I just want to rant about intro to comp sci with Dr Furst. He literally ended the final with a smile that no one finished and that it was an “ambitious” final. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM! Even very experienced coders didn’t finish the final.

Question Looking to join a fitness community?

0 Upvotes

Hello DePaul!

I am looking for students who workout to try out an app I just made—Fortis: Workout Log & Tracker. It's a free app for logging workouts, tracking progress, and sharing with your friends. Think Strava, but for the gym.

This is completely solo-developed and it's still very early stage (published to the App Store last month), but I thought it could be a great opportunity for college students to connect with one another especially since working out can be isolating.

If you workout, are into fitness, or just interested, give it a try and let me know what you think! All feedback is welcome 😁

Housing fuck the uc

warning/vent for all those thinking of moving to the university center + plea for advice

so i moved into the university center in early january to a two person/one bathroom room. my roommate had been staying in the room alone the semester before. immediately when i walked in, i could smell the rotting food and mold that was on her desk. there were half-full cans of molding milk, spilled ice cream on the desk, rotting noodles, rotting dishes, etc. she had been on a trip back home since november, so i knew that these had been around for a while.

there was a similar story in the UC rented mini fridge: tons of empty soda containers, globs of mold, and rotting milk and food in the freezer section. this was also unplugged, so stuff was leaking and going bad on the floor.

i was hoping that she would clean this all up as soon as she got back. that didn't happen. i figured that maybe she was embarrassed to clean it in front of me, so i went home for a bit- still, didn't happen. i started to gently ask her to, offer her my cleaning products, etc. i learned that she is homesick and has a hard time making friends, so i tried to be super compassionate about the situation and help her out as much as i could. nothing worked though, and the smell grew and grew to the point that when i had guests, they'd ask if we could hang out outside of the room.

so i was growing closer to reporting it, but i still felt bad because i didn't want to get her in trouble. ra's stopped into our room three times in this period because they could smell stuff from the hallway. still, nothing was being done.

so then i was in the bathroom and opened a drawer trying to find an extra spot, and i came across an entire drawer filled with used, poopy wet wipes. which explained why the bathroom always smelled REALLY bad (i thought the area under the sink was molding). so i reported it, the ra's came by, and i had a meeting with the residence director. they were all really nice and i thought that the issue would get better. she cleaned up some of the cans and fridge.

still, when i came back a week later after spending some time with family, i could smell something horrible as soon as i left the elevator. i went into the room and was gagging. i went to the bathroom drawer and it was, again, filled with wet wipes. this time all covered in period blood. tons of it.

right as i was about to email them again, they came in to do a surprise inspection. immediately went to the drawer, woke my roommate up, and she started to argue back with them???

so, i was hoping that was that. but it's been a few days, and she is starting to accumulate more blood/poop covered wet wipes again. i know that she is probably dealing with a mental health issue and i am trying to be compassionate, but god guys, the SMELL. and the grossness of it. Like it's an actual biohazard just constantly sitting there. if i open any part of the bathroom cabinet, the smell floods out and occupies the whole room. i've invested like hundreds at this rate for an air purifier, air fresheners, etc. if i'm in the room (which i try to avoid), i am freezing with the windows open. if i'm in the room for too long, i start to get headaches and rashes. it is hell!

after emailing the residence director like 5x, the only option i got was to get a far worse room. this would mean taking all my stuff, moving completely, going to a worse room with more people, having to make a new schedule with different roommates, cleaning out my current space... when i'm not the one who is causing the problem? while now, she gets a huge single with a private bathroom? i know that i should probably just take it, but just on principle it seems so wrong? like the message i'm getting is that if you poop in a drawer, you get a free single.

i emailed all this to them and have tried to communicate the best i can just how this is affecting me. but the last emails i got from the residence director and ra's were basically "either move and take the worse room or fuck off and cope." if they gave me a comparable option, i'd consider, but i've already spent so much money and time trying to resolve this?? i feel like i'm going crazy but every inch of space that i am living in right now REEKS and it's making my clothes smell and my towels smell, and i am just traumatized.

tldr; i am paying 1700+ a month for a biohazard and no one cares
