I’ve contacted a few mobile mechanics, but they haven’t been able to properly diagnose my car. Does anyone have recommendations for a trustworthy shop that charges reasonable prices? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Academics Math 616 or Math 632

3 Upvotes

I’m considering these 2 classes; and from my understanding 616 seems more coding based while 632 is more paper/pencil math? I don’t necessarily mind either style, but would like to hear some personal experiences with the classes.

If anyone has taken either of these classes, I’d love to hear about your experience and how the class was structured (e.g. assignments and exams, attendance, difficulty)

Thanks!

Housing Housing for next year

What are some good housing options for next year? I’m planning on living in a studio or a 1bd/1bath, not necessarily close to campus but that’d be nice, I’m currently paying around 1.3k for a studio but the building I’m in isn’t the best honestly and it’s a little run down..

Rant/Vent Why doesn’t UW Madison clean it’s buildings’ windows?

62 Upvotes

Been here for a few years now, and I feel like they never clean the windows of most buildings.

It really kills the charm of the university.

You go into college library and can barely look out the window

Academics Pls let me know

0 Upvotes

I applied for freshmen admission, UW - Madison is my dream college.

Graduated one sem early, Texas high school - applying for the real estate major

My stats are 3.59 GPA unweighted, top 18% ( it’s very low because of my senior grades, as I faced something which I have explained in my application.)

ACT - 36 ( hopefully they can overlook the GPA and rank)

Ecs are solid, I’ll just list a few, all are equllly important to me but I don’t wanna make it long to read

-2 CBRE internships, one is 6 months long,

- a project where I have created a program to help underprivileged students in India and give them opportunity’s, I have grown it to 400 students.

- daily volunteer in my religious place

- trying to go pro in pickleball and grinding everyday.

Common app essay is sold, it talks about human connections and also the project that I am doing in India for the students.

Supplemental essay is also solid and speaks about my interest in real estate

Pls let me know if I have a good chance in getting

Social COB Process

Hi! I'm struggling to find more info about the cob process for sororities here. I submitted my COB interest form through panhellenic in mid-September and some of my friends put recommendations in for me at their chapters, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Is this normal? When can I expect a response? Are there any other steps I should take?

Badger Sports Hitting the Gym as a Trans Person

45 Upvotes

I am a trans girl and I really want to get fitter. Nick seems quite accessible, but I am a bit worried about locker rooms: I don't want to get uncomfortable or make anyone else feel weird either. Are there any lockers outside of the gendered locker rooms, just to drop your stuff off? There are single-stall bathrooms there and I don't mind changing there, but it would still be hard to do without a locker nearby...
Would also love to hear about other trans folks' experiences in UW's gyms, both in open rec and working with trainers. Thanks!!

Other Park-and-Ride: How is it?

8 Upvotes

Hello! My current top college choice is UW-Madison and I've already applied for the fall 2027 semester. However, my two best friends plan to attend Madison Area Technical College and want me to room with them in an apartment. I really want to join them because, well, they're my best friends, but all of the places right near UW campus are either super expensive or have an income requirement that we just don't meet.

To those who've participated in the school's park-and-ride system: is it good? As a college freshman, would it be a good experience for me to commute via car to their lot and then take a shuttle the rest of the way? So far this seems like the most realistic option for my situation but I'm just a little worried. Thanks!
