Losing my voice, lots of coughing, struggled to sleep last night because of it. I have about 700-something words left to go… sigh

For people who transferred from community college to a four year school, is it easy to make friends there compared to Community college? I’m at community college and I’m transferring next year but finding it very hard to make friends here. People tell me it’s partly the fact that I’m going to a CC and I hope that it will be better next year. Is it that much easier to make social connections at a four year school and why?

I don’t have any friends, every day is the exact same, and I’m failing courses. It’s a whole semester in and I can’t imagine doing this for 3 and 1/2 more years….. then I’ll need more school because I have a useless degree…

How much is too much?

I have been trying to figure out this science stuff (which was my best subject in highschool) for so long. So much information and study material was flying at me that between this and my job, there wasn't any time to absorb the material. When I got the study guide for my exam, I busted my ass to study. I made flashcards, I reviewed all of the material and memorized it

Half. I knew half of the questions. All that studying, all that stress just to know HALF OF IT. I even had the goddamn study guide to tell me what to review and I still only knew half

I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm likely going to flunk the class. What am I supposed to do?

I’m currently a second year CS student thinking of switching majors to Accounting. I’ve been having second thoughts of whether CS is something I wanna do for the rest of my life and whether the outcome is worth it. I started to have doubts about this career choice half way through the second semester of my first year, but didn’t think much of it and decided to stay. Though after this semester I feel more confident in saying that my passion for CS has diminished. When I was applying for colleges/ universities my senior year of hs, I wanted to do CS because i’d always been curious to how programs work and mostly the technical part. But now I’m still not sure whether I want to switch or not but as we’re coming to the end of the semester, I am leaning more towards switching to accounting. Though I’m worried that I’ll end up regretting my choice whether I switch or not and would like some input on my situation. My grades have dropped this semester even after the hardwork i’ve put in and i feel like i’ve honestly lost passion for it. i’d like some advice on this and info on how accounting is as a major?

So I recently joined this lab on my campus but I haven't really done anything else. I completed the trainings they assigned me, got access to the lab itself via security key, but I'm not sure what to do next ?
context: it's a fluid dynamics based research group but it seems like everything's pretty relaxed somehow

edit: is it weird that I enjoy studying in the lab? It's a really big one so I doubt I'm bothering anyone

The one class I wasn't supposed to fail, I just failed. It'll drop my gpa, my scholarship might be in jeopardy. I had a 4.0 in high school and now I'm stressed tf out. I begged my teacher for quite literally any and every opporutnity, I still procrastinated to the very end. I've never felt this fucking stupid before especially since I've goitten an A the class before in high school. I just, I don't know wtf to do. Im stressed, im panicked, and I feel like a failure. I took on debt, and had to have my mom help since it wasn't even enough to cover everything. I just feel like i failed her, and I'm actually screwed. I don't know wtf im going to do.

Just had an interview with my professor and it went smoothly! We talked about my interests and how my training and etc would work out. As the conversation ended, he said “I’m happy you’re in my lab”. Does that mean i’m in? I think so because our conversation was talking about his plans for the research and how i’ll be able to help. Also, it’s my first researching interview. I’m suspecting I got in but idk and now i’m just really happy bc the interview went well!

I want to work as a Crime Analyst for the state of California or the state of Washington. Would a Criminal Justice Degree or Psychology Degree with a little Criminal Justice focus better? All advice is appreciated.

I'm a freshman and I'm going home for a month soon (for winter break). I miss my family but I feel like it's going to be a tough transition because I'm going to have to return to following my parents rules and dealing with them nagging. Anyone have any advice to make this a smoother, more enjoyable time?

I am seriously considering this tbh and I just wanted to know if someone else has this experience if you're in a school that offers it. And for those that considered it but decided against it to commit to a university, what helped you make that decision?

I have heard on TikTok that a community college bachelor's is still very different than a university degree and will be treated very differently in general because a community college bachelor's is "practical". Can anyone confirm?

I personally feel like it would be the better option for me no matter what because I never really cared for university culture (dorms, college sports, Greek life) or name recognition, neither do my parents because they never went to college anyway. Nothing against it, I just personally can't imagine myself participating so I can't justify putting money into it.

