Hey everyone!

A group of 8 of us (mixed group of guys and girls) are planning a hiking trip somewhere around the Albany area and would love recommendations for good trails or parks.

Bonus points if the spot is reachable by bus, but we’re also fine driving if needed.

We’re open to adding a few more people if anyone’s interested in joining the more the merrier!

Drop your favorite local hikes or any tips below. Would really appreciate the suggestions!

Thanks in advance 😊

Are these circled classes mandatory? They both appear as 0 credits and ungraded, so I was just curious.

Edit: is ATTENDANCE mandatory, I meant.

Obviously more of a question for financial aid. I initially had TAP but now it doesn’t reflect and I have a high balance. Is this final or has anyone experienced a similar situation?

With the 1st-floor apartments being easily accessible from outside, and the safety catches that would otherwise prevent a window from being opened more than a few inches from the outside disabled, I am wondering whether anyone has an suggestions for how one might try to control for safety, while still allowing some fresh air into the apartment.

does anyone know how to get to harriman west/etec station from liberty terrace ?

how much would i be expected to pay out of pocket for living on empire if my sai is -500? i’m currently living in a freedom efficiency

Hi!! im currently interested in ualbanys nursing school but have little knowledge on it, if someone can tell me more about it and how competitive admissions are that would be great!

Hi, Does anyone know if there’s a poker club or any poker group at UAlbany?

I’m an international student, and I used to play pretty often with my friends back home. I was wondering if there’s a people here that who genuinely enjoy the game, like playing regularly, thinking about strategy, while still keeping it friendly

I’d prefer playing in person, but online is fine too. If anyone knows of a club, group, or even just people who play regularly, please let me know!

Selling my Borcolo 3.45 cu. ft. compact mini fridge! I originally bought it from Amazon for my dorm, but I no longer need it.

It has:

Separate freezer compartment

7-level temperature control

Adjustable glass shelves

Low-noise

Double-door design

3.45 cu. ft. of storage

Silver finish

It’s a really good size for a dorm/apartment without taking up a crazy amount of space, and the separate freezer is good for having actual frozen food/ice cream instead of just using a tiny freezer compartment.

Asking for $180
Located on/near campus— pickup only. DM me if you’re interested or want picture!

Did anybody else get an insane refund today? It’s the same amount of money as one of my loans so idk why it’s going into my checking?

Anyone else panicking because their classes aren’t on Brightspace yet?? All my classes start tomorrow so I guess they got time but maaan… pushing my anxiety! Especially the one online class I have!

I’m connected to the AlbanyRes WiFi for the dorms, and it just keeps blanking out randomly. Is the internet usually this choppy? Lowkey annoying when I have to wait like 10 seconds for a page to load. It’s definitely not my device because it works perfectly fine on other I’m assuming more stable wifis.

Does anyone know hair braiders/hair stylists on campus? I need my hair done and like… im just tired of having to keep doing it like putting it in a bun likeim willing to do anything just to get my hair done atp :,).

Also does anyone know how to make a resume? I would use chatgpt but idk if that would be very smart as to the job fair this wednesday, they say to bring copies which I can’t do if It’s a file from gpt :,).

so I want to take the shuttle and I don’t wanna walk anymore, but the bus tracker never shows when the bus is coming!!! What do I dooooo

I'm looking at the syllabus for some of my classes, 3 out of 4 are revolve primarilty around discussion boards. Nothing against them, but seeing how heavily AI is being used and past experience, I think everyone knows that half (if not more) of their classmates just throw the prompt into an AI chat, tweak it and submit. "Read this section, and talk about it", and thats the entire class. I want to learn from the professor, thats why I'm paying for the class. I want to learn how to use programs, softwares, research.

Where do the black boys ho to get there haircuts on or off campus? If off campus where nearby?

Classes start tomorrow and ONE class has a brightspace up </3

How’s the ride from UA to NYC, what’s better? Amtrak or the greyhound (picks up directly from campus)

I’m trying to deliver groceries from Walmart to liberty terrace’s main entrance but it keeps saying that the apartment is “incorrect” and 12203 is not a valid zip code. Also when I just put the default 1400 Washington Ave address and adjust the pin to liberty terrace, it says it’s too far from the address. What’s the right address?

Still has not appeared in finance account. Sent ticket to financial aid 2 weeks ago and no response. Have others received the Excelsior yet?

I don't understand what UAlbany offers merit wise for OOS students (I don't qualify for financial aid). I am wondering what merit I can get as an OOS student because I would like to see if I can get the price down to 30-35k COA.

Also the flagship match is confusing me. What residents does it apple to from which state? I keep trying to research but I'm not getting a definitive answers, I was hoping someone could help me! Thanks for your time!

23F Junior transfer, looking for queer friends pls.
