I saw some posts saying I can check for my final grade with DAR audit, but it says tentative grades. Should I assume that to be the final grade?

Does anyone drive for doordash or ubereats out here? I’ll be here for the spring semester and I’m wondering if as a side hustle is it good enough? Or would you recommend delivering for someone local.

Thanks.

I’m applying to the engineering school next year. Do you think going test optional is a bad idea if I want to get into the college of engineering?

Sooo hypothetically speaking what happens if you dont apply for graduation. And how late is too late to apply?

I am a freshman in the College of Engineering, and my current first-choice major is Biomedical Engineering. Since coming to VT, I’ve only met two other freshmen with the same first-choice major. I’m curious about how competitive it is to get into this program. Approximately how many seats are available each year?

I was wondering if anyone knew any quiet residence halls on campus. I currently live in Pritchard as part of the Galileo LLC, and although pretty much everyone is an engineering student, it is still fairly loud and distracting. I think it would be pretty beneficial if I could find a more peaceful place to live next year.

Thank you!

Should I take a 5th year? I have semi job plans after college and my degree is basically done but I haven’t made many close friends at all and I didn’t really ever have a college experience I never got to go to friends apartments after class or get lunch with anyone or study with people or anything I’ve been in clubs since freshman year but nothing! It’s been few and far between hanging out with people and doing things. I just feel like I missed the opportunity to make life long friends! I missed the opportunity that I’ll never have again! And I tried I tried HARD!!!

Is there any place on campus or off campus to play badminton?

Are there any good places for Christmas shopping for family? For example, in my home town, there's a walking mall area with a bunch of smaller businesses and notably some "HomeGoods" stores with a bunch of handmade stuff that sell a range of nicknacks and such like mugs, clocks, and interesting decorations. Is there a good area around which stuff like that can be found around Blacksburg or Christiansburg?

I'm really just looking for any unique stores for shopping that I won't find when I travel back for the holidays.

I know the canvas active courses is gone now but one of my courses isn’t even in my past courses section it’s just not there at all. I have every other past course I’ve taken except this one does anyone know what happened?

Hi I'm looking for a ride from Blacksburg to Charlotte airport on Friday December 20th. Will pay for gas.

Guys,does anyone know why all of my courses disappeared from my Canvas dashboard, except ENGE1215 and CHEM1045?

Indian international student here, joining VT next year. I have a few questions for those already in the U.S.:

1. How do you transfer funds from India to the USA? Any recommendations for banks or services?
2. Which bank accounts do you use for daily transactions in the U.S.?
3. What’s the process for health insurance, and what’s the approximate cost?
4. Should I get an International Driver’s Permit before coming? What’s the procedure for obtaining a U.S. driver’s license?

Any tips or advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

I heard that a K-pot opening in Christianburg and I just wanted some confirming

Hello!

I posted this a few days ago with no responses so I am posting it again in hopes of gaining more traction.

This may be a bit of a silly question but I figured I would still ask it nonetheless. For some background I am currently a VCCS student and will be graduating this spring with my Associates in Computer Science, then I plan on transferring to VT in the fall. But due to the increasing over-saturation that I have noticed in the CS field and my growing interests, I have been more inclined to possibly switch into Computer Engineering instead.

However, I have guaranteed admission for Computer Science and not for Computer Engineering. My thinking was I would transfer in as a Computer Science major for the sake of me being guaranteed and switch to Computer Engineering instead the college. Is this a reasonable idea or should I maybe reconsider something else?

Thanks!

Repost: looking for 1-2 more people.

I’m looking to sublease my 3 bedroom house. $1400 total per month so $466 per person. It’s on Roanoke Street so it’s a short walk from downtown and close to campus as well. Dm if interested

Pretty much the title. I'm a senior in high school, and was thinking about joining the cadet corps.

long story short my stem major kicked my ass this semester. anyways, what are easy classes i can take to boost my gpa? i have room to be flexible due to my transfer credit classes so that isn’t a major concern atm.

Is there an electronics lab that MechEs can use? I'm trying to reverse engineer a display I got from the last surplus auction and I don't have the required tools in my apartment. So far I've been able to turn it on with a desktop power supply but I'm not able to talk to the panels at all to make them display anything. The displays appear to use a CAN system but they also have a lot of strange ports like powerCON and some fiber ports.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

To whoever took my 3d print from the Newman Library, count your days. That was supposed to be a Christmas present and I waited over two weeks for it to be ready.

My gpa is on the lower side, I’m wondering what people who have gotten accepted to the corp of cadets had in hs, as Im going to do the corps and wanna know what y’all were like.

Hello,

I am a freshman at Virginia Tech who’s going to be taking physics 2305 next semester and I was wondering if there was anyone(preferably someone who’s taken the class before and gotten an A) who’d be able to tutor me and help solve problems over winter break.

If this is you, please dm me separately and let’s chat.

For anyone who hasn't had him for World Regions or Geography of Wine, now is the time to do so! He, along with Nikki Giovanni (RIP), are the 2 professors I have always said every student should experience.

is the chem final exam hard compared to other chem finals.
