Any private places to play dnd?

Starting a campaign next week with people I met on campus and was wondering where we could possibly play. I know you can rent out room in the library, but I don’t know if they are soundproof or anything like that. I know there are a bunch of side rooms in the student union but i haven’t fully explored it. So any recommendations would be great!

Last chance to register to vote in Florida

https://amp.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/election/article293524959.html

Every issue in the ballot will be a tight race that could be decided by a handful of voters. Don’t have regrets later: President, Senate, Florida Supreme Court justices who upheld the 15- and 6-week abortion bans, legalized marijuana, and abortion (which needs 60%, and polling at 59%).

Please register and encourage others. Instructions in the linked article above.

Advice - UCF computer science

Son is freshman in high school in Orlando. At the moment wants to go to college and major in computer science and possibly UCF. He talks about doing this attached pathway in high school via dual enrollment. Is this a good idea? Or any drawbacks? Thanks

Hear me out

I am an avid lover of renaissance faires and wish more people would get to experience them in their awesome-ness♥️🤭 Would it be plausible to start an RSO whose main goal is to plan and host an annual renaissance festival? I also feel like it could provide some short term employment for some students during the weekends and we can take volunteers and give hours. We could partner with other organizations like the dnd clubs and maybe artistic clubs who may want to be vendors. I dunno I think it’s cool and would be nice🤷🏽‍♀️. Y’all think peeps would take interest in it??

Internships/Scheduling advice

So as a little preface, I’m a civil engineering major in the midst of my junior year and was thinking of doing an internship for the summer. Originally my plan was to take CEG 4011C and CWR 4202 over the summer, but if I plan to do an internship I feel that it might take up some time and not allow myself a schedule to do so. I know some places want full time for summer and some accept part-time but I would like to be as competitive as I can so I’m thinking of doing 5 classes for spring, and 4 classes for fall instead of my original 3 before graduating by spring 2026. I feel like these five classes are do-able but I’m not sure if I should do them in summer instead. Any thoughts or ideas?

On a side note, even though I’m in civil engineering I prefer the construction aspect (like project engineer, surveying, estimates, sites, etc)and being on the field more so are there any recommendations for places I can apply to possibly intern over the summer?

Thank you if you made it this far and hope you all have a good rest of your semester !

Has anybody's dual enrollment AA covered their GEP yet?

I sent my transcript showing proof of my AA long before the deadline, and it's been confirmed that the school's received it. Do I just gotta wait a while more for it to be properly processed?

Hopefully tag is correct 'cause I'm unsure what else to label this inquiry as

UF vs UCF

I’m interested in engineering (specifically Mechanical or Biomedical) so can anyone explain the differences, pros and cons between each university’s Engineering program. And what are the Engineering programs like?

I also have other questions -

  1. How is campus life and location?

  2. Which do you prefer living, Orlando vs Gainesville?

  3. How expensive is off-campus vs on-campus housing in Orlando vs Gainesville?

  4. Which university is cheaper?

  5. What are the job prospects after graduating?

  6. Which university is more hands on with learning?

  7. Which university offers more internships and connections?

  8. Which program prepared you more

Is it possible to share a dorm with someone who is a year above you?

I know there is some sort of thing where you can match with a roommate in advance, but do they have to be in the same year? How does it work?

Are there any lost and founds on campus ???

My boyfriend got me a water bottle not even a week ago and I left it either in CB2, in the library by the printers, or at one of the shuttle stops I have no clue. I feel horrible and really want it back.

*if anyone finds it, it’s white, metal, has a black lid with a straw, and has a bunch of UCF logos/decor on it

will the fall 2025 nursing traditional cohort be larger?

From the Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion website: “Anticipated to open in Fall 2025, the new building will make a positive impact on the future of nursing with:

2X the space to increase enrollment across nursing degree programs to address the critical nursing shortage” It says anticipated to open in Fall 2025, but does that mean that those applying to the Orlando campus in Feb will get the choice of applying to two separate buildings or is it just one application in general?

Switch Majors mid-semester?

So I know it's kind of late into the semester at this point, we're a good 5 weeks in, but I need to change my major, and pretty drastically too. I'm changing from Biotech (College of Medicine) to Media Management (College of Science/Nicholson School of Communication). Do you think I could talk to an advisor of some sort and weasel my way into some new classes? It's a bit late but I don't want to waste out the remaining 3/4 of the semester. I was thinking of trying to contact the Nicholson School but is there a better person to ask about this stuff? Do I have to tough out these current classes while I wait? Thanks in advance!

Hi, ill be joining next fall as a freshman. Going through the dorms, towers caught my eye cuz of 4/4 rooms. But im not sure how many other freshmen there are at towers. So if i am able to choose that, is living at towers in any way social or not. Also would my roommates be freshmen or of various years.
