he’s a stubborn 18 year old boy who doesn’t really care about college. he’s going willingly but he doesn’t adapt to change well. he’s has orientation later this month, which i’m hoping will get him excited.

he hasn’t done his placement tests or anything yet and our mom isn’t thrilled about that lol.

he’s living in a triple in fox which might be good for him due to easy access to the dining hall, the amount of people living in that building and easy access to the rec center (he loves basketball).

any tips or suggestions would help! maybe some things to do on / around campus would be nice too

I’m seeing a lot of people here not being very lucky with rooms or room swaps in general. Are you guys finding anything through the room swap portal? (I would try but I have a good dorm and don’t wanna go through the hassle of it all).

i was on housing portal and saw a concordia triple which i wasn’t aware existed. has this always been there or are they forcing triples?

Hey chat is there any hope that I can get housing before school starts? I currently do not have housing because I did the housing application late (I never received the amount that I’d be paying for all 4 years, only an estimate so I didn’t want to sign the housing contract), and now I’m a bit nervous. Does anyone also know how long the waiting list is?

I can’t seem to find it on my portal ? Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me doing something wrong.

I am a first year student. I’m in the honors college, but I am not in the LLC because I messed up. I am hoping to get out of my current living arrangements as it’s with someone a lot older than me and I hope someone else is looking for someone. I’m looking for Concordia hopefully because I’m a psych major and it’s right on South campus, but any hall will do so long as I’m not paired with a 24 year old. Message me for more!

Does room trade generally work better than room swap? Or r people just using room swap to find better housing.

Anyone know when final grades for the summer session I 6-week courses (ended on June 29th) are due? My professor just said “end of the week”, but I was hoping to know a clear exact date to see if there’s time to submit a missing assignment or not. Did anyone’s professor mention their deadline?

Hi! So this may be a dumb question, but it would really help me save money if I could find an answer! I'm an incoming freshman who will be dorming in a six-person suite in USuites in the fall, and I was wondering if the provided desks are the type that come with a shelf portion or simply a flat top? I'm a big reader, so I am hoping for a shelf to store my books. Thanks to anyone who can help me find out!

I'm thinking about registering for the first year orientation virtual, as I don't really have time or the ability to show up in person. Is this a good idea?

I got a double in Fox and now I am wondering where my room is in relation to the bathroom, stairs, laundry, elevator. Are there floor maps with room
numbers? Also curious what my view will be.

I'm an incoming freshman student.

Me and a friend decided that we wanted to room together, however we were put into a suite with 3 other roommates that are all older than us. We did not want this to happen, and would have preferred to have gotten a double room only. When we did the application, all doubles were already taken.

Is there a way we could potentially swap into a double, or is it too late? Any advice is appreciated

i got assigned the second day to get a dorm (im a freshman) and literally the ONLY option was fox hall. i randomly picked a room on floor 17 bc there was only triples and quads, and that was one of the like two triples open. i heard it gets worse the higher up you are but i had barely any choice, even though i logged in as soon as it opened only the high floors of fox were left. I’m gonna try to room swap when i can.

I have a lot of friends that go to UMass Lowell for Engineering and say that it’s Engineering program is similar to UMass Amherst’s but it has closer ties with the industry.

On the other hand I feel like UMass Amherst’s prestige and overall selectivity is just higher than that of Lowell’s but I don’t know because I’m not in the field.

Assuming a person can get into both which school do you guys think is better for the major overall?

im trying to pick my dorm rn and for some reason its only showing fox hall. i got assigned the second day but is there really a chance that all of the other dorms got filled? I literally logged in as soon as it opened
