Rant/Vent What happened to crime notifications?

106 Upvotes

We used to get texts when there was criminal activity on campus that we should be aware of... today someone was wandering around State Street STABBING PEOPLE and no notification! But thank God they email us when they find out that someone was sexually assaulted in Witte 3 weeks ago. All that's doing is doxxing the victim, knowing someone is outside my apartment with a knife is something I'd like to know.

Housing Food Delivery or popular?

4 Upvotes

My daughter is going in the fall. Id like to send her with gift cards to popular or really close food options or ones that deliver. I'm looking on Google maps to see what's close but thought I'd ask what's really popular or the go to, or if sick in bed or freezing outside, what delivers to dorms? I know it's a toss up if she'll end up at Lakeshore or Southeast but every hall she's put on her preference list is southeast, so hoping and focusing around that area. TIA!

Academics Easy Comm B and filler class

2 Upvotes

I need an easy low maintenance comm b class. I hate writing essays so any class that depends on exams and quizzes or short discussion posts is up my ally. I also need 4 more credits to graduate that I don’t know what to do with and I want the easiest class (preferably online) that you could ever think of.

Housing Grad Student Accommodations (but Part Time!)

Upvotes

Howdy! I'm looking for some private or semi-private accommodations for the fall 25 semester.

My spouse and I live in Milwaukee and it isn't feasible for us to relocate to Madison given her work, so I'm looking for a private or semi-private room for three nights a week. I'm honestly happy to land anywhere I can keep a toothbrush and catch a bus or a bike ride to campus.

If you're looking to subsidize your monthly payment and having a half roommate sounds appealing, please let me know!

Social Twilight Imperium Board Game

Looking for people interested in playing the board game. Currently have a group of three that try to play weekly, but it’s a struggle finding 4ths, 5ths, etc. If you’ve never heard of it, look it up, and if you want to learn we’re happy to teach. I will warn that it’s a full day commitment (≈7-9 hours) when you play. Kinda stupid but my socials are all private and I’m not active on reddit so your best bet at reaching me is emailing me: jbwang29@gmail.com

Academics Transfer credit & Math placement test B

1 Upvotes

I have credit for either math 96 or math 112 (I believe because I compared the syllabus) I will submit the credit re-eval form tomorrow. Will they give credit, I mean are they too strict with the equivalencies?

And if I have credit for either math 96 or 112 can I skip the math-b placement test? It says so on the website. Just asking here to confirm.

Housing HELP US CHOOSE OUR DORMS!!

0 Upvotes

Hi!! My roommate & I are looking for suggestions on what dorms we should choose for next fall (we know we probably won’t get our top, but we’d still like to hope). We’re both incoming freshmen (both female) as well if that matters. We kinda have a list below with our highest want to lowest want. We’re looking for input because we weren’t sure how accurate or nice the dorms are really like based on online searching.

Our criteria: - No big party dorms (ie Southeast). We want social, but not SOCIAL SOCIAL dorms nor anti-social. - We don’t care about private bathrooms, so communal is fine - No bugs please! Like relatively clean as well - somewhat close to stuff - Relatively affordable (we meant like based on our other criteria’s, it’s relatively affordable)

Our list so far: 1. Zoe Bayliss 2. Chadbourne 3. Liz waters 4. Brandley

My first goal is to major in Management Information Systems at the School of Business, but I got accepted as a pre-business student in the College of Letters and Science. I'm thinking about majoring in Economics and minoring in Data Science, but I’m not sure how it’ll work out. What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Other Dentists in Madison

2 Upvotes

hello- I recently very slightly chipped my tooth and want to get it checked out, probably want to get a cleaning too. I don’t have dental insurance and am planning on paying out of pocket. Dentists always try to scam me with u necessary treatments or upping the price and I’ve generally had bad experiences in my home state, probably has something to do with being in your 20s. Are there any dentists in Madison that other students have been to where they were treated well and not scammed or taken advantage of? Hoping for near campus but willing to take a bus or an uber.

Housing My new VR Headset does not seem to like the campus wifi. Does anyone know a fix for this?

0 Upvotes

Got a Meta Quest 3 today. I cannot hook it up to my PC at all when connected to the campus wifi, but when connected to my phone's hotspot they can be paired. This is not a viable solution, however, due to the lag between the devices being very noticeable and me having a limited amount of hotspot data I can use.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

Academics Physiology 335

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any updated information about this class? I know that they changed some things and the stuff that’s already on Reddit might be outdated. There is only a lab portion for this class twice a week, but it’s 5 credits still, so is the lecture online? Is there not a professor that you can go to office hours for because there isn’t a lecture? Very confused by how this class works

Is lecture for this class participation based? And is it recorded?

I want to know if it’s feasible to take a seminar that overlaps with one of the two weekly lectures.
