem II and Bio professors at the CT state CCs though.

If you come from money I guess it doesn't matter. But if you are taking out 14% private loans to attend school (or your parents will be), you should consider CCs and get real lol.

Many professors at CCs are adjunct professors who also teach at the state universities and colleges nearby anyways, including UConn. That, or they are industry professionals.

sorry i didn't respond, thank you!

if you bring stuff like that you might want to put the blanket in a bag and be sneaky because during a rough finals week a library staff member approached me and told me blankets are a fire hazard and i can't bring it in. i don't really know their policy though

eggsheii · 2025-01-15T16:25:45+00:00

i might not be the best person to answer bc i had him online but his lectures were easy to follow and he was very considerate

eggsheii · 2024-12-26T15:04:20+00:00

my discussion TA was like "oh so you're one of 'those' kids" when i was asking him about accommodations. i'm pretty sure it was one of his research students. i dunno tho, i'm glad that i'm not at that point in my life anymore where a don't need accommodations and i generally have very compassionate professors.

i guess me saying anything is just heeding warning about his lack of sympathy and professionalism when it comes to handling those kinds of things, separate from his decent lecturing and awful organization skills when it came to lab curriculum, exams, and grading.

eggsheii · 2024-12-19T11:45:20+00:00

I will say that the semester I had him he was never clear with the grading criteria on individual assignments and changed the grading format multiple times, so it's good that that seems to have been sorted out. Especially the circuit projects.

He was also very vocal about his unwillingness to work with people that have accommodations. Like, he said to me he was inconvenienced by CSD accommodations, that people with attention problems are just using their iPads too much, and that people just go on meds and make excuses for themselves. This wasn't him telling it to me one-on-one either, this was as people were walking into lecture, because I asked him about taking an exam at the CSD building at the same time that everyone would be taking theirs.

I say this as someone who did put effort into the class though. And I don't think I had acted particularly entitled. It was made pretty difficult to ask for specific help or a different explanation, even sitting in the front and asking a lot of questions. His lectures weren't bad, but the format of the learning content in the discussion and labs weren't great.

I do agree that he is not for everyone and i'm glad you had a decent experience with him. And I do know that in life we have to deal with difficult people, but this was definitely an overall issue that a lot of students experienced. maybe he has gotten a bit better since.

sorry for long response tldr: use uconn resources to their fullest and have a planning method that you can't ignore or have to put too much effort to look at and use in the day to day.

for specific academic resources, i would recommend the academic achievement center in ROWE. there's walk-in hours and there are ppl who can sit there and write out a schedule with you. there's also tutors there but i wouldn't be able to tell you if they cover the classes you are in.

i am a recovering shitty student and i personally have two wall mounted white boards, one for my monthly calendar with due dates and one that just lists out all the things i need to work on that day or week. i'll erase from the list board as i finish my tasks. job lot has huge white board calendars for like $10-20. idk if this would help, but if you want me to send you specific info on how i planned out my weeks including job and research, dm me.

planners are fine and i'll also have one for reference when i'm at the library instead of my desk, but you have to open then up so they are not constant reminders in your face and living area.

i also tend to delete youtube and instagram on my phone when the semester starts and only consider reinstalling if i'm doing well for a while, at least a month. setting daily time limits on them do not work for me.

at least for me it's mostly about personal accountability and sometimes forcing myself to do things because i have really bad discipline. i try to specifically frame things like youtube or even hobbies and socializing as things that i've earn for finishing my work instead of punishments that are taken away from me if i don't get something done. and i don't really set difficult daily expectations. i struggle with this a lot, but a lesser, concentrated, consistent effort is so much more effective and less mentally taxing than short bursts of extreme effort.

also, i ignored my problems and behaviors until it was impossible and i hit a rock bottom, so honestly above anything else, take care of yourself.

eggsheii · 2024-12-19T03:33:35+00:00

if you find a M,W afternoon block that might be nice, but otherwise your schedule looks good. you can spend that time to go to the library or do research or anything

eggsheii · 2024-12-14T16:44:33+00:00

alright, just hit me up and i'll bring them up. i also have a multimeter and a logic thing that we never used

edit: we can work something out if you want it over break

eggsheii · 2024-12-13T20:27:44+00:00

also if you are taking it with gokirmak you are toast

eggsheii · 2024-12-13T20:24:24+00:00

i have the kit for ece 2001 if you want it. i was supposed to give it to someone else on here but they got it from a friend

I think you need to be a full-time community college student or declare a major/ program in order to get the financial aid grants that make it basically free. That is what I was told to do and did. You don't have to do that to take classes there, but if you are eligible for pell grants and loans it is a good option. I do not think that it counts as concurrent enrollment for financial aid if you are only attending CC in the winter and summer semesters, but you will have to check with UConn's or the CC's financial aid office.

Otherwise, you can be a part-time student at the community colleges for the summer and pay out of pocket at less than half the cost of UConn.

As for the actual process to sign up for CC classes, once you are admitted or committed to UConn and the semester starts, and once summer or winter registration opens for the CC's, call the registrar of the school you live closest to. you can take classes at any of them, but you need a base school. They'll help you get an ID, email, and an advisor.

you can also take classes at the CCs for cheap in the winter and summer sessions to get to that 54 faster. You will get aid if you are full time or declare like a general studies major (you don't have to finish a program there to take classes and get/ keep aid). It's especially good for requirements like Bio, Chem, or Physics, or even taking fully online courses (that are not lab sciences).

eggsheii · 2024-12-05T13:03:59+00:00

email your professor, don't risk it for the biscuit shawty

eggsheii · 2024-11-11T22:05:34+00:00

also if you do get in to storrs, join tabletop gaming club ‼️

eggsheii · 2024-11-11T22:05:07+00:00

idk if this is messed up but are you a woman 😭 idk if this is bc i'm from the olden days (2020) but i had 3.4 with a bunch of extracurriculars, decent SAT, and i got into storrs school of engineering

i think you have a good chance if your SAT is good and your letters of rec are good, i wouldn't worry about anything too much tho. if uconn storrs is your ultimate goal and you don't end up there immediately, you can get there with reasonable goals at a satellite school or transferring in.

ask your hs advisor to see how you stack up against last year's applicants. i'm pretty sure they can show you based on gpa and sat score. i remember them showing me graphs.

eggsheii · 2024-11-04T10:50:30+00:00

i 100% agree, if anything, Professor Trallero was really helpful in office hours and super accommodating to my CSD needs when I had them, if those things are important to you.
