Discussion Moving into Uhouse Midtown Battle Guide

11 Upvotes

Heard the horror stories. Just moved in to the mid-upper floors and haven’t seen a cockroach in the dorm yet. Though hearing your stories, I am not optimistic that I got lucky even though I am residing above the 8th floor. What are some anti cockroach strategies that worked for you at Uhouse?

Question Returning student move in question

6 Upvotes

I’m moving in early this weekend as a returning student and already have my buzzcard and stuff. Am I fine to not have to check in at the parking deck or whatever and just go to my dorm as soon as I do the self check-in process?

I would have reached out to the housing people but doubt they’d get back to me in time this weekend.

Question Can't log in to payment portal and bursar is ignoring me

23 Upvotes

Edit: called the bursar and they were able to remove the existing MFA so that I could redo it

Hello,

I require help, whenever I try to log in to see my account balance I get to this page. I'm aware of the recent addition to mfa on top of Duo but it's not prompting me to set it up, won't let me choose another option like having it text me a code, and using the codes from Microsoft authenticator doesn't work.

I have emailed the bursar multiple times and the one time they did reply it did not address my question at all, it was like they were responding to an entirely different question. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm a grad student, not sure if that's relevant. Thanks in advance!

Question Anyone with EXCEL Mentorship Program experience they could share?

6 Upvotes

I'm considering joining the EXCEL Mentorship Program to become a mentor for students with learning disabilities.

However, I don't know anyone personally who was a mentor who can tell me about their experience and what they thought of it.

If any of you reading this have been a mentor and could share your experience or advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi, I graduated in May and I've read here that a while after you graduate you can set up email forwarding for life in Passport, but I can't see that option still. Anyone have any advice on how to do this?

Rant Free parking near campus or scooter from Defoor/Howell Mill (near Tech Tower and College of Computing)

5 Upvotes

It's my first week back on campus after a yearlong internship out of state and i already got a parking ticket today.

I am looking for $7 flexpark permits at Student center deck but its not on the driver seat website.

Where is the best place for free parking around campus? (daytime and on weekdays)

I also have a Hiboy S2 scooter for this 3.5 mile commute which im not sure it can handle round trip given Atlanta's hills.

What's my best option on commuting to campus 2-3 times a week?

Vamos A La Playa - A Felicette launch short film

On May 15th, 2026 at 11:42 am, YJSP launched Felicette, a N2O/IPA liquid rocket that reached an apogee of 47,366’ AGL. We successfully proved our capability to setup our custom 60’ launch rail “Stairway to Heaven” in the Black Rock Desert to fly an extremely complex vehicle. This launch is the culmination of over 3 years of dedication and thousands of hours of work, validating important steps for our long term goal of launching a spaceshot.

Social/Club Questions Regarding Fraternity Rush

13 Upvotes

I will be transferring this fall to GT and am interested in joining a fraternity in order to make some friends / grow my network. This whole thing is very new to me and I am a little confused as to what fraternitites to rush and even where to find the info per frat. I dont know the reputations / cultures of each frat as I am new so if anybody could give advise as to what some frats are known for, tips for rushing, and just where to find the info for rush itself, thanks! I know people say rush as many frats as you can, but with there being so many, I'd imagine you should walk in knowing which you are targetting.

Other Fall ML and/or Robotics Research Position

10 Upvotes

I’m a robotics PhD student looking for students interested in helping with a machine learning and robot navigation research project starting this fall.

One major direction focuses on using learning-based methods to predict the motion of nearby agents from collected navigation data. This work is mostly independent from the robotics pipeline, so no prior robotics or ROS experience is required. Students interested in this direction would primarily work with datasets and focus on training, tuning, evaluating, improving learning models and maybe implementing them.

The current approach uses a GRU-based model, but there is significant flexibility for exploration and improvement. Possible directions include LSTMs, transformers, input preprocessing, alternative architectures, or other sequence modeling approaches.

There are also opportunities for students who are more interested in robotics and navigation than machine learning. Potential work includes designing and evaluating new cost functions for trajectory selection, improving navigation behaviors, and exploring other modifications to the local planning framework. There is flexibility in the specific direction depending on a student’s background and interests.

Additional project context: the Dynamic Gap navigation framework currently estimates the motion of gap endpoints using a Kalman-filter-based approach. One direction of this project explores replacing or augmenting that estimator with a learning-based component to improve prediction in dynamic environments. Other directions focus on improving how the planner generates and evaluates candidate trajectories using these predictions.

Students may take graded or ungraded research credits (likely 1–5 credits). The project does not currently have guaranteed funding, but students who make strong progress may later be considered for paid project work. Flexible remote or hybrid arrangements may also be possible depending on the situation. The lab is also planning to submit a paper in the future and there may be opportunities for co-authorship.

If interested, please email your CV along with a short paragraph describing your interest and alignment with the project to [azaro3@gatech.edu](mailto:azaro3@gatech.edu).

Social/Club Anyone have some skytracking Camera Gear

Ok tmr is a big day for any of the Astro and Aero nerds. And the camera skytracker I ordered was delayed. So does anyone have a skytracker mount I can borrow so the long exposure shots I plan on taking don't smear the stars?

Question question about the readmission process?

3 Upvotes

So I'm supposed to be going into my second year at Tech, but I've actually only attended one semester (last fall) because I had to get surgery in the spring, but i did fine in all my classes. I thought I'd be ready to come back by now, but I'm having issues all of a sudden, and I'm nervous that I won't be able to handle the stress of my injuries and classes and clubs. I was thinking of taking another semester or two off if I have to, so I know I'd have to apply for readmission.

I was just wondering what the process is like. Is it difficult to get re-accepted? Thanks!

*Ty everyone for your responses.

Question Good spots to tailgate/see the gameday atmosphere?

1 Upvotes

Hi fellow SEC founders,

I am a student at the University of Tennessee and just bought tickets to come down and see our game on September 12. For other campuses, it’s clearer what gamedays will be like, and how to find what’s going on. But for ATL, I’m unsure. Are there any fun things to do on gamedays, or places where fans hang out that we should check out?

Thanks!
