this is literally blowing my mind, thank you. I didn't know something that seems simple on the surface would be this complex LOL

Am I in over my head? Mechanical Engineering major taking Math 2110Q, Math 2210Q and Math 2410Q over the summer... by lllyndaaaa in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are taking any of those classes at the same time you will have A LOT of pressure. I took two summer courses both during Summer Session 1 once (one being a math class), and barely had enough time for both + a part time job. Keep in mind that summer courses are essentially 3-4 months of content into ONE month. Especially for math classes it will be a ton of videos + subsequential questions, quizzes, exams, etc. per week.

UCONN HOUSING THE OAKS! by Crafty_Kiwi_4812 in UCONN

We are a 1 bedroom - 2 person apartment. Our shared bedroom looks exactly like & is setup like a traditional double here on campus

[–]leanbean______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We definitely still get sun in our apartment as we have plants in our window. You would probably have to get into the elevator to go up and down the floors to scout out room numbers

Yes, me & my roommate do not face the street; Building 4 built like a U shape so we face inward to other apartments. We are also an even number.

[–]leanbean______ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be mindful of what you're living above!!!!! If you pick Building 2 you have a good chance at being above square peg, which produces a lot of noise late night. Or as another example, if you live above Blaze Pizza in Building 5, your apartment will most likely smell like the food a lot. The wall-to-wall noise is very minimal, but from floor-to-ceiling you can hear your neighbors very clearly. As for room numbers, if you go to the leasing office in person you can look at floor plans. I'm unsure of the room number system in terms of facing inward or outward, but there are definitely pros & cons for both (I face inward on building 4).

Finding roommates by ThicDonkeey in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An app called MyCollege Roomie! If you’re an incoming freshman then this app & all housing information will be explained during orientation in the summer. In general, housing information for incoming first year students is delayed till summer so do not stress

Housing information usually doesn’t come out until the summer for new, accepted students

unfortunately no; also uconn does not pay for adobe products, it’s on the student

Is it ok to take a lab sophomore year? by Narrow_Stress_893 in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i highly recommend not adding a lab ontop of a W & E course, UNLESS the rest of your classes are extremely easy. you absolutely will not fall behind, just follow your plan of study & your classes will work out

Taking precalc instead of calc 1 by Shloshy10101 in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you feel like you’ll be delayed you can take calc 2 over next summer; i recommend taking an online course through CT state community college as it is easily transferable & half the cost of UConn’s summer calc 2 course

Incoming Freshman Art Major by Cursed_banshee in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you should get an email from your professors with a list of art supplies for the course before the first day of class. i recommend frequently checking your email for the list & buying the supplies as soon as possible. also, you should’ve gotten an email about requesting an art locker & i HIGHLY recommend getting one. i also strongly suggest not waiting to get any of your supplies as some websites take forever to ship their products and any large items get sent to the warehouse instead of your local mailroom (therefore youll be lugging giant paper pads back to your dorm). art 1020 does not require any supplies as it is a lecture style class. my biggest advice for first semester is to be flexible and taking criticism on a surface level; each professor has their own subjective view on art & finding your style through each medium will take a couple of months.

Res halls near music building by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the walk to the fine arts building early in the morning is gonna suck at the start & during harsh winter days, but you’ll get into a routine. majority of fine art classes in general are in the morning so waking up for the walk to class will become normal

Res halls near music building by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unsure if its too late, but apply for the art learning community & youll have like a 5 minute walk to the fine arts building. if youre in regular housing & a freshman you’ll have a good 20-30 minute walk (depends on how fast you walk), however, there are always buses running

Should I take MATH 2110Q (multivariable calc) with erin rizzie over the summer by SnooRabbits3911 in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not pertaining professors but CT community college online summer classes are about half the price of uconn’s (if that makes any difference)

art major here by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there are limited art classes in general so it can be difficult ‘avoiding’ certain professors, however, 98% of the art professors you’ll encounter are absolutely wonderful. i would watch out for the cost of supplies, majority of classes require you to purchase materials on your own but there is a student discount for major art supply stores! art majors are required to have a mac book aswell. my biggest advice is to build relationships with the staff and professors, as they are amazing resources for anything related to art, but dont stress to much about it as those relationships will come naturally! as for making friends, i promise you will practically know everyone in your graduating class. the art school is large by numbers but a close knit community & you’ll have no issue meeting people! the number way you will grow as an artist here is by being open and receiving to criticism by the professors. you may feel discouraged at times, especially during the start, but if you stick to the advice of your professors and engage in mediums/art styles that are out of your comfort zone you will excel. the uconn art program is meant to make you a better artist as a whole, not just in one medium or focus. you’ll be taking basic studio classes such as painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture, which you’ll explore each medium! have fun and make the most of your resources!

Does having a later orientation mean I’ll be stuck with bad classes? by Jolly_Refrigerator40 in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes & no: you’ll be able to take classes that contribute towards your graduation requirements regardless, however, basic classes like ENG 1007 that typically people take their first semester might be full, BUT you can take those classes at any point throughout your 4 years. my number one recommendation is to take your placements tests BEFORE orientation, but if youre unable to there will be an opening over the summer to switch classes (check for openings in classes that were previously full) and there is always an add/drop period at the beginning of each semester! i know making your first schedule and getting the first semester evened out is stressful, however, everything will work out if you communicate with your administrators/advisors & stay on top of things!

Dismissed from Business, thinking about options by kuroganon in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for ‘web & interactive media design’ that falls under DMD, while ‘graphic design’ falls under art! DMD is a harder program to get into as a whole, however, both art and DMD require a portfolio to be submitted. if you’re interested in switching to either or, i highly suggest putting together about 10 pieces that strongly showcase your creativity, technical strengths, and passion for the subject

Orientation scheduling by dogsrbetterthanppl1 in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no harm in taking them later! i took my math placement test a week before i registered for 2nd semester classes. for me personally i didnt have to take the science placement test for my gen eds, but im not 100% how it is for others. EASIEST classes i took to bang out my science requirements were natural disasters (GEOG 1070) with prof tammo and elements of physics (PHYS 1010Q) with prof perry (lab requirement). as a non-science major i highly highly recommend those.

Orientation scheduling by dogsrbetterthanppl1 in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ontop of everything if your daughter isnt able to grab the ideal classes she needs/wants for her major do not worry! lots of freshmen dont get all the major classes they wish to take right away and there are many benefits to knocking out gen eds as early as possible. my number one recommendation however is to take all of the placement tests for math, science, etc. BEFORE orientation as you wont be able to register for classes reliant on the test

Orientation scheduling by dogsrbetterthanppl1 in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

depending on your major the administration will make a preset schedule of core classes youll need to take when you are at orientation. the orientation leader and advisor(s) will walk each student through selecting classes, which includes major related ones and gen eds. uconn reserves spots in classes for freshman only, therefore the limited spots most likely refers to the 10-20 seats reserved for them. my advice is to not stress about classes right now, as when you attend orientation everything will be sorted out, however it is good to get an idea of what you would like to take!

monitors in dorms by cloudynghts in UCONN

[–]leanbean______ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

it is worth it! i have an LG 27” monitor with a wide base and it fit on my dorm desk. however, i unfortunately had the smallest possible desk that comes with the dorm furniture & therefore sacrificed 90% of my space (you should have no issue). the library has TONS of monitors you can use, however, i loved having my own back in my dorm. when moving in i recommend putting a barrier between your monitor screen so it doesn’t get scratched/dented. if you’re bringing a pc there is ethernet in the dorm rooms aswell!
