Hi everyone! The Grad Music Collective, formed last year, is back for our second year as UChicago’s only graduate student focused music collective. We focus primarily on vocal music of all styles including choral, international, a cappella, and theater. We are also open to instrumentalists! We provide a space for grad students from across schools to find a creative outlet through music and perform at divisional events as well as hold a bi-annual concert. We are currently auditioning for the fall of 2026! Please see the attached flyer for details and sign up for an informal audition date on October 21 or 22nd. Link will be in the comments! Sign up by October 18th, and please feel free to comment with questions and encourage your friends to sign up!

It has been a phenomenal way for us all to make friends in other divisions and look beyond our own bubbles.

No experience is required and we welcome musicians from all musical traditions!

What's going to happen with UChicago affiliation with Endeavor health with the new merge UChicago/Endeavor?

What's going to happen with interns/residents/fellows?

I’m so disgusted by this video. The woman is pursuing the suspect of the assault and the guy behind the camera is laughing. What’s so funny?

I saw it in the Grubhub app, but haven't been down there yet. Is it worth it? I saw it has a mix of regular and new things. Is it any better than in Hutch?

Hi guys. So, because of the way my gut is built, I can’t have caffeine. Despite this, I love hitting up the cafes, so I’m wondering if any have decent lemonade options. I love the strawberry lemonade at Plein Air but obviously can’t hit that up everyday … just wondering if anyone has any on campus recs.

There's a package for someone called Luca in my building. Its a fedex box shipped from "Ceva CLS".

This package has been here for 2 weeks now. If this is someone you know, feel free to DM me.

Hi guys, can anyone please lmk what is the grade boundaries (for example A for 98%, B is for 90%) and how will the final grades be calculated?

For example, 30% group project 20% final exam

Thank you so much!

• Saturday night (technically 2 a.m. Sunday)
• 21 yo female victim
• alleged assault occurred at the house of the Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity
• suspect is a 5-foot-7-inch South Asian male with dark complexion, short hair on the sides and longer curly hair on top, wearing a black t-shirt, black jogging pants and white shoes

I’m a man with shoulder-length hair looking to get a haircut. I know some barbers are more comfortable with shorter hair, so I’m curious if anyone has recommendations for me.

Has anyone in MPCS actually gotten CPT approved for a summer internship? I'm a first-year (F-1, started Fall 2026), applying for Summer 2027.
If you have, I'd love to know:
Did Autumn + Winter + Spring count as the "one academic year" requirement?
Which course did you register for, and did it cost extra tuition?
How long did OIA approval take?
Thanks!

Anyone have notes for Hodges lectures? Or is there a group chat anywhere

I know the odyssey scholarship covers USHIP, but does anyone know if I would still receive my refund every quarter if I opt in? Or is that refund just the money that would have been used to cover the insurance?

Hi, there, friends! Last night, this very friendly and hungry little boy was found in the alley behind my apartment building at 53rd and Drexel. He is unchipped. Any chance you know his humans?

Hi all!

I have gotten commited to uchicago through SSEN(so excited!!) and my main goal is to break into quant trading(i also genuinely find this interesting btw, not just for the money(i mean some part of it is that obviously but its a mixture) ). I really don't want to do pure math major so I'm wondering what should i study to break into quant trading.

I'm currently considering:

1)caam: pros: Most ideal for quant trading from what I've researched so far, kind of combines all of cs, math, and stats into one. cons: I don't feel like there are that many backup options with this major if i don't break into quant trading? I could do caam+econ for backups, but I really don't want to go into investment banking/consulting even if monetary compensation is similar as that is just something that doesn't interest me.

2)caam+cs: pros: This is also perfect for quant trading, but with cs backup opportunities like swe. cons: Probably a lot of overlap that is redundant, Uchicago recommends on their website to not do a double major in caam with cs or stats.

3)CS+Stats: pros: I think this is still decently optimal for quant trading, with crazy good backup options. Cons: I feel like this combination might prepare me for quant trading a bit worse and hurt recruiting a bit, but maybe I can supplement the learning part by taking a few math classes I'm missing in quant trading prep as electives, idk??

