My laptop is suddenly having hard drive issues. Any recommendations for local pc repair?

Does anyone have any recommendation for or against either of the 2 mcat testing centers in buffalo. Theres the getzille one and also the williamsville one i think.

Hi guys!! I’ve seen a lot of posts about part time jobs/work study lately, and with that I thought I’d post the job on here. It’s about a 10-15 minute drive from north campus, on the corner of N. French and Transit in East Amherst. If you’re interested or know someone who might be interested, apply! I know that this store is looking for applicants going into the Christmas season. If yall have any questions, feel free to dm me!!

Does anybody know any other off/on campus jobs i can get without a work study. I applied to a few on handshake but haven't gotten a response back.

Do you guys recommended taking it spring sem or over the summer?

All these exams are of 20 points which is same as 20 weightage so you could easily loose weightage and A?

Hey guys! Long story short, I found out that I got cheated on and want to have some fun this weekend indigo to the Chippewa bar crawl :))))). Please DM me if you have any tickets. I just need one.

Hey guys, I just applied for a graduate program over in the SEAS for the fall 2027 semester. I'm currently a UB undergrad student and was wondering when we would typically be hearing about whether we get accepted into the program or not.

Does anyone have any insight?

12:30-1:30 Weds. 28th in 7 Diendorf Hall! If you have opinions or just want to make sure campo knows we’re paying attention, be sure to show face.

Changed my major from math to sociology and criminology (very long story). I’d like to learn more about women and children that commit crimes, rehabilitating criminals, and also, completely unrelated, internet meme culture.

What courses would be good to take for these interests? I am planning on taking Urban Sociology, Sociology of City Life, and Juvenile Justice, Organized Crime, Gender & Crime, and Beyond the Walls. Even if they’re offered occasionally I’d love to hear them if possible.

Thank you!

I wasn’t sure if there were any courses anyone would recommend

I've listened to advice in office hours on not overthinking, but I end up getting confused on how to solve something. I get stuck on even after writing out the inputs and outputs and making an example to see how it would work. I just keep getting stuck on little problems that end up taking a lot of time for me to solve and I don't know why this always happens. I swear I'm trying my best, but it's not enough. This happens every week, and I have to take the class in order to graduate. I don't know what's wrong with me. I go as slow as possible and I genuinely do try, but I end up have to turn in assignments late and I end up getting a lower grade. I just don't know why I can't do this. I'm sick of feeling this way, and I'm just tired of myself failing over and over again.

I need to take one of these next semester, but I have pretty much zero hardware knowledge, so I’m looking for the most beginner-friendly option:

• CSE 490 with Naeem Maroof
• CSE 379 with Kris Schindler
• CSE 489 with Sai Roshan Ayyalasomayajula

For anyone who’s taken them:

• How is the grade broken down (exams, homework, projects/labs)?
• What’s the weekly workload like?
• Which one would be easiest to do well in without prior hardware experience?

I've seen a statistically-significant uptick in depressed posters in this subreddit recently and it occurred to me that it is, indeed, close to winter, which means time for seasonal depression... yay...

If you haven't heard of this: seasonal affective disorder ("SAD", lol) is one of many reasons a person could get depressed this time of year. All the usual depression symptoms - low energy, oversleeping, negative emotions, overeating, etc - can happen as a result, and depending on the person, it can be very subtle, the first time it happened to me I didn't even notice until I felt better in the summer.

So if you've been feeling kind of bad for no particular reason, this could be it. As for what to do about it, some options include:

• Vitamin D: especially this far north most people are deficient in this vitamin. They have it cheap in most grocery stores (including Aldi and the dollar store).
  • Note: if you want to check for serious deficiency that's a pretty simple and cheap blood test. You should be able to request it at Student Health Services.
• Magnesium: clinically recommended as part of treating depression in general. You can take it with the vitamin D for best efficacy.
  • Note: there are multiple chemical structures of magnesium out there; magnesium oxide is less recommended as it can irritate the stomach.
• Light therapy: under the same umbrella as vitamin D deficiency, insufficient exposure to sunlight can contribute to seasonal depression. I put it lower on this list because the lights for light therapy cost more money, but you can find them online. You sit in front of the sun lamp for 30 minutes to an hour every day.
  • Note: don't stare at the light, though. It's bright.

I'm trying to do a story for my journalism class assignment. I want to use nostalgia as my theme and basically write about how 2026 is giving 2016 vibes and how everyone's in this era of nostalgia, plushies, rewatching childhood shows, etc.

I'm not sure how to start it, so does anyone have any ideas?

Also, would anyone be willing to get interviewed? No video, just a recording so that I can use quotes in my story?

Thanks.

Does anyone have experience with dropping classes are the Add/Drop date is over? Or if theres a percentage to where I can drop a class without having to pay or getting my financial aid taken. It’s a genderal ed course so I’m planning on just taking it again next semester.

What’s the warmest place to study in north campus. I’m always cold 🥶😱

Been applying to jobs through handshake for like the last month and a half and no luck. Genuinely just need some petty cash, and it’s so hard 😭. If anyone has any advice, please let me know.

Hi all, am applying to Ubuffalo. Question about the dorms since im from long island: will i find ethnic first gens to dorm with? or is it only athletes and white kids that dorm…

Afraid the commuter population is so large and ill be left alone. I need somebody similar to me, and if the environment is unwelcoming I wont be able to handle dorming

I lost my white Apple Pencil (USB-C) somewhere near NSC or Knox after having my 8 am class at NSC 222 yesterday. Apparently someone also posted about some missing Apple Pencil yesterday night on Snapchat. If someone has found it please inform me 🙏🙏

This is so stupid. Why can’t I double major in the school of management?? I pay money to be here I should be allowed to double major in whatever I want. They allow double majoring within the same school pretty much every where. What makes UB so special that you can’t double majors within a school.

Hey everyone! I’m a NYS resident planning to transfer to UB fall 2027

I wanted to know how those of you who’ve lived on campus for a while have managed to get your housing fully covered by financial aid every semester/year without paying out of pocket.

Also, what housing options did you choose, and did you base your choice on how much aid you received?
Has your aid stayed pretty consistent each year?

I graduated high school well over 5 years ago, so I’m assuming I’d qualify for most, if not all, of the on-campus housing options, including apartments.
I’d love to hear how you guys have made it work, especially if you’re also a NYS resident. Thanks!

What are the best apartment options near north campus. I have a car but prefer not to drive it to class on north and south campus. When do people usually sign leases for next year? Thanks!

That guy that goes around in the grim reaper costume needs to understand that chasing women (or anyone for that matter) around campus at night is super fucking weird. Sure it's funny if someone else comes up to him or they're in the same area and he casually approaches but there are people who are concerned about their safety and having someone that you cannot identify coming after you when you aren't interested in fooling around like that is just creepy.
