I don’t want anything too crazy tbh,, just solid color gel x nails.. let me know i would be eternally grateful

Hi, I’m a bio major and premed. I need advice for picking streams.

Should I aim for stream that fulfills both bio and chem lab? Some of the stream that I’m looking at only fulfill bio lab credit (like Behavioral Neuroscience). Would that be fine? Or should I try to double dip.

Also, while this might sound lazy, I don’t want stream that are too challenging/super time consuming. I’m aware that each stream provides their own struggle and I’m not expecting to just show up and get an A, but I don’t really want to have to constantly worry over getting an A or not.

I did horrible on the first exam and got like a 78 and I just had the exam 2 and was not able to finish the last paragraph of the last question which would put me in the high 80s I think but there is no letter grades in the syllabus so I really have no idea how this class is going to be graded. Does anyone know how the percentages for grades work for this class? Im literally so stressed and hate this class.

Hi all, I draw illustrations of closed college-town hangouts: the booth, the sign, the street out front. I'd like to do that for UT, and I need the people who were there to tell me what to draw. I haven't drawn anything for Austin yet, and nothing here is for sale.

A few I've started with (years are from news and local history, so correct me if I'm off):
- Les Amis Cafe, 24th & Nueces (coffee and people-watching, to 1997)
- Liberty Lunch (open-air club, to 1999)
- Nau's, 24th & San Gabriel (soda fountain and burgers, to 2007)
- Players, MLK & Guadalupe (burgers and a bar, to 2014)
- Milto's, Guadalupe (gyros and pizza, to 2019)
- Spider House Café, Fruth St (coffee house and bar, to 2020)

What would help most:
1. Which closed spot is missing from that list? Bars most of all, but also delis, record stores, pizza, anything from your UT years that you still talk about.
2. What do you remember? The order, the booth, the band, the sign, the night. One detail is plenty.
3. If you have an old photo of the place, I'd love to see it. I'd only use it as a reference to redraw from scratch, never copy it, and only with your OK.

What did I miss?

Full disclosure: this is my small business, Lost Hangouts. I turn these places into tribute t-shirts, but that's the last step. First I want the drawings and the memories right. No links here. If a mod thinks this breaks the sub's commercial-post rule, I'll take it down, and I'm happy to move it to a different thread.

If anyone could share their experience as an MIS major, that would be great.

I think I've lost the ability to read books for fun. every time I try I feel guilty for not reading assigned texts for class instead.

it’s already expensive to buy books for my classes, but reading on my laptop hurts my eyes. I personally just like reading physical books where i can annotate and not worry about returning to a library, but my measly wallet pays the price for that preference lol.

Does anyone have any advice on balancing reading for fun vs for school? what about physical books vs ebooks?

we‘re going to live in a 4x4 at the sinclair, dm if interested!

10/26 Struggled a but getting home cuz of it, but im mostly just curious.

Is there anyone that can workout with me at the Rec center? I wanna work out on whole body workouts, looking to build muscle and lean out. Preferably a dude to work with who has trained that I can learn from.

I wanna workout most weekday evenings, early evenings (4-7). I want someone to hold me accountable and give me support/advice. Even better if it’s a small group of yall (2-5 people).

Let me know :)

I’m a junior guy that skipped halloweekend last year and unfortunately don’t have anyone to go out with this year, looking for others in the same boat who are down to pregame then go out. Down for 6th, frats, whatever yall into

So, I’m wanting to use one of my q drops to protect my gpa and that would make me a part time student for this semester.

I receive full FAFSA grants and aid and am wondering if that means I’ll have to repay any of this now or later? I’m fine with delaying graduation a semester but I’m also wondering if anybody received any other consequences for dropping from full to part time other than this concern I have?

Will speak with advisors but want a student perspective 🙏

I have so many exams and assignments surrounding the date

Please lmk if you’re interested or know someone that is ;-;

I was wondering if anyone has a 2b/2b for around $1200 or knows of one around that price range for the 2027-2028 school year. 1250 max

Pls I need help like actually I did so bad last test

Hello! I have been looking for a good book club that doesn't necessarily have to just be pre-med related but includes topics like bioethics, philosophy, sociology, psych, etc. Does something like this even exist here? Let me know :)

I'm currently studying for the MCAT and trying to decide whether to take INB 365S (Human Physiology) with Austin or INB 321G (Computational Biology) with Bentley next semester. I register for classes next week and want to figure out which course would be better to take while studying for the MCAT. I know physiology would be more relevant to the MCAT, but I've heard that computational biology is less time-consuming and an easier A, which would give me more time to focus on studying. Has anyone taken either of these classes or have any insight into which one would be the better option? I'd really appreciate any advice!

I am looking at applying for a year abroad at The Uni of Texas at Austin from the UK, but my main concern is the racism at the university. I am of black heritage and I am used to having few black people in my classes, so this isn't my main concern. My main worry is actually experiencing overt racism to the point where it would be unsafe. For example, would going out in Austin late at night be particularly dangerous for a black student?

From the perspective of just being an international student, are american students at UTAustin quite welcoming to international students? I am a social person and I usually do not struggle making friends.

I have tried to research online, but I am worried that platform like TikTok have bots/trolls who over exaggerate extreme views so I was hoping to get some opinions from existing students/people who have heard personal experiences.

Thank you!

is there a place to look for old costume props that people dont want to use anymore? Im lowkey broke but want to wear a cute halloween costume this year.

I’m just looking for an excuse to show up wearing a costume and to take photos I literally have 4-5 costumes I would love to wear but I’m kind of a loner it’s my first semester.. anything fun orgs/clubs are doing that doesn’t necessarily have to be a party (though I wouldn’t mind if it was but it would be a little difficult for me since I’m an introvert whose awkward but I feel like if the event is doing an actual activity then it would probably be less difficult for me to talk to others)

Any upcoming internal transfer meetup/events for trying to transfer to comp sci or like any mentoring events?

somebody commented this on a post today, and it got me thinking!!

does anyone who's taken Straumanis know how many quizzes get dropped total? i know the syllabus says 2, but i've been hearing some people say that he drops more than that
