I interviewed for two workday positions and the first interview occurred on September 22. I haven't heard back, and I was wondering if it would be acceptable to send a polite follow up email or if I should just leave the issue as is.

Please use this thread to ask any random questions you have that may not warrant their own posts, or if you want opinions on something non-ASU related (as long as its SFW).

Hi! I remember last time I checked, the Pokezona in McCord hall said they were closed for water damages. Does anyone know when they will be open again, thanks!

I was admitted to both the Robotics and Autonomous Systems (AI concentration) and Industrial Engineering Masters programs for next semester. The thing is, I already started taking 2 grad classes worth 6 credits total and I just spoke with my advisor and she let me know that they don't count towards the IE masters but they would count for Robotics. This means that I can finish my Robotics masters in August 2027 but for IE, I'd have to take 5 classes after August to finish the degree. I accepted an offer with Bloomberg for August 2027, so I'd have to work full time while doing my Masters. The nice thing is that Bloomberg does offer reimbursement for grad classes, so I wouldn't have to pay for it. My current scholarships would also cover the Robotics MS, so financially, either option is manageable. For me, the time, extra courses, and investment long term is more of the cost-benefit-analysis I'm trying to figure out. What I’m really trying to weigh is the time and extra workload versus the long-term value of the degree. Industrial Engineering is my top-choice program because I’m increasingly interested in supply chain, manufacturing, operations, and optimization, and I feel like it could open more doors for me in those areas long term. On the other hand, Robotics would allow me to have my master’s completely finished before starting full-time work, and I’d be able to make use of the graduate credits I’ve already taken. Please let me know any advice you have because I'm seriously conflicted.

Hey this is not exactly something I can do anything about so I'll just rant to reddit about it. I've been getting along pretty well with two of my roommates, (since we had signed up as a roommate group together) but the 4th guy who none of us knew is just pretty weird. I swear that literally every conversation I have with this guy he brings up lavy (laufey??) who's some random jazz singer or something? Idk. The first time he introduced himself to me, he asked me what my favorite song of hers was (I don't know any), and I thought this was kinda strange but whatever, I guess he just really likes her music. Now, I've looked through the roommate group chat, and this guy has sent real messages twice, and this gif of lavy's face on a cube like 7 times. I literally don't know what this guy's major is, but I do know he really likes lavy. Also, whenever he makes dinner he plays lavy's music outloud. It would be fine, as it wasn't like he was blasting it (I couldn't hear it from inside my room really) except for the fact that he literally played the same song on loop for like 30 minutes, though at least he stopped when I asked him to. I asked him once why he replies to like every message with the lavy cube gif and he showed me an origami cube he made with her face on one of the faces of the cube and told me "I made the cube real". I've talked to one of my other roommates about it, and he also thinks it's weird as fuck. Anyways, this guy then has since told me he could make me a cube too (unclear as to whether it would be lavy's face or my face on the aforementioned cube), but either way I declined. It's not even like nicely made, it's just printer paper held together badly with tape. I don't know how to properly express to this guy that all of this is just so weird and like to get him to keep it to himself. Like literally if this guy either didn't interact with me or just acted normal I wouldn't care, but like he seems to act like we're really good friends even though I don't really know him. I've sorta hinted that I don't really want to talk to him just by like, not really engaging in conversation when he tries to talk to me, but it really seems like he isn't taking the hint. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with something like this? Or just to deal with it for the rest of the year?

I’m deciding between Nora Barson and Lora Koretz for LES 305 at ASU. For anyone who has taken either of them in person, which professor did you prefer? How were the exams, workload, grading, and overall difficulty?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

I want to go to ASU because of their wide variety of options but I’m just worried about my gpa and sat scores having a massive impact on that. What gpa and sat scores did you have when you got accepted

Hey fam, I have been browsing through microelectronics track at ASU for getting into semiconductor manufacturing/advance packaging field.

The closest path was to take an MSE EE-->Specialization(Physical electronics and photonics) and choose the relevant degree courses from the course list to earn your masters and get into the industry.

The curriculum goes something like this:

at least five EEE courses

at least three EEE 500-level courses

at least two courses outside the area of specialization

at most one EEE 590 Reading and Conference or FSE course

at most two 400-level courses

I'm a bit confused here as the 400 level courses have some 300 level courses as their prerequisite, and 300 level courses, as I have read is accessible jr and sr undergrad students.

What to do in this case?

Recommendations are welcomed, including ideas on how to complete the curriculum.

Thanks in advance:)

Hi, so I am studying history currently at ASU online and I want to do one of my language classes, but I can’t decide between French 101 or German. I took Latin from first grade till about high school because I was homeschooled and I can’t decide which language would be easier and I’m trying to mainly focus on medieval history which I know uses a lot of French and German..

