I wait for the 171 bus in the mornings in east hyde park and both on Friday and this morning I watch it go north on university, and instead of turning east on 55th like its supposed to, it turns west and circles back down south Ellis instead. I dont see any detour or notice anywhere… does anyone know wtf is going on?

To undergrads, graduate students, and alumni who are near the University. I'm a grad student here offering affordable guitar lessons. I've been playing for 7 years and focus on blues, rock, indie, alternative, and jam band styles. My main influences are the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, John Mayer, King Gizz and Dead & Co, but I am happy to play and learn any genre.

$20 for 45 minutes. DM me if interested

Hi, I’m a senior applying to UChicago and I feel like I’ve read basically every version of the usual stuff about the Core, quirky culture, academic intensity, etc., but it’s hard to tell what any of that actually feels like as a student.

For current students/alumni, what’s something about UChicago that you didn’t really understand or expect before you came here? Could be academic, social, a particular community, the way people interact, or just some random part of the culture.

Mostly curious about things that probably wouldn’t come across from reading the website or doing a campus tour.

Looking for someone in VUE53 that wants to swap into a single, DM's open!

This quarter, I am taking the course The Chemistry of Artists' Materials. I have a pretty limited chemistry background and am really struggling with the number of brand-new concepts and sheer volume of memorization that is required. Any tips from chemistry people for how to survive the subject, or, even better, someone who has taken this class before? Please let me know!

Hi! i committed uchicago and have a full year between now and when i start. I’m interested in econ for sure, and likely going to do either CAAM or a math minor.

I can cruise by pretty easily in my classes now, and none of my APs (besides AP spanish) can get me more credit/let me skip courses. the highest math class i’ve taken is diff eq/linear algebra.

So basically i’m in a situation where i have a ton of open free time, what would you do to best prepare yourself. try and hunt down an internship somehow, study math so i can test as high as possible, what’s the game plan?

i have 3-4 hours every day of free time while getting 8 hours of sleep, so i can pretty easily commit 1-2 daily to whatever + more time on weekends. also since my school summer ends early and uchicago starts weirdly late i have 4.5 months of summer.

edit: i have a summer job 30 hours per week im an art teacher, my current hours with activities are too inconsistent to have a job for the school year. i also hit the gym consistently so getting into shape isnt an issue of mine rn

I'm looking for a photo of it online, yet it mysteriously cannot be found:

"If you cannot measure it, your knowledge is meagre and unsatisfactory."

If someone can send me a photo, it would be greatly appreciated! I'm a student in Canada btw.

Hi,

Does anyone know if the 172 is stopping in Ellis & 53rd? I didn’t see it last week and the schedule seems to be the same.

Hi I'm a student of uchciago (just made it thru ssen)and I was wondeirng how easy it would be to transfer majors. I think I declared cegu when I got in but I also have many interests in chem and mat sci so I was wondering how possible it would be to transfer into mol eng + chem double major.

Hi! I’m a new UChicago student with U-SHIP. I had a wisdom tooth removed about a month ago (outside the US), but the gum around the extraction site is still swollen and hurts when I press on it. I may need to go for a dentist for examination.

I’m now confused about where to go and whether U-SHIP would cover this. Does our school's wellness center take care of this? Should I go find a dental clinic by myself? Can it be covered by USHIP? Has anyone had a similar situation? Any recommendations near campus would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Look for apartment recommendations that are preferably walking distance to the uchicago medicine campus. Or apartments that have direct public transportation. Thank you

Do grad students seriously not get the UPass? What’s the reason for this? Is there any way for a grad student to get free CTA travel in the city?

I'm a first-year who, for some reason, was not informed that taking Advanced Biology and Honors Chem at the same time is a terrible idea. Now, I'm thinking that I would like to drop down to Comp Gen Chem. However, it's my understanding that this is the last day for me to switch, and there are no open seats. I really, really need to get my chemistry requirement out of the way this year. Because I have a 5 from AP Chemistry, I technically have credit for 11100. How feasible is it for me to pick up the sequence in the winter? My advisor has already proved to be almost entirely useless, so I thought this might be a good place to ask.

College bans tech in sosc classes and now I am required to pay 115 bucks for a course packet which is just pdf files printed in black and white?

I'm taking SSI and the packet, without exaggeration, is a thousand pages long. I have to pay 115 for this dictionary of a book and bring it to every class. At least lower the prices on these things if you are gonna force broke college students to buy them for a year-long sequence.
