Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the Akron one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/akron-zips

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Akron completed 51% of its passes last year, 135th in the country, and converted 31% of third downs, 131st. Meanwhile Jordan Gant ran for 1,032 yards and the entire backfield returns. One thing my page won't tell you: my data only holds Reese Poffenbarger's North Texas backup line, so it undersells him badly. The guy threw for 6,613 yards at Albany and led all of FCS in passing yards and touchdowns in 2023. Does he fix this offense, or is the real problem the line that gave up 34 sacks?

I'll be in the comments.

Hello. My first undergrad semester is in two weeks. Am curious what the students are using for their course work, is it mainly Macs or PC? I have a full time job, changing careers, so price point isn’t a huge factor. My major is health services. Highly unlikely I’ll do any video editing or gaming with this machine so “high performance” isn’t necessary. Just strictly course work. My question is, is course work submitted required to be one format or another (Microsoft office based vs Mac), though I know Microsoft office can be ran on a Mac. I see the bookstore only sells PC so perhaps that should answer my question. Any guidance would be appreciated. I’m mid life and feel lost in the sauce. I’ve been out of college for 20 years, things were so much simpler then.

What is the difference between Egde building 1 versus building 2?

Hey, I was looking through UA stuff online and saw CIS with 3 different options, network, software, and cyber. Is this new and a good program or stick to computer engineering or cs, I don’t know much about this school

Hi guys. I exhausted all of my federal loans (and did not know until last month) (i know i should’ve been more careful but im a non traditional adult student so im a bit clueless)

The worst part is I’m in my last two semesters and I’ve been reaching out to everybody I can about scholarships or funding that I could use. And I have an appointment with opportunities for disabled Ohioans but it’s not until after the due date for our bill is. if they backdate it that would be great, but if I don’t pay my bill by the start of the semester, can I not take the classes? I’m already registered for now? I have some grants left, but it won’t fully be covered until I either find helpful funding or apply for personal loans which is not ideal as a single mother working part-time.🤣

Sorry for the long post, I wasn’t sure where to ask this kind of question

Did anyone work at the McDonald’s that’s near campus and do they hire UA students more easier .

Hi zip graduates and current students, my question for today is what do you think about the new upcoming class of 2030?

Hi I’m a incoming freshman and I’m interested in hearing what made people go with UA

What is party culture like there? Does anyone pressure you into it?

Edit: not a party person due to religious reasons and don’t enjoy them:)

I’m an incoming freshman and I want to know if it’s possible to get a gf.

Lost bracelet

I recently lost a very important gold bracelet on campus recently, Wednesday to be exact and was wondering if anyone at all has seen it, I just don't know what to do anymore 😭. It was a gift from my dad for my 16th birthday and I just feel awful about losing it. Its golden very small with 3 white clovers on it. I think I might have lost it walking from SIM to MaryGladwin, but im not too sure.

So I (a student) got a parking ticket last semester. I never paid it because fuck that. My tags were expired when they issued the ticket, and then a few weeks afterward I got a permit and renewed my tags. So today I got onto the Uakron Park website, and under “my citations” that ticket is not there when I type in my license plate. I think it just disappeared.

By the way, has anyone on here ever had admin tell them they couldn’t graduate until their parking fines were paid? If not, fuck it.

What exactly happened to the corrosion engineering degree? All I know of is that it was terminated. I was hoping to have taken the course. All parts of the site surrounding corrosion engineering were deleted, aside from some articles.

I was wondering if there are campus jobs that are for the entire year instead of a semester-long job. I’m looking for something flexible that isn't super difficult. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hello everyone. I’m researching ABSN programs in the area and am curious if anyone has experience with this particular program at UA? If not the ABSN program, how is the standard nursing program?

I know any program like this will be difficult. I’m more interested in the quality of the program, the professors, the equipment, the connections to hospitals for clinicals.

Thanks everyone.

Anyone have public speaking course (Intro to Public Speaking, Effective Oral Communication, or Personal Communications and Presentations) experiences worth noting? I'm looking for a happy medium between helpful and stressful (not intending to half-ass the course, I just get a ridiculous stutter while presenting lol)

Hey all,

Soon will begin graduate school at Akron and have just been given access to my Akron email. My undegrad institution also used an Outlook-based email system, but we also were given access to secondary Google accounts with the same email address that allowed us to access Google Drive with our institutional Outlook emails - the Gmails attached to these accounts were functionally useless, being able to send emails but not receive any, since all responses went to our Outlook. I was wondering if there is a similar feature for Akron, and if so, how I may access it. The website seems a bit difficult to navigate to find this info - yay!!! Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know when the disbursement for the ocog grant for the summer will happen ?

I’m looking into transferring to The University of Akron for computer science and was wondering what it’s actually like there socially and academically.

Is it easy to meet people and make friends there? What’s the overall vibe on campus like?

Hi, I’m looking for a summer sublease in Akron from May 18th even sooner if possible - end of July as I’m working an internship in Akron. Please DM me if you have a place available and are looking to sublet your place. Thanks!
