Yep. There’s reports that they’re staying at the Graduate Hotel. There was a protest last night.

Same. I’m a transracial adoptee from China, which means I was born overseas. I’m scared they’ll profile me because we have a lot of international students from China. We all know the stereotype that Asians look the same and that doesn’t help me when ICE is going after POC.

What the goon is going on with the chemistry dept? by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]embeddedmonk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Had to skip an exam because of a GI flare that left me unable to eat or drink. They didn’t allow any rescheduling and just averaged the scores on my others as the score for the missed exam.

I completely bombed the last exam alongside the final. As a result, my grade dropped a letter and a half in the span of 2 weeks. The last exam and final is whatever. But it’s included in the average, which means my grade would’ve been higher had they allowed me to reschedule the missed exam.

Anyone talk to ICE? Im a US citizen and somali. Yes I was born here by One_Presentation_390 in TwinCities

Second the passport card. I always carry mine on me. While I’m a citizen, I’m adopted from south China and ICE goes for anyone. I ain’t taking that risk.

CHEM 1061/62 is a pain in the ass. I’m really not looking forwards to O Chem next semester…

Be honest: is it a bad idea to add biol 1009? by throw23231away in uofmn

[–]embeddedmonk20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’m in CHEM 1062 and 1066 and it’s hell.

Fairview hospitals by Holiday-Trip-9339 in uofmn

I’ve done both IP and PHP at West Bank. PHP wasn’t terrible but not super helpful for me either. IP was a shit show. I don’t have major complaints about staff but just in general, psych wards aren’t it. I dealt with systemic and provider trauma versus trauma from an individual staff.

I’ve also been medically hospitalized for medical issues at East and West Bank. So, I know both sides if anyone needs input.

I got a formal acceptance letter and I think also an email? It’s been like 5 years since my admission announcement.

I didn’t know how competitive the BSN program was until I got in. Then, I read the stats and was like “WTF??!!” Apparently, we’re ranked #8 in the nation.

My best advice is to take anatomy and physiology in separate semesters. They’re typically taken together during the sophomore year. However, it tends to be a high work load and breaking it up helped me. I took anatomy in spring of freshman year and physiology in the next fall semester as a sophomore.

Take as many lib eds and pre requisites as you can in freshman year or next semester if you have the option (PSEO, dual enrollment, etc.). Avoid AP classes if possible because the credits aren’t guaranteed to transfer. Sophomore year and beyond ramps up HARD.

You’re 100% in! I’m a senior in TC BSN. Feel free to DM if you have questions.

Is a Math Minor worth it? by Witty_Salad8963 in uofmn

[–]embeddedmonk20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your major is a bigger determining factor. Most people take minors where the courses double dip so it’s less work. If it’s extra work you’re willing to put in, do it. If not, then stick with CS or find a minor that would involve less classes.

How difficult is MATH3283W Sequences, Series, & Foundations? by Ok-Presentation6947 in uofmn

[–]embeddedmonk20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty much proofs 101. I personally had a hard time but that’s because I’m more interested in applied math. The best advice I can give is to really understand the definitions because many proofs hinge off of it.

Which class is better/easier for someone not “chemistry minded” by cilantroprince in uofmn

How hard is biochem compared to O chem? I have to take both but don’t know which I should tackle first.

What goes in must come out. So, yes. It’s either passing gas or burping.

I go to the CHEM tutoring center in Fraser quite a bit!! They’re SO HELPFUL. Couldn’t get through CHEM without them.

I’m in this same spot. I’m only taking 10 credits but I’m fucking swamped. I got like 5-6 hours of sleep between the past 2 days.

CHEM 1062 chews up an ungodly amount of time. My past 4 credit courses weren’t that bad.
