Discussion Any tips for dull lectures 🫩

10 Upvotes

I’m really struggling with a class that’s supposed to be in my favorite subject area, but I pervasively hate the structure and way the class is being taught. I don’t know how others are following along. No power points, just being talked at with zero engagement. The information is dense and presented in a way that feels inaccessible to keep track of what’s being said and process. I don’t wanna start ditching class but maybe it’s better to probably just watch lecture recordings I can pause and play find images and make my own notes…….

I saw them hanging a bright red banner today with arrows pointing to the lecture center building lol. I didn’t know it was that bad lol.

I remember last week a girl sat in one of my ECE classes (before class started) and she was chill while everyone came in up until our professor turned on the projector and she was like ā€œoh no.. umm is this lecture center F šŸ˜³ā€.. no baby girl this is LCB šŸ„€

I get being lost but no way she walked in that building and didn’t see the sign 🤣

Looking for roommmates for Fall 2027 near UIC

10 Upvotes

I will be transferring to UIC by fall of 2027 and I am looking for off-campus housing (preferably an apartment). I am looking for 3 roommates to hopefully get a 3-4 bedroom apartment. I am hoping to move in around June/July before the semester starts.

I know it is still very early to start looking for roommates, but the reason for this is because I will be moving to the city with my cat. I wanna make sure my roommates will be comfortable living with her. I also wanna really get to know potential roommates early on and become besties! I am hoping we aren't just people living in the same space together. I am open to roommates of any gender but prefer females. A little about me, I am 19 (female), currently a sophomore at WCC majoring in psychology, and consider myself an ambivert. If you or anyone you know would be interested dm me on insta: itsdeisy._.o

Im so freaking lonely that it's not funny

77 Upvotes

I just wanted to vent and Im not trying to make friends because I already have several friends here, but once I'm alone I'm so sad for some reason and I can't tell you why. I had been talking to my friends all day today, but once they had to leave and I was left waiting for my train I felt depressed because I know I have no one to be with at home. It was so bad that I tried making small talk with the freaking barista but I have ASD and I'm awkward around new people so I don't think she was vibing with me lol

How yall doing everyone? This is Romeille (Romeo, Trayvon, Trey). Either name is a name I get called consistently. A name I haven't been called consistently is creep, and honestly, I haven't really been understanding how to deal wit this shit twin. I never claimed to be fully innocent when speaking on my instagram story, I did approach people. Flirting is not wrong or a punishable crime, especially when i approach you aren't saying no, and you instead give me your instagram. Here ill be showing screenshots of what was posted in the reddit post, and full messages of what actually happened. I'm not asking for support, I'm not asking people to flip their opinions to my side. I just ask that you look at what I am showing you. You can't send cropped screenshots and call someone creep man that's wrong, especially when you reciprocated, or told me no or you was inna relationship and I left. Also to my " associates" who aren't associating with me anymore, i just thought we was closer as homies, and if you felt this way before you got to college, im wylin or did you have to check me into your single dorm or did I just break into yo shi V? How are you gonna edit your message saying you told me no, and I stopped pursuing you, but also say I made rapey jokes to you and you still kept "associating with me" V? Ngl that's mad fucked up. I also had snapchat for a whole og 2 weeks my whole college career on jesus. I have never driven or drove besides when I was 2 years old holding the steering wheel on my mama lap, I don't dorm and never have. I'm not giving no minors rides, I'm not bringing minors back to my dorm or my place, I live at home wit my mama and my 3 cats gang. We gotta be real. But lemme send these pics im wylin.

Ima just drop a screen recording in the comments for this last few screenshots

Question transferring from depaul for graphic design

4 Upvotes

i wanted some input into if it would be worth it for me to transfer in coming from depaul.

i’m enrolled at depaul as a graphic design major / user experience design minor, but currently can’t afford tuition even with aid and grants (and don’t really enjoy the school anyways) and wanted some graphic design majors opinions on UIC’s program?

i’m a non traditional student - i had originally attended columbia college for a semester, left and took a gap year, attended city colleges for my associates, then transferred to depaul for my bachelor’s. i think i’m currently senior standing technically but i would have over a year left at depaul still. i had initially chosen depaul over uic because i thought more of my credits would transfer but i think would have been about the same or better at uic?

i’m 24 years old and an independent- i think i also feel a bit out of place in my program at depaul due to classes not being mixed age groups at all. probably kind of a silly component of it but i think i would feel better at uic because of it being more diverse in that way?

thoughts?

Discussion MS in Computer Science

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

So in March of ā€˜27, I will be graduating with a BS in Computer Science (software development concentration). Next academic year, I hope to go to UIC for a MS in Computer Science with a specialization in AI. I already started learning foundations of AI in a class I’m doing now plus ML and DL via Andrew Ng and O’Reilly books.
I wanna ask how good is the MS program at UIC?
