Hi. I am starting my first year at the UW’s Foster School. I picked out my classes a while back and didn't have anything scheduled for Friday. I heard that, as a business student, you won’t have classes on “Foster Fridays” because you will be doing other school-related activities and events. I was wondering what a typical Friday schedule looks like so I know what to expect. If anyone has any idea or can share their experience, I would love to hear it! Thank you :)

I recently have interest in nursing even though I know it’s super competitive, but I’m not too set on nursing so I don’t know if I should take chem 120 or chem 142? I feel like right now though, the career path I’m most interested in is nursing because of a medical program I saw, but I’m maybe 40% sure about it. I don’t really have another career in mind, but I want to go into something healthcare related. I feel like I might need to explore more?

I got a 3 on the ap chem test so I think I already have credit for chem 142. I currently am registered in chem 142 (I’m pretty sure I won’t get more credit for it, but I just want to take it because I’m not confident in my chem skills) I am prescience and intended to major in something science, but now I’m rethinking to pursue nursing, and taking chem 120 would be better if I did that.

If anyone has gone through something similar or has advice, please let me know! Thanks!

I'm taking SOC 275 (murder) with Ann Frost for fall quarter and I was wanting to know if anyone else has taken the class with her and can tell me how it was? I have a required major class right before it in the HSEB so I was if the sprint I'll have to make is worth it since the murder class is in Smith or if I should cut my losses and enroll in a different elective 🏃‍♀️

For anyone that has taken BIOL 413, is lecture attendance required?

Hello,

I was looking at my housing portal and I noticed that I haven’t been assigned a move in appointment yet to move into my dorm hall, I’m a transfer student so I was assuming they’d have one for me before in person orientation(22nd), have any other transfer students already received their move in appointment?

Thank You!

Hello. I am taking chem 142 next quarter. Is having short acrylic nails in chem 142 labs allowed?

If you’re living in a double with a community bathroom, do you need to bring your own toilet paper to use or will custodial staff provide that?

I'm an Allen School graduate but definitely not the one society was expecting.

All throughout my undergrad I dealt with pretty severe executive dysfunction and other mental health issues that I did my best to mask and power through. The issues I dealt with were refractory to medication, therapy, counselling, and other forms of treatment. Managing them atop the heavy courseload and lack of proper planning was uniquely brutal.

Even seeking out DRS accommodations was a massive bureaucratic hurdle and I opted to just white knuckle it and try to keep up with everyone else.

Why did I keep at it? I was stubborn and didn't want to do anything else. I was hoping that something would engross me and give me a sense of passion and direction. But to no avail, instead I got burnout and that's why I've not had an internship or much industry experience. Even still, I really liked FPGAs and embedded systems.

I did manage to graduate with a >3.0 GPA but required every spare kJ of energy and second of time I had. I've forgotten a lot of my CSE education and hope it comes back to me.

Where do I think it came from? I was pretty severely abused growing up for being autistic. A part of me feels like I never properly developed because of it.

A year and a half out from graduation and really trying to push through things, apply for jobs, work on projects, improve my health, coordinate with my doctors, manage the burnout, and overall just find answers, and I finally have a term for what I'm experiencing: anhedonia. That would explain everything.

It's a classic symptom of depression. It certainly didn't feel like it, but qualifies as such. Much like how the diagnostic criteria for autism have expanded.

I have proper treatments for such lined up now. I've taken up martial arts as an adjunct. I really hope they work and I get my brain back after all these years and find a sense of passion, belonging, and place in the world. I'm about to turn 25 and want to undergo the biggest redemption arc possible with regards to my career, cognitive abilities, and direction in life. I see everyone else being able to accomplish pretty complex feats of engineering and have a high quality of life, and think that if it's possible for them, it's possible for me too.

Why am I posting this here? I just wish to share my story, hear what y'all have to think, and get it off my chest.

And please, spare me the platitudes of "everyone is on their own path" and "comparison is the thief of joy" because what I've had to endure really is no way to live.

What questions do they ask

I was recently accepted to a grad program at UW after doing my undergrad elsewhere. My fiance, who I met in Washington and is a UW undergrad graduate (2020), made me this meme to celebrate.

I said I didn't understand the "be boundless" bit and she just said "fail forward".

What kinds of jackets do you guys be seeing around campus?

I've never been but I'm going to guess the Northface Nupste?

Can anyone say anything about Trailside apartment E8? I hear some are good and some not so good.

if you love myplan on your phone, you can skip this post.

i'm building an ios app for searching uw courses & planning your schedules.

what it currently has:

• search courses
• add courses & sessions to your quarter schedule
• view & copy sln session codes
• open session building in google map
• a visual weekly schedule
• see what classes are coming next

what it could be in the near future:

• live enrollment data & push notification
• share your schedule with friends
• course prereq/professor rating integration

what this is not:

• myplan/registar.uw.edu replacement

do you think this is useful at all? personally, i'm a big ui/ux guy so i just wish there was a smooth/native app that allows me to search / manage my class schedules, even if it doesn't actually do the registration.

p.s. i should have a beta testflight version in a week or two. let me know if anyone's interested.

There were several QR codes just like this one on campus, with the code and a number. I think I saw 4 just between the communications building and red square, didn’t think to take a picture til this last one. Why are they there?

EDIT: some were just on the ground next to nothing, one was on a curb.

Has anyone heard back about this position for the autumn term? Any previous knowledge with the timeline would be helpful too!!

The link going north near Roosevelt is broken, heads up to people needing to go north. They’re setting up the busses for transfers

Would love updated insight/advice for soc 230 with Patricia Louie!

I’m an incoming freshman and I got an email a while ago and I think the link to the server expired. Can anyone resend it or do I have to email the new student office?

Hello, I am an international student and I am trying to move into this place but I can't find reviews or comments online. Can anyone tell me if this is a suggested place for off campus housing? They also have a long application requiring personal information like driver's license number, SSN, needed my address history, not sure if that's the typical process for getting into off campus housing.

I bought a TI-84 Plus CE calculator since it was the one I used in HS and figured I'd need it for more advanced math. But, after some research into the classes I'm wondering if I should return it and get some cheaper scientific calculator.

EDIT: For reference, I'm a freshman planning to major in Biochemistry taking Chem 142 and Math 124 first quarter.

Are there dining halls or food courts that have hot water dispensers available for anyone to use for free?

I like making tea every morning but don't plan on getting a kettle yet so I was wondering if anywhere has hot water for free kinda like hotel coffee in the lobby.

I’m a new transfer student coming in as a junior. My previous university did football tickets a lot differently where you were able to claim ur tickets in student section per game.
Unfortunately I’m a commuter and I’m working on weekends so I can’t decide if buying an entire season pass is worth it? I love the hype around football games and I really would love to attend any that I can (primarily any on fridays) but I feel like $230 is just not worth it for a couple games. Am I missing out if I don’t get the season pass?

I’m in a triple in McCarty, am I able to have more then 1 mini fridge and will the ra’s care too much?
