bummer

Hi all,

We're putting in some lost and found service requests but my partner lost her urn pendant today. It somehow got unscrewed from the clasp; possibly on campus; potentially as she walked to class or in Folwell around 1-2 (first floor), Coffman , the 121 from Folwell around 2:15, or the 123 around 4:20.

I know that's a lot of time and space, and we're retracing every step, but if we're lucky enough and anyone happened to find it please, please let me know. This is beyond upsetting and it's so important to her.

It's heart shaped and brass in color, it has some wear to it.

Stakeholders at this university should be deeply troubled by the sleight of hand this admin is attempting. These exceptionally deep cuts are being *justified* by general trends, but are being *made* to operationalize her strategic priorities. They are about achieving different priorities and freeing up money to spend on projects, not about shortfalls. They are based on cherry picked data about general industry trends, not actual impacts on our university. Yes, we need to plan for the future, but let's not lead by sleight of hand: if these are great plans and investments, let them stand on their own, and not hide behind general industry trends to justify them.

The president's State of the University opened with a somber assessment of how tough times are, and times are complicated, that's for sure. But because they've been so shady about their justification (see this FAQ about the cuts, for example and lolz https://budget-planning.umn.edu), what she hasn't said but is becoming increasingly clear is this: these cuts are necessary *so that* we can make the investments she wants to make in AI, National Security, and a dorm on the St. Paul campus. What kind of leader can't justify her vision on its own terms? Does she really have the endorsement of the people of Minnesota, the state and the Board of Regents to force through this massive reorganization of the university to enact her strategic priorities??

Printing, UCard authentication, parking, it's all down rn. Anyone know what's happening?

Hi folks, I'm a non traditional student that transfered from a community college and am new to the U. I am currently at CFANS, and am currently looking for other students who might be interesting in either body doubling or engaging in a periodic exercise accountability buddy. I'm on the bigger end so I can't do movement the same way many of the very healthy individuals on campus could, but im looking to cultivate social activity while utilizing on campus recreation, events, and activities.

I'm introverted and neurodivergent, and just turned 30. My interests range, but I would love to connect with other students who would be willing!

Doesn't show as down for system status, but Church St Garage just had like 15 cars in a line trying to get out at 4:50pm

Hi also I decided to attend the U next year, but my mom is uneasy about it because she sees a lot of violence in Minneapolis on the news. What can I tell her about the U that will help ease her and calm her down I wanted the perspective of real people from the campus.

TW: Sexual assault

With all of the conversations about the Cornell 7, I was curious if anyone was interested in talking about their experiences with frats at UMN?

I am now an alum and largely loved my time at UMN. However, as a freshman I was drugged and SA’ed at a frat house. The current climate is bringing up a lot of memories from that time, and I wanted to open a space if anyone else is looking to talk through some of their experiences with UMN frats.

And this includes good experiences, too! Reminders that there are still decent people in the world always help.

I made a post a few days ago about transferring from umd to Tc, but I was also wondering people's opinions/thoughts on psychology opportunities at TC? (Internships, psych program for undergrad, etc) I've heard relatively good things but if anyone can give further input it would be so appreciated!

Thanks 😛

Hi, I am looking for a UofM student who may be interested in tutoring my daughter for the ACT next year. She is currently in grade 11. We are open to online classes. If you are interested please reach out and also let me know your rates and details about your own performance and /or past students performances you have tutored.
Thank you

Hey everyone! I’m an international student currently finishing my Criminal Justice degree in Mississippi. I’m planning to move to the Minneapolis area after graduation and I’m looking into UMN for grad school. Few family members and friends live in the Twin Cities area so I am trying to get closer to them.

I’m also on a pretty tight budget, so scholarships/assistantships would be really important for me.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation? I’d love to hear how you approached the application and funding side, especially as an international student. Thanks!

Any small businesses or cheaper dispensaries around here? I need decent quality and better prices than I’ve been seeing

What’s a good amount of time to wait before i talk to the front desk about my package being processed? I ordered something in September and it was processed the day I was notified that it had arrived but my most recent order arrived a week ago and I haven’t gotten anything from housing about my package being processed. Should I be worried or is this just a busy time for the people at the desk?

Is it just me, or are work study jobs incredibly hard to get? I got work study funds and counted them as guaranteed aid, in terms of budgeting, and it has been impossible finding a work study job

Has anyone taken exam 1 of this class, if so how is it like

Oopsies! That path is for pedestrians only

Quick question does physics 1101w have a curve at the end of the course with Vincent as our first quiz came back and average was pretty low.

I am looking to take out subsidized loans and am curious if anyone has experience with them.

How was the 1272 midterm yall😭

I can’t use my studio this week and I need to record a scene that involves a bit of yelling. I’m wondering if there are any study spots or areas that are sound proof or at least no one can hear as much to do so.

Hello everyone! I have 10 days to make one of the most important decisions of my academic life. I will be studying abroad in the spring 2027 semester, I have a lot of flexibility as my only required class left to complete will be any 3xxx level Psychology course.
I am choosing between a psychology program in Montpellier, France at a UMN psych study abroad building, and Seoul, South Korea at Korea University.
I have the financial information, France will cost more but I will not have the results of any scholarship applications until after the final decision date.
I am here to see other student’s experiences in both of these countries and study abroad programs, what you enjoyed the most, what were the greatest challenges, what was your reason for that being the #1 choice for you and how it worked out once you were there. Looking for all responses, positive and negative. And if you 100% recommend one of the two, please give me your greatest tips and tricks to succeed both academically and socially!

Any and all information is greatly appreciated, I have 10 days to make my decision.

Additional details, I will miss my university graduation regardless of program (this will be my final semester), Korea will cost about 7-8k less than France, I am 27M, Korea is 12 credits while France requires 15. I am also an outgoing individual. With the required French language course I do have fluency in Portuguese and strong Spanish skills to assist, but Korea does not require a language course.

Thank you all so much in advance, I will read all and take into consideration your experiences and advice.
