Rant/Vent Why doesn’t UW Madison clean it’s buildings’ windows?

22 Upvotes

Been here for a few years now, and I feel like they never clean the windows of most buildings.

It really kills the charm of the university.

You go into college library and can barely look out the window

Social COB Process

• Upvotes

Hi! I'm struggling to find more info about the cob process for sororities here. I submitted my COB interest form through panhellenic in mid-September and some of my friends put recommendations in for me at their chapters, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Is this normal? When can I expect a response? Are there any other steps I should take?

Badger Sports Hitting the Gym as a Trans Person

35 Upvotes

I am a trans girl and I really want to get fitter. Nick seems quite accessible, but I am a bit worried about locker rooms: I don't want to get uncomfortable or make anyone else feel weird either. Are there any lockers outside of the gendered locker rooms, just to drop your stuff off? There are single-stall bathrooms there and I don't mind changing there, but it would still be hard to do without a locker nearby...
Would also love to hear about other trans folks' experiences in UW's gyms, both in open rec and working with trainers. Thanks!!

Hey! I play in Bear Trap, a band here on campus and I’d like to avoid using AI for flyers and posters but my Canva skills are abysmal and I can’t even draw between the lines of coloring book. Would love some help figuring out where to contact art majors.

Other Park-and-Ride: How is it?

5 Upvotes

Hello! My current top college choice is UW-Madison and I've already applied for the fall 2027 semester. However, my two best friends plan to attend Madison Area Technical College and want me to room with them in an apartment. I really want to join them because, well, they're my best friends, but all of the places right near UW campus are either super expensive or have an income requirement that we just don't meet.

To those who've participated in the school's park-and-ride system: is it good? As a college freshman, would it be a good experience for me to commute via car to their lot and then take a shuttle the rest of the way? So far this seems like the most realistic option for my situation but I'm just a little worried. Thanks!

Housing Campus Village Pet Help

0 Upvotes

Hi so just this semester started living in campus village and me and my roommates want to foster a cat. only thing is CV does not allow that. does anyone know like a way around this or like what I could do. because we all really want one but just wanted to reach out here for some help.

Most fostering places on the applications ask for where you live so they can call them and check the policies.

I was thinking I have friends at both chapter and the lucky and both places allow pets, lucky is 50/month/cat and chapter is like much more expensive so we most likely will try lucky. but if anyone has tried this or knows someone who has done it any help would be appreciated.

Future Badger Quick day visit to UW

4 Upvotes

Looking for some advice from campus from a more current pov.

I am bringing my daughter and a couple of her friends for a visit on Thursday. I graduated in 2001, so campus is very different than what I remember.

One of her group is very set that Uw is not for her, but I think she is wrong. She’s thinking business school.

What are some can’t miss spots to tour? Unfortunately, the weather is not going to be great, so my plan of showing off the union won’t be as good as I was planning.

Favorite spot near campus to grab lunch?

Rant/Vent Stats 371 Homework

8 Upvotes

legit what the hell is up with the stats 371 curriculum??? it’s pretending it’s a 5 credit class i swear, this class is actually harder than chem 109. the homework takes like 4 hours minimum to do, AND all the questions aren’t even graded. they take like one sub-question from each problem and grades JUST that one. you could do the entire homework correctly and get the 3 graded ones wrong and get a 0% it’s legit more worth it to just not do the fucking homework. there’s so many problems and there’s problems within problems within problems, AND not graded properly. genuinely this has to be some kind of violation of grading because the way they grade it does NOT reflect my understanding of the material. one question out of 27 wrong could have an impact of 25% of the homework grade. this is actual fucking bullshit, i hate you professor bloss
