(not an athlete student fyi) anyone know what hours the gyms at the new brunswick campus are the busiest, and which gyms are the least busy? all of my classes end by 1:30pm every day, so i was planning on going to lift at like 2:30ish. i live on busch, but most my classes r on livi so i don’t really mind taking a bus down to whatever gym is the least busy at whatever time.
i started my starter five days ago and have been feeding consistently every 24ish hours. by day 3, it started looking alive. it had a slightly sour, slightly sweet smell and had a lot of bubbles. it even rose a little bit, but it didn’t double so i was thinking this was probably a false rise.
on day 4, it didn’t rise at all and the smell was gone. it now just smells like flour. i fed it like normal. but now, its day 5 and its the exact same. it hasn’t risen, doesn’t have any bubbles, and doesn’t have any smell either. is it possible my starter somehow died and it’s stopped fermenting or something?
i do wanna point out that on day 3, i fed it twice. once in the morning and again around twelve hours later. i heard that its possible i may be overfeeding, so im gonna try “starving” it today and will update back tomorrow.
i already know what im gonna say is gonna make me sound stupid but hear me out. i initially applied as biochemistry major at sebs and molecular biology & biochemistry major at sas. i ended up getting into both and ultimately committed to molecular biology & biochemistry at sas. at this point, i have attended my orientation (which was sas-specific), registered for all of my classes for the fall 2026 semester, and done all the required tasks (although im not sure how many of these are sas-specific).
where my stupidity shows is that i didnt really research either of these programs; specifically, how they differ. i have since found out that the biochemistry program at sebs is an accredited B.S. program while the MBB program at sas is a non-accredited B.A. program. plus, the MBB program at sas is crazily credit-intensive, and the biochemistry program at sebs just seems easier to finish within four years or less (preferably less). so to me, it seems that the biochemistry program at sebs makes much more sense for me to take.
so the question: would it be possible for me to transfer from the MBB program at sas to the biohchemistry program at sebs? all of the classes i am registered for right now fulfill either my core requirements (either sas or sebs) or my major requirements (either mbb or biochemistry). so, its not like i would need to re-register for classes. the only thing really holding me back is the fact that i attended the sas orientation.
tl;dr: im an incoming freshman currently committed to the mbb program at sas and am wondering if i could transfer to the biochemistry program at sebs before the fall sem starts. i was accepted to both programs, and my registered classes fulfill requirements for either program, BUT i already attended the orientation for sas. is this possible?
