Would graduating early be good or bad

I have my entire degree planner planned so I can graduate a semester early however I am a freshman so I can change it (I need to figure it out rn because if I take an extra class next semester then I'll need to take more credits than I need for my final semester for it to be a full semester if I don't want to graduate a semester early)

I kind of just assumed it was good however google was saying stuff about it being harder to get internships (is it true?) and is only good if you have financial burden (I don't)

I also have it planned so that I have four 400 classes in my final semester which idrk if that's a good idea (I am a compsci major and most of the reviews made all but one sound easy so maybe it would be fine?? idk)

Identity-Related Spaces

Ever since regularly going to some of the identity-related spaces, I have felt a lot more connected to my communities and it feels even more like home. So, thanks so much to the welcoming staff and the people who frequent those spaces. I greatly appreciate it.

ECAD 489/ECAD 360

Anyone else who couldn't find ECAD 489 and ECAD 360 when registering for Spring?

My advisor isn't sure either-- it's not a matter of unhiding full classes and I need it to graduate next semester lol.

Biol 375 with Kathleen Cusick

How is it? It's 3 credits so it's easier than bio430, genetics, and cell bio right?

ENME 110 makeup exam and final

I'm taking Joseph Washington for ENME 110 and honestly the class has not been bad at all. I did pretty good on the first exam and the second exam was take home. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what the makeup exam will most likely focus on, cuz i am still thinking about taking it. Another thing is how many questions will the final have?

thanks!

Mechanical Engineering major wanting to switch to Information Systems B.S

I'm a second year right now and honestly it's just too much. I loved the whole concept of engineering and actually enjoyed the challenges and hands on work, but I just can't keep up with my classes. The course load is too much and on top of that FAFSA is paying for my education and I can't risk failing or not having enough credits. I'm always stressed and just don't have good study habits, I feel like an imposter. I heard Information Systems at UMBC is still STEM orientated and much easier, I have no knowledge of coding, just wanted any advice or thoughts on what I should do or maybe other major suggestions.

Apartment for lease

I’m moving and am planning to transfer the lease of my apartment. It’s in Caton House Apartments (it’s in Catonsville), like a 10-minute commute. The UMBC transit stop right by there too

Enrolling in the next semester?

I'm about to finish my first semester here at UMBC, but haven't paid off my tuition.

The Financial Aid office said I couldn't enroll for the next semester if I didn't pay what I owed, which in this timeframe I'm finding impossible to pay at all.

I forgot what else she said, but something about how if I don't pay it off by x time period, my bill gets moved to someplace else that won't add interest over time, but will instead add an amount one time and that's all I need to pay.

I don't remember what this "someplace" was called. Anyone know?

And also, random add-on question, if I don't get to enroll in the spring semester this year, would I have to wait until the fall semester to enroll again? My credits won't disappear out of thin air if I have no choice but to wait, right?

CMSC 341 Final w Donyaee

I need to get a relatively good score on this final to keep my B and I was wondering if anyone who took this class before with Donyaee could tell me what the final was like and what topics I should focus on? Any help would be appreciated.

BIOL 375 with Kathleen Cusick

Thoughts on the course? I am going to be retaking the class if I take this but im trying to just take 305. unfortunately a lot of stuff isnt working with 400 levels and I am considering ending it all if my last semester does not end well. I got a D when i took 375 last spring with gardner and hal and I hated the class. idk if kathleen will be any better. does any one have thoughts on her? tips? previous exams?

does it matter wich CMSC 104 professor?

I like Mon/Wed better, but the prof for that session has a really bad RMP score, all his scores are for upper-level classes. An intro-level class shouldn't be affected by the professor that much right?

Advice needed - easy/ish classes

CS major here, have all my gen Ed’s pretty much done from AP credits and dual enrollment.

I’m signed up for CMSC 202 next semester, and Aging 100 online. I need 4 classes for my scholarship agreement, but I’ve been on the wait list for the decent linear algebra sections and haven’t been able to get anything. Unfortunately, the stats 355 sections are also at really bad timings, which I am not sure if I will get that to work in my schedule. What are 2 other classes that are easy just to keep my scholarship agreement?

Appreciate all the advice !

UMBC Scholarship Appeal 2nd Time

As a sophomore on merit scholarship probation, if I were to get 3.2 instead of the required 3.25 gpa, would it be possible for me to appeal for a 2nd time?

It’s probably highly unlikely but doesn’t hurt to ask around here, I suppose!
