Incoming freshmen to UofM.. I understand that they normally don't bring dishes but what about water bottles and reusable coffee cups?

Hello all, I am making a schedule for Washtenaw CC for a younger sibling so they can transfer to UMICH COE in a few semesters. Back when I was at WCC during the pandemic, all the main classes transferred regardless of online/in person. I heard the rules now changed where online classes no longer transfer. However, there are a few sections for calculus that say "online, but in person testing requires". Do those transfer seamlessly? Can anyone who has transferred classes recently pitch in?

I am an incoming transfer and I saw so many stories of big dj parties on tiktok during welcome week but how can I find those without having friends or connections the first few weeks?

Heard some of the guidelines changed for transferring math credits? Was planning on taking Diff Eq at a CC next summer. If anyone could explain what changed that’d be great thx

Edit: Thanks to everyone who replied!

Hi! i'm a 2nd yr engineering major who is in a closed club on campus, and while i like it, i think i really want some more balance and and new social circles in my life, esp ones that align with my non-stem and non-career goals.

I'm trying to meet completely new people and ideally in some of my more recreational interests like reading, plants, sports, philosophy, that kinda stuff. just stuff i like and do alone mostly, but want to do with other like minded people.

i also don't think i have it in me to rush/apply/interview for clubs again nor have it in me to do something super heavy on production (like i love the idea of a dance team or zine club, but realistically that can't happen b/c time commitment).

tldr: does anyone have recommendations for easygoing, welcoming clubs with chill people and ideally diverse set of people and majors?

open to things outside of the stuff i listed too, just been craving a third space!

Have any incoming fall transfers been offered a dorm yet?

hello, i’m an incoming junior transfer, male and 20. i am coming from new york and i hope to study neuroscience. since i only have 2 years left if everything goes well, i want to start doing everything soon and that includes making friends and having a social life so i dont miss out on that experience. i feel like im a very different and private person compared to the majority of the people around me and so i am just worried that i wont be able to make any friends, but that why im making this post. ill just give a little about me and anyone who wants to be friends this year can just let me know! maybe also find some friends yourself.

male, 20, hispanic, i love music, art, tattoos, food, soccer, learning new things, sometimes reading, playing guitar, and that’s pretty much it!

I’m currently in EMT classes and will be licensed by the time the school year begins. I’m a U of M student and I would love to get a part time job on an ambulance during the school year. Does anyone know any companies/firehouses within 15 miles of Ann Arbor hiring part time EMT basics?

I was talking to my friends at SMU and UT Austin, and they each said they had to already start reaching out to girls to recruit for their sorority. I know it’s a southern school, but is it it similar at Michigan?

Scored 5s on AP Stats and AP Psych so now I’m 7 credits short for this semester and need two 3-4 credit electives to replace PSYCH 111 and NURS 218. But I also have to take BIOLCHEM 212 and basically every elective is overlapping lol. What are some interesting electives you have taken that are easy and preferably have no exams (minimal effort haha)?

I am starting my first semester at UM Ann Arbor this fall. There are many jobs and I would rather not manually filter through all of them without anywhere to start. If anyone could recommend me jobs that are generally desirable, or maybe some more specific jobs based on my interests: I rock climb (~V5-V6 boulders, probably V8 by the end of my first year), I play the drum set (jazz, mainly), and I'll be double majoring in PPE and probably chemistry or neuroscience (though I like all subjects more or less equally). Thank you!

Hi guys! I’m a current UM Dearborn student hoping to transfer to AA in the coming years. unfortunately my first year i ended with 24 credit hours and a 2.27 GPA due to having to shift focus from academics to work (60+ hours a week and having to be the household leader for the year). Just recently i’ve gotten everything in order though and i’m completely ready to tackle the coming year(s).

For those unfamiliar, Dearborn gives its students a unique opportunity to retake a class and replace their transcript grade completely with the new grade. This is great because i’m able to increase my gpa from a 2.27 to something much higher but i’m slightly worried because my credit hours will only register as 24 across both years if i did this (12CH a year). Now im at a crossroads, do i retake everything and tank my credits (but get left with a roughly 3.8 GPA) or do i continue and get 32 CH next year with a 4.0 and get a maximum of 3.2 GPA? So many options yet im not sure which one is most favorable in the eyes of admissions. Any help would be much appreciated. i’d like to note that im actually relatively decent in academics but I simply had the time to only attend classes and take the quizzes/tests so im confident a near 4.0 is in my territory. Thank you All for the help!

Grades i got in the classes I can retake

B-/3CH
B & Lab/4CH
D+/3CH
C & Lab/4CH
