Welcome new Mavs!

127 Upvotes

Welcome to all the new Mavs that are finding their way to this Reddit! I want to welcome yall to Fall 2025. This Reddit has everything going on around campus, from Microwave sightings to advice, to critiques, to even plantain recipes. From time to time, I might post more "official" type stuff, but that is generally just informational. Anything pressing will come out through the "Mav Alert" system.

If you need anything from the University Police Department, our numbers are:

  • Emergency: 817-272-3003 (or 9-11, you will get directed to us)
  • Non-Emergency 817-272-3381

Program these numbers in your phone!

We also have an anonymous reporting system: https://www.uta.edu/campus-ops/police/contact-us/silent-witness

You can also message me directly here with any issues or questions. I am the Police Department liaison to the CARE team, and I can assist you with CARE inquiries as well.

You folks are our eyes and ears out there. Remember, "If you see something, say something".

Good luck everyone, and have a great and safe semester. Lemme know if you need anything.

(PS: I have nothing to do with parking, so throw those rocks the other way 😁)

Discussion I should've walked away

37 Upvotes

Today was my first time ever actually giving attention to the likes of the man who came onto campus today, in front of the library. Usually I ignore it, but my heart told me that I have to speak up and defend my religion as best as I could. But , he got what he wanted. He made me emotional, he made me break, and he made me walk away.

If I could go back, and prevent myself from joining in that moment I definitely would. But I can't , so the best thing I can do is learn and tell myself that this is and was the first and last time I'll ever engage in something like that.

I'm not ashamed to stand up for my beliefs, I was ashamed that I probably made a fool of myself. But everything happens for a reason. I got weak, I cried in a stall on the phone to my friend about the entire thing.

But what really stuck with me is the girl next to me who is a firm Christian believer, she got upset, and she said to never let anyone make me feel as inferior or hurt as I did today once it comes to my faith and beliefs. She said that she senses my heart and pure and I care. And that just made me cry more. I really appreciate her.

So moral of the story, I need to just ignore those type of people. Because there's always going to be hate in the world. And I'm just beginning at uta. I can't start off with this nonsense.

Thank you to the girl from the restroom

Thank you to the boy who told me to vote to prevent this from happening again

Thank you to the girl who told me he's not worth it.

Rage bait the Rage Baiters

If those ragebaiters come back tomorrow, and they are indeed filming to post online (YouTube etc.) remember to play some Disney songs while they’re recording. Make that footage unusable and make sure they are doing nothing but wasting their precious time being hateful. 😊

Bachelors Graduation Regalia

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I was trying to see if anyone has a bachelors graduation robe I can borrow? Preferably to fit 5’6” and 150lbs-175lbs but I’m open to borrowing anything.

If anyone has advice on how to obtain one cheaper than the bookstore that would be nice too.

Thank you 🙏

Idk if this is the right place to ask

15 Upvotes

So I’m wanting to try to see if I can dorm with someone or pay a bit of rent to live on campus until the semesters over. There’s only like five weeks left of the semester?
My step dad was abusive towards me and me and my mom are trying to get me in a situation where I can live on campus for the time being.
Willing to pay however much just for the remaining five or so weeks of the semester.

So there seems to be a gathering of the intellectual elites of campus and they are debating the greatest of all campus questions: Chic-Fil-A or Raising Canes! Or could just be hate speech being confronted! Oh well, at least Panda Express is still open!
