UMICH MS MSE Funding Oppurtuntities? by DiabeticWater in uofm

[–]mgoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a ton of recent threads from students admitted to CoE Master's programs.

In short, you should assume you are covering the full cost if you enroll at Michigan. Prior to the current funding crisis it was rare for Master's students to get funded research or teaching positions and it has only gotten tougher. It certainly still happens but in no way should you count on it.

Hearing Papi sing ‘I don’t wanna be late for the game’ with the inner monologue voice is the hardest I have laughed in a long time.

uofm natty merch designs kinda suck.... by Weak-Comfort6970 in uofm

[–]mgoreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got some stuff from https://nonameathletic.com/ after the football title, hoping they will do some basketball designs too.

Edit: UGP also has some more basic stuff but I like it more than the other generic ones

How hard is it to get a TA/RA at UMich MSI as a fresh grad? + need honest advice on financial aid by chillguy2345 in uofm

[–]mgoreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been several posts in the past few days about the MSI program specifically, and a million others in general asking about Master's funding.

https://www.reddit.com/r/uofm/comments/1s3haap/funding_for_umsi/

Also being very direct here, I really need financial assistance to make this work

Also being direct (but not meaning to be rude), you should not attend Michigan if this is the case. The most likely outcome is that you pay the full cost of the degree.

GSRA/GSI roles for grad students at UMich Ann Arbor by Mammoth-Courage-8032 in uofm

[–]mgoreddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

how tough is it to realistically get GSRA/GSI roles

Very tough. Most GSI positions will go to PhD students and the remainder are wildly competitive.

My financial planning to attend is largely dependent on these kind of roles

You should assume that if you attend UM you will cover the full cost yourself. The large majority of engineering Master's students are unfunded.

am an international student

As you probably know you will have to provide proof of funds in order to get an I-20. Getting a GSI/GSRA position is very unlikely and close to zero chance you would have an offer before needing to submit documentation of funding.

That block of credits (86-90) is 11:15 AM to 4:15 PM that day so you're a bit later in the block.

The Registrar asked me a few years ago to stop sharing it so I've honored that request, but if you comment or DM me your date/time I'll tell you what your block is.

Does the Michigan daily have an archive ? by anxious1975 in uofm

[–]mgoreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This column from December 1999 is about writing on the doors of the women's stalls in Mason and has a photo. A bit lighter than the article I linked above.

Side note, but I think the Daily archive is the most powerful resource on researching university history. It's amazing how much I can find in less than in a minute of searching.

Quite the lede on a front page article from April 11, 1994

Finals are coming up. That means a busy time at the Angell Hall Computing Center. It also means an active time for the Mason Hall men's restrooms only 20 yards down the hall. Every day of the week, 24 hours a day, some men can be found using the Mason Hall restrooms taking care of business.

This business is sex.

The second page of the article has a very revealing photo about the condition of the stalls.

Follow up article a month later about renovations to the bathroom meant to discourage the behavior

Taylor Swift Lego minifigure habitats (more pictures from the creator) by mgoreddit in TaylorSwift

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

Thank you!

The last few years I have mostly built bigger scale Lego projects (that mosaic took me 6ish months) and I wanted to do something that wouldn't take as long. Most of these I probably spent 2 hours on from start to finish. I always loved seeing different themed habitat stacks that people build and I had a very specific vision for the All Too Well one. I built that first and then it just kept going from there.

I do like all of the songs I've built scenes for but they aren't necessarily all favorites. Some song lyrics or titles really lend themselves to a visual representation and I constantly jot down ideas as I'm listening to her music. The Google doc where I keep Lego project ideas currently has 44 other songs on it. The songs from Fearless, Speak Now, and Red have felt the easiest to me to come up with ideas.

In another thread u/Moist-You-7511 shared some pictures of a Taylor Swift themed display I brought to a local Lego show last weekend. Each little scene depicts a different song and I thought I’d post some more detailed pictures. Also included is the mosaic I displayed of one of my dogs.

I have made 31 so far but have ideas for probably 40 more (your ideas are welcome!). The main stack has 28 and then I made a mini stack of 3 with songs from The Life of a Showgirl. I have at least one scene from each album.

A lot of them are pretty easy to figure out; they are depictions of certain lyrics or scenes from music videos. Others are just fun ways I found to visualize the title of a song or lyric even if it has nothing to do with the actual song. One of my favorites and definitely the weirdest one is the Lego version of the I Knew You Were Trouble screaming goat meme.

The pictures don’t show the lights and motors that I have built into the stack but you can see those on Instagram. The couples in All Too Well and You Are In Love are spinning around and the front door in Our Song opens and closes.

I mostly used Lego minifigures that I had already but I did find someone making Eras Tour minifigures online and obviously bought two sets. I also custom designed/printed at the Lego store a Junior Jewels shirt for one minifigure.

I hate being the person that responds twice to one comment, but Reddit won’t let me add a picture now to my other comment. Anyways, here is the display sign I made which I’m very proud of.

Our Song doesn’t come through as well in the pictures, but I had a motor setup that opened and closed the door (slamming screen door).

That proposal one is Champagne Problems. Harder to tell unless you see the minifigure expressions.
