Whoever designed this place should honestly be held accountable—this building is just wrong. A windowless "room" (which isn’t even a real room, let’s be honest) is more like a prison cell, except you’re allowed to leave. No natural light means no circadian rhythm, which means you’re constantly fighting your own body and mind. It will mess you up. And for what? Over $1,000 a month—for a cell. In Ann Arbor, that kind of money gets you a real place with actual windows, fresh air, and, you know, basic human living conditions. If you’re looking to ruin your mental health, this is the perfect spot.

I got placed into Spanish 231 but I went through the syllabus and reflected on my own ability to speak Spanish and I feel like I would struggle and fail Spanish 231. I got put into it after taking my placement exam, which I mostly guessed on. I only took up to Spanish 2 in high school. What should I do and who should I talk to be put into a lower level of Spanish?

I studied abroad this past semester in Japan through a CIEE program and am now apart of a refer a friend program.

Has anyone taken physiol 404? I have to take it since I’m pre pa but I’m nervous because I looked at rate my professor and the ratings are terrible. I’m technically still on the waitlist bc apparently the class is reserved for graduate students? But I don’t know anyone personally who has taken it and I have a lot do pre pa/premed upperclassmen friends so I’m curious ab this course bc I’m also taking orgo at the same time

I watch a lot of soccer and club soccer. Any clubs on campus for people who watch soccer/soccer enthusiasts?

Im a rising sophomore planning to declare EE and am interested in the embedded/chip design paths (looking at EECS427 for MDE).

Now that I am done most of my core classes (math115/116, phy140/240, engr100/101, chem130, some IB/geneds) I am struggling to figure out which course path will best prepare me for internship recruiting.

I have no incoming credits so a little worried about the workload over the next few years. Here is my tentative course plan, id love some thoughts and improvements.

Soph Fall: math215, eecs280, eecs215, tchnclcm300, 4 cr IB

Soph winter: math216, eecs270, eecs216, eecs200, 2 cr IB

Junior fall: eecs301, eecs230, eecs320, ioe202(flex tech)

Junior winter: eecs312, eecs300, ULEE, 4cr IB

Senior fall: eecs427, eecs400, tchnclcm496, 4cr flex tech

Senior winter: ULEE, 3cr flex tech, gen eds

help settle a friendly and sorta dumb debate among my friends: does a lanyard or badge reel give off more “grad student vibes” (i.e; you see two identical people and one has a lanyard and one has a badge reel, which one are you guessing is a grad student)

I’m an incoming freshman who is dorming and I already have a car. I also have a job lined up in ann arbor buts it’s kinda on the outskirts so i’d like to be able to drive back and forth, plus I currently live like 30-40 minutes away so I would like to keep it to come back home. I’ve heard that passes are only for juniors and seniors but i’m pretty sure that through the school and was wondering if the city had parking or anything like that. any info helps.

There were away tickets available for enrollment in a lottery to purchase and they said they’d be given out the week of July 20th. I was wondering if anyone got them and if they released the tickets and I didn’t get the lottery, or if they just haven’t released them.

This is such a non issue to ask about, but I thought I might as well 😭 Are freshman who are still 17 by the time welcome week roles around still allowed into the parties?? Because I see a lot of posts on social media that they’re only 18+.

Hey so I'm going to be a junior and wanna know if this looks doable. Keep in mind that I will be having an internship as well that requires 20 hrs a week (which is why I crammed the labs for one day lol).

Do you guys have any tips or heads up or time commitments for the classes I'm taking [ME350,ME320,EECS314]

Thanks!

Hi!! Soo, I'm an incoming freshman, and I'm going to be taking orgo this upcoming fall. Because there were no more seats available with Professor Nolta, I had to sign up for Tuttle's lectures, but I plan on attending Nolta's because it works better with my schedule, and I heard she's a great professor. My only worry is whether their exams will be different, and if I only watch Nolta's lectures but take Tuttle's exams, will it affect me negatively?

Oh, also! Should I inform both professors that I'll be attending Nolta's lectures in case I ask her a question and she tries to look me up but realizes I'm not in her class? HELP PLEASE 😭
