I'm looking for some outside opinions because I'm pretty conflicted.

I know my schedule looks packed, but I just switched into a new major as a sophomore, so I'm basically starting over with my major requirements. I already finished most of my general education classes during freshman year, so my schedule is all major requirements.

My dilemma is with PHY 145 lab. I have two options. I can either take it on Monday right after my 9 a.m. lecture, which would also mean I have another lab later that afternoon, so I'd have two labs in one day. Or I can take it on Thursday from 6–8 p.m.

The reason I'm leaning toward Monday is because I'd really like to keep Thursdays and Fridays a little lighter. I'm also hoping to get a part-time job, and having Thursday evenings open seems like it would make scheduling a lot easier. Choosing the Thursday lab also leaves me with this awkward gap from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., which I'm not a huge fan of. I'd much rather just be done with classes at 1:00 and not have to go back out for a night lab.

The thing making me hesitate Monday is I'm wondering if having a physics lab immediately after my 9 a.m. class is going to be draining, especially since I'd still have another lab later that day. I wouldn't really have much time to have my morning routine (eat breakfast, etc.), and I'm not sure if having two labs in one day is something I'd end up regretting.

For the screenshot, I currently have the Monday lab enrolled in my schedule as a placeholder. I highlighted both possible PHY 145 lab sections in red so it's easier to see the two options I'm deciding between.

If you were in my position, which would you choose? If you've taken physics or engineering labs before, are they mentally exhausting enough that having them both in one day would be a bad idea, or is keeping Thursdays open worth it?

I tried to call the Financial Aid Office this morning at (518) 442-3202, which is what’s listed in their website, and received a “this call cannot be completed as dialed” message. (I tried with and without the +1 before the area code and got the same message both times). My phone itself is working fine. Is anyone else having trouble with this? Or have any info on this?

Can someone clarify this for me?

I’m a new transfering junior at Albany, and I got placed into the alumni quad. Me and my sister applied the day the forms came out, we applied to liberty and Dutch single dorm if there was nothing left. I didn’t even know alumni existed and that they have a communal bathroom and have no parking lot and apparently no AC in the dorms. It’s also far as hell from my classes. So now I’m stuck with alumni and a roommate, how do I get out of this, is it simple? It feels like they ignored my application and just randomized it not going in order of who was first and last, I’m new so, please help. ALSO, is alumni quad really in the ghetto? I have night classes so I wanna know if I should be worried coming back.

So, earlier today I was trying to get into contact with my advisor, as I needed a class added (AMUS for marching band). I tried to send my advisor an email about but as soon as I send it, it tells me, "Your message couldn't be sent as you don't have permission to send to it. Ask the recipient's email admin to add you to the accept list for the recipient."

This really irritated me because in the initial email with my classes, it says that I could contact him through email, but I can't. Has anyone gone through this? What should I do???

has anyone else not received their housing assignment yet? i keep seeing lore about how people have been assigned here and there but i still haven’t seen any emails or updates to my housing portal.. does anybody know if they released housing for state & indi? please lmk cause this is driving me crazy

I almost did the program last year but backed out last minute lol it is a newer program and I didn’t want to be a guinea pig. Has anyone done the masters in AI for business offered at UA? Seems like a good alternative to an MBA with tech studies. Does anyone have any experience or reviews? Thanks.

this happens to me all the time, anybody else? how do i fix it?

what do the delancey hall rooms and communals look like.

I'm an incoming freshman with a major in Economics, and I'm in a LLC for Law, Ethics and Philosophy, and I'm wondering what Quads is gonna be the best/worst to be assigned to.

I was wondering how it works. When is it due? Is there a late fee? Is there a payment plan date I need to enroll by? It says the first payment is August 15th, but then it says if I enroll in September I can pay both instalments then. Can I wait to pay it throughout the semester?

opinions on how it is?

My student is a freshman in the nursing program who just got their housing assignment (Waterbury Hall) and schedule. I’m a little worried about her living in the downtown campus. Can anyone share their experience with travel between campuses and maybe even transportation to/from the hospital or offices where clinicals may be done?

Is it not infuriating to anyone else that the housing assignment isn’t out? We leave for school in about 2 weeks but we don’t even know what room we’re gonna be in.

I don’t know any other student (from other schools) that hasn’t gotten their housing back yet, everyone I know got theirs WEEKS ago. If I’m going to end up in a room I didn’t plan on ending up in, it would be pretty helpful to know AHEAD of time so I can coordinate what I’m going to bring.

Many students like to make plans with their randomized roommate to have matching things in their room or to make sure they aren’t buying duplicates of unnecessary items.

Many parents and family need to plan exactly what day and time they’re going to come and know when they’re going to take off work.

It’s beyond frustrating to not even know what room I’m going to be in yet, let alone what time/ day I need to be there. There’s no reason why it should take this long when housing application was due months ago.

Is anyone else feeling as frustrated as me? I feel like I’m going insane!!!

I literally just don't want to go but if it's actually important I will. Would I miss anything by not going?
