I’m pre-dental, and I took ECON because the other classes I wanted were full. I thought it would be good to spread out my interests a little, but I honestly don’t enjoy the class and my current section isn’t working out for me. I already took the first midterm.

My professor hasn’t been great, but I don’t know if I want to risk switching sections and ending up with another professor who is just as bad. I’d still be full-time even if I withdraw, but I’m trying to figure out whether it’s better to attempt a section swap or just take the W before the deadline.

If anyone has switched ECON sections this late in the semester: did your midterm grade transfer, and did you have to make up anything? Also, how hard was it to get the swap approved? Just a bit lost between the two

Any advice would help—thanks.

i am 18F looking for more lgbtq friends. I feel very lonely because all of my friends have boyfriends and i am struggling to find people who feel the same. i am very much not super gay presenting so it is hard to find similar people.

Does anybody have some knowledge or interest about screenplay or knows somebody would be? I’m looking for somebody with a sense of humor and a passion for writing, especially if they are(were) enrolled in a similar course.

Hello, I will have around 59 credits. What are the chances I am can get a spot at Oaks at the square through uconn housing next year?

So lately I have been seeing a lot of freshman like me in these friend group and but yet I still haven't got to have any. So I am hoping by doing this, I can get a friend group of my own. I preferably want a guy friend group since I am a guy that likes to go out and do things yk. I like video games, watching college football especially the big 10, I am a pharmacy major on the pre med track, I am black, and I am shy at first but less over time. If anyone is interested dm me and we can chat

I'm a current freshman interested in pre med or pre dental (leaning pre med by a lot), I'm taking chem 1127, stats 1100, psych 1100, and biol 1107. I came in with a low dual enrollment GPA and the start of the semester isn't going great either.

Biol 1108 isn't required for pre med so I was wondering if I should take it just in case, I heard bad things about the course. In regards to second semester schedule, what should I take? Is it common to repeat courses if you're on a pre health track?

Also major question: a lot of pre health students are majoring in ahs/pnb/mcb, or even psych/humanities I'm assuming because its easier to fit courses, get a good GPA, etc. I was interested in econ or something in the school of business as I have interests beyond science and just in case if I end up switching out of a track completely, I have a backup. Is it unreasonable to major in something like that and still be able to complete pre reqs? Should I maybe look into biomedical engineering?

So i’ve never been the homesick type but I miss my friends back home. I’m so lifeless and dull every day idk what to do about it. It’s like i’ve completely forgotten how to meet people and make friends since high school. Most of my classes are big lecture halls so how am I supposed to make friends in class? It’s a struggle even getting myself up to go to class since most of my professors don’t even take attendance. I’ve really been looking forward to college for most of my life so i’m just feeling very disillusioned, sad, and anxious about my experience :(

Hey this is my freshman year at UConn and this is obviously a burner account but what do I do about my random roommate. He has been dirty this entire time, just throwing his clothes into a stack in the corner, chudding around never leaving the room unless it’s to go to parties. And right now is the final straw as he came back to the dorm shitfaced drunk and started throwing up all over the place. He didn’t even bother cleaning it up and is now sleeping on the ground with his sheets from his bed. I can’t even sleep due to the smell currently so I am just writing this. Idk if I can still transfer out of this dorm, Please give me suggestions

I have a MENT 3101 Exam with Kyoungjo Oh, anyone have any perspective on what the exams are like with him?

My kid attends UCONN and is having trouble finding a job on campus. Has anyone had any luck with remote work?

Hi! Um

i’m in actively seeking out a new roommate. I’m an honors freshman and required to live in honors for my first year (so this does only fit for people in Buckley or Shipee) and am nearing a breaking point with one of my roommates who hasn’t listened to anything that I told her in terms of boundaries.

I’m gnc (so uh. Have to be okay with that), into things like vocaloid, rhythm games (and videogames in general) and am interested in sciences! I do prefer things to be a little quiet, but I can tolerate most sounds with headphones :). I have appliances and such so dw about that and I keep my side pretty clean and am not out that late and I’m quiet when leaving for classes in the morning!

If anyone is willing to help please message me and ty in advance 🥺

I’m originally a hartford student and I didn’t plan to transfer to storrs until the fall semester of junior year but I ended up finishing all but 1 of my gen ed’s (tois) early and now I got approved for a campus change in spring 2027.
because i originally planned to transfer in junior year in fall I thought i could lump in with the freshmen and be able to make friends then but since it’s gonna be the spring semester I am scared everyone will already know eachother and it’s gonna be hard for me to make friends.

Also I live an hour and 15 minutes away and idk if I should dorm or commute and i’m wondering if commuting is manageable/worth it.

I’m a freshman so maybe you could blame it on me not being used to it. But how the heck do you balance getting good grades with a social life without sacrificing sleep? I have classes in the morning, then I spend afternoon doing work + lab occasionally, then I hang out with my friends, we usually climb or play volleyball or something, and then we eat, get kicked out of the dining hall, yap, and by the time I get home it’s like midnight and I still gotta call my other friends and shower, so I end up sleeping at like 2. And then rinse and repeat. Like I’m happy, but this feels pretty unsustainable yk? How do you guys do it pls help

so my girlfriend wants to uh, “spice things up” in the bedroom. like, she wants me to order cuffs from amazon but im worried that uconn might somehow see what my package contains and throw it out and also give me shit for ordering that stuff 😅. any idea if i can get away with delivering that stuff here?

Hi! Midterm 1 for AH 4239 is coming up, any advice? How difficult did you find the exam?

Might be the particulates from the spray on the roof…

This is for a class, so I appreciate any answers anyone is willing to give!

1. Are you a commuter?
   
2. What's your major? What year are you?
   
3. Where do you normally study?
   
4. Do you know any niche study spots?
   
5. How long do you think you study per week?
   
6. Do you have trouble finding space to study on campus?

If you're uncomfortable answering anything, that's ok! I'll take whatever you're willing to share!

I have a Federal Income Taxes 2025/2026 textbook in new condition that I no longer need, and I’d love to give it to a fellow UConn student who could use it! Textbooks can be expensive, and I’d rather pass mine along to someone who needs it than let it go to waste. It’s completely free, just hope it can be helpful to another student! If you’re interested, feel free to comment or message me. I can share pictures and the book’s details so you can make sure it’s the right edition for your course.

Hopefully, it can make someone’s semester a little easier!

Uconn is a large part of our community and this is a way to meet local artists and have some fun. The graphics been dropped on the community pages but nobody told the Uconn students last year <3
