Can anyone share their experiences of doing PhD in BME at the University of Akron? How is it? The course works, research, labs, internship opportunities, faculties etc?

I'm a first-year student at Miami University and I'm currently thinking of transferring to University of Akron due to some family issues. I was wondering how the compsci community at UA is and if the classes they provide are good enough. I also wanted to know about the opportunities they have for students such as their career fairs, clubs, and internship programs. I'm not sure if UA will be beneficial for compsci since might not have enough connections with companies. I would appreciate if anybody could clarify.

Right now I'm not paying anything at Miami because of the scholarships I received. I'm not sure about the scholarships and financial aids available at UA, so I was wondering how helpful they are in that department. I'm also mostly likely going to commute so that might play a factor as well.

Hey guys, has anyone else had an absolute royal mess with their financial aid this semester? I am dealing with disbursements that are months late and error messages that the financial aid office is saying are a part of the switch to workday. I have more information but wondering if this is a grand scale or small scale issue before moving forward. TIA

Cut the admin positions. Apparently we don't need as many admin jobs around here if the president is able to clock out by 4:00PM on a workday. But it's the professor positions that he wants to focus on eliminating?

Does anyone know anymore information about the faculty reductions?

Did anyone randomly lose access to their online textbooks this past week? I was able to access them for the past two months but can't access them at all now.

i want an honest answer for the question is Akrons art program good? im in highschool and mostly looking to go there because my friends are going there and marching band is a big thing for me too (clarinet). if akrons art program isnt good does anybody have any other recommendations for different colleges? looking to stay in ohio for family

Just curious. Need night classes and EET is one of them that offers late classes. But not sure if I’d be PE eligible right off the back since it’s a Technology degree

Thx

hello, i’m a freshman at uakron and i got a parking ticket but i lost the paper and i don’t know which website to go to pay for the ticket. if you could help me that would be greatly appreciated

Hey yall! It's me again (for the few of those who saw my "I keep getting recommended this subreddit, AMA").

I've finally listed down my final colleges I'm sending out applications for, and I'm down to my last 2 that I'm debating on sending applications to, one being UA, but I need some help answering some of my questions.

1 - What is a really reliable financial aid/fees calculator? I haven't been able to find one that doesn't outright tell me horrible data (a few told me I'd have to pay 32k+ per year, which is utter BS)

2 - What are some of the biggest problems at Akron, even though they seem small from outside? (I know when taking tours and stuff people exaggerated how good the school is)

3 - What things are a NECCESITY to have on campus, that most places don't tell you?

4 - How community focused is the school? Is there many small groups of people that hang out/do things together (like clubs), or is it all kind of "a big happy family"?

EDIT: I'm from over 2 hours away in state, going for environmental science/studies

I get so bored on campus, wanna support other peoples creative talent

What’s going on with student support at sports events this year. It’s been really sad seeing no students on the hill this year at soccer games. 2 years ago was electric.

I got three extra tickets to the Akron U vs Xavier soccer game tonight at 7:00 pm (in the main stands at mid-field 4th row). Just meet me at the gate and walk in. FREE!

Two questions…

Number one: what are the dimensions of a grad cap?

Number two: WE CAN DECORATE THEM RIGHT? (Please say yes)

This specific charging station is the one on the first floor nearest the elevators. I plugged my phone into it and placed it in the tray and noticed that my phone wouldn't slide freely when I pushed it to position it better into the tray. People suck and many have a high school maturity level around here. Check the condition of everything that is public use before you attempt to use it around here. Luckily some soap and warm water removed all the gum residue from my phone but dang, people suck man.

Thanks.

As a student at the University of Akron, I am already stretched thin by the financial pressures of pursuing higher education. With tuition costs hovering around $20,000 per year, every dollar counts. On top of this, the recent privatization of our parking facilities has led to U Akron Park charging an additional $500 annually just for commuter parking. This extra expense is significant, and it’s time for a change. The average college student graduates with roughly $30,000 in debt, often balancing multiple jobs to make ends meet. Adding exorbitant parking fees to this burden feels unnecessarily harsh. We shouldn’t have to face steep parking costs on top of tuition and loans.

With this petition, we call on the University of Akron and U Akron Park to reassess their parking fee policies and work towards reducing these charges. Our campus should be accessible to all students, not just those who can afford inflated parking fees. We urge the University to recognize the financial challenges students face and take immediate action to relieve this unnecessary strain. Please sign this petition to support the reduction of parking fees at the University of Akron.

Hi. I am a transfer student from Kent, 21f. I am a social work major. I am a junior. The only reason I transferred to this school was because they gave me a half-tuition scholarship and they actually had the major I wanted, and it actually had some job prospects. I have a boyfriend who I live with and we recently got a puppy too. He’s a lot of work, but he’s my baby. I am only 5 weeks in, and I feel like I am regretting my decision. My professors are okay, but not very approachable if I’m being honest. The whole campus gives me utilitarian vibes, especially with all the concrete. I am living in an apartment off campus and I am broke already, despite saving. I am working 2 jobs. One, is on the weekends and the other is on weekdays on-campus. I haven’t had the time to put myself out there or make friends, and I am stretching myself out already. I really feel like I need to talk to someone about this or I am literally going to lose it. All I do is wake up, go to school, go to work and go to bed. I find myself reminiscing about my old school and how much more freedom and happiness I had a mere 2 years ago. I have found myself crying myself to sleep most nights. I feel a lot of it has to do with how lonely I feel now. Does Akron offer any counseling services for students? Any advice?

hey all -

so there is a microwave in Bierce that suffers from a lack of power (9 minutes of warming, anyone?). That I know of, there are two in the student union.

so, any other microwaves on campus!?

I have fentanyl test strips, ask and ye shall receive, no questions asked or answered.

I opted out of the book bundle after paying my tuition, as all of the books were covered by my tuition. It went back into my balance in workday as unapplied payments, partially as scholarships and the rest as my online payment. Who do I talk to on campus to see about getting a refund for the 300 some dollars I paid?

Looking for someone to takeover my lease at university edge. It’s $600 a month and It Ends on July 31st! Pm me or message here thank you!

Has anyone heard anything about tuition reimbursement/refund checks? I use the money to pay rent and other necessary expenses outside of tuition and books and I'm really concerned about whether or not I'll be able to pay upcoming expenses.

wtf this this crepe from Freshens? Could barely cut through it and it was so chewy. More like a quesadilla with Nutella than a crepe.

Iz Bach to rock with Christoper Coles proctored?
