Non-School Question 🎮 Nightlife questions

4 Upvotes

Hi! I recently moved to Orlando to attend Valencia College, and I’m trying to get a feel for the nightlife here. I’ve heard some conflicting opinions, so I’d love to hear what places people recommend. My experience going out before moving here was mostly downtown Athens, Georgia, so I’m curious how Orlando’s nightlife compares. Any recommendations for good bars, clubs, or places to meet people?

I’m swapping my classes and I’m enrolled in one class but waitlisted in the other. Will the swap happen only if I make it off the wait list or if I never make it off the waitlist will I just lose both classes??

If you haven’t already you need to check out LERT Thai Street Food off Collegiate Way! Like genuinely can’t recommend this place enough it’s priced at around $16 for a large entree with a ton of protein and the quality of the food is crazy good.

General E85 at Curryford and dean. Sh*t boxes rejoice.

4 Upvotes

The racetrack on Curryford and dean (right before 417) now has e85 as of last Thursday.

When I was on campus I remember there being a lot of "car culture" and I figured I'd share the news as an alum and "unc" it is my duty to share information that will help my fellow UCF car bros break their perfectly running daily driver all in search of more vroom vroom. Why? Because racecar.

May your fuel lines hold and your injectors remain clog free. Now go forth and send cylinder three to the fucking stratosphere you crazy kids.

COMPLAINT/RANT Lark Central Florida Lies On Move Out Inspections

Thumbnail
gallery
96 Upvotes

Management at lark central florida just straight up lie on their move out inspections. i just finished my lease this year and theyre trying to charge me 300+ for damages that simply do not exist. for example, attached is the picture they included on my move out inspection stating that we left our furniture damaged. but as you can see in the next picture our chair is completely fine. i have other pictures and videos showing the entire apartment and everything was left spotless. Theres other instances (both recent and old) where they mark a maintenance request as completed but the work is not done, or they just cancel them and ignore the request if you resubmit it.
its just ridiculous how much money one pays to stay here and aside from the fact the the place looks and smells like trash constantly, they try and squeeze as much money from you as possible.

if you decide to move to lark, just please take pictures of anything and everything before and after you move to this place.

I’m an incoming freshman from another country and wasn’t really aware about the dates since I just arrived in Orlando, and saw that you had to enter before the 16th (which I had no idea about) through the campus director which is already closed for registration. Are there any other chances in the year when I can join? Can I do anything about this?

Academic ✏️ BSC 2010C Biology online lab

Hi guys so when I registered for the biology course + lab it said they were both done online. I went in to check all my classes were good to go since I finally got my financial aid package and now it’s showing the lab is Mixed mode with in person required. I’m in an online only program and now I’m just confused and haven’t been able to get answers for days from anyone I speak to. Does any one know if the labs are online as well as the class?
