How hard is it to switch my major from chemistry to chemical engineering?

I'm an international student interested in OSU's chemical engineering, however my university agent says that it would be easier for me to apply for chemistry and then change my major to chemical engineering. I have 3.62 unweighted gpa, 3.80 weighted, 1440 sat, and I'm taking another one in november. I got 5s in AP calc ab and AP micro, 4s in AP Chem and AP ES. My ECs are OKAYish but I do lack competitions related to chemistry.

Any tips for extreme burnout??

As we approach midterm week I know a lot of us are experiencing this fatigue. I’m personally at the point where I’ll read the same simple sentence over and over and I just can’t comprehend it. Anyone have any tips that they’ve found have really helped them stay motivated?? Advice is welcome for professors and staff as well because I know it’s stressful right now for you guys too!

Easy Upper Division courses

Hello, next semester will be my last in the university, but I still need to get 12 credit hours of upper division courses. What might be some classes that are relatively simple/easy to take and/or have little to no exams.

GE Honors Themes

I’m a first year in the honors arts and sciences program currently trying to plan out my schedule for next semester. I want to knock out my GE themes and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for what specific classes to take, as none of the ones I can take have anything to do with my major or minor anyway. I would like it to be a 4 credit hour class but if not that’s fine too

Parking here

So I live by the Kroger south or people call it kroghetto

My question is parking can be dicey here in high street and I’m avoiding a ticket and a tow at all costs.

what’s stopping me or can I park in krogers parking lot during the day and come back at night and park it somewhere else?

I just don’t see how they track how long each car stays in their lot during the day

Thoughts?

Seating at the stadium

So I have a ticket to the Iowa game but I think I’m at block o north student section

All the people I’m going with are sitting together at block o south..

How strict are they with seating like this? Am I going to be able to go to the opposite end and sit with them?

Lyft sucks

Why did my Lyft from campus to my nearby off campus apartments within the coverage area discount go from being 5 minutes away and $4 to a new driver being 15 minutes away, and when I go to rebook rides are $15 for someone who's 20 minutes away. What the hell happened.

Are there any plus size Black women in engineering out there?

Its a bizarre and frustrating experience. I know the title sounds specific but our experience is very different from our others. Being a plus size Black woman in engineering is different from being a fit Black woman in engineering. It's different from being a plus size Black woman in another major. It's very very different from being a non-Black woman in engineering. I basically get daily reminders that we don't belong here.

If you don't know how it's different its because you just don't fall into this demographic. I'm not trying to be mean. People outside of these traits just may not understand.

Visiting OSU Harding on Gameday

Hi all,

Any tips for visiting a patient at OSU Harding in Columbus during the OSU/Iowa game? I usually go visit around 6 or so. Should I adjust times? Will I be able to find parking?

Does the immunization requirement affect spring scheduling?

So I submitted my vax history (which was a huge PITA to gather) in August, and I got an email a couple of weeks ago that I still needed varicella (only one dose was on my record despite getting both as a child), tetanus and hep b (these were my fault for not reading the requirements more closely)

I went to the health department yesterday to get them done and while talking to the nurse I mentioned they're for OSU, and she said that they might not let me schedule for the spring until they confirm I received them. Which takes a month for them to process and additionally I have to get the second varicella next month

Is this true? I tried calling them with no answer, and my email was replied to with a copy & pasted non-answer. I'm SLDS so I'm supposed to start scheduling in a couple of weeks but now I'm worried because my classes next semester are somewhat competitive and I work full time so I don't have a very flexible schedule

Any insight would be super appreciated! If they won't let me schedule for spring I'd start looking into a waiver, especially since I've already gotten the varicella

Not yet having a residency update is absolutely crippling me financially

I don’t expect this to solve anything, and it pretty much is me venting, but maybe other students can relate. Or, maybe someone important can see this.

But DAMN y’all. I’m a vet using the GI Bill, so my residency should officially be in-state by law. Submitted the required proof and paperwork well before the deadline and they’re STILL holding onto almost $14k of my student loans. Money I intended to use to, I don’t know, survive.

Like if it was just a huge past due balance on my account, that’d be a different story. But loans pay the school first which has a big ol’ fat “non-residence fee” sitting right on top.

I don’t think whoever is in charge of processing this is lollygagging over there or anything (hopefully). But I can’t be the only one out here living off credit cards and bologna sandwiches just to live.

Loss of a long time friend

Hi everyone,

So today, my backpack died, and I’m looking for a simple, temporary replacement to get me through the day. I remember the bags they gave us with the OSU logo on them when we got our iPads/Surface devices – something like that would be perfect.

Does anyone know if there’s a place on campus where I might be able to get one for free? Or like any big plastic bags?

Thanks!

Which one of y'all keeps taking the bricks outside Curl

Every time I pass by Curl on the way to class or to eat it always seems like there's always more bricks missing from the crosswalk in front of the building.

Are they being taken for fun? Nutritional purposes? Ritual sacrifice? The possibilities are endless and the answers are few. But seriously, walk past Curl and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Has anyone taken Theatre 2000.12?

I saw this class and it seems interesting, but I am wondering if anyone has actually taken the class. If so, can you tell me what it entails, and if you thought that it was worth it or not? Thanks!
