Hi all! Genuinely where are students supposed to go when we’re in between leases? I have to move out on July 31st but I can’t move into my next place until August 18th. I previously had an arrangement with a friend, but that fell through *just today* as they no longer have the space and now my partner and I may not have a place to go at all for those in between days. I previously asked some other friends who are in the same situation but they have homes to go back to in other towns while my partner and I just have each other and our current apartment.

Does anyone have a couch we can crash on? Any extra rooms or space for these days? Any advice for where we might be able to go is greatly appreciated, I’m feeling more and more desperate as we get closer to the move out date :’)))))

I’ve also looked on fb marketplace for subleases but no one ever has availability for this specific time period, and we can’t afford to stay at an AirBnb because us needing to move was already unexpected and we are both just college students working to pay our own bills.

We both have jobs and we won’t rot in your apartment, also we are excellent chefs and bakers and are happy to cook meals in return for a roof over our heads and we will also pay for staying with you. We don’t have any pets and don’t smoke but we love animals and will get pets in our future home <3

Sincerely looking for a place to stay so our next expense doesn’t have to be for sleeping bags and camp stuff from Dick’s Sporting Goods for us to snuggle up in an obscure lot and to use a gym membership for showers :’))))

Hi guys,
My wife has to take our two kids to Indianapolis for an appointment this Friday, and I think I'll be teaching that day. Does anyone know if it's easy to get an Uber from Champaign to Indianapolis? Unfortunately, the buses arrive after the appointment time, so that's not an option for us.
Thanks!

Just stopped in to get a new tube and it seemed to be totally gone from the space next to BrewLab. Anyone know if they're closed for good? Bummer if so, they were my fav bike shop in town and great location right on campus.

Hi everyone, I am planning on applying to uiuc next year as a in-state community college student. I plan on apply as a psychology major, I currently have a 3.8 gpa but I have a concern about withdrawals. Last year I had to drop from 4 of my classes due to family health reasons concerning my mother, I am a little nervous bc a majority of those courses were math related. I was wondering if those withdrawals would be a deal breaker at uiuc or do I still have a chance of transferring in? If it makes it better the courses I dropped were not related to any of the suggested/required courses in the transfer handbook and I ended up taking one of the previously dropped courses again and receiving an A in the class.

Desk $70
Dresser $30

I’m the parent of an incoming freshman. We were told we would get information about a roommate at the end of June, but still nothing.

For those of you who have been around a while, does this seem unusual? Something we ought to be worried about? Should we contact the housing office or just sit tight for a few more weeks?

Thanks!

Edit: “info” not indo

Edit2: RESOLVED! Thanks Reddit!

then please give your seat to me i've been trying for a month to get a seat but couldn't 😭😭😭😭😭

Hi, I’m graduating and moving out. Things need to go by July 31st. Selling the following -

Wooden shelf cabinet - $35 (bought in January this year

Walmart Drying Rack - $15 (unused, bought in January)

Duvets and Couch Throw - $15 (barely used and washed)

Pickup at 309 East Green St, Champaign

For context, I am an incoming freshman, and I want to take an earlier math slot (days are mon, wed, fri), but the only available Professor during that time is Erdogen. I looked on ratemyproffessor and people liked him (4.5 rating) but his exams and homework were hard.

I wanted to ask if his exams are really that bad, and how hard it was to get an A, especially compared to Dunfield, who I heard was a great teacher. I am asking this because there is a slot open at 2pm for him, hence my other choice. I also want to know if is it hard to stay motivated and go to these classes this late!

I am okay with a harder teacher, as I have had that in the past for caclulus, but i am also willing to take a later class if a teacher is much better!

I'll likely have my EMT certification by August, and I'm starting to look for healthcare jobs on campus.

I know working as an EMT is one option, but I'm sure there are other jobs where an EMT certification is useful or qualifies you for the position. What kinds of jobs have you been able to get with your EMT certification besides working on an ambulance?

Where do you usually find these jobs? I've checked the usual job sites, but are there better places to look?

