    Is this a legit website?

    I found it on handshake, which is an app to help college students (or anyone) find a job. I already applied for an on campus job but it didn’t make me make an account to apply. Only asking because it’s now asking for my ssn, which is a bit odd. The last 4 digits are one thing but the whole ssn? idk, does anyone know anything about this? I guess maybe it could because of the specific job i’m trying to apply for (campus market- student assistant) any help would be great! I don’t want to give my info up unless i know it’s legit :)

    Met a guy at the Single’s Inferno Mixer‼️Help Please‼️

    Hey, I was at the Emory/GT ASO Single Inferno event this Thursday and met an Asian guy who came with his two friends. I was with a friend who was wearing a red coat and had a bob and I was wearing an off-shoulder red top and black pants, and I was super nervous since it was my first time at a club! We talked for a bit, but the music was so loud I could barely hear anything and I didn’t even get his name even though it was like the beginning of the event. Like literally 30 minutes in at like 10:30. I am pretty sure you were wearing like a red jersey with a number but i dont know how much that narrows this down. We got introduced by a friend and you told your friend to come up to me saying you thought I was cute. I thought you were cute too and got really flustered, and I feel bad because I was trying to talk to you but i was just super overwhelmed in the environment. Unfortunately I couldn’t remember much afterwards. I’d love to reconnect if you’re interested—feel free to reach out, even if it’s just to be friends!

    Bolton breakfast on weekends

    Any set schedule for what time Bolton serves breakfast on weekends? I know it says it ends at 11:30 AM, but I’ve seen them serving breakfast as late as 3 PM sometimes. I enjoy being able to eat breakfast after sleeping in a little later on weekends, but I’m just curious if there’s a schedule time I’m missing.

    I asked a worker and they said it’s all-day, but I know thats not true either.

    What’s with the random cops posted on campus?

    They’re just standing on the side of the street, on Hull, Lumpkin, and I just saw one come out of the Fine Arts building. They are all in yellow vests.

    Does anyone know if something is going on on campus or is this part of a regular practice?

    Georgia Tech searchable transferable credits catalog

    hey everyone,

    I made a website that basically shows you what courses transfer over from UGA to GT

    let me know what you think, it's still a work in progress, but any feedback would be great https://evillatoro.github.io/Path2Course/

    I took inspiration from this tool (which is great btw)
    https://www.gt-scheduler.org/

    thank you,
    Edwin

    Anybody trying to help me start an aquarists club?

    Hey y’all, I’m a student tryna start a fish keepers club since the school doesn’t seem to offer anything related to that. The only thing is, however, that I don’t have any aquarist friends to get the 6 members I need to start a club. I love fish keeping and have had many tanks prior to the one I have in my dorm right now. Anybody interested? LMK in the comments.

    Tate free parking

    I know that Tate has free parking after 5, but is that in the lot that says permit only, or is it also in the guest parking lot?

    B.S. In Geography Worth Transferring For?

    (Sorry for any grammar or spelling issues, I'm on mobile.)

    I'm a first year student currently attending UNG and working towards a geospatial science degree. I applied to UGA majoring in geography my senior year of highschool and got accepted, but decided to go to UNG because it was much cheaper for my specific situation.

    I like UNG's program, but there aren't as many opportunities for research or student involvement as I would like. After seeing a lot of my friends' positive experiences with UGA I started worrying if I made the right choice.

    I meet the admissions requirements for transfers, but I'm hesitant because of the much higher cost and how difficult the transfer process can be.

    If anyone has any experience with transferring or the Geography major, I would really appreciate any input you might have.

    Benches

    There's an uneven distribution of benches on this campus. It's so weird. You'll have the bus stop at Tate with zero benches, and then, you'll see Aderhold with benches galore. A surplus of benches. A rather ridiculous amount. Why are they like this?

    Transferring from GSU to UGA

    I'm a freshman at GSU with a 3.4 GPA and 33 credit hours. I wasn't initially planning on attending UGA after I got rejected. But recently in December my father passed and to honor his sacrifice and legacy I thought should go to the top school in Georgia like he wanted me to. What are the chances I get in though? I would be going for Journalism if that changes anything?

    Also, is it hard to navigate UGA as a transfer student? I'm somewhat used to being an outlier given the whole black and gay thing but is there anything particularly difficult regarding academics, finding friends, etc for transfer students?

    What does housing look like for transfer students? Should I be more focused on off-campus housing or trying to get a dorm room?

    Any information would be appreciated and thank you for reading.

    Transfer to UNC or go to UGA

    I am a NC resident recently waitlisted by UNC but I got into UGA early action. I plan to major in Management Information Systems if I went to UGA and get my MSBA my senior year and if I got into UNC I would major in Business and Information Science. I was also deferred from NC State but I’m confident I’ll get in because I changed my major from Industrial Engineering to Business- Information Technology and I’m above the average stats to get into NC State. I was wondering if I should go to NC State and transfer to UNC after a year or just go to UGA in terms of job outcomes and starting salary. Also, I was wondering what the process would be to apply to the business school at UNC if I had to transfer from NC State.

    Here are my high school stats: GPA: 3.83 UW, 4.5 W SAT: 1420

    Running Clubs for Slow Girls?

    Hi all! I just transferred here, and I'm looking for a group of girls to run with that aren't too serious or competitive. I'm mostly looking to make more friends with people around campus and have something to do that's not studying or working.

    If there are any other groups that are active and laidback that would be helpful too! Thanks

    Sooooo, about my refund…

    About how long should i expect to wait for it? They said they would begin the process on January 3rd, just making sure I don’t need to email anyone. Does it usually take this long for some people?

    study away fair size

    hi!!!
    i'm a commuter that drives a big fat amount on tuesdays and thursdays to come to class. the drive usually takes me around an hour and forty five minutes to and from.
    now i am having a HEAVY debate about going to the study away fair tomorrow, and i can't actually figure out how big it's supposed to be. it's the first thing of its nature i'd attend at uga, so i don't know how big or small it's going to be.
    basically i would LOVE if someone could tell me a bit about its size so i can determine rather or not it's worth it to make the drive. thanks in advance :3

    Parking Enforcement

    Sorry if this is dumb and or if it’s already been answered, but does TPS really enforce parking lots until 5pm, or could I park for example at N12 (a lot which is free to any vehicle after 5pm) at 4:30pm and be fine. Or is it all just the luck of the draw?

    Coursicle now syncs assignments from Brightspace at UGA

    Hey everyone, this is Joe, co-founder of Coursicle. We just launched a new feature that lets you keep track of your assignments on Coursicle, including automatic syncing of assignments from Brightspace: https://imgur.com/a/p939bYp

    We know not all professors are good about putting their assignments online so we thought it'd be helpful to have a centralized place where you can see all your assignments organized by class and when they're due, including the ones your professors don't post (you can add those manually to Coursicle): https://imgur.com/a/naP3xme

    Here's a link to try it out: https://www.coursicle.com/uga/?s=reddit

    It's a very new product, so we'd love any feedback you have. We'd like to know what we'd need to change about the task feature that would get you to use it on a daily basis. All Reddit users who give it a try and comment below with feedback will get a free semester of premium. Thank you!

    is there any way i can join a club to get better at ice skating? i was looking at hockey club but idk if they have any beginner friendly groups or if there’s anything i can do to get better. i don’t live near the classic center so i can’t really go all the time, and it’s sort of expensive and stacks up. are there any beginner friendly groups within uga that could help?
