Where can i find a body scale on campus! I heard the K got one but I cannot find it.

Don’t have dental insurance? No problem - I’m here for you!

My name is Michelle and I am a dental hygiene student at MATC and I need your help! I’m looking for patients of all ages and ranges of dental health to come in for a comprehensive dental cleaning. The cost for the entire appointment is $40, but I am willing to cover the cost if needed, because I NEED you! Appointments are located at the MATC Dental Clinic - 700 W Highland Ave, Milwaukee.

I have appointments available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Full treatment is usually 2-3 appointments.

You will receive a comprehensive dental cleaning, assessment, oral cancer screening, full set of x-rays, etc. EVERYONE welcome!

Please message me if you are interested!

Ask questions, look for UWM roommates, sell your Xbox, etc.

I live in upstate New York but I really would like to go to school here. There's a very long story here but in short I've known a lot of people in the Milwaukee area through the internet since I was in middle school.

I have a very bad home life, my mom and I have an incredibly unhealthy relationship and it's been destroying me for years. I'm not trying to trauma dump but she made it very hard to be where I should be in life right now. With her and moving a lot it's been hard to ever develop real, long lasting relationships and build close friendships. I met one guy online while I was in middle school and he became my best friend. He's helped me through so much, even more than he knows. Through so many horrible years and fights with my mom and breakups. I know a lot of other people in Milwaukee through him. He even got me into philosophy which I genuinely believe saved my life by giving me a way to understand myself and what to do with my life. I love him like a brother and he's told me he feels the same.

I was originally planning to go to a university close to me as everyone else around me is but at some point I realized my mom was just too much. I need to get away, far away and build something new for myself. I don't have any family that I trust so one night, calling my friend and talking about the situation, we both had the idea of me going to UWM, where he's at.

My freshman year average is 90, my sophomore year 96, my junior year 80, and my senior year so far around 70. My grades have gotten progressively worse because of my mom making it hard for me to even function, I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Even though I was going through a very bad time and didn't study I managed to get an SAT score of 1470. I have no extracurriculars.

I don't know if I'll get in to UWM with these grades. I haven't even applied yet and it's already so late. I have so much ambition and want to get a degree in psychology to help other people in bad places. Do you think I would be let in if I explained all this in my essay?

hello!! im somewhat new to the school, second semester in and I just cant find a good place to study. i dont want anything too loud and preferably with a charging port if possible but not too important.

ive tried lubar and the union as well as the library and both places are quite noisy (surprisingly even in the library)

please help because i have a 4 hr gap of classes on mondays 😭 ty

Hello!

Just wanted to get some opinions on the program and if I’d qualify. Technically I am a Florida resident, I will be coming back to Wisconsin in March. I applied to UWM for the fall semester and was accepted as resident for in state tuition, I was born/raised,graduated high school in WI along with having family ties.

For the tuition program I seem to qualify for everything but am not sure about the resident part. If I received resident in state tuition is that enough to be considered as a resident for the program?

I’ve emailed the school but haven’t heard anything.

Thanks!

Looking for carpooling option.

Heads up in case you're in any of this weirdos classes

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anybody knows what UW - Milwaukee's INFOST courses would transfer into at Madison. I'm planning on doing Information Sciences and I'm curious if specifically INFOST 120, 290, 310, and 325 will transfer towards this degree, or at least what they would transfer into. Transferology doesn't seem to have an answer, so if anybody here knows from personal experience or some other reason, please let me know!!

Has anyone received their financial aid, loans or grants yet? Last semester I got mine before the semester started but nothing yet.

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like there’s so many places to sit and study on campus but it’s so rare to find a table that’s near an outlet to charge my laptop. I walk through Lubar and there’s hardly any tables near outlets. I go throughout the 3 floors of the library and all the tables near any outlets are always occupied leaving just the tables with no outlets. It’s tough finding a place to study and do homework when I need to charge my laptop constantly. I wish somehow the school would add more outlets everywhere on campus. Does anyone else feel the frustration or is this just something that’s so minor that no one cares about? lol

Edit: I’ve calmed down a bit and realized that I am definitely not the only person requiring tech support in a school of 23,000 students. Apologies for the rant.

I did fix my issue however. If anyone was wondering, apparently you can’t use “#” in your password. I swapped out the hashtag with a “!” and we seem to be good now. Thank you everyone for your help and sorry about the negative vibes lol, I really do love this school.

What is the point of having an IT department if nobody picks up the phone or answers emails? I’ve been trying to get into my PAWs account for the past 24 hours and it keeps telling me that my password or Panther ID is invalid/doesn’t match.

I can log into Canvas just fine, so obviously it’s not me forgetting my password, I’ve tried reinstalling chrome, rebooting the computer, changing the password, none of it has worked. I know my Panther user ID is just first initial and last name, no @uwm.edu at the end, so it’s also not that.

I submitted a request for help at 10am, I’ve tried calling 6-7 times already just to be told that “because of the high volume of calls we can’t take your call right now” which personally I call BS. Nobody will answer, I can’t get in to fully register for my classes since this has been an ongoing issue for a good minute.

