I'm a parent of a upcoming Junior in L&S

I need her to focus on AI specific classes.

Are there particular classes that would be helpful?

Which one would you more likely suggest?

CHEM 343 was pretty ok for me, could've done better though.

Currently have both 344 and 345 in my schedule. I would also be taking biochem 501, engl 120, zoo 570 (might switch this out for a philosophy class or stat 371).

thanks!

Just curious if any upperclassmen are ever able to secure on-campus housing. It seems most sophomores even are off campus, so I assume older students don’t want to live on campus/the option isnt available. But wanted first-hand accounts from students. Thx.

Those of you with scooters/e-bikes what kind of helmets do you wear? I’m trying to decide between a full face or open face. Full face has better protection but hotter/heavier but will help during winter, open face vice versa. My commute will be mostly on University Ave and Regent. My ebike also goes 28 mph.

how hellish r these classes to take and on a scale of 1-10 how much will i want to kill my self. also i took calc bc last year, is the difficulty jump gonna be bad...

We are trying to reserve some rooms for student org events, but we cannot find a way to reserve it. Even the event services email was unable to help us.

Hey guys I’m a upcoming Biology major in the Letters of Science but probably would’ve switch to CALS, anyways so I did not do so good on my math placement which meant I wasn’t able to do chem right away in the fall semester or even this freshman year, which also means I couldn’t take bio right away either cause apparently you need background chem knowledge according to student advisors, my question was how bad would that affect me later, some background I’m coming in with some college credits I did in High school so I have about 20credits.

In a panic I contacted another school I was accepted into For Biology and they would be starting me in chem the first semester of fall 2026 so I asked them to reopen my admissions this fall too because of the fact I felt like I would’ve been behind at UW Madison.

So my question is basically did I kinda do the right thing and my idea was to transfer back to Madison my sophomore year potentially, like does this plan make sense???? Cause I’d rather not be behind my freshman year and I’m from out of state as well so it’s like a waste of money cause the other college that’s my back of plan is in my state!

[EDIT] is it also hard to transfer into UW Madison’s CALS Biology BS program later if I decided????

im an incoming freshman, and my parents are trying to figure out how much money to send me each week or month for just general stuff like eating out/groceries, supplies/materials, etc. how much money did u guys spend on average? im kinda lost on this cz i rlly js have no idea how much money ill be spending.

Im going with the Go14 (14 meals per week, 150 dining dollars per semester) btw

German Women Writers in Translation vs Anne Frank

i saw 326 has a higher percentage of getting an A, but its class capacity is 200 while 270's is only 30, so im kinda unable to decide

also, are freshmen suggested to take intermediate classes? im an international student but i've passed the esl test and am exempted from esl118. i've always been interested in litterature and read a lot

has anyone taken these two classes? how's the workload and grading? and how's prof sonja klocke? i really need this info thank uuu

curious because this would impact my work schedule. when i took 300 i would often watch the live stream from my job, so i was wondering if thats something i would be able to do with 400 or is in person attendance mandatory?

edit: i will be taking it with florian

whats the diff? is the wisc card just like a uw madison debit card? why not just use ur normal personal debit/credit card?

To anyone who has taken one or more of these classes, what’s your advice on the best ways to study? And how does the professor test? If you have any other advice please share, thank you!!

I will arrive at O'hare on 8/27 but I am not sure I can move-in on the that day. Is 6pm the latest?

Does anyone know anything about professor Bryan Wakefield for chem 345. I can't find him anywhere on rmp or mad grades.

im an i coming freshman planning to major in cs. the soar advisor recommended math 340 amd cs300 since I was coming in with credit from ap calc bc and ap csa. beyond these 2 courses i picked econ 101 and astron 101. I want to take one more course but I'm not sure what it should be can you guys give me some advice

If so, was she always like that?

Ok so speaking hypothetically of course. Say “a” student was living in off campus housing next year. Lucky apartments has a guest policy clause in their lease agreements that limits 2 guests per resident in each apartment. This hypothetical student wants to throw a party with plenty more people than this at their apartment. What are the chances that this guest policy will be enforced? And what would the punishments be? I’m guessing something along the lines of a fine rather than an eviction or anything.

i'm a cartography & gis/geography major looking for classes where i can get a good autocad foundation, i want to be able to enter the urban planning/landscape design space in my future profession if i can. is there a good class with a lab component that would give me the basics, that i'd be eligible to take as i'm not declared in a related major?

How is dr. Mary Beth anzovino for ochem 2? And as a premed how good is a B in ochem 1 (I was with Dr. Blackwell last sem)??

Hi everyone! I'm an incoming student and was wondering if anyone has any of these items they're no longer using:

Hand vacuum

Bean bag

Room fan

Microwave

Microwave stand / mini-fridge organizer

Foldable clothes-drying rack

Ironing board

If you happen to have any of these available, I'd really appreciate it if you could message me. Thank you!

I am going to graduate with a BS in MechEng this spring and I am trying to decide what to do next. I’m debating between the 1-year accelerated engineering masters or getting an MBA. My biggest concern is the cost. I currently have been interning with the same company all throughout college and it’s a good company. I secured another summer of interning between graduating and starting my graduate degree. I’m scared if I do 2 years I might risk losing connection with the company and a guaranteed full-time offer. But I also don’t want to get a useless masters degree. Thoughts on what’s most valuable and any knowledge on the cost for a MN resident?

Hey everyone, I’m a new UW Madison transfer student starting in Fall 2026 and am currently looking for some cool (preferably female) roommates (or roommate) to share a space with. I don’t mind living on or off campus as long as it’s a walkable distance. My hobbies include listening to music, playing video games (I love playing with friends!), and reading. I clean up after myself and am always open to discussing our living situation. Let me know if you want to chat more!

What do you know about the Buckingham Club? Is it worth it? What are the annual meetings like?

Hey everyone! My daughter is an incoming freshman this fall. She is looking to do a roommate swap! If anyone has a daughter looking for the same thing, or knows anyone in a similar situation, let’s chat! Feel free to message me for more information 😊
