I want to use my flex MP to feed someone else, are there any homeless people that tend to hang around campus?

I am aware of the poverty and crime rates in the area. First couple days of class, and it seems most students are partying instead of studying.

pls help me out 💔 it’s not on the site i usually use for downloaded textbooks

Do I need a tablet computer for speed school, like a surface tablet or something like that, or can I get away with a normal windows laptop?

Commuting this year and the site just says “There are not yet any permits available for you to purchase. Please try again later.”. I didn’t have the money for the permit until now so I couldn’t have gotten it earlier. Is it closed or is purple lot somehow sold out?

Is it typical for professors to not upload their syllabus before the first day? I’ve been enrolled in an online program since summer, and so far, I’ve only had 1 syllabus available well in advance before the first day. It’s just super frustrating because I would love to plan ahead. It’s also not always clear what the plan is for the textbook, and I don’t want to buy an online package for a book before I read the fine print of the class.

I’m clearly venting, but if someone actually knows about the syllabus process, I would love to hear about it.

Are there any tips on how to get engineering laptop I’m poor as hell and I don’t see where I would get the money for a complete different laptop for engineering assignments.

how is socializing as a commuter? When I first started started applying for college I planned on living on campus, but had to change my decision because of financial reasons. I do live about 20 minutes from campus so it isn’t a long commute but I am nervous about social life as a commute, any tips?

Hey! For context, I'm a junior in high school taking ENGR 101 at UofL this semester. Engr will be my first in-person uni class. Honestly feeling a bit nervous considering it’s a weedout class and I’d love to hear from people who've taken it:

What should I prioritize or focus on most?
What do people usually underestimate in the class?
What should I expect going in, pace, difficulty, workload?
Anything I should know before the first day?

I appreciate any advice and suggestions you have!

Im moving in tomorrow and I'm just curious. Is the Prov really that bad? I have managed bad housing before so I just want to know if its as bad as people are saying. Also, is security bad as well? I have a pass to park at the lot near Kurz and Bettie Johnson, so will my car be safer there or at the prov. just wanna clear some anxiety

What would you say are the weed out classes for speed school at u of l?

I am a freshmen. Im about to move in soon and I will not have a car on campus. I never had the opportunity to learn how to drive or purchase a car. I was curious to see if there are others on campus that also don't have a car and how is commuting in the city like. Its pretty doable right? Anything I should be aware of?

Hello! I am a sophomore taking ENGR 101 because I was a pre engineer my 1st semester and my 2nd semester I took ENGR 100 but didn’t pass it and passed it my summer semester. Anyways you guys have any advice on how to pass this class and study tips?

I was originally going to be moved into Cardinal Towne, however, I sent in a housing cancellation form in. I originally thought I was going to USC (I was screwed over in credits). UofL housing portal told me that the cancellation form was never processed, they lied. I was placed in the Province yesterday. Stick through it or should I try getting Cardinal Towne down the line? Cardinal Towne looked a LOT nicer.

I took AP calculus ab in high school, and got a 5, with the hope of skipping calculus 1 (engr 101), and taking calculus 2 (engr 102) in my fall semester. However, I found out that engr 102 isn't offered in the fall semester, and now I can either pick to not have a math class this semester, and wait to take engr 102, or take engr 101 (calculus 1), even though I have the credit and won't gain any additional credit for taking, as per my ap exam.

I was anticipating getting a campus job and was told by many staff there that it would be possible but now since we are closer to the year beginning the story has suddenly changed.

I was told a couple months ago that FWS isn't mandatory and that non FWS jobs exist, and now the story has changed completely. I don't know what I'm supposed to do? How will I get income😭

I'm surely not the only person suffering from this