I go to one of the best community college systems in America and have already attended 2 out of 9 colleges so transferring once more and having it be just another community college is not a problem at all. Also most of the universities in my state are WIDELY known to be party schools so even if I did go the traditional way and transfer to uni, I'm worried I'd still be mocked either way for getting my degree from a party school, so even if I technically had name recognition, I am not sure if it would be positive or negative.

I'm also an IT major, so as far as I know, people in the field will most likely focus more on what certifications I have instead.

What are your thoughts on this? Obviously there's nothing wrong with university if you really do have a passion for college sports, dorms, partying, and the name recognition. I don't blame you, if you get the offer, you should definitely go. I just personally really love the community college system in my state and am so comfortable with it that I just see no point in changing anything about it.

really starting to regret it. are prestige and school culture really all that?

at the very least, if i didnt like ucla, i wouldve been much easier to transfer from ucla -> ucsd than ucsd -> ucla.

i dunno

I'm 27 and trying to figure out a career path. I want to get into medical imaging, like X-ray tech, ultrasound tech etc. When I Google this, it says you just need an associate of applied science but when I look for online degrees for applied science it's not listed in any college. I can't find that any further information on how to apply for this program. No college around me offers the 2 year medical imaging degree either, the closest one I found was 3 hours away which is unrealistic. I need some guidance on finding an online program to become an imaging tech.

This is obscure and I know it’s not super helpful but I figured I’d just ask! I want a degree that will let me be in the woods study plants or bugs or just be in the woods to help preserve it or maybe study what we can eat? I don’t know what to pick at this point. I’d love to have my job actually be in the woods!

How is everyone doing at the end of the semester? I have a final exam tomorrow and every time I try to study I just don’t care. I’ve been taking science and math heavy courses all year and now I have no motivation. General chemistry 2 exam tomorrow and I am overwhelmed going over every single module from the whole semester

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to apply for an Applied Bachelor’s in Computer Science in Spain, and I came across Harbour Space University. However, I couldn’t find many detailed reviews or student experiences about the university online. (For some reason they got (.) between the Harbour & Space)

I would really appreciate it if you could provide insights on the following:

1. Has anyone studied at Harbour Space University? What was your experience like?
2. What’s the Applied Bachelor’s in Computer Science program like at this university?
3. How does Harbour Space University compare to other universities in Spain for Computer Science programs?
4. How is the overall experience for international students at this university?
5. Do you recommend Harbour Space as a good option for international students pursuing Applied Computer Science?

I’d be grateful for any thoughts, opinions, or information about this university! Thanks in advance!

So I'm finishing up senior year of high school and plan to go on to a two year program for criminal justice. I'm a little scared that it might be complicated so I wanted to ask what type of thing to expect. I know it won't all be applicable but I wouldn't mind any tips or things to keep in mind. What sort of classes and subjects should I explicitly expect?

I thought my last year was going to be less busy work but that’s all it’s been. They are requiring us to complete servers assignments each week. Roughly at least an hour for each assignment, and it’s for pass/fail- either you complete everything on time each week or you can fail. Is that even allowed?? Is my question. Like how can that be allowed.

So they are giving us additional material to study, but then requiring it and not making it worth any points. So even if we got 100 on every test, quiz and anything graded- we could fail if we miss one assignment after being warned (usually).

Hey all, so just some context. I currently work full time and am taking classes at a community college as my job pays for them up front., I'm just taking them for fun/personal development. I have a list of classes that seem interesting and just wanted some feedback on what is almost necessary to take in person and which are fine to take online, classes are:

Active living Psychology Fundamentals of speech Interpersonal communications Business communications Principles of marketing

Curious to hear feedback since it would help me out, thank you

i love school. it’s been my dream to be the first black woman in my family to earn a degree. to be financially independent has been something my mother has instilled in me since i was a little girl.

the financial burden it has placed on my family has been astronomical. my mother has had to move back in with my grandparents being financially independent for over 30 years. getting evicted from our apartment we shared having a clean record of credit.i’m in crippling debt having to put all my bills into my credit cards with no job to pay back the bank.

the stress of financing my college career has made my mom put a pause on her health and well-being, not working out and going back to old eating habits she’s worked so hard to change.

i know being in college is difficult, and i can’t help but envy the students who don’t have any financial burdens.

to any of yall who are first generation college students who come from a lower class background, how did yall deal with this feeling? i’m so sad that because of my financial status, i truly do not deserve to obtain a formal education. i don’t go to a super fancy school, but the stress is killing me.

i hope everyone has had a successful semester. sending love ❤️

Really grateful and blessed that I recently got accepted to one of my top schools, but a new minor issue that's just bugging me- what do I do now with these emails from colleges??

