New Group Invitation:

Howdy Red Raiders (and anyone else who snuck in).

Trying to form a new group, Reformed Baptist Fellowship. This one has informal meeting times (we meet whenever, really) but have well defined beliefs (hence the name). This group is basically a traditional church group but without the mandatory buildings and Sunday services. This group is catered to those finding it hard to make time for fellowship or are skeptical / distrustful of the church situation.

Everyone's welcome of course, but all will be challenged to conform to the Bible.

If you got questions, I'll try to answer them promptly and truthfully (I'm Mechanical Engineering, so it may take a bit of time...)

The group's on GroupMe: https://groupme.com/join_group/102417643/P80GyxRt

Other social media outlets will be made in over time, depending on outreach needs and group size and prominence.

Welcome to the group!

Apartment changing lease?

So I just got an email from The Bloc saying they changed the lease and I agree to it??(I didn't) They reduced the utility cap, meaning we have to pay more now. I never agreed to anything. I thought once you signed the lease no one can change it. Is this allowed?

(Ps. My lease says utility cap is $30)

We can't let UT get away with this...

...at least not without a good Texas Tech version also existing. I'm looking for a fellow Red Raider to create an image (a meme, if you will), in which the Masked Rider is thundering down the field on Moo Deng. I am an ancient alumnus who is not technologically inclined enough to do so myself. You can even watermark it with your username (or whatever) to give credit where it's due.

Is it over for me?

I’m a freshman engineering major and after struggling with some personal issues I wasn’t able to go to class for about 2 weeks. I feel like I’m incredibly behind and demotivated to do work and get ahead of my own personal issues, I just wanted to know if it’s still possible for me to pass this year because I’m really worried I won’t make it and I’m just trying my hardest since I’ve come here. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated

Locked out of Microsoft

I’m locked out of all school Microsoft stuff. I assume it’s related to the UMC/TTUHSC ransomware attack, but I’m not affiliated with either of those. Anybody else having issues?

Mathematics/ Computer Science Dual review.

BACKGROUND YAP:

I am willing to apply for TTU for fall 2025. I have few reasons to go there so the major is not my priority. That being said majors are also important and I believe it does carve a path for us in our career and occupation. Now , if i think about what I wanna go for as a career I still don't have answers. But, I feel pretty comfortable about anything related with Maths and Computer science. I do have good command on Python and know how Java and C++ works. I am currently trying to learn how R works too. Knowing my comfort zone I was willing to major in Computer Science. As I know even after the huge traffic going for CS the career options for it is vast and I am willing to go for it whatever it takes. But, the problem is I also wanna go for Maths. It has been my comfort zone even before I knew any programming language. So I was researching if there was a dual program for Maths and CS in TTU and I found it does have it. One more thing to add I am very new to states (6 months)

SKIP TO THIS IF Y'ALL DON'T WANT THE YAP:

I found that under the College of Arts and Sciences TTU offers a dual program for Mathematics and Computer Science. I have seen mix reviews about the Computer Science program. But all of them are from couple of years ago. And I am kind of worried about what actually is going on there. I have heard people saying that I have to work out of school and learn a lot by myself. I am willing to do it, as long as the Maths program is good enough. All I want to know now is what I may go through. Also any other advice will also be great.

I do not have concerns about moving there or anything else other than the major. Also sorry my English isn't good yet.

Thanks in advance.

Wanting to transfer for nursing spring 2025

Hello, I’ve been looking to transfer but I had some issues with other colleges looking at my transcript for nursing. I don’t know if Texas tech’s nursing program has a limit on retake policy because tbh I’m coming from Baylor that transferred to a community college this fall semester. I had an issue with A&P 2401 back at Baylor and they only had one professor which was very unfortunate and he really wasn’t that great. I have 3 total attempts on A&P 2401 and it went like this, first at Baylor, second during the summer at community college (passed with a B), than had to take it again back at Baylor which didn’t go well again with that professor. That is like 3 total attempts. After transferring out I’ve completed Microbio and A&P 2402 with an A in both. As for most other pre reqs I’ve had no issues with those and passed. But I just don’t know if I have the chance to transfer in with my transcripts looking like I’ve took A&P 2401 three times despite having passed with a B in between the two Baylor attempts.

Course planning for ME

Freshmen, first semester currently, taking chem + lab, calc 3, bio design, seminar, and gov. Should’ve taken one more class but advisors prevented me but it is what it is. Looking for advice for next semesters schedule. I’m definitely taking ethics and computational thinking, both prolly online, math 3350 (high engr math), and thermo cause it seems fun and I wanna get ahead. So that’s 12 hours so I need a lil more. Choices are:

ME 2301 (statics)

ECE (gen electrical engr)

ME 2207 (design graphics)

Not sure if they would let me do ME 3311 (material science) or math 3342 (stats) since they’re both junior level classes and I technically will still be in the foundational engineering thing.

Let me know what you think about this schedule, which class/classes should I add to my current plan, any criticism or tips. I appreciate all feedback.

Ttu or txst for cs???

Hi everyone! I’m an international student, and I recently got an offer from both txst and ttu for cs. At txst I got a full tuition scholarship whereas I only got a 4k scholarship from ttu which means I need to pay 8k on tuition alone. Money is scarce but if I take on a job it is manageable. So now I’m at a crossroad where idk if I should join txst or ttu. Please help me. It would be really helpful if you could mention about internships, research opportunities, and the courses at both unis. Where should I go???

ME-3303/4 Jahan Rasty Exams

Hi everyone, I have a midterm for this class coming up, and I'm a bit concerned about the exam since Rasty doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to his test format (at least from what I’ve heard). If anyone has taken Solids with Rasty before, could you let me know how his exams are and if they’re really as tough as other students say? Thanks!

Has anyone done a comprehensive exam for M.S. in Sport Management?

If so, how did you do it? I'm confused. I got to talk about how I met the three objectives below.

1, Demonstrate advanced critical thinking skills when analyzing sport management issues and the ability to make applications of sport management knowledge.

  1. Critically analyze sport management scholarship and case studies and demonstrate practical conclusions in sport management settings.

  2. Demonstrate the knowledge and ability to apply sport leadership and management theories and practices in sport-based projects and understand their application in sport management settings.
