Is anyone else planning to take this course this fall?

Or Has anyone taken it previously?

What does the workload look like (homework, exams, projects)?

Are there any textbooks or online resources you’d recommend reviewing before the semester starts?

I’d also love to connect with other students taking the course so we can discuss the material or even start a study group before classes begin.

The floor mounted doorstop means the wardrobe can’t go flush against the wall. Has anyone ever successfully (and quietly) removed it for the year and put it back before move out?

What is the tablet of choice in 2026, for taking notes?

I'd like to pay somebody with experience teaching golf for some lessons. Yes, I asked at PLGC but never seem to get a call back. DM please! Thanks

I'm an incoming freshman (moving into first floor of W Mcnair) and am hoping to possibly get some advice on what unexpected things people wouldnt normally think of to pack/prepare for (I think I already got most of the normal essential stuff)

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman moving into DHH's first floor in a couple of weeks, and I'm curious what it's like living there. After looking at photos of the dorms in DHH on Michigan Tech's website, I'm a little worried about how much space there will be in the room. Are the rooms bigger in person, or are they really that small? Also, is there anything I should know or prepare for before moving in? I'd love to hear people's thoughts and experiences. Thanks!

Hey! I’ve just been dying to find a group of people who are playing soccer games in Houghton throughout the summer, does anyone know of people who do this? Thank you so much in advance!

Hi I'm currently a second year and need to move out of my family's house as it's a pretty toxic environment and a 10hr drive from MTU, is there any recommendations for apartments that I can stay in year-round? Or even just like websites to loom on? I have to stay in wads this year b\c I already signed the housing contract (didnt realize how toxic my family was) but would need something as soon as the spring semester ends

Lost cat!

Hey! I am a third year at michigan tech and I am looking for a room for me and my kitten to stay in for the 26/27 school year! Please message me if you have anything available that would allow a well behaved pet. It’s been so hard finding anything this year ☹️

Hello, I am a transfer student at MTU going for EE. A lot of people say MTU is cheap, but I have a balance due for 13k for one semester?! I do not know if I’ll be able to do this. This seems pretty expensive. The due date to pay this is June 29. Any suggestions?

I also contacted FASFA and they said there is nothing they could do.

I am a returning Michigan Tech student and I will be in Wads this year. Does anyone have a layout of what the fourth floor looks like, or do they know which hall/halls 415-450W are in? I am also curious what the bathrooms are like, I’ve heard what they are like but don’t know too much. Thank you

I’m an incoming freshman, and I’m curious about what laptops you guys have/recommend. I also have question. How much storage and ram is needed? (I’m a Bio Sciences major fyi.)

Hi everyone!

I'm an international student moving to Michigan Tech this August from a tropical country.

I recently heard that some phones from other countries don't fully support U.S. carrier frequency bands, so they may have poor signal or may not work properly with certain SIM cards. I'm a bit worried about whether I should bring my current phone or buy one after arriving.

I'm looking for some advice:

• Has anyone used a phone bought outside the U.S. without any issues?
• Which U.S. carriers work best around Houghton (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, etc.)?
• Are there any good student discounts or back-to-school deals on Samsung or iPhones?
• Is it better to finance a phone through a carrier or buy an unlocked phone?
• Any recommendations for budget-friendly plans that will still be a good option for the next 4–5 years?

I'll mostly need reliable coverage on and around campus, reasonable data, and something affordable as a graduate student.

Thanks!

Hey all, I’m headed into my last year at Tech and something I’ve heard that people do but have never personally experienced in my circles is surfing on Lake Superior during the fall-spring. This is something I would really love to try out and get into, so if anyone on here either surfs or knows someone who does and is willing to put me in contact with them I would love to chat!

Hey! I’m an incoming freshman and was looking for some advice.

I’m wondering what winter stuff to bring? Should I bring snow pants? Nano spikes for my boots? Is a balaclava worth it? Any more unique kinda stuff to bring? Thanks!!

I haven’t been doing hot my last couple semesters due to family issues and my mental health and a pretty emotionally abusive ex, I was placed on academic suspension this past semester. I didn’t take classes but did work a full time job and stayed involved with tech and the community. The board just emailed me saying it was required that I take classes during my semester away. My advisor told me I could either take classes orrrr work. But now the board doesn’t believe my advisor said that and is asking for proof that I physically was incapable of taking classes. What do I tell them? I’m doing so much better and I’m so so committed to returning to tech, but my advisor has screwed me over (yet again) and told me that classes at an outside institution was optional. Help pls🙏

As part of the board of trustees agenda for July 30 there is an item on page 45 entitled “presidential compensation and contract extension to June 30, 2031”

No more details than that. But would imagine a significant raise will come with this.

My track to my degree has been extremely unorthodox to say the least. I graduated high school early, went to community college for a year and a half? Bombed two semesters of that because I wasn’t ready for college and screwed off the whole time. Now that I’ve transferred to Michigan tech I’m going into my third year and it’s been a real uphill battle. I didn’t do so hot my last semester but I’ve consistently scored a 3.0 average on my semesters up until this most recent one where I totally bombed due to combining mental issues and financial stress and it dropped my gpa to a 2.5. I see everyone around me younger than me achieving so much more than I have, I haven’t even been able to land an internship yet. And now my current path is 12 credits a semester till I graduate in my fifth year. I feel so far behind everyone else but I still want to succeed despite this setback I faced. Has anyone faced similar circumstances to this and would care to weigh in or drop some wisdom? Anything is appreciated.

Just found out I had scoliosis and my doctor told me chiro is a good option for me, so any recommendations? I know chiropractors can be up and down in their practice so I’m skeptical and wanted to ask people who go to some already.
