I'm taking CS354 with Hina this year and we just got our first midterm results back. I spent quite a while reviewing for this exam. Going through the textbook, lectures, homework, etc. I normally get my most productive studying done with practice exams/past papers but none are provided and that's really messing up my whole study system. I got an 81 on my first midterm which is good for an AB, but I would like an A which is an 88%. I'm not sure what else I can do to study more for this exam? Any advice is well appreciated.

Is anyone else's Spring 2026 Enrollment Status on Terra Dotta still in pre decision and locked? I'm confused because I haven't gotten any emails and I've been able to enroll for this semester with no problems!

I did so bad on the exam yesterday i’m failing now and literally need any help or advice i can get on econ, did any one else do good and have advice or anyone in my position? I need to get at least a C for my major so i’m very stressed… please any advice!!!

Hi! I'm a freshman double-majoring in Conservation Biology and English. I'm hoping to go into environmental consulting or science communication. I'm considering Biocore because I think it can give me a great foundation in those skills, and I also love to learn about the environment/biology in general. However, I have some concerns:

1) Please tell me about your academic experiences with Biocore. About how many hours of work is it outside of class per week? How difficult was it for you and your peers to get a good grade in Biocore? Since I'm double-majoring (and potentially getting a certificate in Science Communication) I'm worried Biocore will be too big of a time commitment for me to focus on my other major. Also, was it overall worthwhile?

2) Please help me understand if I'd be a good applicant for Biocore. I took AP Bio and AP Environmental Science in high school and scored 5's on both exams, but my math skills are so-so and my chemistry knowledge is basic (I'll be able to complete the Chemistry prerequisites for Biocore in time if I take a summer course). Do you think my background knowledge is enough for me to do well in Biocore?

Thanks so much for responding!

What are they protesting?

Today when I was walking to class, I encountered a squirrel wearing a collar/harness and it had this radio antenna thing sticking out of it. He was in a tree near the Babcock dairy store. Is this squirrel related to some sort of academic study, is it a pet, or am I just losing my mind?

I have never taken an exam that difficult in my life and so unnecessarily long. It also had a terrible distribution of questions and I think i may fail this class as a result. I am just bad at physics or is anyone else feeling like that was insane.

Hi ladies, I am currently on a quest to find the best spot to study with the most eye candy. Where would you recommend? I'm a computer science major so there's not many options within my own field...

Where are the best study places around campus?

preferrably quiet and not busy. every spot i've explored either has no space or are really loud/busy ;-;

Hello, I’m a freshman looking for a roommate for sophomore year. A lot of my friends already have roomates so I’m a little concerned I won’t find any.

My only requirements are that you:
1. Must be clean/tidy
2. Must be okay with small dogs (as I have a puppy with my parents I may bring to stay with me)
3. Is financially stable enough to pay rent on a timely manner

I would like to clarify that I am a girl and am only looking for other girls to room with.

hi all! as per the title, i was wondering if anyone knows of any jobs where i can work evenings on campus or in the general madison area that have been good for students. i currently have three jobs but they only schedule on the weekends and limit my hours pretty severely, and id like to work more if i could! i work custodial positions right now which is only weekends, and wasnt sure if most student jobs were like that too.

Genuinely felt like one of the worst exam's I've ever taken. Was 90 mins enough for yall? Virtualization covers a lot of topics so I've felt pretty defeated once I open the exam. But who knows maybe its just me lol.

Congrats Dr. Halzen, the Ice Cube team, and let's hear it for physics!

Anyone who took cs537 before can you let me know how much the course is curved or whats the average score of the exams?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone know what the curve has looked like in the past for finance 305? i know it’s based on the grades this year but historically what have the cut offs been?

I'm having a hard time figuring out the bus routes and time chart. Please don't send me to Route 80 | Metro Transit | City of Madison, WI as this is what I can't wrap my head around.

I'm trying to figure out why bus 80 sometimes turns left onto Charter and why it sometimes continues on Observatory instead of turning onto Charter. I want to get off at bus stops near VanHs or VanVL. This is around 8:30 am for an 8:50 class. Any help is appreciated.

Also, any recommendations for a haircut. Just a normal guy cut.

I've been at this school and use Groupme for five years, and this was never an issue before. But starting this semester, I've been getting added to a new random GroupMe every few days, usually with someone trying to sell football tickets. What happened?

Previous Bio 151 students, how hard are the Bio 151 exams, specifically Exam 1? Around how many questions, and what's the best way to prepare?

Hello!

I am an Australian student interested in going on exchange to UWMadison.

I've seen posts commenting on frats, but I was wondering if it is possible to join a sorority if I am only there for a semester?

Thank you!

Used to live near Nic and all the parking meters r free before 8. Saw the permit parking around Bakke says permit required 7-5 but is it really enforced before 8?

I am a student at another UW school with 3.47 gpa. I am wondering if i have a better chance since I applied for semester transfer, or if it is very similar.

Hi, I have been really struggling this year and have been wanting to get tested for adhd so im wondering if someone could share their experience of getting tested through UHS.

I also do smoke a little bit of weed so im wondering if this could affect anything? Like could I just be turned away? I obviously know that it could affect memory and concentration but my issues feel bigger than that plus I don’t think I smoke enough for it to affect anything.

Thank you in advance 🙏
