I have straight As in my major, and one B. I am pretty sure Im going to get a C for the major course I am taking right now, or even a D. If you were in my position, would you retake the course?
Hey! So I applied to UBs childhood education program and was invited to an interview. Any tips for grad school interviews and how to best prepare for them? Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know where to get those UB long winter coats? I see people wearing them but I’m not sure if they are only for sports teams.
Has anyone taken MTH 335 (Elements of Geometry) with James Faran before? How was your experience with the class? Even if you didn't have James Faran, how was MTH 335 in general?
Hiiii I asked this a couple weeks ago but I need to find a couple more things for my Bio art project, so any pointers are appreciated!
(This is why if you must know)
“ I know this is a really strange question, but I am sampling bacteria from roadkill for my bio art project, and if anyone has seen any it would be a big help so I don’t have to drive around forever”
What areas/neighborhoods are in high demand for students to live off-campus in? Are apartments hard to come by? How many years is on-campus housing guaranteed?
If u take this class currently, pls everyone do the course evaluation. It’s an easy +10 to your grade :D
My roommates are so loud. I can hear their conversations as clear as day through a closed door 8am in the morning. They would not stop slamming the doors. It is like this almost every morning and talking to them does nothing. It’s not like I can go to sleep sooner because they would just stand by the door and talk to guys at 2 am in the morning or are constantly on the phone with family members rly late at night. The best sleep I’ve gotten was during thanksgiving when they were gone. Aside from that, they take morning and night showers and leave toothpaste stains on the bathroom sink when they expect me and my other roommate to clean after them. Me and the other roommate brush our teeth in the semi kitchen sink that we have outside and barely use the bathroom in our quad. Almost every weekend I get woken up to gospel music and preachings of Jesus, like I’m just trying to get some sleep before having to work my minimum wage job. They also complained that their room is too small and won’t be able to fit their fridge in it. They chose that room, they moved in 8am on moving day. So they would leave their fridge in our room and get breakfast 8 in the morning. Before we asked them to move their kettle, they would boil water at 2am when me and other roommate is asleep, and the worst part is that they won’t even drink the water. They would also buy so much fresh fruit and just leave it rotting on top of their fridge until it has to be thrown out. Should I go to the Ra again at this point. I’ve talked to the Ra before, but the issue only gets solved for like two weeks.
Sry for the long rent, got woken up this morning and am just pissed.
Is there any clubs or discord or anything on campus for pokemon go? 276543988982 is my friend code if anyone wants to add
Has anyone taken physics 2 lab before? If so, how did you prepare for the final? I'm trying to get into the highest percentile possible.
Hi, I'm an incoming Master's student for the MS in CSE program. I'm applying for RA's and TA's available at the university. I would appreciate if anyone could share professors or departments that currently have openings for any positions. Thank you.
Where do I go for drop-in advising without appointments? What times are they available and where?
Hello, Winter housing is free this year I got approved to stay. All I had to do was just fill out the winter break request form on the housing portal right ? Also do they charge those little fees like academic fee athletic fee transportation and etc?
Hey guys, I'm an incoming international MS Neuroscience student at UB. I'm looking for accommodation and would like to know how and where to look for them and get in touch with other incoming students. If there are any spring 25 intake group links please do share. I'm an Indian and would like to know if there's any specific GISA page or group for 2025. Also please suggest some specific places or locations that are closer to Jacob's School. Please let me know if any accommodations near the north or south campus are an easy commute to the downtown campus. It'll be really helpful! Thank-you!
They were on the sidewalk from NC to Ellicott (ignore ominous lighting)
Basically what the title says. Anyone have any advice for this course and how difficult was it, specifically if it were to be a winter course? Would it be too much? I got a 100 in calc 1 so I think I'll be fine but I just want to hear from ur guys' experiences
It doesn't say who will be teaching the course afaik
What is this blasphemy! Everybody I know has received their grades back but I still haven’t. It’s been eating me up. I emailed the TA and the professor so let’s wait ! AHH
Its fully remote over winter how doable is it first time taking chem, i need it to transfer into seas for next semester.
I thought I would not have to drop it since I was locking in for midterm 2. Unfortunately, if I get a 100 on the final I end up with a D. Should I beg the professor for quiz retakes and homework redos? For the homework I am on a 60 right now and it is worth 20% of the grade. If the professor allows me to make up the homework I can get it higher. What should I do folks.
Hope everyone is having their cram sessions it with finals coming up! I had a bit of an accident at "The Landing" on November 28th between 5:30pm and midnight. I have seem to have lost my UB card on the 2nd floor (perhaps when I swiped into the door, and tried to shove it into my pocket, it dropped out). Later, when I found it to be missing, I checked the entire 2nd floor and it wasn't there. Asked a few folks who were sitting on the 1st floor and they said that they saw it on the foosball table, but when I checked it seems to have wandered off on its own adventure. I vaguely remember that a few students were playing foosball during those times, perhaps they might've noticed it? (Hint: Name on the UBCard starts with "V")
If you were around and happened to see it or know who might have picked it up, could you let me know? Or if someone turned it into a lost and found, that would be awesome info too! 🙏
I'd really appreciate the help in tracking down this lost card. Getting it replaced is a total headache that I'd rather skip!
For anyone who has taken this please tell me how I can survive the exam about renal system and final. I’m so done with this stupid course and of course there’s a cumulative final.
Is anyone else worried about financial aid in the future with Trump planning to dismantle the Department of Education. Apparently there are possible plans to transfer the responsibility to the Treasury department, but packages still maybe largely effected. Just something that came to mind over break that sparked worry. I don't what I'll do if packages get sliced.
Is anyone having a glitch saying they aren’t able to stay during winter due to their room and how do you bypass this?
Hey i know it’s past the drop deadline but how can i drop classes still? Need a bit of help this is my first semester here
Was planning on living off campus next year, i’ve heard really good things about Axis 360 but wanted to have a few other options as well. Anyone know some other good apartment complex’s with shuttles to campus?
as a biological science (BS) major, am I required to take biochemistry LAB or do I only need the lecture? the curriculum plan implies I can take other lab courses instead, and id much rather take mycology or primate anatomy because biochemistry isn't really an interest of mine. At the same time, taking a lab that coincides with a lecture is probably smart... what do y'all recommend?
Is there any difference between these two courses? Seeing I need MTH 121 as a pre-req for something but that I have MTH 121LR on my transcript.
Taking this as my last pathway.If you took it previously, what is it and how does it go by ??
