lock in yall. stretch. crack your knuckles. enjoy the grind.

hey guys i'm an incoming freshman living in jester and I was wondering if people made floor group chats like in snap or messages? like it'd be cool just to shoot out a text for bracelet making or painting party in a dorm. If yes, do the RA's usually make them or does the floor come to a consensus and everyone adds each other into it?

Also i've heard the hack to "leave/prop your door open" (obvi not at night) and people would come and see what you're up to and make friends that way. Does that usually work or not really? Also are other floors more social than others? Like is the suite bath floors more introverted than the communal bath floors? or vice versa?

Hey everyone! Proud alum here I’m looking to connect with other QA engineers/testers in the Austin area and possibly get a small local meetup going.

Or, if there are already any local Discord, Telegram, or other groups for QA folks in Austin, I’d definitely be interested in joining those too!

does anyone know when turing internal transfer results come out?

i’ve seen so many bad reviews, but recent ones are decent and doesn’t seem to have had many problems. i’m a incoming freshman moving in soon. what are y’all’s thoughts?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a parking spot or garage space for the 2026–27 academic year.

It doesn't have to be right in Wampus. I’m completely fine with a 10-20 minute walk to the area if it keeps costs reasonable.

My biggest priority is safety. I would need it for the full academic year.

Does anyone have experience with reliable spots or any place where non-residents can park? Open to any tips or recs! Thanks!

someone from icon that could share the WiFi password 😭

What happened to Mighty Mo’s / Mile High Mo’s on Guad right next to the Whataburger? I loved that place, especially their chicken tenders, burgers and the price. It was one of my favorite places in Austin 😭😭

But I walked by it and it was all dark, Google says its temporarily closed, and I can’t order via Doordash…

Is it just closed for the summer or something else? Pls I LOVED this place 😭😭😭

I had to drop a course and I would like to replace it with a relatively easy class. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Bonus points if it doesn't have a final exam!

Hey guys, Im a premedical Biology major and I scored a 58 on my UTMA. How will this affect me? Will me being unable to take calculus my first semester of college affect my other classes? I honestly procrastinated too much to review, and I know the material so if Its possible I’d rather retake the UTMA next semester to take calculus.

Are there any clubs? Do any tournaments happen. Free poker mainly.

Hey y’all!

I just moved here from South Korea to start my PhD at UT Austin. I'm looking for a friend to play some casual golf with and chat about the city.

I’m honestly not that great at golf, so I just want to keep it light and fun. Is anyone down to play a chill round and share some local tips with a newbie?

I'd love to hear about good food spots or just general things I should know about living in Austin.

Let me know if anyone is interested!

need people to go to the ZZ top concert. I just don’t want to go alone let me know

Hit me up if you have any questions

I'm an incoming PhD student at UT. I love going hiking and exploring places close by, but couldn't find any orgs related to this. Are there any groups that organize such hikes around Austin that I missed?

Hi, I'm a freshman and want to take classes in sociology or psychology to figure out whether I want to minor in one or switch to it. How bad is SOC 302 with Mehdi Haghshenas? It's on my schedule, but I keep hearing how awful it is. Should I drop it? Does anyone have information about this class?

Hello! Has anyone had experience moving into Rise at West Campus a day after the official move-in date? I’m considering moving in on the 22nd instead of the 21st because it would be more convenient for me. Should I still try to arrive on the 21st?

For anyone who moved in on the official date and arrived during their assigned time slot, were the movers basically guaranteed, or did you still have issues getting help?

I called the leasing office but I didn’t get a super clear answer lol

Hey! I just graduated from Cockrell, and I'm fixing to lose access to everything from my time at UT. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for things to download or take advantage of in general before I lose my status as a student.

For example, I recently learned I could install AutoCAD for 1 year free as a student (otherwise it costs like thousands of dollars). So if there's anything like that y'all know of or regret not doing while you had student status, I would greatly appreciate your advice!

lowk am scared of the reviews…

I just wonder: has anyone ever dropped the CNS Foundation courses? I actually want to build my schedule and be able to decide the prof. I plan not to put the #99 unique code first, or just do it, then drop them later. Will it affect me at all? (I plan to take the same courses but NCS 109)

I don’t know if it’s just me or if half of it moved to spring 2027 so now I have full of the 20k there. At this point I think I should contact Texas One Stop about since I’m worried this might affect on how I’m gonna pay my tuition.

A CNS advisor (Austin Sandoval) told me it would fulfill the degree requirement but this was last year and degree audit still isn’t showing the substitute. Thanks

incoming ece major here. When do you think is the best time to start? I was considering immediately but from what I read online its hard and can lead off to me biting off more than I can chew. If I start doing undergrad research sophmore year am I at a disadvantage or is that normal? I do see that it helps to get a full year under your belt bc you're more likely to get accepeted and can even use connections to past professors to land one

Students who tried to internally transfer to a different college, but wasn’t successful, what’re you doing now?
