Is anyone else having issues with the GradApp ???

I've been recently admitted to the University of Eller (Ms.Accounting) and I was about to upgrade to NETID/WEBAUTH LOGIN and suddenly it's not logging in. Is anyone going through the same situation?

Major/Minor in Real Estate/Finance?

I’m changing my major to finance and want to minor in something related. What do you think about the finance major? Hard/easy? Etc.

Those of you who minored or majored in real estate, is it worth it? Do you think it’s better to work in the field without education/experience? I plan to pursue real estate during college.

What minor would you recommend? Any thoughts or opinions would be helpful.

Reverberations of the Trump executive orders at the U of A?

Hi there. The Trump administration's memo freezing grants and loans was rescinded, but I'm hearing that it's still having reverberations. For example, federal grants that pay the salaries of some postdocs or student researchers are now considered risky or endangered, meaning they have to find paying work from another source. Also hearing of other grants and hires frozen for other reasons, some relating to the defunding of "DEI" and "Green New Deal." What are you all experiencing or hearing?

BTW, I ask because I am a local journalist working on a piece about the impacts of the executive orders. Feel free to email me at tsteller@tucson.com

Experience Pharmaceutical Science MS

I am considering entering the program, but I am curious about people's general experience with the program. What was good about it, what would be the things that need to be changed? This is my first time posting to the subreddit, so I apologize if this is not the norm on here.

PhD Stipends and cost of living

Edit: PhD in computer science. Also how do fellowships or TAships or RAships work?

Can someone please guide about how much the stipend in UofA is, whats the tax value is, and how much you get to keep in pocket. Any other money you can earn from elsewhere on f1 visa, or does the University apply with things like money to be spent on books etc.

Thanks.

Any student in optical college?

I am a 12th grade international student who is interested in photonics. I am now admitted by Virginia Tech ECE and UA optics, and UA has awarded me the scholarship which is more than 60k USD. I heard that the graduate program of Wyant college of optical sciences is great. I am not sure what is the situation in undergraduate program. Is it worth to spend my four years in Tucson instead of going to another university to get an electrical engineering bachelor’s degree? I am ready to study for a PhD, and I want to do something that really changes the world (like researching in photonic and electronic hybrid chips), and not get a mediocre salary in my rest lifetime.

Question about the 2FA

Hello, I am a prospective student. I would like to know how you’re able to access the classes? Is it duo 2FA? I would like to be able to access my classes when I do not have my phone and having hard-written codes would be very useful. Please let me know!

Minimum wage for student workers

As of January 1, the minimum wage for employers within Tucson went up to $15/hr. This doesn't apply to the State of Arizona as an employer, so the university's minimum wage for student workers is the state's minimum wage $14.70/hr. Student workers who are still making that minimum can get a 30 cent raise by working pretty much anywhere else in town.

Housing suggestions freshie (G.I. bill info also helpful but not needed)

If anyone has a GI Bill you’d be of great help but any help is good help.

-I am not sure how much I will have for housing but I’m pretty sure it’s $$$. Also, I am out of state

-I am majoring in animal science and I will not have a car so location wise what is best

-As regards to everything else I don’t mind having a roommate but I don’t want to be in a huge party dorm but I definitely want to have fun. Also, do all dorms have washer and dryer? If not I would want to be in a dorm that has one.

When should I have a signed lease for off campus housing?

Hello everyone!
Rising junior here. I have lived the past two years on campus and have had the most rotten luck with finding kind people to live with. This year my roomate had some behavioral issues that have been immensely degrading to myself.

As such, I am hoping to get a place alone in the fall. However, I am uncertain when I need to start searching and/or when I need to have a lease signed by.

Do any of you have experience? Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

Lost wallet on campus

Hey all, I lost my wallet on campus yesterday somewhere between University blvd and the library, tried calling UAPD lost and found, the library’s, and some of the businesses on University, no dice. Idk if anyone has any other suggestions, or if by some miracle one of y’all found it, but at this point I’m just stressed out about it.

Don't want your student fees going to political or religious groups?

You may have noticed a recent email from student government that mentions club funding. If you click and fill out the form (link below) you can choose to withhold the fees you pay as a student going to certain clubs (up to 3) you may disagree with.

https://url.usb.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/zCH0CN7oVgIZV1yRJU4hVSyujri?domain=arizona.campusgroups.com

Whatever you choose, this is a way to exercise your right to boycott groups that don't align with your views as an educated and paying college student.

Is U at Park safe?

My daughter is looking at moving in with some friends to The U at Park next fall. She said her share is $800/month with utilities which is reasonable IF it is safe for her and her property. Any experience?
