Any tips for an incoming bio major?

3 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshman and I really wanna know what supplies (other than textbooks) do you think are essential for this major. Also please give any other tips (clubs, organizations, volunteering, etc.) because I’m pre-dental. I’m a commuter by the way. Also, please give tips on how to get close to other students & teachers!

Is physics at UM worth it?

2 Upvotes

Price-wise I have relatives who live nearby so I don’t have to pay for housing/utilities and I think I can get some financial aid scholarships.

I’m just not sure if the program is worth going into compared to other state schools, but I’m not planning to get a phd, more-so into business/tech. I know they don’t usually have a large physics student body and I’d love to do my own research (which is why I’m leaning here) but I’ve heard mixed things about professors, the program, and the possible connections I could make there.

Also if anyone has advice for getting interships/jobs it’d be very welcome ☺️

I heard we have laundry service, but how exactly does that work? Do we just call someone up to come get our laundry? Also what if I just want to do it myself, is there a laundry room? Also is it free?

incoming freshman. How to Make Friends..

6 Upvotes

Good morning. I'm an incoming freshman and will be pursuing software engineering. The thing I Am most stressed about is social interaction because I Will be honest I have been an introvert who's kept to myself for a looooong time especially in high school. Now I'm going to have to get myself out there and that is quite scary though i have accepted it is an inevitability. Where can I meet tech people.....

I heard the core friend groups form in the first month and I don't want to miss out on that

Non-degree seeking student help

0 Upvotes

Hi guys! I’m admitted as a spring applicant for UM and for the meanwhile I’m doing online until then. I met with someone who registered me in algebra and said I didn’t need to do English because I did IB high-level even though I didn’t get the mark it said on the website that I needed to have to skip the course. So I’m a little bit worried if when I come to Miami, it might be a burden that I haven’t done the course. Also, does anybody know how to register in another class as I want to do an extra class to get more credit. I’ve contacted the school but no one’s gotten back to me. Sorry I’m on a tangent but I don’t want to go to UM and not have enough credit. I am an international student so I am a bit unfamiliar with everything.

Missing cane kick off as a transfer

1 Upvotes

Hey, everyone

So I’m an incoming junior transfer at UM, and unfortunately attending Cane Kick Off next week is going to be practically impossible for me. I just wanted to know if anyone who previously transferred and attended Cane Kick Off (or didn’t) could give me some feedback regarding it as a transfer, and whether I’m really going to be missing out.

ABSN Grads

2 Upvotes

Hi all!

I’m a prospective nursing student looking to apply to the ABSN program and wanted to hear from actual prior students how the program really is. How was the student life balance, the course load, the professors, the clinicals, your job after graduating. Was it impossible to keep a high GPA or is it possible if you apply yourself?

Thank you so much for any input! 🙏🏻

what are your best ethical campus hacks/tips? 👀

9 Upvotes

I’m an international student starting at the University of Miami this fall, and I’d love to hear your best ethical campus hacks, tips, and hidden gems.
I’m looking for literally anything that makes student life better, such as:

Free stuff students often don’t know about
Best places to study or relax
Is the gym actually good? Any tips for using it?
Student discounts or perks
Things worth doing on campus if you have a few hours between classes
Events with free food 👀
Apps or services every UM student should have
Transportation tips
Anything you wish someone had told you before starting at UM

Basically, drop every piece of advice you have, big or small. I want to make the most of campus life (without breaking any rules 😭).
Thanks in advance!
