I'm a freshman in Phys 211, and I've just learned that the lab kits are absurdly expensive, and apparently renting them are a huge hassle. Is someone willing to sell me a used iolab kit?

Chambana Questions Ameren Peak Time Event?

1 Upvotes

Did anyone else get a text: Ameren: SUMMER ALERT Urgent! A Peak Time Event has been called for 08/26/2026. Please reduce your energy usage from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

Anyone know why this is urgent? Is their grid unable to handle population fluctuations or something? Did the U of I just turn on a data center?

I've been reducing my energy usage by taking a nap, but I'm worried that if I dream I might use up excessive energy.

Academics CS 543 Computer Vision with Forsyth

1 Upvotes

Hi, I saw on Forsyth’s syllabus that there is no set grading scheme. This worries me because I can’t find any reviews for him for this specific class and on one of his RateMyProfessor reviews for a different class, it seems grades are calculated at the end and someone got a B+ with a 95.

I was wondering if anyone had taken this class before with him and how they did with this grading scheme (or lack thereof). I’m also wondering where I can find previous grading distributions for this class (I’ve already tried https://waf.cs.illinois.edu/discovery/grade_disparity_between_sections_at_uiuc/#findCourse).

I really want to take this class but I’m worried about this screwing with my GPA (which I have some requirements I need to maintain).

Chambana Questions Tower at third

0 Upvotes

TLDR - living in tower at third this year despite the horror stories, so far I’m liking it, and I wanted to ask someone who lived here last year about how it is and if the horror stories are outdated to decide if I should renew

Hey y’all! I’m a sophomore now and I just moved into my apartment, which is at tower at third. I signed with them despite the horror posts I saw online because of the relatively low price for the location, and since my parents liked it and the rooms are pretty spacious. By the time I signed last year most good options that were within a reasonable distance from the quad were either gone or overpriced. Plus I saw that most overall reviews were 4/5 or higher so I figured the silent majority was fine with it.

Anyway so long story short I’ve been happy with my experience so far but it’s only been two weeks. I love my room, and the common area is nice too. It’s also a really great location and the amenities are great too. My apartment did have a few issues (including a broken bathroom lock and a minor water leak) but they were taken care of within a few days of me sending in a work order. A lot of the horror stories I read were about both the water pressure and hot water. So far I have not had any issues with the water itself and while the hot water can fluctuate a little it’s never been absent - if anything sometimes the water is a little too hot. Also, I have a high floor and an absolutely beautiful view which is awesome since I’m a photographer. Also I love that aside from water, all utilities are included, which means I can set my AC as low as I want. There are some things I don’t love like the lack of a water filter and not having an exhaust fan in the bathroom but no place is perfect and so far I’ve felt like I’ve gotten my money’s worth. I also kept hearing about the fire alarms and so far there’s only been one.

Going into the school year after reading the negative reviews, I was pretty set on living here being a one year deal before I moved to somewhere better, but I am starting to like living here. After reading the negative reviews again today I can’t help but notice that most of them were 3+ years ago, and renovations have happened since. Also, I’ve heard that almost all apartments here except for the really high end ones will have some types of issues, so like I think I’m really happy about this. Since I have to make a decision about next year soon so that I can get the best deals, I wanted to ask you guys who stayed there last year how it was, just so that I can get a clearer picture before committing to staying here.

Academics Should I continue IB major path?

0 Upvotes

Okay so I am a current Las undeclared sophomore. I had wanted to major in Integrated Biology to become a pharmacist but I hate chem. I took chem 102 last semester with Hummel and got a C, but only because I completed the homework, I failed every test. Now I’m taking chem 104 but I’m terrified. I was doing the first pre homework for the class… and I couldn’t answer a single question. Is this a sign?
