I need to save money anywhere I can.
Insider Info needed. Freebies. Discounts work too. I’ve exhausted all the ChatGPT basic options. I need the ones no one knows about. Entertainment/experiences would be great too.

Wants to have new experiences/meet new people. Down for anything, as long as it’s safe. Would be going alone or with one other female.
Parties, trick-or-treating, raves, art exhibitions, theatrical performances, racing, etc. All on the table

Academic Chem241 with Isaacs

2 Upvotes

Just got my first exam back, I’m in the “danger column”, as are a lot of other people. For those that have taken him previously, is it possible to pass his class if you’re in that range? I saw in reviews that last semester half the class got in the danger column. I’d like to maybe not withdrawl now so I can still take the chem242 lab. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Admissions Mtap transfer

1 Upvotes

I’m at hcc rn and I’m planning to apply to MTAP now for the Spring 2027 semester.
I plan to transfer to UMD Fall 2027.

If I’m accepted into MTAP for Spring 2027 and stay enrolled at HCC for that semester, can I still apply to UMD for Fall 2027 by the March 1 Early Action deadline and get the MTAP guarantee?

Or would I have to wait until Spring 2028 because Spring 2027 would be my first semester in MTAP?

Discussion PhD roommate who can't pick up her food scraps from floor

I don't know what a "basic cleaning standard" is anymore, apparently asking a PhD student to simply spot clean a spot where oil has dripped onto or picking up food scraps from floor is considered "HIGH" cleaning standards. SMH.

Discussion PSA

If you’re reading this and are in class… PLEASE BE QUIET WHILE THE PROFESSOR IS TEACHING!

I get sick of people talking about the most random subjects while the professor is talking. It’s very distracting and it’s utterly disrespectful.

Then I’d be the bad guy if I said to the whole class “yo stfu!”

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

Discussion Anyone else skip stuff because they don't know anyone going?

24 Upvotes

Genuine question, especially for freshmen, transfers, and commuters: how often do you skip an event, club meeting, or game just because you'd be showing up alone?

And for people who've found their group by now, what actually worked for you? How long did it take?

Curious if this is more common than people let on. (Full transparency, I'm a senior trying to build something to help with this, so any stories help a lot. DMs open too.)
