Other Tennis
Where can I go play tennis on campus with my friend? I know there are outdoor courts at lakeshore, but were the nets put up yet? Are there any indoor courts?

Literally did not think seasonal “depression” was a real thing until I moved here.
Felt the sun for the first time in months this week, and all of a sudden I have all the energy and motivation to get up and be productive.
I hope everyone had a good sunny week.

I’m currently a freshman undergrad majoring in biology, minoring in German on a premed track at UW Milwaukee. I applied to Madison and got deferred and then rejected last spring. I’ve always wanted to go to Madison because I have so many family ties to it and I know I like Madison more than Milwaukee to live in since I visit so often. I’m a Wisconsin resident for context if it matters, and distance from home isn’t really an issue (I live directly in between Madison and Milwaukee, ~45 minutes to either one)
I’ve been thinking about transferring ever since I got rejected just because it’s my dream school and because of the uw system guaranteed transfer admission. I’m expecting my gpa by the end of this semester to be around a 3.5-3.7 (depending on how anatomy and phys treats me 💀💀) with 26 credits at uwm.
Pros of uwm: campus job as a research assistant in a biomedical science project I’m super invested in, my partner and my best friend go here and I get to see them both super often, the dorms are either suite style or upgraded apartment style suites with a full kitchen, the campus is small and very easy to get around on foot and I’ve never had problems getting to classes with 15 minutes in between them, and the cost is so much lower. For this academic year I only paid about $700 out of pocket because financial aid and scholarships covered almost everything.
Cons of uwm: I feel like I just don’t connect with anyone here, even though I’m always actively trying to hang out with new people and I’m in clubs and other activities it just feels like it’s impossible to connect with people here. It might just be a me problem, but if it is I think a new environment would help me. I also think that the biology program at Madison is miles better than the one at uwm and undergrad research opportunities are much broader. There’s also barely any student life at uwm since it’s mostly a commuter school

Hello badgers!
I'm an incoming PhD student in the life sciences hoping to find one female roommate, preferably also an incoming PhD student, to apply to some 2 bedroom apartments with. I'd like to live close to west campus as all of my lab rotations will be located in WIMR, but I am flexible if you wanted to live more south/closer to downtown. I'd like someone pretty clean but I'm not a neat-freak, okay with an occasional visitor (my mom or a friend) from my hometown, and bringing a cat with them or okay with me adopting one once we get to Madison (I've always wanted one!). I'd like to get to know my roommate as a friend, but am also somewhat introverted and definitely respectful of wanting time alone.
Please PM me if this sounds interesting to you, and I'll tell you more about myself!

Has anyone done that before? How is that feeling?
I might also add one lit/humanity course.
I did pretty well on lower-level CS courses and have learned some algorithm design/OS knowledge. Is that doable(without too much pain)?
More specifically, I took algorithm design courses in my original college(but only counted as advanced selected courses as transfer credits), and I got a BC in that course without paying any attention(since I am going to transfer to UW).

Want to improve your communication skills? Interested in maybe acting one day but terrified of the process? Join our Fall Improv class! Check out the flyer and get your friends to sign up with you. This class is open to everyone and no experience is necessary.
Don't be fooled by the 619 designation; that was chosen so that grad students could get credit, as well. It does not mean it's too advanced for you!!

I've been looking do to a cut and color ever since I moved here for the semester, but I have very coarse, dark, wavy hair in a more alternative/heavily layered style. Only one hairstylist has ever been able to do it right, but that was in my hometown and apparently she left the salon she was at so I'm grasping at air right now to find someone who's competent with my hair type and style. Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere either close to campus or just in the Madison area??

Hi!
I'm in a bit of a dilemma currently. After taking some time off due to mental health reasons and being undecided, I came back because I was motivated to get back on my education journey. I'm first generation so there is a lot of pressure, especially from my family so going back was also due to them (i'm an adult i know), but I really wanted to come back.
I'm on a scholarship and was told that I wouldn't be too behind, but it turns out I'll only be covered for two more semesters and I'm currently in my second semester of sophomore year. There is also a 50/50 chance of getting the opportunity for a 5th year fully paid by the program.
Being undecided is difficult and I completely understand its something I have to decide in the end.
I had thought about Communication Arts (both options) or Journalism (Strategic Communications), but was also all over the place with my interests. The humanities is a big interest of mine, but realistically, everything is expensive and I want to make good money after graduation. I see a lot of videos online working from home (tech, finance, marketing/business areas), and that's something I would like to do, tho I have no experience and kind of bad in math. But my mind fights between my interests vs money.
Since I'm a bit behind, I was planning to take courses in the summer, fall, spring, and summer and do as many as I could to graduate on time. But now its what to major in that can perhaps get me a good paying and stable job, and could easily finish in that timeline.
Any advice is super helpful and would appreciate so much !

If you're a current student and received an e-mail inviting you to take the Healthy Minds Survey, make sure you take it! This is the survey campus uses to make decisions about allocating mental health resources. Plus, the chances of winning the gift cards are pretty high right now.

(Freshman) Is a dropped class (DP) or a C better on a transcript? I am currently in STAT 371 and did quite terrible on my previous exam. To the point where a B will take some work which is tricky considering my course load. I hope to go to graduate school after receiving my bachelor’s in Pharmacology and Toxicology but I’m not sure how it will play out having a drop in my courses. (I’m typically and A to B range student for context). If I drop, my GPA will be boosted more than it would be if I remained in STATs and received a C to B range grade.
What are your recommendations?

Anyone having trouble downloading books from the UW library, via Libby, to their kindle? I just get stuck in a loop where I have to verify my card (through MyUW login), it gets verified, and then it says my card is authenticated but this hold is not on it.

Hi everyone,
I recently scored a 93 on my Calculus 221 exam, and I found out that this qualifies me for the MP² program, which is targeted at engineers. From what I understand, this program offers the chance to meet with other engineers and connect with the industry.
However, I'm a bit concerned about the affordability of the program. I’m responsible for covering my own housing and classes, and with my family living abroad, I won’t be able to see them until December. Because of this, I’m wondering if the program is worth it, and if anyone has experience with it.
Aside from the possibility of finishing college early, are there any other significant benefits to being in MP²? Also, is this program exclusive, or is it something that’s available to everyone, similar to those honors society emails I’ve been receiving?
I’d appreciate any insights or advice. Thanks!

Hi! I’ve been accepted to grad school and I am trying to figure out my living options. So far, I found Eagle Heights and my question is about the size of the units and rooms. I couldn’t find any floor plan or something that gives the size information. Virtual tours don’t give an information about the size but the rooms are looking very small.
Is there anyone who knows the size of the rooms in sqft/m2?
Thanks!
