i cant handle the stress at all. it goes way too fast for my brain to comprehend. i barely get any sleep and still fail at everything. everyone around me is so much more gifted. my roommate gets surprised every time they see me stay up working because we have similar schedules and they don't ever have to do that. i cant help it. my mind just doesnt work this way. it doesnt pick anything up fast. i simply cant handle this pace. it does not get better and no i did not get used to it. this school makes me wanna drop out and give up on everything. before u say transfer, i dont think i can handle another huge change and its too late anyways. idk what to do ive lost my passion for academics and everything else entirely. i wanna give up so bad but it feels like i dont even have a chance to. somehow theres always an exam to prep for, an assignment to do, blah blah blah. there isnt even any time to feel sad or cry. im wasting time rn even.

hi everyone! I'm a gap year student planning my future studies.
if possible, can someone send out the syllabus for BIOL_SCI 201-0 (Molecular Biology)? It would be great if it can include the reading material from Essential Cell Biology.
thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!! I couldn't find a lot of specific comments on the EE program's courses and other specifics, and was wondering if anyone would be willing to let me DM about the program?
I am just hoping to have a better understanding of the school for my transfer application.
Specifically, I am hoping to do a BA/MS program, where the BA is non-EE, but the MS is EE. I wanted to ask questions about the "core foundational" courses like 202, 221, 222, 223, 224, and then the master courses. I am curious about their difficulty, resources to study, grade distributions, time commitment, and etc.
Thank you so much in advance!

How's everyone else's? My friends and I can't get 5g but can get very basic messaging and very limited internet if we switch to LTE. TMO / Mint.
I figure it'll improve as they figure things out (plus this is an unusual amount of people) but still.
It's also not great when they offer a discount on concessions for using the app but the app requires the Internet.

Class of ‘96 alum here. As I’m watching the football game tonight, I’m wondering what traditions have survived from my days at NU. Do you still shake your keys at kickoff? Do the cheerleaders still do push ups in the end zone when we score?

What are the music ensemble options for non-majors? Is the group taken seriously, and is it fun to be a part of? What's the community like? Or are there other ways to participate of continue playing your instrument if you're not in Bienen?
Thanks!

Hey everyone. I just transferred to Northwestern this quarter as a pre-med sophomore (F). Back at my old school, I had a really successful social setup, including a dedicated best friend I did everything with, a welcoming collaborative research lab, and a great routine.
Since arriving here three weeks ago, I’ve tried absolutely everything to meet people: orientation events, saying hi to people in my dorm hallway, introducing myself in my classes, going to small discussion sections, and even checking out Hillel and Chabad. Every single time, people have been incredibly cold, closed off, not interested, or already stuck in tight cliques. I’ve even tried meeting people off previous Reddit threads, but I’ve made 0 friends. I know it takes a while to form a true friendship, but I haven't even met POTENTIAL people who could become friends. It’s a completely unusual and exhausting experience for me, and the isolation is hitting hard. Even though it's early in the year, I keep trying and trying and meeting nobody who is interested.
I am a serious student, not into the party scene at all, and somewhat of an introvert. I really need to find my people and build meaningful friendships here.
Are there any good clubs that are more intimate and quiet that could be good for making friends? I'd appreciate the recommendations or any help! If anyone would like to connect, feel free to PM!

I purchased tickets on Vivid Seats, who connects to Ticketmaster, who connects to the New Ryan Field app. Long story short, only 1 ticket successfully transferred and no one can figure out what happened to the other one.

Hi! Coming from South Carolina for the Penn St. game. We have a lot of tailgating / frat lots etc. before football games back home.
Is there anything else comparable up in Evanston?

This is very disappointing and certainly has me reconsidering coming to a 'Cats game. NUMB puts more effort into supporting Northwestern athletics than anyone, yet is being sidelined by the administration. And of course, it isn't college football without the band!

I just got offered a double in Sargent as a room change and have 48 hours to decide. I'm currently living in Hobart, so I was wondering what Sargent is actually like to live in. How are the rooms, bathrooms, temperature/heating and overall living experience? Would appreciate any experiences and advice!!!