Selling a few items:

a) 138-in-1 Precision Screwdriver Set, brand new: $15

b) SIHOO Ergonomic Office Chair, used ,like new: $120 (Bought at $180 from Amazon)

c) Portronics Toad Ergo wireless mouse, used, Like new: $20 (Mouse link)

d) Keyboard + mouse combo, brand new: $15

e) MTB Bike/ cycle (Mongoos), used: $100

Take everything for $250, OBO

Pickup near UIUC. DM if interested.

Do the academic advisors check their emails during the summer or what!!??

During registration I signed up for calc I and a merit program because I didn’t know what I got for my ap test. Before my ap results even came out I got an email from the merit program (leader? Person) telling me that the merit class I signed up for got closed because of low numbers and she told me that I had to change my merit class to a different one. I emailed my advisors to make this change and in addition to change to calc 2 but I haven’t gotten a response in like 3 weeks.

I’m lowkey stressing because school is starting in less than a month and my schedule is all messed up and not organized at all and I’m worried that I won’t be able to take some of the classes I originally signed up for.

Should I send another email….. or just wait it out…???

I emailed the [email protected] from my school email btw idk if this matters

Hey! Where is the closest tire pump to the quad?

I know there’s some by dorm bike racks, and maybe one at the arc.

Anything closer? Thanks!

Pickup only, dm for price (prolly cheap n can be discussed)

more random stuffs to be updated..

I applied to work at the dining hall and today they emailed saying I have to attend an informational meeting between August 3 and 6. The problem is I won’t be moving in until Aug 17, so I physically can’t be there and they don’t allow virtual meetings.

Has anyone been in this situation before? Did they let you go to a make up session later on in the month? How strict are they when it comes to these kind of things? I’m planning to email them but I wanted to scope out the community for some advice before I did.

Cheers everyone

hi guys, i’m an incoming freshman and i want to add this class to my schedule but i’ve found barely anything online about it from students.

if u have taken it, i have some questions about it

is it a heavy workload? how easy is it to get an A? I know there are 2 papers worth 40% of your total grade….how harsh is the professor with grading these? how important is it to do the readings? how difficult is the final?

anything u could tell me about the class would be very very helpful!! thanks sm :)

Hey everyone!
I'm looking to buy a used car (ideally a compact SUV or crossover with AWD/4WD to handle the upcoming winter, but open to reliable sedans as well).
A few quick details on what I'm looking for:
Condition: Clean title, good mechanical condition, and up to date on maintenance.
Budget: Flexible for the right vehicle.
Location: Campus area / Champaign-Urbana (can meet up easily for a test drive / pre-purchase inspection).
If you’re graduating, moving away, or just looking to sell your car, please send me a DM with:
1. Make, model, year, and mileage
2. Asking price
3. A few photos and a brief maintenance history
Thanks in advance! 🚗

hi, this is a long shot here, but im coming from a triple room at scott hall and im looking for someone to potentially swap with!! all i ask is that im nonbinary (born female) so i would like someone who is gender inclusive (so preferably allen hall??) thx!!

I was just accepted off the WL at UIUC Law, and need to find housing. I'd like something where grad students live that's modern, clean, and safe. I will have a car, so I'm not worried about distance. Suggestions?

hi!! i’m an ad major graduating in 2027. i’ve been feeling a sense of impending doom for graduating, mainly because the job market sucks for advertising right now. i have a good amount of experience, and i didn’t even end up with an internship this summer despite applying to 100s of roles, networking, etc. i’m starting to become super stressed about the idea of being unemployed after college. i want to go into account management, which as i understand is a role that isn’t being as taken over by ai, but it is also a very saturated field. any advice on how to stand out in the job market? what types of jobs should i look for and how should i look for them? what salary should i expect as a new grad? any information would be super helpful. thanks!

I’m considering leasing an apartment at 305 E John and would appreciate hearing from current or previous tenants.

What were your monthly utility bills like, especially during the highest-usage months? The leasing office said it depends on usage, but I’d like to know the typical range and the maximum amount tenants have paid.

I also noticed that the bedroom doors do not have individual locks. Was that ever a safety or privacy concern?

Overall, how was your experience with the apartment, maintenance, management, noise, cleanliness, and security? Would you recommend living there?

Hello! I am in incoming freshman and was wondering, is shipping to my hall (Allen Hall) from Amazon possible, and is there anything specific I need to do to recieve my package?