I know nobody in this subreddit actually cares, I just needed to rant about this. I’m genuinely sick to my stomach.

I have an online class and need a quiet place where I won’t disturb others. Would it be alright if I use an empty classroom that doesn’t have any scheduled classes?

Has anybody seen/heard the dude in the red muscle car just revving his engine and driving around the school. Yesterday saw him at 11am revving his engine at people on the crosswalk and when I was in the library at 1-2 he was still out there driving all around the campus and he’s out here this morning doing the same thing. Parents bought him a new car i assume?

Is it not working for anyone else? I seem to remember being able to go on to UWMVisitor with ease but not it’s saying I need a network security key

Hi, I applied to the UW for nursing and my second choice was ASL interpretation. I unfortunately was denied nursing though I am a medical assistant and have extensive knowledge in Healthcare. It was because I didn't get a B or better in any of the prerequisite courses. I'm wondering what steps I take , and if this happened to you, what did you do? Talking to Mt admissions counselor Is basically impossible I wait days for a response and every time I call, it goes to voice-mail. Any information is extremely helpful.

EDIT: I am not and never was a student at the UW, I took these courses at MATC.

So i live about 15m on foot from uwm (or 3 on the red) and basically, I'm not going to be present for a while on my lease due to studying abroad😅. does anyone know where's a good place to advertise somewhat specific arrangements? in just in general, whether offering or seeking. i considered fb marketplace, but i feel like it might come off kind of shady as a fresh/mostly empty account.

or if anyone is interested, just dm me for info? like $400/mo for a 1br/1b apartment to yourself... the caveat is just that it comes with husky caretaker duties😅

I have a class around the time I usually eat dinner, does anyone know if I can take food to go and back to my dorm room? For context I'm in Sandburg North and I'm referring to the Sandburg Cafe Dining Hall. Also I can't seem to find any water fountains to fill up my bottle is the only way through the Dining Hall? It's my first semester here so I'm still not too familiar with the building or how it all works here.

I’m a dental hygiene student at MATC and I need your help to graduate! 

This semester it will be more beneficial for me to see those who regularly go to the dentist and are between 3-40 years old. But as time goes by, I will need a wide variety of folks! I have availability this semester Mondays 8am-12 and Wednesdays 1-5pm! 

Screenings there is more flexibility with scheduling: 

We have screening appointments so we can figure out how best to care for you!  These appointments can take 1-2 hours (Children between 3-17 do not need to be screened).  After we evaluate your needs, we can sign you up for a cleaning appointment which includes: 

 X-rays, oral cancer screening, cleaning, personalized care plan, polishing, and fluoride treatment!

Fair warning: As we are students, the appointments do take longer than they would going to a regular dentist since we have every step checked by our dentists . They are typically 3 hour appointments and depending on the complexity, it could take multiple appointments (usually 2-3) to completely finish your cleaning!

There is a one time fee at your first appointment:

Ages 13+: $40

Under 13: $30

All appointments are at our clinic at Milwaukee Area Technical College downtown!

700 West Highland Avenue

Milwaukee, WI

H Building, Room H115

Feel free to ask me any questions or if you’d like to get scheduled! And please share as I will need 45 patients to graduate! Thank you!!

Message me here or at (414) 395-5155 or fill out a short survey and I will get back to you!

HI - I dropped below a 3.0 GPA for graduate school (School of Information Science) and now i need to get the dean's approval to continue. I filled out the form and got documentation needed, but I am confused at who I send it to.

Anyone have any experience with this? I did reach out to my advisor and he made me feel a bit dense. I haven't been in school for like 12 years and it takes an old person a bit longer to wrap their heads around how to do things again.

I just don't understand if I send the to the dean of my college first, my advisor or the graduate school dean?

So I was only able to pay around $800 of my tuition leaving me with a $1300 balance. I can pay it off in less than 2 weeks but am I going to be okay to go to classes for now or am I at risk of being dropped? I could set up a payment plan but the enrollment fee and down payment would set me back a bit.

Where is UWM communicating whether classes will be cancelled for Tuesday?

Does anyone happen to have the 5th OR 6th edition of Essential Cell Biology by Alberts, Hopkin, Johnson and wouldnt mind parting with it? ISBN978-1-324-03348-6.

Just need it for the semester for BIOSCI315.

Canvas is not showing any of my enrolled classes right now. Anybody else having this problem or know how to fix it?

Hello everyone-

I am a commuter student who started at UWM last fall. That semester, I had a permit at NWQ garage but as a business school student it is not that ideal to walk that distance especially during the winter. I was considering buying a Lubar Garage permit but I have heard mixed opinions about the parking there, as I heard it fills up often and especially since it is off the main street of the campus, I was not sure if the hassle and extra money was worth it.

I was just wondering if anyone here normally parks at Lubar and was wondering what y'all's thoughts were. I could be overthinking it but I just don't really want to regret my decision is all. Any help would be great thank you :)

Hi guys if anyone has recived aid previously as an intl student pls drop your stats below I want to compare
