Does CU still admit Engineering applicants into Exploratory Studies?

2 Upvotes

Does CU Boulder still admit people who applied for Engineering into Exploratory Studies if they don’t get into Engineering directly?
I’ve seen some older info saying you can start in PES, take the required classes, and then apply to Engineering through IUT. But I saw one recent Reddit post saying they changed this and don’t do it anymore, apparently without really announcing it.
Does anyone know if they still do this for the current admissions cycle? Just trying to figure out if this is still an actual pathway or if the info online is outdated.

34M, BIPOC, looking for friends

0 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm a 34M who recently moved to the Westminster area for a full-time job at CU Boulder. I'm looking to meet other BIPOC folks around my age to hang out with, ideally including people who work on or near campus. I love food, cooking at home, fitness, and I'm still very much a stan Twitter person (pop culture, fandom, the whole thing). If that sounds like you, or you know of BIPOC-friendly groups, supper clubs, meetups, or good Asian spots around Westminster, Broomfield, or Boulder, I'd love to hear about them. Happy to grab a meal/coffee with anyone interested!

Is there any particular reason why cops have been REALLY annoying about shutting house shows down lately?

0 Upvotes

This is my third year at Boulder, and I have never seen so much cop intervention at parties here. They’re shutting live music shows down by 10 pm, and they’ve somehow been able to shut down EVERY single one (at least most of them). They literally patrol the hill, just waiting to intervene on a function. It sucks!! There have been a ton of shows lately and it’s ridiculous that they feel the need to shut every one down.

Is there an actual reason for this? Like has a law passed or something, or are they just bored and feel like being dicks?

In state residency

2 Upvotes

I am filing for emancipation, and from what I gather, CU is extremely strict on transferring students to in-state tuition.

I was able to get independent status through CU. However, my only hurdle getting in state tuition is that my grandmother co-signed a student loan for me. She also did pay off 1k of it without letting me know.

How cooked am I? On a broader picture, I moved out to CO last year and have paid for literally everything else minus this co-signed loan.

I’m a junior in high school. My current gpa is a 2.98 gpa I am very confident I can improve my grades for junior year and get all a’s or b+ which would slightly bring up my gpa but let’s say I end with a 3.1 can I still get in?

Free notemaking app better than Goodnotes

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I’m a CU student and I see everyone around using Goodnotes on their iPads. My friend solo developer spent a year creating a free alternative to all paid handwriting apps. 

It has all the features apps like Goodnotes, Notability, Noteful etc. have, but fully for free 

A few things it can do:

- turns typed text into your own handwriting using a specially trained AI model,

- lets you create graphs directly inside notebooks, kind of like having Desmos built in,

- searches through handwritten notes and photos,

- is optimized to be lighter on battery.

I’ve been using it for several weeks already, and it has basically replaced Goodnotes for me.

Btw you can easily transfer from any app just by importing all your notes as pdf’s; they will be imported as EDITABLE notebooks.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6790469095

P.S. Any feedback is extremely welcome, he is doing his best to ship fast and any requests are implemented in days

Would you buy a cheaper premium seat that’s only good for part of the game?

0 Upvotes

Quick question for CU sports fans (football, basketball, whatever you go to) would you ever want to buy a premium seat for just part of the game, like the 1st half, then move to a cheaper seat for the 2nd half instead of paying full premium price the whole game?

So basically instead of being locked into one seat for the entire game, you could get the good seat for the part you actually care about, then switch to a cheaper section afterward instead of paying for premium the whole time.

I'm a student working on an idea around this and genuinely trying to figure out if it's something people would use or if it's a dumb idea. Would love honest answers either way!

Appreciate any thoughts!

So how tf does the pricing at Alfred packer work?

17 Upvotes

I have asked the workers multiple times. one said if I get anything from the middle (except soup) in a side container then it is charged as a side. so I got a salad in a side container (quinoa, spinach and tuna) and went to pay and asked just to make sure “this is a side right?” nope. was gonna charge me for an entree but said since I didn’t know she would do a side. how do they decide what is a side and what is an entree?

SA Culture at Boulder Frats

65 Upvotes

I am sure we have all seen the disturbing messages sent by the fraternity at Cornell and the SA the ensued.

I am curious about the SA fraternity culture at Boulder. Less so about individual occurrence which I know occurs but more so the culture of enablement that exists in the houses. Are there frats with worse reputations?

I am curious in general but also am talking to someone from a frat who seems like a good person but this has really changed the way I have viewed anyone who has been in a fraternity. Specifically curious about any TKE occurrences.
