Im wondering all and i mean all the reasons for each so i can really choose something that i wont regret. Socially, physically, cleanliness, food cause i dont see much info on sophomore dorms on internet

As in, the GSI literally says "I don't know" in response to basic questions about the course content. And most students in the class clearly know more about the course than she does.

I've gone and complained to the professor, who was apologetic about it (he seems to realize that our GSI is pretty unqualified to be working this course). But the prof also said there's literally nothing he can do in terms of firing the GSI or replacing her.

Oh, did I mention that this GSI is going to be the one in charge of grading our exams?

A professor reccommended that I check out the sweetland writing center because I was talking about having trouble reading and writing in a class, but can they help with reading too or just writing? I am spending so much time on this class because we have to read long papers and write about them. Can they help me with reading comprehension too??? Lowkey an embarrassing question because I'm a senior but idk I have never been good at my English classes and somehow what was supposed to be a chill elective for my major is not so chill because it involves so much reading and writing...

Hi all, I'm an international student (Australian) who has recently been accepted here to study undergraduate physics. Moving overseas to study is obviously a significant choice, so i want to be well informed. I've done my research into why Michigan, and honestly have been very impressed with the amount of positivity surrounding the school, much more so than other similarly ranked or many better ranked Universities. However, i want to be informed about the 'bad' of the school, so that i can get a holistic, informed perspective towards attending here. I'm fortunate that financials are not a considerable point. Thanks!

I am currently taking psych 240 with him and I'm realizing that he tends to go off on what seems like unnecessary tangents in lecture which makes the content seem super confusing. Is it okay if I ignore what he says and simply take notes on what's given in the slides or will the things he says during lecture that is not stated in the slides be on the exam?

Heads up everyone, there will be an anti Project 2025 protest this Wednesday at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing from noon to 4pm. If you support the cause and can show up, please do! More info in r/50501

I wonder if anyone is in the same boat as me. I feel like these IOE classes have so much more work to them than MECH E classes. There is so many more projects and different type of work. Way easier but just so much more work.

im thinking about taking physics 211 at wcc which transfer to umich as physics 140 and 141 in the summer. does anyone know anything about this class / have any advice? im hoping to take it online but im not sure if thats an option. can someone let me know if wcc offers it online in the summer? thanks!

I am a correspondent for the Michigan Daily's magazine, the Statement. I am working on an article about the rise of smoking among Gen Z and need to interview students who smoke. If you're willing to be quoted by name in the article talking about why you smoke, how you started, and why you think we've seen this recent resurgence, please reach out to me so we can schedule a phone interview.

I have a bridesmaid’s dress that needs hemming at the bottom. Does not need to be an exceptional sewing job, just need it to look like it wasn’t made for an eleven foot tall woman. Will pay ofc, just don’t necessarily need a professional tailor

This is kind of an emotional post with no real answer, but I had kind of a rough upbringing and was never really happy. Then I came here and I’ve been having the absolute time of my life. Literally the most fun I’ve ever had. The problem is I’ve blinked and I’m now Halfway through school and I feel like it lasted five minutes. What do you guys do to make time seemingly slow down and appreciate everything while you’re here?

Random post but can anyone recommend pet insurance and a vet that takes that insurance that is in the Ann Arbor area?

I’ll be moving to AA for the next 4 years and need a new vet!

It’s one thing when you’re sick and you have mandatory classes you must attend. Like yeah I wish you could stay home but I cant fault you. It’s the professors fault for horrible attendance guidelines.

ITS ANOTHER THING WHEN YOU WILLINGLY COME TO A PUBLIC PLACE AND SIT THERE FOR HOURS COUGHING YOUR SICKNESS TO OTHERS.

For example, some guy sat across from me and I could immediately tell he was sick due to his disgusting congested mouth breathing. THEN, he starts COUGHING like he’s got the black plague. Others and I immediately move but in reality, WE SHOULDN’T HAVE HAD TO IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE WHY ARE YOU HERE IN THIS STUDY SPACE THIS SICK???

I don’t care. Stay home and study. If you are one of these people, know I’m severely judging you and you have zero empathy for others.

Basically I'm trying to learn more about this crisis response team CAPS advertises. Their webpage says they facilitate interventions in response to "critical incidents", which I'm guessing just means anything traumatic. I could see why this would be helpful in response to a campus wide tragedy but I'm curious how often this team is actually "used" (I'm researching this for a project with The Michigan daily so DM me if you have any thoughts).

