Hi, graduating in the summer semester and I’m just wondering about how graduation tickets usually work.

How far ahead of graduation do they usually send out the link to get tickets for guests at graduation?

Are you limited to a certain number you can get?

Do they cost anything?

does the day you go to BBO affect how likely youll get the schedule you want? like for example if you go earlier youll have a better chance

Hi, incoming student here. I am wondering if it is a good idea to live away from campus and commute by bus? Is it safe, and does it have rides late night as well? I am looking at places in downtown and Hyde park near bus stops. Any suggestions are welcome!

Hey everyone. I'm a 26-year-old non-traditional student here (Substance Abuse Counseling major), and I’ve noticed there isn’t really a dedicated space for those of us operating on a different wavelength than the typical younger crowd.

Whether you’re a grad student, in a professional program, or an older undergrad balancing real life with academics, campus can feel a bit disconnected when you're intensely focused on building a serious future.

I'm putting together an unofficial network called Mature & Motivated for UC students 24+. The goal is to build a high-value community where we can coordinate high-focus study blocks, share resources, and network with peers who actually get it. We’ll be hosting a lot of our co-working sessions at the Carl H. Lindner College of Business to get out of the usual study spots.

We are stepping away from the typical college chaos to build a network of disciplined, grounded individuals. If you're looking for an environment like that, click the link to join the Discord: https://discord.gg/av6xy54W6

I’m trying to see what a line of Korean-inspired executive menswear would be like.

Is anyone able to talk me through the logistics of such a thing?

How would the commissioning process work? What inputs would they need from me? How much might such a project cost?

Coming from several states away, is it ok to keep my own bank account with my home bank or should I open a checking account with a local bank? If so, which one?

hello! i am an incoming freshman (not accepted but hoping!) and i’m wondering what UC dorms are the best. i like to be social, live with a lot of people like a suite or apartment style which i know they have a lot of. i am looking for one preferably with single rooms, double could do, and a bathroom in the room. i’m basically a transfer with not enough credits , so i have lived on a univ campus before and i am complete germophobe so i am very adamant on my own space. i also prefer a type of dorm where everyone on the floors are social, like people leaving their doors opens to meet friends and meeting random people in the hallways and lobbies, etc. any help is appreciated 🙂

On Sunday morning around 1:30-2am, myself, my partner, and a friend of ours were in line at raising canes when we were approached by two private security guards and told we had to choose in or out. The building was crowded and we were standing with the door propped open. Very quickly after they approached us they threw my friend out of the building quite violently. At this point I got involved and was yelling that he wasn’t doing anything wrong. A guard told me to leave and I began backing out of the area while continuing to talk to security. A third party then got involved and was yelling slurs and inflammatory remarks at my partner and I. (For context we are both transgender) the security was doing nothing about this guy and were even laughing while he called us all manner of hateful things. As I continued to be backed out of the U square area the third party was following the security and continuing to yell at us. Once we got to the edge of the securities self proclaimed jurisdiction the third party shoved my friend to the ground extremely hard and his head hit the concrete. Security did nothing about this and when my friend got back up the three of us were maced by the security guards. I have been in contact with the police, raising canes and U square management. I have found that the security guards are contracted from a company called protos security. They made a big deal about how they had body cams but when I asked for a badge number or any way to identify them they refused. Who keeps these people accountable? Who reviews that body cam footage? They are armed with guns, mace, and other weapons and are not afraid to use them. My partner noticed that a few people were filming this interaction, if anyone has that footage it would be greatly appreciated. These people should not be serving our community and need to be held accountable for blatant abuse of power.

TLDR: two trans people and their friend got thrown around and maced by some private security hired by raising canes, rowdy paw, and shake shack and were physically assaulted and verbally harassed by an uninvolved party and are hoping to get footage from bystanders

So I signed up for an online summer class, and I dont particularly care for the professor does stuff. I noticed one of the other professors ive heard good things about, and is going to be teaching a class im taking in the fall has some open seats for the class im currently, do i need permission from my advisor to switch to that class or can i just do that right now?

Hello! I just recently applied to transfer to UC and just wondering how long does it take for them to respond to applications? Also what are my chances of getting in since I was at EKU for a year but had to retake classes my second semester due to how campus life was treating me there. I was able to get my GPA back up to a 2.4 and recently finished a semester at a CC here in Kentucky online with a 3.1. Thank you!!

I keep getting emails about it. The only stuff I find online is some people who say its sketchy. Does anyone have any experiences with it? Thank you!

When do you find out if you make deans list or where do I check?

i’m a grad student and i have 1 in person class this semester so i absolutely refuse to pay for a parking permit. when i got to ccm, the front entrance was closed, so i went around to the other entrance and it was permit only. does anyone know why or when this will be over? other parking is so much further :(

I’m a prospective student and I’m wondering about the co-op opportunities?

So I’m assuming that it’s 5 required co-op rotations, but the job market is really tough so I’m just basically asking what happens if you can’t secure a job for that rotation, and how likely is that?

Any kind of insight is helpful 😭
