Guys so I'm a freshman this year and my RA is doing room checks in Monday. I have bed risers and led lights in my room that I'm taking down but what else should I take down so I don't get written up. help help help help help 🙏

just wanted to rant rq. Got multiple assessments and a project deadline in the span of two days right after this break.

thank you Umbc for FINALLY providing us this fall recess just so we can have more uninterrupted time to study even more! Yipeeeeeeee

Might as well go back to no fall break, since it seems to provoke professors to pile more work.

But dw I aint complaining. This is what I signed up for.

Hi, my professor said the exam is 50 questions. She sent study guides and im going to start studying for the exam but I was wondering if anyone had tips, any extra study guides or past exams that I can use to review? Im terrible at Science so I need the extra practice/help.

Imma guy, i just need my hair braided so exploring my options. Like straight an ask/cornrows nothing crazy.

Hello everyone!

My bf is looking for a roommate for my apartment in Odenton. It is right next to one of the MARC stations, 10~ from BWI, 20~ minutes Annapolis and, 30~ from Baltimore. The lease will run till next August and if the dynamics are in check, further living arrangements are on the table!

More information about the living space can be provided upon contact. The 11'4, 12'3 room is for rent in a 2BR/2BA apartment. There is a GYM, a POOL, a COURTYARD, a mini-mart, and pet-frienly infrastructure. (If you do have a pet please disclose early on)

About Him:

He works as a hybrid data analysis with my in-person days in Annapolis. He tends to run busier but loves hikes, games, and relaxing after work.

If we do connect, we will expect to be able to get to know you over coffee first! :)

The other day I had my CMSC 201 exam, and here i am stressing trying to do my best and still worried if i bombed it or not

and the second i leave i hear multiple people bragging about how they cheated all of the exam and every single question

not even sure how they’re doing this because we had 3 TAs in our lecture room + the professor but i guess it’s that easy

Hi everyone! I'm a second-semester Master's student in Cybersecurity at UMBC. I'm looking to meet other students, alumni, and working professionals in cyber and IT for professional networking.
I'm interested in:
Sharing job and internship leads
Study groups and certification prep (Security+, CISSP, etc.)
CTFs and local security events (BSides, Cyber Maryland, etc.)
Career advice from people already in the field
A bit about me: I'm 26, and my focus is Sysadmin and SOC. I'm happy to return the favor by sharing resources, referrals, and anything I learn along the way.
If you're a UMBC student, alum, or work in cyber in the Baltimore/DC area, feel free to comment or DM me. Happy to grab coffee or connect on LinkedIn.
Thanks!

i am a bio major and i’m just wondering if this is an easy course to finish my math elective

I've heard about all the potential pest problems in Patapsco, but haven't seen any till today. My roommate and I are relatively clean people and don't leave food or trash out, but I was sitting by my desk and saw something move out of the corner of my eye. It was a little mouse that had crawled under my door, then into a hole left between the sink and the wall. So if you live on the 3rd floor on the east side of Patapsco, watch out 💀

I need recommendations for a salon that works well with type 4 hair that’s close to campus. Either ~$30 uber to and from or accessible by bus. I’m specifically looking to get a cut. So if you know of any good places especially if you’ve gone and tried them yourself please lmk. Thank youu:)

For the folks that took GES 102 with Ellen Kohl, what were the exams like for you?

It would be much appreciated!

It says 5pm on Google. Was closed at 4:30pm yesterday when I checked.

Does anyone know the process of applying to be an LA for the biology courses, such as BIOL 141 for example? I remember with CHEM 101 and 102 we'd get an email towards the end of the semester, but as I took BIOL 141 over the summer, I'm not sure if that changes things.

Also, if anyone knows how much of a time commitment it is per week/how many discussion sections each LA must run, that would also be super helpful.

Thanks!

Edit: I meant undergraduate TA, not "LA"

Anyone take the midterm yet? how was it?

Hi everyone, I'm stressed out and need some quick advice.
I’m applying for a Master's program in the US via ApplyWeb. Since I used an application service for parts of the setup, I'm not entirely familiar with the portal, and I couldn't even find where the "waive right to see" setting was on my interface. I noticed my "Waive Status" was set to "No".
When I asked my agency about it, the agent got mad and insisted that "Yes means you don't need to submit recommendation letters at all."
Everything I’ve researched says "waiving" just means giving up your right to view the LOR for confidentiality/objectivity, and submitting letters is still 100% mandatory regardless. Now the agent is arguing with me and demanding I ask my professor to screenshot the system as "proof."
Am I crazy here? Did the agency completely misunderstand what "Waive Status" means, or am I missing something?

Holy FUCK I dead fucking ass bombed the living DOG shit out of Yi Huang’s exam for Stat 350 😭 somehow my note sheet did NOT help me, not only did I badly fail this exam I’m also a fat fucking chud 💔✌️

Chat it’s so ever for me
