Living on campus as sophomore

I am considering living on campus again as a sophomore and getting a single with community bath. I feel like the convenience of being close to classes and not having to worry about food and laundry and groceries will help me focus of being productive. What is it like living in a single? is it lonely or fun? Is living on campus as a sophomore weird?

Advice for 311D with Engler?

Those who have had Engler for 311D are the discussions required? I can’t make them on the days listed for her classes. If they are required I’ll stick with Buskirk who has them on W or F.

Also, I’d appreciate any tips for either of their 311D classes. Who is better, what’s class like, exams, etc… Thanks!

Uteach stem—possible with a double major?

I'm currently a studio art BA, and I'm applying to double major in bio because I am a fan of creatures and plants and their components. For the crime of taking my advisors for their word last summer, I am being forced to take 17 hours next semester. To do that, I need a single hour course-I could take chem ii and the accompanying chem lab, or bio 311D and the 1st Uteach course. It's a 1 hour course, it sounds very cool, and it would definitely help me with what I want to go into. But is it going to be too time intensive? And is thinking I can finish the rest of the program and get the certificate while doing two degrees a pipe dream? How many hours are the following Uteach classes? Would love to hear what y'all's experience with Uteach stem has been like.

How much should I spend on graduation pics?

Hi, I heard the tower will go under construction next semester. Since I’m graduating next May, does anyone know a photographer I could reach out to have my grad pics taken before this semester ends?

Also, what is a reasonable price for a session?

Taking a CS UDE with CS 439

I'm trying to plan out my schedule for next semester and was wondering if anyone had any insight on taking a CS UDE along with 439, specifically I was thinking of taking Neural Networks. Is it doable or kind of a crazy idea?

Can you take PHY 302L after taking PHY 317K?

Hi so I think it is a bit of a stupid question, but on the prerequisite for 302L it says that I need PHY 302K credit. I am taking 317K right now though..
I know that they are literally mentioned but I really can't do this calculus based thing. Is it possible for me to take 302L, or am I stuck with 317L?

Signed my residence hall contract. But I want to live at a different dorm.

So I got my contract today (I'm freshman btw) and I signed it, but on my final application status it says I'm booked for the same room I'm currently staying at? I did select my preferences, but I'm confused why it says I'm booked for the same room and I can't find an option to change this.

I know there is a room change option end of November so should I just leave it? Or call UHD?

What Do I Select For My Renewal Contract?

I can’t include an image of the screen I’m seeing for privacy reasons, but I’m at the final step of my renewal contract and it’s asking me to select my current booking, or the room I’m in right now. I wanna move to a different dorm hall next year, and I know that sign ups for room changes begin in a few weeks, but for now do I select my current room on the menu? I think I’m supposed to wait until a new room choice becomes available, but the menu is implying that I should select my current room now and switch rooms later on. If anyone else is experiencing this while completing their renewal contract, please help.

Insight on spanish placement exam (writing)

I am a native speaker but not great, I learned by speaking to my parents. My biggest drawback is grammar, specifically accent placement in writing. Does anyone have any input on the spanish placement exam, specifically the writing part? Anything I should study?
