Seeing pretty privilege in action during class
In one of my classes (smaller size so more intimate setting) the professor always greets the prettier girls/people in general when they walk in and say goodbye to them, but i’ve noticed that i’ve never been greeted by him before. i sit in the front everyday and participation is a big thing, i had my hand raised for a long time to answer a question and he picked multiple people around me, and chose girls who had already spoken before. i try not to take it personally but i am aware that i am an unattractive girl and i just hate that the difference in privilege shows even in my class. when he does choose me to speak he often brushes over my answer while he elaborates on other conventionally attractive people’s answers. i try so hard to be engaged in this class, but its really upsetting when i am overlooked due to my appearance.
Why the fk do you now need a VPN to access Studentadmin?
This has to be the most ridiculous and unnecessary change I could think of. There's zero logical reason to have this level of security when there already was 2 step verification and that worked fine for all of my years as a student.
I graduated in August this year and now I have no way to view my transcripts because its not letting me connect to the VPN. My netid and password still goes through but authentication for the VPN fails.
Saying that this is a major inconvenience is an understatement.
Failed first exam in Calc 3 (MATH2110Q) and don’t know what to do
For context, I have been good with studying for my other courses, but because this calc allowed a cheat sheet, I don’t think I tried my hardest to study. I was too reliant on it while taking the exam and blanked on multiple questions, so I doubt I got close to a passing grade, or even halfway. This is 100% my fault, I don’t even know what I was thinking trying to cram.
On the syllabus, the two exams and the final weigh as 30% each, and 10% PPP (basically participation), and considering my prediction on my exam 1 score, I’m at a loss of how to move forward. I think there’s a 1% boost from extra credit which I’ll be doing, but if I got a 50% on my exam, the highest grade I could get in the course is an 86%.
Is there any way that I can help my grade? I heard last year’s layout for MATH2110 has changed a bit, but is there anything that might be useful in my case?
If anything, I will continue to work hard on understanding the material in a spaced out manner, and I’m sure I’ve learned from my horrible mistake…
Parking, concessions and/or Food choices at UConn.
Hi everyone, heading up tonight with my nieces for the UConn women's soccer game at 6:30.
Few questions for you. I graduated in 2007 and only been up a few times since.
Will the South Parking Garage be available? We want to check the Co-Op out before gametime. Is the soccer stadium in close walking distance from there?
Does the Morrone Stadium have a concession stand and/or food options?
If no concessions, recommendation for a decent restaurant?
Thanks in advance!

Storrs to NYC anyone
Hi!
So I'm going to be visiting friends at UConn Friday October 9th thru Sunday October 11th. I'm taking the FlixBus from NYC to Storrs, but there are no direct busses back. Is there anyone who's driving to NYC from Storrs on Sun Oct 11? Anyone driven to NYC that day? In return u can get a meal swipe at NYU or gas money...??
I don't want to take the bus back bc like... the transfers... My friend said it's really hard to go back... I guess once u go Storrs u never come back...
Winter Macro1202??
Hello everyone. I have a question regarding macroeconomics, ECON 1202
I took it in fall '25 and got a C in the class. I then took Micro and got an A, so I wanted to retake Macro this winter and try to get a high GPA without messing up my spring '27 courses.
Does anyone know how the class is taught over the winter? If so, could you please share your experience plus any tips on the course structure? I'd be taking it online asynchronously; it says the campus is Storrs. Thank you!!
