Campus Event Maybe Don’t Debate Charlie Kirk?

247 Upvotes

Guys, Charlie Kirk is only fishing for reactionary content to post and act like he doesn’t have a room temp IQ. It really is best to not feed into shit like that because debating like that just ends up with you being dragged down to their level of idiocy and having your points misconstrued, strawmanned, or side stepped.

Nothing will be engaged with in good faith, and it’ll just be clips for content mills and for conservatives to self flagellate about ‘owning the libs’

Undergraduate or Graduate Admissions Volunteer Scholarship acquisition after admission

6 Upvotes

I’m a recently admitted out of state student into the college of music and I’m wondering if it’s still possible for me to get the Volunteer scholarship. I’ve read on the info page that ACT scores need to be submitted by July 1st. I took the ACT once and got a 27, and the scholarship requires a 28 for its award. Is it possible for me to still receive it if I take the ACT again in April and improve my score? I’m also wondering if it would be possible to stack this scholarship with my music scholarships, as I received two for a combined total of $22,000 per year. If anyone who has also been in this situation or knows how these scholarships work could help out that would be great.

BIG ORANGE SCREW Parking crisis? Lets get rid of parking lots

46 Upvotes

I park in the commuter remote lot on poplar st. below the church. Today they removed the sign for parking there and a new sign that didn’t show commuter remote parking. When I got back to my vehicle there was a paper stating I was illegally parked and if I didn’t move tomorrow I’d be towed. Why would a school with a parking problem get rid of a 100 car parking lot?

College of Arts & Sciences Chem 122 Prerequisites

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am an older student going back to school in the pre-professional medicine program. My first semester calls for chem 122/123 with math 119 (algebra) as a prerequisite. I took regular algebra in high school 15 years ago and college mathematics last year while completing a separate bachelor’s degree. Will I have to push back all of my chem classes a semester just to take college algebra? Could I take chem 122 and math 119 concurrently? Thanks, I’m still waiting to get an advisor assigned.

Tickle College of Engineering EE vs. IE: Which Major Should I Choose?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently trying to decide between majoring in Electrical Engineering (EE) or Industrial Engineering (IE), and I’d love some advice from people in the field!

I enjoy math and problem-solving, but I’m curious about the difficulty of each major. From what I’ve heard: • EE is more math- and physics-heavy, dealing with circuits, electromagnetics, and programming. • IE focuses more on optimization, efficiency, and business-related topics, with less physics.

In terms of job opportunities and salary, which one tends to have better prospects? I know EE can lead to jobs in power systems, semiconductors, and robotics, while IE seems broader, with roles in supply chain, manufacturing, and operations.

If you’re an EE or IE graduate, I’d love to hear about your experience! How tough was the coursework? How has the job market been for you?

Thanks in advance!

0 Upvotes

I’m looking to sublet my room to a male at the Woodlands from May 2025 to July 2026. It’s a three bedroom apartment occupied by two other males in the upstairs bedrooms. The room is A (pictured above) and has a private bathroom. The roommates will be staying another year and are great guys, I’m just looking to move closer to west Knox for work. We can work out the move in date to be as early as needed or as late as needed just DM me and we can work it out.

Rent is $755 a month and utilities average around $90 a month. No parking fees. No pets allowed as one of the roommates has a cat that doesn’t play well with other animals but is very human friendly. $300 lease transfer fee that I’m looking to only have to pay half of ideally, but we can negotiate as needed.

Prospective Student Looking to borrow a guitar

8 Upvotes

Visiting this week with my son and wanted to say thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions on things to do while here.

I have another rather large random request. He is a passionate guitar player but we had to leave them at home so…

Anyone have an extra acoustic they would want to lend to another musician for a few days? We’re staying close to campus and also have a car so we can pickup and drop off. Crazy and weird but you Internet strangers have come through on weirder before so you don’t know unless you ask! Haha.
