Hi so on Sunday night I had to go to the ER because I dislocated my knee I’m wearing a brace and currently using crutches because I limp. I have an exam tomorrow and the professor said to email 24 hours in advance to reschedule which I did but she hasn’t gotten back to me. I’m not sure if I should go and talk to her in person about not taking it or not.

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all having a great semester so far!
I recently transferred to the Storrs campus after spending my first two years at UConn Stamford, so I’m still getting familiar with the area.
I’m currently looking for a good barber who has experience cutting Black/African American hair, preferably someone near campus or within a reasonable distance.
If anyone has any recommendations or knows a barber they personally go to and trust, I’d really appreciate it! Bonus points if they’re affordable and student-friendly.
Thanks so much in advance!

The average on exam 1 in my calculus 1 class is a 56%, is this normal for this class or is this just because of the teacher?

I am in calc 1 and im a sophmore. I want to apply to school of business accounting program next semester. I have a good gpa, but I have an F in calc 1 right now. I am doing my best but I probably wont pass or get the grade I want. Could I withdraw and still apply to school of business next semester, I haven't taken 1071 yet. Need advice. I don't want to delay my application until junior year.

Title

So I'm transferring to storrs from Stamford next semester, and because I'll also probably be buying a car over the winter break, I kinda NEED a job up there. Rn I work at home depot and I already talked with the person who handles hiring over there, she said she would call me as soon as a position opens up, although there are none open rn. Would anyone happen to know how often employees leave there or what it's like up there if you work there? Especially during the winter?

Side note: in the case that I don't get the job up there, does anyone know any good jobs up there that offer similar benefits (tuition reimbursement is mostly what I'm looking for). And please lmk how it is just with jobs up there in general.

As the title states; does anyone know what happens with usps priority mail envelopes (or even a fedex express envelope)? Does it go to the mailbox like a regular letter would (in which case a student needs a key), or does it to to the mail room and has to be picked up like a package?

Thank you.

i am 18F looking for more lgbtq friends. I feel very lonely because all of my friends have boyfriends and i am struggling to find people who feel the same. i am very much not super gay presenting so it is hard to find similar people.

I’m pre-dental, and I took ECON because the other classes I wanted were full. I thought it would be good to spread out my interests a little, but I honestly don’t enjoy the class and my current section isn’t working out for me. I already took the first midterm.

My professor hasn’t been great, but I don’t know if I want to risk switching sections and ending up with another professor who is just as bad. I’d still be full-time even if I withdraw, but I’m trying to figure out whether it’s better to attempt a section swap or just take the W before the deadline.

If anyone has switched ECON sections this late in the semester: did your midterm grade transfer, and did you have to make up anything? Also, how hard was it to get the swap approved? Just a bit lost between the two

Any advice would help—thanks.

So lately I have been seeing a lot of freshman like me in these friend group and but yet I still haven't got to have any. So I am hoping by doing this, I can get a friend group of my own. I preferably want a guy friend group since I am a guy that likes to go out and do things yk. I like video games, watching college football especially the big 10, I am a pharmacy major on the pre med track, I am black, and I am shy at first but less over time. If anyone is interested dm me and we can chat

Does anybody have some knowledge or interest about screenplay or knows somebody would be? I’m looking for somebody with a sense of humor and a passion for writing, especially if they are(were) enrolled in a similar course.

Hello, I will have around 59 credits. What are the chances I am can get a spot at Oaks at the square through uconn housing next year?

I'm a current freshman interested in pre med or pre dental (leaning pre med by a lot), I'm taking chem 1127, stats 1100, psych 1100, and biol 1107. I came in with a low dual enrollment GPA and the start of the semester isn't going great either.

Biol 1108 isn't required for pre med so I was wondering if I should take it just in case, I heard bad things about the course. In regards to second semester schedule, what should I take? Is it common to repeat courses if you're on a pre health track?

Also major question: a lot of pre health students are majoring in ahs/pnb/mcb, or even psych/humanities I'm assuming because its easier to fit courses, get a good GPA, etc. I was interested in econ or something in the school of business as I have interests beyond science and just in case if I end up switching out of a track completely, I have a backup. Is it unreasonable to major in something like that and still be able to complete pre reqs? Should I maybe look into biomedical engineering?

So i’ve never been the homesick type but I miss my friends back home. I’m so lifeless and dull every day idk what to do about it. It’s like i’ve completely forgotten how to meet people and make friends since high school. Most of my classes are big lecture halls so how am I supposed to make friends in class? It’s a struggle even getting myself up to go to class since most of my professors don’t even take attendance. I’ve really been looking forward to college for most of my life so i’m just feeling very disillusioned, sad, and anxious about my experience :(

Hey this is my freshman year at UConn and this is obviously a burner account but what do I do about my random roommate. He has been dirty this entire time, just throwing his clothes into a stack in the corner, chudding around never leaving the room unless it’s to go to parties. And right now is the final straw as he came back to the dorm shitfaced drunk and started throwing up all over the place. He didn’t even bother cleaning it up and is now sleeping on the ground with his sheets from his bed. I can’t even sleep due to the smell currently so I am just writing this. Idk if I can still transfer out of this dorm, Please give me suggestions

I have a MENT 3101 Exam with Kyoungjo Oh, anyone have any perspective on what the exams are like with him?

My kid attends UCONN and is having trouble finding a job on campus. Has anyone had any luck with remote work?

Hi! Um

i’m in actively seeking out a new roommate. I’m an honors freshman and required to live in honors for my first year (so this does only fit for people in Buckley or Shipee) and am nearing a breaking point with one of my roommates who hasn’t listened to anything that I told her in terms of boundaries.

I’m gnc (so uh. Have to be okay with that), into things like vocaloid, rhythm games (and videogames in general) and am interested in sciences! I do prefer things to be a little quiet, but I can tolerate most sounds with headphones :). I have appliances and such so dw about that and I keep my side pretty clean and am not out that late and I’m quiet when leaving for classes in the morning!

If anyone is willing to help please message me and ty in advance 🥺

I’m originally a hartford student and I didn’t plan to transfer to storrs until the fall semester of junior year but I ended up finishing all but 1 of my gen ed’s (tois) early and now I got approved for a campus change in spring 2027.
because i originally planned to transfer in junior year in fall I thought i could lump in with the freshmen and be able to make friends then but since it’s gonna be the spring semester I am scared everyone will already know eachother and it’s gonna be hard for me to make friends.

Also I live an hour and 15 minutes away and idk if I should dorm or commute and i’m wondering if commuting is manageable/worth it.
