i got a 73 which put me in the 2nd highest math course available. you need a 80 to be in the highest which im sure ill achieve the 2nd time ill take it. the test had a **** load of logarithms which i completely forgot about. i only got 3 out of 17 logarithm questiions right but got basically everything else right. plus i took this test naked and after a hangover because i had just found out about it and someone told me it was due june 1 so i just rushed through it. its really not a hard test. just study logs and you can look up all the other formulas you forgot online since its untimed. do you have a roommate yet for Texas?
yeah man, i already have a roomie.... do you?? so if you had gotten the logs do you think you would've aced it??
man, this takes me back 12 years.....i snuck out of orientation activities to watch the Rockets lose to the Jazz at The Tavern on Lamar. Not the best memory, but had a good time. That's what older brothers do for you. don't worry so much and you'll have a great time!! I was Jester West 10th floor in 97 and then 9th floor in 98. Going to my best friend's 30th this weekend in Dallas and I met her just down the hall from me. For me, freshman year and the year I turned 21 were the best years but all of college at UT (studied Mechanical Engineering) was the best!!!! After that, the real world starts so enjoy it while you can.
when i read about the test, it said it was artifically intelligent, no multiple choice, and it varied on how you did and i really don't want to take a basic course...
if i had to do it again: 1) i would live in prather, roberts, or breckenridge again. that said, the honors dorms make more "social programs", but they're also a little tighter with the crazy antics. BRP-block is centrally located and pretty lax, depending on the RA. Jester is too much of a crap-shoot to see if you'll get a crazy roommate. 2) live in the dorms for 2 years. i moved out to riverside soph year and immediately regretted it. the dorm life experience was awesome. i just wanted my own room - i should have asked for a single dorm on campus. 3) eat more j2. money saved on food is money well used on beer. also, work out at gregory a lot more - you'll never find a free gym that kicks more ass than this. 4) move to north campus, enfield, or east campus for 3rd and 4th years. 5) take a FIG - you can make friends for life. classes are so big, it's hard to make friends easily. 6) go to some orientation events, meet people, go to co-op parties, but don't show up for class sign-up, as people said, just do it from your laptop. 7) freshman year is potentially the most fun you'll have. just don't let it ruin your GPA. i took it too seriously, and currently spend a lot of time wishing i went just a little bit crazier. the other fun time is your senior year when you're taking 9 hours of "real" class and just chillin' the rest of the time.
Does anyone know what UGS 302 @ UT (undergraduate seminar/3hrs a week) covers and more info please? Thanks
Well, with a quick peek at the course schedule, it looks like it depends on which section you sign up for. It appears that there are like 50 different topics... so what the class will cover depends on what topic you sign up for.
west campus sucks. way too expensive for the tiny rooms you get, parking is impossible, and you have to deal with all the "brosephs" and "sorostitutes" throwing their unique 80s parties. i'll take peace and quiet, good parking, big properties, awesome neighbors, house parties, easy access to stores/cafes, and cheaper rent any day.
agreed, west campus is a mess especially if you have a car. stick to north campus or red river. some nice apartments can be had for very cheap.
Are you sure you aren't thinking of Riverside? I absolutely LOVE living in West Campus, and I'm not even really a partier. It's so close (I live one block from the drag) and it's filled with students. I hate everything Greek, and it isn't an issue. I think the West Campus hate is a lot like the Jester hate... most of the negatives you hear come from people who didn't live there. That being said, there are plenty of other great places to live that are much cheaper, and better if you must have quiet. (Although in my 2+ years living in the center of WC, I have never once thought that it was too loud outside.)
I was in TIP my first year until I transferred to the College of Communication. I was not a fan of the program; small classes like "Critical Thinking," that lack direction and constant group meetings. However, my group only had about 3 worthwhile members in it and the other 3 were useless/didn't participate and we were screwed when it came time to the large group project. One good thing about TIP is you get really early registration for the spring semester, even though yo have to put up with the high school/summer camp atmosphere to do it. I didn't like it, but I know people who loved it and became mentors themselves. Liberal Arts wasn't the place for me.