Some friends (now uni freshmen) had said they STILL send you mail even when you've enrolled and started?! guys!?!? 💀 Lol i don't mind going through and deleting but if there's an easier way, PLEASE LET ME KNOW 🗣️🙌🏾💫

If I open an announcement on my Apple Watch, will it show as read?

Hey everyone, needs some opinions. So American Public University is accredited, and with my work load from my job and my family the school stuff is manageable. I'm about to finish my bachelors from this school, but I want to go for for my MBA. after looking into peoples thoughts on the school it seems mixed with some saying its worthless and others saying it was great and outside hire didn't care where they got it. Will jobs actually care where I got my MBA from? If its accredited I am safe to say that I would have the degree, but I know with other schools it's more "impressive" to say you graduated from specific schools. I don't care much about that I just want to make sure I don't waist my time. In my current company If i get my masters it opens the door for executive level positions later down the line. I'm currently working as a finical analyst at a defense contracting company. Looking for real advice and clarification. Thanks.

I've been interning at Ansys for a year and a half now. Originally, it was just supposed to be a summer thing, but they keep extending my offer. I'm currently making $23/hr, but on their own advertisements, they list internships from $25-$45/hr. Do I ask for a raise, even though I don't have much negotiating power?

So I’m a bit frustrated with the last day of Gen Chem Lab…

We were supposed to do our practical exam a week ago, but the science building flooded so we couldn’t. Then we were notified a day before the practical exam that we are also doing our lab theory exam on the same day. This barely gave any time to study. Like why not just notify us that we are going to do both exams a week before and not a day before???

Our practical consisted of 4 questions, I wish we had more time to study because I did not know how to answer these questions. We were given 20 minutes to do this before moving onto the practical exam. I did absolutely horrible on this part.

We were titrating for our practical. I spilled things like three times which set me back a lot. I also had two replace my burette two different times. First time was because I couldn’t read the numbers because it was faded. I didn’t notice until right before I was about to titrate. I then replaced the burette with a second one but then that one broke and ruined my titration. I wasn’t allowed to redo that trial.

I had no idea what was going on, but this never happened in my previous lab sessions and practice for the practical. I honestly wanted to cry during the practical after making several mistakes that set me back.

This was basically 45% of our grade in one day which was frustrating because it was supposed to be two separate class days with the practical being 25% and then the lab theory being 20% the following week. It’s just frustrating seeing my grade being 100 the whole semester down to a C because of this… I know Im at fault too but, am I being too dramatic??

Stay in school kids.

Hi, i’m a junior in high school and it’s about that time to start thinking about colleges. I know I wanted to go for a math degree, but my ultimate goal is to become an engineer. However after doing a bit of research i’m not sure if that’ll be good for me. Engineering is a lot of designing i’m finding out. Which may have been implied, I didn’t know. I’m very.. technical. The whole reason I wanted to go for a math degree was because math isn’t subjective, it’s very black and white unlike engineering. So i’m now wondering what I could do with a math degree, that actually pays the bills too. If anything.. I could be a teacher. But I really don’t want to.

Hi all!

I started working at my university as a full time researcher recently.

However, I’m quite frustrated with my team and the job scope.

The job has almost nothing to do with actual research, is boring as hell, and I’m just unhappy.

My university is one of the best in the world and I’m sure there are other positions that will satisfy me. I only started this job 3 months ago, and I don’t wanna just quit. Maybe internal transfer will be the best option.

Could anyone let me know how that works in your university? I don’t find much information on my school’s website.

Thank you!
