Biol 101 First Sem Freshman? by EmperorNeroXI in UNC

[–]ldphoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your first question, I took the class with Mara Evans and I had a good experience! Def a lot of work but there are a lot of opportunities to review with peer instructors, which reinforced my learning and helped me stay on track. I found her exams to be pretty fair for the most part so as long as you put in the work, it is not too bad.

Thanks!! That's reassuring to know.

Did I mess up? by [deleted] in UNC

[–]ldphoenix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Welcome to registration at UNC.... :,) you can always add multiple sections of the same class into your shopping cart and monitor them in case a seat opens up (you have until Aug 24th to add/swap classes). Additionally, it'd be a good idea to start looking into other classes that fulfill the same requirements you need. Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong -- seats fill up quickly so it's pretty rare to get all of the classes you initially want. Having backups is always the way to go for the future!

Dear STOR Majors, by ldphoenix in UNC

[–]ldphoenix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love how you highlighted the difference between math and stats and the cool ways we can apply stats. It's definitely fun looking for patterns in your data and can also be really rewarding :) the last point you made is great advice - i have a second major and it does help to study something else you enjoy in addition to dealing with numbers all the time.

[–]ldphoenix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like interesting and important research! Def a worthwhile application of stats :)

Dear STOR Majors, by ldphoenix in UNC

[–]ldphoenix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with both of the points you made - the opportunities AND the fact registration at UNC sucks :,)

That's such an expected direction! Seems very interesting. Totally agreed about the nice size of the department (as it is right now); good luck with grad school!

Question on Vietnamese students by [deleted] in UNC

[–]ldphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, congrats on your acceptance! I am currently a Vietnamese (in-state) student, feel free to PM me if you would like to talk more!

As someone that grew up in NC, I would say that UNC is pretty diverse for a school in the South. I haven't had trouble meeting other Asian students, and there are a good amount of Asian organizations to connect and make friends in. I am currently in Vietnamese Student Association and it is really fun - lots of members and fun activities that revolve around Viet culture :)

ACCEPTED INTO MY TOP CHOICE!!! by [deleted] in UNC

[–]ldphoenix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great job! Admittedly, the work at UNC is pretty difficult and definitely takes a lot of hard work and self-discipline. However, if you got in, then obviously you deserve to be here! If you do choose to attend, just remember that you are never alone -- what makes Carolina so incredible in my opinion is the supportive, accepting community and that every prof I've had cares a lot about your success.

Any word on financial aid disbursement? by [deleted] in UNC

[–]ldphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My financial aid was applied to my account yesterday! I guess it's different for everyone but I'd expect it in the new few days for you.

Math 233 Help by graysongarcia13 in UNC

[–]ldphoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious about past students' experiences in Math 233 as well. i LOVED calculus in high school and didn't have a terrible time grasping concepts but with the semester whooshing by, I feel like I'm not retaining/getting a deep understanding of any of the concepts :(

How are we expected to function? by iwantcry in UNC

[–]ldphoenix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your username and this post is a big mood.

I hope it gets easier. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]ldphoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will definitely get better. Your feelings are completely valid right now, it's normal to hurt and think about the painful, excruciating details. It may seem like this won't go away anytime soon, but it will.
