This is my Tuesday/Thursday schedule. Is it even worth it to do these transitions between campus and Ellicott? Also I won't be living in Ellicott next sem if that's a factor.

Which one should I take.. For context I hated 331 and 341 but 220 was my favorite class.

I've taken Kelin Luo and I don't understand her accent at all but I've only heard of nightmares with Thomas Hayes.

Should I take the chance with 429 because it's an easier class? Even tho Hayes probably won't follow the curriculum

are there any honors students that have struggled to meet the requirements for credits?? i transferred to UB for my junior year and applied my first semester here, which has left me with 3 semesters to get 15 credits of experiences, including this one that's almost over.

i'm doing an honors contract this semester, which isn't bad, but my next semester is going to be busy and i'm worried. i really wanted to do research or an internship but i don't think i can make the time commitment. i'm going to be a TA for a course (maybe two) in the fall, which will get me more credits, but i don't know how i will make 15 by graduation. how do people do this on top of working outside of school??

we need more dr pepper on campus 🤺

Hey y'all,

I'm a sophomore Mechanical Engineering student, and I'm currently facing some pretty severe issues with my schedule. During the fall semester, I failed Calculus III, and that barred me from taking Dynamics and Differential Equations this spring semester. I had several Academic Advising meetings over Winter Break to try to figure out what my next moves should be, and it was recommended that I take Dynamics and DFQs over Summer 2026, which would put me exactly where I'm supposed to be for Fall Jr. yr. Part of this recommendation was that I take these missing courses at community colleges (FLCC and ECC) online to avoid paying UB's high credit hour cost. I thought this was the perfect plan and kept it in the back of mind all semester

Earlier this month, I started the process to get myself into these summer courses, only to find that THEY DON'T EXIST. Those schools don't offer summer sessions for those classes and never did. I called around to other local community colleges and was told the same thing- those classes simply are not offered over the summer ANYWHERE. So my options are either I pay $3K to take those classes during summer at UB, or I take them this upcoming fall, which would make me graduating in 4 years impossible.

I know our Academic Advising department here is unspeakably bad, but this? Lying to my face and tanking my entire timeline? What am I even supposed to do now? Do I have ANY recourse?

I went back to the Academic advising office in person (I have another appointment on Thursday now. I doubt it will be of any use) and spammed the advisor that lied to me with emails, but I've gotten nothing. It feels like nobody is willing to work with me or wants to help me and I am at a complete loss.

Has anyone here had a similar experience? Any advice? Thank you.

To those who attended the UB Con Cosplay contest did anyone happen to take a video of the skit category? Was hoping to show my friend my performance.

i love posting on here lol.

okay so like i did a fall semester withdrawal, got into a major i hated with classes i have 0 motivation to pass or try in; so obviously my grades will be less than ideal for my standards (i was always an A's and B's fella in high school). is there any chance of me to bounce back from a lackluster first year of college? im in the UBteach program now and they require specific GPA requirement of 3.0 to pursue more into the program; will I be able to achieve this? i am passing a few classes, only failing 2, however my gpa will be all gross and yucky.

i already have decided to do summer classes, redo the classes i will fail, switched my major to that UBteach and overall try to pass my next semester classes. will i be fine?

Hello guys, currently I was accepted to UB, majoring in ComputerScience.
I am now preparing to move their, can anyone suggest me what to buy before landing in the US (from the viewpoint of an International student)
I am also fanatic about running, is there any upcoming marathon this fall 2026 or spring 2027?

I look forward for your advice.

anyone know?

Settle it in the comments!

Please just throw metal things like spoon, fork , and knives in the down section in dish return. Please.

It feels so annoying while doing the dishes to see cones and tissues and other food stuff in it.

Thank you

I’m already signed up for it so what’s the good and the bad compared to Elicott.

I got admitted to UB and plan on doing engineering. I haven’t committed yet but it seems like my best option. However, the issue is I recently got my teeth done (I didn’t have the finances to do this earlier, and if I do it later than it would be harder for my teeth to move and for them to expand my palate) and my orthodontist wants me to come back every month for check ups for at least a year. Is it realistic for me to go to UB and be able to come back once a month?

I was also thinking of committing to Binghamton University as well and was between the two. With Binghamton I think it’s more doable. And engineering is ok there as well. Overall UB is cheaper though. 😭
