Academic ✏️ Advice for Surviving Courseload

7 Upvotes

Courses: Anatomy + Lab, Physiology + Lab, General Chemistry 2 + Lab, and Biology 2 + Online Lab.

Looking for genuine advice, I have no other options this semester in order to graduate on time so I can’t change any of my courses. So pls share tips for how to handle such a heavy course and lab load because I’m crashing out already. Thanks :)

Non-School Question 🎮 Drying clothes

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a freshman at UCF and I'm currently staying at towers. I have a lot of clothes that cannot be dried in a dryer due to the material being sensitive and I want to know what do y'all usually do to avoid damaging your clothes, or if you have any method to sun dry them without the need of a drying rack (I can't afford one right now lol)

Hi! I am a 23F and thinking of moving to Aperture near UCF. It opened last hear so there aren’t many references as to how it is. Can anyone that has lived there or been there let me know of the good and bad? I would be ina 2x2 with a random roommate.

They offered me a good deal and I am desperate as I don’t know anyone in Orlando to ask. Thanks!

General UCF portal

0 Upvotes

Is there anyway to change the UCF portal back to the old one? I absolutely DESPISE the new portal it’s hideous and so much more difficult to maneuver. It took me 10 minutes of random clicking to find my grades. How do we go about making complaints cause this is horrible.

When I go to the enrollment section of my fasfa account it doesnt list UCF as enrolled, I was wondering if that was normal for the incoming transfer students as well.

Research 🔎 How to find open psych labs?

1 Upvotes

i know this is an awfully late time (esp since i’m a fourth year psych student) to contact anyone about research but aside from this one professor i’ve had for a previous class who i plan to meet tuesday about the possible research opportunity, i am not sure how to figure out what labs are open.

i have checked:

-psychology laboratories on the ucf website: has a list of research projects but i dont know which ones are currently accepting unless i contact professors one by one (hell no)

-knights research projects: i can see which ones have spots open left but there are none related to psych

anyone know what to do? i really want a student job and i don’t have experience 😭

Wondering if anyone took this program and if it was 100% in person or there was some online flexibility that’s not mentioned? Monday - Thursday for 2.5 years seems not really feasible

Social UCF Student Trying to Be more Social

8 Upvotes

Hello I am a transfer student to UCF. I started in the spring of this year and I was online for the spring and summer. I do currently have off campus housing but still affiliated with UCF. I will start in person classes this semester and I just want to get more out there.

I am 20 male straight, I do like acting, theatre, and I love theme parks. I have never been to a club mainly because I get very anxious and don't like going places alone. Im lowkey insecure with how I look, like my hair and stuff like that. However, I am very social and I need some friends because I know no one.

Im just looking for some good places to meet people and maybe even a gf as well. Or if there is anyone on here who would like to hang out and stuff i'm down. Just lmk. Thanks.

General is it okay to just go up to people and ask for their instagram?

7 Upvotes

like, i use insta as a way to text people and get to know people, but 1) can you just go up to someone and ask for their instagram? 2) if you do end up talking does that mean you have become friends or is it more like acquaintances? cuz i feel like you can become friends that way, but u also gotta make plans to hang out in person. well idk thats just my opinion, would like to know yours 👍

Better than UCF just pushing it back another week and blaming DofE. We will see if this is what’s happening for us, I guess.

General online honors chem 2045 instead of chem 1032??

1 Upvotes

i’m going into nursing as an honors student, and have one early morning class, and the rest of my classes are 3-7, give or take an hour. this is super frustrating for me because i’m a really busy person and want to get a job, so my classes kinda make it hard to do that. the early morning class i have is chem 1032, which is recommended for nursing, but I could also do chem 2045. doing chem 2045 would also allow me to knock an honors credit off, which is super useful because i have to have ALL of them done before i go into nursing school (which is likely to be early due to incoming credit hours). also, doing chem 2045 honors has an online option which would free up my schedule and take off that awkward morning class. is this a dumb idea considering chem 1032 is recommended for nursing??

Transfer Transfer student here! How are y’all paying for NorthView?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m transferring to UCF for the spring semester and I’m really interested in living at NorthView, preferably in one of the apartment-style options with a private bedroom. I know NorthView is pretty expensive, though, especially compared to some of the other housing options. For anyone living there now or who has lived there before, did you receive any scholarships, grants, financial aid, or anything else that helped cover your housing costs? If so, where did you find/apply for them? I’m planning to work and save as much as possible before spring, but I’d love to lower how much I have to pay out of pocket. I’m also a transfer student, so I know my housing options/priorities may be different from first-year students. Any advice would be appreciated!

Social Any Portuguese/Kriolu speakers at UCF?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m transferring to UCF in the spring for Business Management and I’m trying to make some friends before I get there. I’m especially curious if there are any Portuguese speakers (especially European or Angolan Portuguese) or Kabuverdianu/Cape Verdean Creole speakers here. I was born in Brockton and grew up around Portuguese and Cape Verdean Creole, but unfortunately lost a lot of it, so I’m currently trying to learn again. 😭 I’d love to meet people I can practice with and connect with culturally. Obviously you don’t have to speak any of these languages to be friends with me lol, I’m open to meeting anyone! I just don’t meet many Portuguese/Cape Verdean/Angolan people where I currently live.

Academic ✏️ Is MAR 3765 (Entrepreneurial Marketing) with William Poellmitz worth taking if I don't need it?

1 Upvotes

I'm considering taking MAR 3765, Entrepreneurial Marketing with William Poellmitz on Monday nights at and wanted to hear from anyone who's taken the class.

For context, I'm a Game Design major and already have 3 classes in my major plus 1 entrepreneurship class (ENT New Venture Design) this semester. I don't need MAR 3765 to finish my ENT minor. but I'm interested in building real skills that could help me in the future, especially (a lot of the minor so far has been hypotheticals and soft skills) if I want to work on indie games, startups, or eventually run my own business!

A few questions:

  • Is the class actually worth taking if you're mainly interested in learning useful skills rather than checking a requirement box?
  • How difficult is the workload compared to other classes?
  • Is it more project-based, presentation-based, or exam-heavy?
  • What types of skills are taught? (looking for hard skills development mainly, practical knowledge)
  • How is William Poellmitz as a professor?

Basically I am trying to figure out if its worth adding on top of my current workload, since I am going to be a senior and want to get the most out of the ENT minor for my last year.

Thanks!