Are we not gonna have it this year???
C'mon

Hi! I got in to UMich LSA but I’m thinking of transferring into Ross. Is a BBA really worth it? What do job outcomes look like? Do you feel like you’re learning something useful?

Hey everyone!

I'm currently in a college in MA. I recently applied to the BSI program at UMich and was hoping to connect with others in a similar situation. I’ve been trying to find someone who transferred into BSI from a school outside of Umich, but I haven’t had much luck so far.

If you’re also applying or have successfully transferred, I’d love to hear about your experience! For past transfer students, could you share your timeline and background? It would really help me get a better sense of the process and my chances.

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello, I just had my first lab and it’s a big transition being able to use iPad, computer to using only notebook and pre-lab is been checked twice in the beginning of class and end of the class just to see if you wrote everything and based on completion based on syllabus (I don’t know for sure because the syllabus is a bit unclear since there is a lot of steps to how your lab is graded). But my orgo 2 gsi is very strict and mean like extremely. She started criticizing everyone in our first lab when she was checking our pre-lab before class. She speaks cantonese but like a different dialect of Cantonese and I grow up speaking the dialect. And on our check in lab I was telling my lab partner about me speaking cantonese dialect so she started speaking that dialect to me. Mind you I am only person in the class that she knows my name too. So when she was checking our lab she checked mine and did her criticism. And went to back to drawer to wear my PPE. She called my name out across the room saying I didn’t add observed procedures while looking at someone I was so embarrassed. Not only before we left she has to checked pre-lab again and she looked mine she started saying Chinese how if I don’t put effort on the notebook she won’t put effort on my grade. Despite my notebook have
everything that the lab want. Not only that she looked at my partner and she told me how come she have better notebook than I have, I need to learn from her. I should be studying hard, I am not studying hard or doing good job of it(something like that). She said those things in the dialect which sounds 10x harsher. Mind you prelab before you leave is also based on completeness, I accidentally used wrong mass and my percent yield was very high she started saying I need to learn how to do the calculation well, I can’t be lacking like that is not that hard to calculate the yield, I should do better. And then she process taking points off. Since saying all that in Chinese there is no other Chinese in the class no one knew what she was saying. I understand gsi should be giving constructive criticism but this is straight up insults and targeting towards me. What should I do I do now? I am actually very hurt and traumatized.I don’t know who to ask for advice.

My daughter received her acceptance to STAMPS last week. She also recently received an academic scholarship (UM Regents). I’m wondering about portfolio scholarships—does STAMPS give much in the way of merit for portfolios? Do they consider national scholastic awards as well?

I know off the diag exists but im trying to find on campus roommates like all options

Hey guys!!! I’m currently a freshman looking to pursue UT, and I’m thinking about trying to start an “Urban Adventures” (name WIP) club here at UMich!!

I’m still working out some details of the goals of it, but my ideas are:

• Geocaching around Ann Arbor (and other Geocaching-adjacent activities, like Waymarking, Geohashing, etc
• Playing transit themed mini games (if you’ve ever heard of Jet Lag: The Game, something like that!)
• Learning about the city layout and its functionality in practice

I just wanted to get a little feedback before getting too far into the planning process. Would this be something that people would be interested in? What would be some expectations of the club? Et cetera, et cetera.

I’ve done a brief search through Maize Pages, and haven’t really seen anything like it. If anyone knows of something similar which already exists, please let me know!!

I was recently accepted to the engineering school and will be doing ee. I’ve taken 13 aps and have 4s and 5s for 11 of them. I was wondering how the credits work in engineering. Like will my ap gov, U.S. history, psych, lang, micro, bio, and stats give me credits? I also have ab, bc, chem as well which I know give credits. Will I be able to start as a sophomore and graduate a year early? Thanks

I am a transfer student, and due to the very low admission rate of CS advance selection for international students, I chose DS-LSA as an alternative.

My motivation for transfer is to pursue a PhD degree in AI in the US, more likely, LLMs. I have transferred a lot of credits from my previous institution, so I have almost finished my DS degree this term. But I still have at least 3 terms left in U-M to satisfy 60 in residency requirements. Therefore, I am very open to another major/degree [except CS].

I am considering doing MDDP in CE-CoE and DS-LSA, but I am not sure if it is doable or worth it. I have already declared Math(honors) this term, but I don't think I have a huge interest in it. I understand that CS should be a great fit, but unfortunately, this option is not available.

Thank you very much for the suggestions!