Additionally, what should I study between now and before I start college to get more prepared?

Any advice is appreciated, please don't clown on me ; I'm just a pre-frosh whose interested in quant trading and trying to figure out what to study in college!

I'm currently living off campus and bringing my own food to campus every day. I know of quite a few places with microwaves, but I was wondering if there are any refrigerators on campus where I could store my food to keep it fresh throughout the day. I know there's one at Crerar but it's a bit far from my classrooms. Are there any other options available?

my boxes came back fine through storage scholars last month but nos that I've actually looked at what a summer of sitting in a warehouse cost me, I'm second guessing it for next year. the uhaul plus a monthly unit route sounds way cheaper if you can move everything yourself. did anyone here do it that way instead, and was it worth the hassle or is the door to door pickup the thing worth paying for

I'm a master's student here. There's a lab on campus I'd really like to work with, so I reached out to the PI about being an RA. They don't have any openings right now, but they invited me to sit in on their lab meetings. I've worked with PhD students on research projects before, and I'd love to do more than just listen in.

Besides going to the meetings, what else can I do to actually get involved with the lab?

Thanks!

Hi all, I’m a first year and I was intending to do standard track Econ + History/Philosophy. Mostly looking to see how econ has affected our beliefs and behaviors intersect through history and how it can guide us towards the future. I, however, suck at calculus (test flexible/optional applicant go figure). I only got by in HS bc my teacher was an angel and very forgiving, probably let too much slide for me. I’m in 131 and am already struggling getting through the coursework, which cannot be a good sign for the rest of required calc for my 4 years. I’ve loved my PhilPer and Writ101 classes and think they’re the perfect amount of challenging but intuitive, same with my Micro class. I’m considering walking away from calc altogether and pursuing a more Hum centered undergrad: Philosophy, History, English, Econ Pub Policy maybe?, LLSO? I also am considering bizzcon because I am deeply interested in entrepreneurship, but obviously there are more academically fulfilling degrees out there.I feel worried I’m cheating myself of a world class Econ degree by just giving up on calculus, but I genuinely do no think I can get through deep level Calculus. I’m insecure about this because I know the stigma about test optional applicants and I wish I could prove that wrong but I just don’t feel ready to take on Calculus at the level the university demands. Am I going in the wrong direction? Can I still get recruited by walk street (I’ve been thinking about the ethical implications of this a lot too)? I obviously will be applying to Law School. Does anyone relate? Can I get some advice? Am I crazy?

I’m a research assistant at UChicago, but attend a different university. It would’ve been useful to have a quicker access to enter the libraries, especially during the later hours. I do a lot of database collection.

I do know that I can still enter the libraries, I just need a visitors pass now (a bit annoying).

i was just accepted for class of 2031 and was curious about the language requirement. do most students have to take language classes at uchi or will i be in the minority?

i’ve taken 4 years of spanish in HS (currently in ap spanish), but wasn’t planning on spending $100 on the ap test considering i would need a 5 for it to be worth it, and it doesn’t seem likely for me (my teacher died soph year so i had a whole year of subs and basically am a year behind).

also, i’m not really sure that i would want to do spanish classes in college just bc of some of the bad feelings related to my HS experience (i was really close with my maestra). i think it would be really cool to take latin or maybe german (i have a german aunt i try to stay close with), but i don’t want to start over and be totally behind if nobody else is :( thoughts?

Tim Pool is an embarrassing stain who has accepted foreign money to the detriment of our Democratic process. He is a disingenuous provocateur and bad actor. He has built his business and his lifestyle around lies, deflection and hate.

Choose not to acknowledge him. The best option is to ignore him, to stay away, and do NOT get sucked in. The second best option is to email admin to let them know how you feel about him being allowed to be on campus.

Keep him away. Keep all his ilk away. Let him bring a megaphone to Grant Park, but do not choose to invite him in like the vampire he is.

That is a job for medical professionals like the ones that will be at Wellapalooza today from noon to 3pm.
