Alan Holzman seems like a dope guy but after you get accepted is it competitive? Is it like other classical programs where people have these egos? Is there more of a community feeling? What are the other music majors like?

Discussion dobie demolition out of nowhere??
I guess this university just wants me to be homeless cos theyre gonna kick us out of dobie and force us to pay for the expensive dorms including the brand new one :-::: idc if y'all say dobie was in bad shape my room was PERFECT and im gonna miss her <//3 maybe i wouldn't be so mad if they told us AHEAD of time like before people put down a deposit, even if they refund it like when youre low income that shit really matters. i'm just really upset that they handled this so poorly

Question I q dropped to below 12 hours my last fall and spring semester and didn’t lose my aid
Why is this? I am just confused as I’ve heard people’s financial aid have been adjusted in the past and mine didn’t for this year. I q dropped to below 12 hours both last fall and last spring.

Question Alumni: How did you find roommates for post-grad?
I will be moving out of state for my new grad job. As an alumni, how did you find other UT new grads or other people to room with? Are there certain apps? I am fine with living someone outside of UT, but I feel like it’s a bit safer than meeting someone online.

Question Has anyone taken CS378 Building AI Agents / CS378 Agentic Software Engineering, or the new version of M427J Diff Eq?
I'm considering taking Building AI Agents (CS 378) or Agentic Software Engineering (CS 378), but I think last semester was the first time either was offered, so I haven't been able to find much info about them.
If anyone has taken either class, would you recommend it? Were they actually interesting/useful, and how do they compare to other CS classes in terms of workload and difficulty?
Also, has anyone taken M427J since they got rid of the online exams? I'm wondering how manageable it is to do well now, especially compared to classes like physics, intro bio, or chem.

Question Coffin's French Revolution/Napoleon (HIS 353)
Basically the title: Does anyone have any experience taking this class with Judith Coffin? It seems incredibly interesting and the professor seems absolutely amazing; the structure of the course and the grading details are just scaring me a tinge...
Any other recommendations for a cool history class (for my degree, it must be a European History course) would be awesome as well!
Thank y'all so much for your help!!! :)

Question Thoughts on my Spring Schedule
I am planning to take the following classes as a math major: M427J H, M341 H, M378K, M328K, and Dean’s seminar(assuming I get Dean’s for internal CNS transfer app)
I am currently taking the following classes as a freshman: M427L H, M325K, M362K, and UGS.
I currently have an A in all my classes, and the workload is very manageable.

Question Freshman Undeclared CLA applying to School of Economics or McCombs. What are my chances to getting accepted
I’m an undeclared CLA freshman that was not accepted directly to McCombs nor the Economics Dept.
Currently taking Macro Econ and Calc 1 and then Micro and Calc 2 in the spring. To hopefully apply for internal transfer as a sophomore
I’m nervous I might not get accepted to either major (seems like GPA is all they look at, and Cal 1 and Cal 2 are challenging courses that business majors don’t even have to take) Problem is I already have enough AP credits and basics that by sophomore year I would need to start taking intro courses within these majors to stay in the 4 year plan to graduate. So if I don’t get in,I’m screwed, and I’m not really interested in a Sociology Major or the like.
Do you guys have any advice on how to improve my chances for internal transfer besides high GPA. Particular people or advisers to talk to , specific professors/classes to take, organizations to join, any advice would really help. Specifically if you guys had success transferring. Recommendations, etc. thank you

Hello everyone, my advisor informed me that I have a chance of testing out of RHE306 if I take the TSI essay and pass it. I was wondering if anyone had input on good study materials or how the test was like? I wanted to know if it was even common to pass this exam with a 7 or 8? Any input would be great!

Question Advice on Minor Selection
I was looking into the minors available and I have got it down to a few, however you can only minor in 1 thing. I got it down to either Buisness Foundations or Semiconductors. I am a freshman in ECE btw. Anyone who has minored or is currently minroing in these things if you could please share your thoughts it would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking of doing buisness orignally because it makes me more well rounded but I have heard it isn't worth it from some people so I wanted to ask for input from anyone who has taken one of these 3 minors
EDIT: I noticed the semi conductor minor has a lot of overlap with some of my required courses like ECE 411 and ECE 316 which could be good to save time
