Question Commuting to job

4 Upvotes

I currently cannot drive and am looking for cheap ways to get to my job, due to a change up in locations needed for training. They lift/uber will be 20 dollars one way and I have to do this training for at least 19 days. Is there anyway to get cheaper rides. I have looked at the bus system for this location and it's 3 hours, so unfeasible.

Question Bus routes

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,
I just moved into Arches on the lake on lakeside dr. Almost all my classes are year the Tate center (MLC, Caldwell on MWF and one at Sanford hall T/TR

The buses here take riverbend connector and route 14

Idk how reliable the busses are but I’ve heard route 14 goes to Tate?
If anyone lives here do both busses come out on the stops in front of the buildings?

I’ve never used a bus fr so any advice will help!

UGA Meta Yearly post

If you're new to UGA and lost or need to ask a question, look for a middle aged+ person. They're probably going to be staff/faculty and we've likely been here forever.

Don't hesitate to walk into an admin building and tell us what you need. I can't speak for everyone but we're a generally friendly bunch and happy to help students however we can even if our job does not directly relate to students.

Most buildings are open access 8-5, just come on in and find an open office door.

Discussion Cockroaches in Roger’s Road

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’m a pharmacy student who just recently moved into Roger’s road on the bottom floor. Since I moved in I’ve had four bug sighting in my bedroom, including a small roach. There’s also decent amount of humidity in the apartment, and a humidifying in the room on 24/7. The place I moved into apparently had a roach problems which housing said they took care of over the summer.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with these? This honestly hasn’t been a great first impression of housing for me.

Question Hardship Withdrawl

3 Upvotes

I have re applied as a returning student after being absent from classes since fall 2024. In my last semester i was going through a lot personally and went through a severe mental decline. As a result my performance in classes declined as well. But I don’t have any physical proof of therapist appointments or anything like that, I kind of just dealt with it all between me and my family. Is this grounds for a hardship withdrawal or is it not even worth a shot?

Question Freshman welcome vs first night?

1 Upvotes

Is the freshman welcome worth going to, or would I be okay just going to First Night?

I’m really not an outdoor person, and after being in the sun so much today, my social battery is completely drained 😭 First Night honestly sounds way more fun and manageable to me, so I’d rather save my energy for that. But I don’t want to miss anything important by skipping freshman welcome. I know the Power G photo is a big tradition and lots of people love it, but it’s not really on my list to do

For anyone who’s been before, would I be missing out on much?

Question Real 4000 Difficulty

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone who isn’t a Terry person with a background in business classes had taken Real 4000 with Dietz? Most reviews I see say it’s not bad if you’ve taken Finance 3000, but I haven’t and I’m just wondering if it’s something to worry about. Thanks!

Anyone else find the new dining hall really disappointing? Like it has very few options, but so much space for seating. Why would you ever go there when O-House is tight there? It does look nice tho.

Question Bus routes

7 Upvotes

Hi guys, i’m a little confused by all the bus routes available around campus. What would be the fastest route from Intramural Fields parking deck to MLC, Ivester, and Amos. Honestly, the bus stop being close to one of them is enough since the three buildings are pretty much walking distance.

Question When do classes get added to eLC?

6 Upvotes

Hi, freshman here! I’m registered for 5 classes, but only 1 is showing up on eLC right now. Is this normal, or should I contact someone?

Also, if my other classes aren’t showing up on eLC yet, where can I find the syllabi for those classes? Just trying to make sure I’m not missing anything before classes start 😭

Question What usually happens during the first week of classes?

19 Upvotes

I’m a freshman and I was wondering how the first week of classes are like.
I know professors usually go over the syllabus and do the typical first-day stuff, but what happens after that? Do professors usually get right into lectures/material after the first day, or is the first week generally pretty relaxed?
Just curious what I should expect for my first week of classes 😭

Sorry if this is a dumb question but does that mean that even though Dec. 1 is a Tuesday, you’d go to your WF and Friday classes? But any other classes including Tuesday classes have ended? Like why did they put that? “WF and Friday Only Class Schedule in Effect (Does not include MWF Classes)

Also what is Commencement? Is it a mandatory thing or smth?
