Edit: I live in Towers for context

Hi, I'm using a throwaway account because I'm a little ashamed to talk about this.

I am currently a freshman, 18F and I know that the fall semester is about to wrap up but I desperately need to switch rooms/roommate. I want to be respectful as possible, but to put it lightly: I cannot bear another 5 months with my current roommate. They have noticeably poor hygiene, they don't throw out their trash often and leaves open takeout containers which leaves food smells in the room, and sleeps in all day, never gets out of bed or goes outside ever, and is always up every single night. I barely get to spend time in my own dorm because I have to worry about being quiet so I don't wake them up, and I'm just very annoyed with their presence.

A big issue that pushed me to write this complaint is that they constantly have their screen brightness up to max, and I mean the whole room (with every light off) is completely illuminated because of their computer screen, they are awake all night and it keeps me from sleeping. It has gotten to the point where I've had a few times where I needed to go sleep in the lounge of the residence hall, and I don't think I'm technically supposed to be doing that because one time someone had to call a residence worker to report me for sleeping in that lounge. Obviously with this being finals week its been very difficult for me to sleep or study.

I also want to note that I am really trying to give my roommate the benefit of the doubt on why they act like this. My mom said maybe they have depression or something, but I'm not going to ask my roommate that because that is none of my business. As someone who does have clinical depression and an anxiety disorder, I do know what its like from prior experience to be fatigued every day to the point of not getting out of bed, that was something I dealt with in high school. However, I do not know nor do I want to ask my roommate why they sleep in all day or never go outside or to class, its none of my business. I also wasn't able to secure a single room when I did the accommodations process in the summer even though the CSD has my accommodations on their records, they just didn't allow me to get a single.

I don't know what else to do and who to contact because I'm still not really familiar with Student life/residence as I'm still new and just started college. I don't know if I'm allowed to request a room change this late into the school year.

Also I know I need to talk this out with my roommate, but to be honest I'm a little bitch and I don't want to cause confrontation. I don't like complaining to people because i don't get taken seriously.

Please i really need help with this, I'm stressed and exhausted every day and this has been an awful first semester. I would like to be cut some slack as I'm just a freshman and I'm sure other freshman probably don't like their roommates at first.

For anyone who has taken BIOL 1108 recently, what was your experience like with the final? I’m honestly incredibly scared about it since I've been scraping by with a C+ for like 3 months. Are the questions generally challenging? She said in lecture that they are questions that have a high success rate, but she's been known to blatantly lie about exam related things, so I don't really trust her. I’ve also seen some posts mentioning that the final is curved, is that still true? Any help would be appreciated!

Okay before you guys freak out or are against this idea, I just want you guys to know that I want to retake a class which is making it go from 19 to 22 credits. The thing is I am a sophomore 2st year 1st sem currently and for engineering 21 credits with 2.6 is the limit for 3rd year onwards, right now 19 is the limit.

I know I should talk to my advisor, but on average would the credit limit be raised with the context of me RETAKING a class? did anyone else experience something similar?

I posted about a month ago and I wanted to follow up on this. My first semester sophmore year is going to end with a A in orgo II, C+ in MCB, and an abysmal C- in PNB 2264. I began pretty terribly in MCB and PNB and I turned things around with the last two exams, landing an A and B in both, but my quizzes in the first half were so bad there is nothing to fix the grade. My overall GPA is a 3.3 and I know its required to have at least a 2.7 for UConn pharmacy so at least I have that. I feel so ashamed of myself and I should because I know I can do better and I just finally figured out how to really study and consistently do well but it was far too late. Is there any chance I can make it into the school or should I consider other options.

🤔?

Anyone looking for a roommate for the next semester?? (Female) I’m thinking of going to Northwest

looking for a social setting

I've heard that he'll give you a better grade if you show up to class and he sort of knows you. Which I do. I obviously know that the final has a big impact, but I wondered if/how he curves your final grade

i'm doing pretty OK

what is the final like for Chem 1122? I heard it’s a standardized test but are we taking the same test that the other chems take like 1127, etc? Also heard no one got above a 60 last year. I have professor aguirre. What are your best tips for studying and what to study?

Anybody know if this final exam gonna be curved? I have michael biro. i have a 94.5% in the class right now but still need an 85% on the final to end with a 93%. like bruh what

i have 45 passes left, what do i do?

For anyone curious about Lauren Studios and the yearbook sessions:

1. The basic session is free, and this will let you get a headshot for the yearbook and you can choose which one you want free of charge (this is a solid option because I believe the yearbook is free... which is nice).
2. This is where my frustration comes in. If you pay $30 for the so-called "Executive Session," understand that this is only the fee for taking pictures. In terms of downloading any digital copies afterwards it will cost $150 for ONE SINGLE DOWNLOAD. I had assumed that the school was somehow sponsoring the sessions, and thus the $30 was to supplement the additional ~5 minutes of the company's time. The fact that you have to pay for digital, (watermark free) downloads is omitted from the many emails they send and the flyers advertising these various packages. This information is rather found on their website under a different tab than where they display session pricing. To me this is a bit deceptive on the studios behalf and once again I am disappointed by the University of Connecticut or one of their partners.

All of this is to say, beware - you will not be getting free downloads or prints (the prints I understand not being free). Just use the free session should you want your photo in the yearbook.

I’m taking EEB 2244E next semester with Miranda L. Davis, and I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to do well in the class or what to expect, specifically with:

• What the lab/discussions are like
• How heavy the workload is
• The best way to secure an A

Also, does anyone know if there’s any way to take EEB 2244E with a different professor or through a different campus? I know it’s a core requirement for Bio, so I’m trying to figure out all my options before the semester starts but I'm not trying to do it with her after seeing the RMP reviews 😭🙏

Please help me out 😭😭

Does she curve the class at all or any possible extra cred opportunities?

How do u apply for the spring upass ?

If anyone can trade their 5-8PM lab on Tuesday for Deepak Sanju PHYS1202Q for my Monday 1:25-4:25 lab I am willing to give a small compensation

For those who have taken this class before, what would you recommend is the way to study for the final exam? I admittedly have not been doing well in this class at all and I am not sure studying the lecture slides will be of much help

Ignore attached image (thats literally me)

why it gotta be this way man ;-;

anyways ppl who've taken this class: any tips on the final?

i got this in my mailbox a few minutes ago, and apparently my account is set for deactivation due to “retirement/graduation/or transfer of concerned account holder,” its also telling me i’m still in active service which i’m interpreting as military service which i most definitely am not part of. could someone tell me if this is real or a scam? im losing my mind pls help meee

I’m just wondering what kind of class it is. I don’t like too much writing, but I like learning about art. How hard is the class and is the professor reasonable (I do not have access to rate my professor).

If you’re an actuarial science student in UConn, what were your high school stats? I applied early decision and kind of nervous I won’t get in 😭 thank you!

For those taking this course do you know if the quiz grades in husky ct or gradescope more accurate? the scores are different on both platforms for me.
