TLDR: I made a transit app LoopGoer (loopgoer.com), I’m looking for people to test it out. Some noticeable features are live alert (tell u stuff like broken elevator, staion closure train delays…etc)

Hi everyone,
I’m not a student at Depaul nor in Chicago in general matter of facts I graduated at IUB (Indiana). I just move to Chicago 3 months ago. I noticed something immediately the moment I move is public transit here is quite confusing for new comer. Apps like Ventra definitely not doing a good job at show case the bus/trains and I dont know why Metra and CTA has to be separated like that. With the recent Green Line/ Pink Line Closure Google Maps and Apple Maps doesnt even work properly. Now Transit is not bad but I will be honest the UI quite suck and confusing. So as a CS student I made this app called LoopGoer. The app is currently still underdeveloped but it’s 90% done! and I’m looking for test user, app will be 100% free of charges no bullshit ads! I need you guys honest opinion and feel free to AMA!

Visit: loopgoer.com

I made it so I can tell you what features it has

Before anything: This app is not meant to replace google maps or apple maps, it just provided a better representation to make public transit easier! Also an explore feature let you check out the city for less money and more fun

Want to get a feel for the area. Somewhere walking distance. Ideally no chains. Whatchu got?

This is a post I made in the UIC sub. DePaul is the other major option for me as it's the only other school without a housing requirements. Currently I'm definitely leaning towards UIC am I missing anything about DePaul that I should consider?

I’d think that dorm events are for the residents of that dorm but they’re also posted publicly on dehub so I’m not sure

Just wondering if the classes are really difficult and if it’s worth joining at all

Has anyone taken CSC 352 (Database Programming) with this professor Peter Bondarenko How are the exams, and what is the class like? I’m thinking about taking it online in Winter 2027.

this is a new low but i lowkey am friendless as a commuter :( i wanna pop my halloweekend cherry too i just have no one to go with so like hmu if u a real one #younghosunite

edit: lack of humor around these parts but i meant popping my halloweekend cherry as in going to my first halloween party…

I absolutely bombed the midterm for probability and statistics one and it’s completely my fault… for anyone who has taken this course with this professor, how was the finals like and aside from office hours, what can I do to save this abysmal grade from failing cause both the midterm and final is worth 30% of the class each

Depauls my top choice because they have a costume deaign major and its not in the middle of nowhere. Is it a good option? I want to go into theatrical costume design specificly (in chigaco), and im wondering if its worth the jumpscare pricetag

Have any first year students been accepted yet? I’ve literally heard back from every school but DePaul lol

Suppose I am a senior with 8 credits left, 4 of which I've already accounted for. That leaves me with the experimental learning class left. Last summer, I wasn't able to get into the internship class. I got an internship, but most of it will be over winter break. The start and end date aren't ideal, but it's a major tech company and I would be stupid for not taking it. That will be like, 3 internships since I've been in school. Granted, I might have fucked up by not taking the class sooner. Is there anyway I can take the class over winter break or use it for the class this winter quarter? If not, how can I just fill the credit to get it out of the way without going through months of internship applications. Has anyone had success with like... Idk maybe getting the credit waved?

Please advise.

Hey everyone, quick question: Is the passing grade for CSC 355 60% or 70%? With Eliécer Ayala

I am taking a course with Kristina Feeser right now and liking her so far but also considering her daughter Kristiana Feeser for next quarter and wanted to ask if she is strict or not and does she take midterm exam?

Hello! I wanted to go on here and ask if any of you happen to have WRD 104 professor recommendations for my upcoming quarter. I want to take it asynchronously, though I'm not sure which professors would be good for that. A lot of people are registering for Katharine Romero Jimenez, but I can't find much information on how her course is formatted or on student feedback.

Thank you to anyone who is kind enough to interact with this post and can provide me with some WRD 104 professor recommendations!

I got a notification from outlook - i’ve never gotten this before is it just positive feedback for my general class?

I blurred out the name because it had name in it

need about 10 claude users and 10 chatgpt users
only takes 5-10 min!!

Hi! (If they have) Is anyone selling tickets for Angine de Poitrine at The Salt Shed in Chicago on November 29 or 30? I had no idea they were coming back after Riot Fest, and I’d love to go! Please DM me if you have any tickets available. Thank you!! 🙏

Last winter he moved his exams to in person instead of online. How were the midterms like? Did he curve the exam and by how much? And how much of the class do you believe passed his class?

I'm applying to DePaul (EA) for film and tv BFA prob documentary concentration

Also submitting a portfolio: (still from short sustainable fashion designer doc, double exposure photography from a short profile doc I made about a traveling performer, 2 paintings, 3min clip of the fashion doc, + maybe some storyboard sketches?? not 100% sure yet...)

Hello everybody,

I’m currently finishing my final year at college majoring in CS with a minor in DS. I’m contemplating whether or not to pursue my master’s at DePaul. I’m wondering if anyone here has gone through the same path and would be willing to share their experience.

What were the courses like?

How are the professors?

What did you like and not like about the MS program?

Would the CS background help me prepare for certain classes?

How is the workload?

Please feel free to tell me more about it!

Hello! I'm currently in the process of choosing courses for the 2026-2027 Winter Quarter, and I was hoping that I could get some advice on what courses I should take/avoid taking, or recommendations for any specific professors.

I talked to my counselor, and she recommended that I take these courses next quarter:

- Focal Point

- ACC 102

- WRD 104

-More up for grabs: FIN 310/MKT 301/BUS 103

I am willing to hear out other people's advice, whether it would be replacing any classes from this list, choosing one of the courses listed at the end over the others, or any specific professor recommendations for the courses listed. Thank you so much to anyone who decides to reply and take the time out of their day to provide some advice/suggestions based on their own experiences!
