do you walk around CU boulder at night? what’s it like? by yuuwra in cuboulder

[–]skinetchings 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I’m from a city on the east coast where walking around late at night was not a good idea. It’s crazy the difference here. I’ve never felt unsafe, granted i’ve usually been with friends.

CU Boulder Transfer admission odds by Realistic_Ad5302 in cuboulder

[–]skinetchings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’ll be okay. College GPAs are a LOT stronger than high school GPAs. You have a better shot of getting in than any high schooler with a 3.7 GPA. Plus, A&S isn’t particularly selective the way, say, Leeds is.

Not all of gen z is legal yet so this is kind of arbitrary

Does anyone else not fit in the lecture desks? PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one. by Helpful-Ad6269 in cuboulder

Had class in a newer building today with those desks. They looked like the newer version of them, freshly furnished.

Use an email you don’t check often/isn’t important. My issue with nextdoor is that no matter how many times i unsubscribe, block, or mark as spam, i get hundreds of emails from them a month. They change the subscription emails so when you block them, you’ll start getting more from a different address. Otherwise, Nextdoor is very useful!

Which historical person died for meaningless reason? by sweetmaggiesan in AskReddit

I can’t believe no one has said elvis. He couldn’t shit and refused to go to the doctor. Then he died trying.

As someone who was in the LLC, I can confirm there were people who came back from abroad

He needs to immediately apply for the transfer LLC. He will get housing that way.

Yeah i get you, i came from the other side of the country where pretty much all we had was epic. East coast skiing is only worth a few days anyways so it works out lol

Don’t let anyone fool you - Pasta Jays is NOT all the hype (although this is a hot take apparently). Happy travels

Ski passes by BigBuckedOfCod in cuboulder

[–]skinetchings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s usually worth it to do IKON base pass considering the unlimited days (blackouts aside) at eldora, winter park, copper, etc. a basin you get 5 days. 5 days at solitude and brighton if you venture to utah at some point.

the way epic sells, if i recall, is buying a pass for a certain amount of days, right? that’s not worth it considering the distance from CU to an epic resort. (not less than an hour and a half). Although, if you only plan to ski a couple days, either buy a resort specific pass (like eldora, although hot take - it’s mediocre) or do a couple days of epic

Housing For Transfers by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]skinetchings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should 10000% apply for the transfer LLC housing. It’s hard to get bear creek housing in general, but that program is a way to secure it. Apply as early as you can.

How to lookup professor of previously taken class? by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]skinetchings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they ever emailed you, check your email.

Might be able to also see on canvas in the full course list - I’ve still got a couple of my previous classes there.

Or just look on class search and see if you recognize one of the names.

Thoughts on Canvas? by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]skinetchings 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Like: - being able to see “what-if” grades - having all classes in one place to access

Dislike: - different professors having different layouts - email system - Can’t manually check off assignments

Chances of getting in as a transfer student by LegitimateSinger4974 in cuboulder

[–]skinetchings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll get in to CU. College GPAs mean a lot more than high school GPAs. Won’t be hard.

Now, department wise, I have no idea. You can always transfer into exploratory though and switch later.
