Edit: Called and notified aggieworks! The nice lady was in disbelief when I told her about it!

Edit 2: got called by the maintenance guy as he couldn't find it, he didnt have the equipment to get it down safely as its 3-4 floors up once I showed him!

Academics How do I get into research as a sophomore

Upvotes

I'm a bio major and have no idea how to get into research at TAMU.

I know there are a lot of opportunities like URS, but it's only for students with 60+ credit hours, so I can't apply yet.

I've tried looking for professors to reach out to, but I'm having a hard time finding labs that align with what I want to do in the future. I'm totally open to joining a lab that's outside of my interests because I know research experience is valuable. At the same time, I feel a little guilty reaching out to professors if I'm not genuinely interested in their specific research. I don't want it to seem like I'm just using their lab as a stepping stone.

Would yall recommend taking the BIOL 291/491 course? How did yall get your first research position? Did you just email professors whose work seemed somewhat interesting, or is there a better way to find opportunities? Any advice would be appreciated!

Academics Joe Kahlig Math 251?

8 Upvotes

I recently made my schedule at NSC, and I chose Prof. Joe Kahlig for Calc III. However, about a week later, I noticed the teacher changed to “not assigned” and all of Kahlig’s other classes were changed to “not assigned” as well. Does anyone know if Kahlig is no longer teaching the course, or is it just a system error? Ty for help

Ask the Aggies Engineering Study Abroad in Spain or Ecuador? UC3M (Madrid) or USFQ (Quito)

2 Upvotes

I'm a rising junior in Computer Science with a minor in Hispanic Studies, so I think a study abroad to either of these places could be very useful to improve my Spanish, gain cultural competency, and get engineering credits. I plan to go in Spring 27 but I'm conflicted on which exchange I should participate in. I am familiar with both regions of the world from personal international trips however I have been to Europe often, I can speak Spanish decently well, and my plan would be to take 2 comp sci electives and 2 Spanish classes during the exchange. These are my thoughts on each place:

The benefits of Spain to me are a better engineering university, generally safer area, better infrastructure, and proximity to other European countries (I have friends in Italy and France I could visit easily). However, it will be more expensive, I will be tempted to speak English more, and there is some lack of classes about Latin American history/culture which is something I am interested in.

The benefits of Ecuador are growing my cultural perspective from an unfamiliar place, lower cost of living, staying with a host family, more Spanish immersion, and opportunities to learn about indigenous/Latin American culture and history. However, it is less safer with some recent political protests, a weaker engineering program globally, and possible lack of mobility or things to do being in the mountains (also I have a bad immune system so I could get sick easier due to lower temps).

Initially I was set on Ecuador but now I feel I've flipped to Spain. I think the culture immersion in Ecuador would be amazing but if I want to prioritize my education then Spain would be better. Not to say I would get no cultural immersion in Spain but Ecuadorian culture would be very new to me.

Any thoughts, comments, or concerns would be greatly appreciated !!!

Academics Incoming MXET sophomore looking for someone to answer some dumb questions 🙏

0 Upvotes

Howdy! 😊

I will be starting MXET this fall, and I’ve been curious about some of the courses, as there is not much information about MXET/ESET/MMET classes online. I just met with my advisor to register for my classes early so I really don’t want to badger them with another email 😭

Specifically, I was wondering if labs are still bi-weekly? MXET is very lab-heavy and I couldn’t find any answers online. I’m wondering because junior year is looking like it would be back-to-back 18-hour semesters with 4ish labs each.

Also, I wanted to go ahead and take MXET 250 to knock out a tech elec since it’s only available to take before 375 (and I swear I read somewhere it was strongly recommended to take). But I saw that the lab is at Sbisa? I’m very confused about that.

Feel free to leave a comment or send me a message if you want to chat or have any recommendations to get involved😁 I might have some more questions eventually.

New Student Questions Tuition Reveal

I’m an incoming freshman and I’ve done my own calculations and assume I’m going to get some refunds. This however has been done without any official final prices from TAMU. Anywhere I check howdy portal for how much I’m actually going to have to pay I keep getting estimates from them. Does anyone have any idea when we’re getting told our tuition prices and how much we’ll end up getting in refunds or how much we have to pay total?

Sports Fitness and Wellness Classes at TAMU/Muscle Gain Tips

1 Upvotes

Howdy all. I am interested in fitness and wellness classes and wanted to ask if anyone has taken the personal training or small group classes at TAMU before?

What was it like? Did you feel like you grew/gained muscle? Did they do different movements or trainings for each session/did each session advance every time? How did it compare to other fitness organizations that are not offered by rec sports?

Question for women:
If you have trained for muscle mass, how do you normally gain muscle, especially for upper body and arms? I know a lot of it is genetics. I am not looking to change something that can harm me/that goes against my genetics, but I'd rather gain muscle naturally in a way that I can be strong and not noodle armed lol. Essentially, toned. I am interested in weights, but not deadlifting. Just using dumbells, bench press, and/or calisthenics for muscle mass, but do you take supplements to help with muscle recovery? I do not take any synthetic supplements, but am wondering if anyone takes like collagen or protein and in what way? What has worked for you?

Also, I am not concerned with gaining muscle quickly/fast. I'd rather take the time and effort to do the workouts to increase muscle naturally, I am just wondering if it is beneficial to take some sort of supplements to help in achieving the muscle mass without injuring yourself from weights (besides doing the weights in the right form). Thanks!

I am hoping to receive some honest feedback before I consider purchasing a full package from rec sports and for gaining muscle mass for women.

Thank you!

Ask the Aggies Career/professional student orgs insights

0 Upvotes

Howdy!

Fall 2026 will be the beginning of my second year as an applied math major at tamu. My study emphasis is on statistics and I am currently considering grad school for data science to be my next step after my undergrad degree.

I have been involved with some student orgs my first year and I really do enjoy them. However, they are mostly interest based or hobby related orgs, which make me wonder if I should also apply for some orgs that are more related to careers or professional development. I am quite hesitant because they seem more like another burden than anything else for me. I do want some insights from those that are in those type of orgs, do you find them helpful? What do you guys mainly do (I understand it highly depends on the org itself)? Do you actually enjoy being there or I shouldn't really consider enjoyment since it's more like a learning opportunity?

I understand I should focus on looking for internships or research opportunities, but I am an international student and there are often nationality requirement on those things. Thus, I am looking at student orgs too.

Any suggestion is highly appreciated
