heaters
How do you control the heaters in the dorm rooms? I tried to turn my LLC heater on earlier, and I don’t feel any air coming from the vents, even though the display did flash green, is it just broken? Does anyone have any experience with this?

UO vs UVM vs OSU for premed
Trying to decide between UO, University of Vermont, and Ohio State for a biology major and premed track. I would love to be involved in research and want supportive premed advising, ideally with a large community of other premeds. Bonus if it’s reliable snowy!

Is DuckWeb down for anyone else?
Was on DuckWeb last night and the website was down so I figured it must have been maintenance. Went on again today though and it was still down. Anyone else?

Nutcracker Tee
Hi! Im an out of state student and I’m starting to do some Christmas shopping for my family on the east coast. For my dad, I wanted to collect all of the game day tees that the university has been giving out recently since he loves football. Does anyone have the OSU game day shirt in an L or XL they would be willing to part with? I am willing to pay!

How badly does a P/NP + retake for letter grade look for Grad School applications?
I’m most likely going to need to take a P/NP for one of my required courses, and retake it at a later point. I’m confident I’ll be able to get a better grade next go around, but I’m planning on going to Grad School eventually and am very worried how this may look on applications

Pianos?
hii, I’m new to the school and i was just wondering where around campus i can find a piano to just go up to and practice. i only know about the emu and carson ones but there are always a lot of people around those and i don’t want to disturb anyone with my practicing

This campus is incredible
I'm here for work from the University of Maryland for the football game this weekend. I walked to campus to do some homework at the student union this morning and I was blown away.
The main street being closed to vehicles, the bike infrastructure, the abundance of study space, and the green spaces everywhere are awesome. All of the people I've interacted with have been so friendly, too!
Also, if anyone has recommendations for food either downtown or around campus please let me know!

What types of classes are generally offered over summer?
Title. I can’t really find anything on the UO website or DuckWeb. I know there’s generally less classes and mostly lower level gen Ed classes but I’m trying to get a picture of what specifically tends to be offered. Thanks!

Should I transfer here?
Im a pre-med student at SMU majoring in Biochem and I haven't really been liking my experience there so far. Not a big fan of how big the greek life is over here and I hear that U of O has good research (its R1 in comparison to SMU which is R2). I am wondering if it would be a good choice to transfer here even though I am pre-med. Yes I know that Oregon state is better for stem majors and whatnot but I like Eugene more as a city than I do Corvallis.

Forgot to add SSN to common app section.
Anyone else do this emailed admissions office earlier but was wondering if i should do anything else.

If I want to study Fashion Design would applying to the product design major be a good idea?
I want to study fashion marketing and I know that there is a product design major but it might be pointless since it is a major that goes over creating furniture so should I apply?
