hi guys! i am currently taking out loans for my undergrad, and does anyone else feel guilty for treating themselves with anything? any time i think about buying something for myself, i think how that money would be better if it went towards my student loans. i know this should be a good mindset for paying them off but it also feels like it’s controlling my life, and that my student debt is looming over me any time i try to have fun 😿 im working three jobs to afford schooling and struggle to enjoy myself sometimes due to the stress of the loans. just wanted to rant and feel free to share if you feel the same or have any advice!

hi all! i am a freshman who will be graduating early (class of 2029), and i am working three jobs currently (an advisory board member, and two custodial positions) im doing this to help out on tuition, but i do not have much extra time for volunteering or clubs. how valued are jobs on an application, in comparison to volunteer hours or clubs? and what should i focus on in my free time? i love working with kids and i am in two child care clubs at the moment, but the majority of volunteer dates don’t work for my because i am working at those times. anyone have any advice?

hi guys! i am a freshman doing my BA in CSD rn and am planning ahead for my grad school rn (very type a, haha) i am a little stressed out about tuition due to the fact that im already having to take out loans for my BA. i know that many programs offer TA/RA/PA tuition reimbursement, so i was wondering if anyone here has any experience with those, and if they could give me any advice to strengthen my application for becoming one? i really do love teaching as well (my sisters are both teachers!) and would love to be a TA. is it competitive? is it stressful to be one during grad school? the school i would like to attend is UW madison, if anyone knows anything specific about that school as well ☺️☺️

im gonna be working as a custodian this semester in sellery. i was wondering if those who have worked as a custodian found any real difference in working nights vs days!! i think i will be aiming to work nights monday through friday so i can keep my weekend open and also keep my 9-5 for classes and studying. if anyone has any advice or even just some suggestions on working as a custodian id appreciate it!

hi!! as an incoming badger, i was just wondering what the best times to shower and do laundry on campus/the times it is the most busy!! im personally in smith this year so if anyone has any experience there that they could share that would be awesome:3

hi all! im an incoming freshman and i was wondering about how long move in will take. my two sisters and parents will be there to help, and im on the fifth floor (if any of that makes a difference)!! i know it all depends on the person and family, but i do have a lot of decor and stuff as well. the reason im asking is because my best friend has her first day of classes at MATC on the day i move in, and she wants to come over and hang out after im done moving in. any estimates or whatever you guys think would be appreciated! i have an 8 am move in as well!

hiii!! im moving into smith residence hall (a single) and was wondering if anyone knew how many outlets there were in the room. im assuming one, but wanted to double check and see if anyone knew!! thanks!!

hi! i was wondering if there was any slps working in wisconsin or illinois that would be willing to share their salaries and what they do specifically for work (age group/clinic or schools/etc!!) i am just curious as i am going into becoming an slp in this area (in a few years)!!

i am preparing for move in as an incoming badger, and on the items not allowed list i see extension cords. but everyone i talk to about move in says extension cords are necessary because there are never enough outlets in a dorm!! will i get in trouble if i bring one??

im still very young in becoming an SLP, just about to begin my undergrad, but i was wondering if anyone could give me some pros and cons of working with adults vs kids, and kind of what it entails. i would just like to hear from some current SLPs about their experiences and stuff ☺️ i love working with kids, babysitting, etc, but im also not sure if it would be less tiring to work with adults! i dont want to build a resentment for kids or burnout in my job or anything like that, because i truly love working with them.

i am an incoming badger this year who had no financial support/scholarships, and was wondering if there were any grants or scholarships you guys recommend applying to!! i would love any advice

hi!! i am an incoming freshman and was wondering which physical science class is the easiest for a general credit. for my degree, i need a physical science credit from one of the following classes:

BIOCHEM 104
CHEM 103
CHEM 108
CHEM 109
PHYSICS 103
PHYSICS 107
PHYSICS 109

for reference, i have taken ap chemistry, ap physics c:mechanics, and ap biology, where i got a 3, 3, and a 4, respectively. i am not the best at chemistry or physics, so whatever you guys think is the easiest class or any advice you have for a certain class would be great!

hi!! i am a prospective slp about to start her BA at UW Madison. this university is about 60K a year with no support or scholarships. i will be working a job that pays $15 an hour during the school year and jobs over the summer, and my parents are helping out with about half the cost ($30K a year). i know i will have to get my masters to become an slp as well and i was wondering if it was worth it to take out so much money in loan debt to become an slp, and if you guys have any tips on managing loans, tuition fees, etc, in college. its stressing me out a bit and i would just love any advice you guys have ☺️

hi!! i am just about to start my freshman year at my university for my BA on the path to becoming an slp! i want to major in communication sciences and disorders, and i am debating double majoring in spanish! i was wondering is it worth it to become a bilingual slp? is there a pay difference or is it valued a lot in the work place??

thanks!! and if anyone has any advice for university/my masters/becoming an slp as well let me know!!!
