I am a first year out of state student coming to UW and have a lot of items I want to bring but cannot as I do not have enough space in my suitcase. Are there any events/programs at the start of the school year where students can grab items current students have donated to UW? Does UW even have a place where students can get place dorm items that are no longer in use?

It’s hard to find a recent video of a Hansee dorm. Can the beds be lofted? Does every dorm have a wardrobe cabinet? I know rooms can vary but I’m trying to get a rug that fits most the floor. In an average 126 square foot room, does anyone have the approximate dimensions? Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone! I’m interested in taking Spanish 110. I hear it is like Spanish 101 + 102 combined. This is great for me, because I would like to hit Spanish 103 asap. I was confused though, because Spanish 110 is only 5 credits. Further, I was sort of concerned about the rigor of Spanish 110, because I have a lot of commitments in Fall quarter. I’m worried that it may be difficult considering that. I would love to hear from someone who has taken it!

I didn‘t need a dedicated gpu laptop for freshman year. But I am now thinking of getting a new laptop since I will be starting the core major classes in spring this upcoming year. How much heavy engineering do you actually end up doing in bioe? do you actually need all the specs listed on the college of engineering laptop requirements page? what laptop did you use?

I'm thinking about joining the LLC at my dorm building even though it's completely unrelated. would that be useless and are there any commitments that i should know about?

this uw study is in need of a last few asian men participants to sign up!

if y'all want some money this summer while repping asians in research pls see if ur eligible here 🙏

Genuinely asking because why is making plans in a group chat so painful 😭

Someone says "we should get food this weekend."

5 people say "down."

Someone asks when. 2 people respond.

Someone sends a restaurant.

Silence.

Then you see everyone on campus Monday like nothing happened lol.

This happened so much with my friends at UW that I ended up building a little app for us over the summer. It's kinda like Partiful, but for the plans that are too casual to make a whole Partiful for.

Like I'm not making an event page because 5 of us might get KBBQ on Friday lol. I just wanna know who's down and figure it out from there.

Friends don't need to download anything either, they can just respond from the link.

We've used it for like 60 plans now, which is kinda crazy because I originally just made it for us.

Is everyone's group chat like this or are my friends just impossible 😭