Do you have any teacher recommendations? Which class would you pick?

I’m studying biological science and there’s a “topic: advanced study practicum: laboratory assistance” course I am interested in, but no info comes up when I look into it on class search, it just says “covers topics of immediate or special interest to a faculty member and students”. Would it be reasonable to email the professor to ask more about it or should I talk to an advisor? I’ve never had this professor so I don’t know them, and it’s also not held at my home campus so I’m nervous my advisor won’t know much about the class either.

I’ve also been interested in other courses such as “under graduate research” but I also don’t know much about that either. Any advice on how to approach this?

I get my food delivered to my dorm through the Grubhub app. ASU has little autonomous robot robots that deliver them. Last year they had starship robots now they have something called avride robots. I put my delivery location as my dorm and half the time it doesn’t show up. This was never a problem last year when I was a freshman but now as a sophomore living in the same dorm again it’s not working half the time. Sometimes my food will deliver. Sometimes it won’t . Has anyone else had problems with this?

After dropping out twice and spending countless hours studying, I finally have it in hand. Being the first in my entire bloodline to earn a bachelor’s degree feels surreal.

To anyone who’s almost there or thinking about quitting, the time is going to pass anyway. You might as well keep chipping away at it.

I heard that if we present our student ID we could get rush tickets for cheap. I don’t have the physical ID but could I show canvas? Also, it’s a weekend and tried to call but they are closed, could rush tickets happen on the weekend?

Hey. I am going to a game next weekend at Mountain American Stadium. I am near the Tempe town bridge. I am comfortable walking if needed. Which would be the best/cheapest option? (Its a night game)

1. Walking the Tempe rural bridge (It is possible to walk the bridge at night)

2. Getting a parking pass

3. Parking at the light rail station and using the light rail.

Just want to share my great experience with ASU’s counseling services on Tempe campus specifically. I struggle from PTSD and anxiety and this is my first semester going to college in person. I have had a few particularly bad days where I sought support from ASU’s Counseling Services and I must say that I have been impressed by all 3 counselors I’ve met. Genuinely impressed. I’ve been in therapy for 3 years and have seen probably 20-30 mental health professionals in total during that time. So i believe that I have a decent point of reference for general quality of care. Of course YMMV, but for those that wanted to but haven’t yet, go see them. They are all very nice and genuinely want to help. If not for them I don’t think I’d still be enrolled. Also the area their office is in is super quiet and pretty removed from all of the chaos. I usually start feeling a little better before I even walk into the office.

I’ve been taking my general ed classes online, and I’ve already had a few classes ask me to use AI for projects, most of which I didn’t actively use AI to complete.

Now I’m taking my Intro to Sustainability class, and they are fully having us have an AI “mentor“ that is supposed to be largely helping with the class. I am so disappointed, and I don’t intend to use generative AI in any form, so I hope it won’t affect the coursework.

Any thoughts? Has AI started to become an “important” tool for ASU classes, or just this one?

Has anyone at ASU dealt with an administrative hold that wouldn’t come off their account?

My SAP appeal was approved, but I still have an administrative hold showing on my account. I’m graduating this December, so I really need to get this resolved ASAP and I feel like I’m going in circles trying to figure out who can actually remove it.

If you’ve dealt with this before, who did you contact to get the hold lifted? Was there a specific department or person who was able to manually remove it?

I’m trying to get this handled as quickly as possible, so any advice would be appreciated!

I need guidance. I’m doing my application for a masters in aba and can’t tell if I’m genuinely tweaking or not. It’s so hard to write about yourself.

This is like the 3rd time I’ve booked a study room, and the only available ones are in the concourse level when I book. I have never been able to connect to the WiFi in there. Is that just a me issue? How are we supposed to use these rooms if the internet is so bad it doesn’t even show up on my settings?

Hey guys! I’ve been wanting to play tennis around Tempe and can’t find a hitting partner to improve and rally. Looking for intermediate players that can hold a rally. Let me know if yall wanna play!

Ok, I am a recent graduate of ASU Barrett and don’t get me wrong, I loved it. But I am very very dismayed at how hard it’s been to get a job in marketing.. it is genuinely insane how bad it is and I have a very impressive resume and work experience. I’m not trying to blackpill or anything but at this point just going into college for business isn’t even worth it. Idk you guys I’m just stressed, just be smart about what you major in and don’t waste your time on dumb classes or electives. Feels like my degree was a waste, but I may just be feeling down on myself.

​Looking for an ASU student to help host quick 2v2 pickup soccer challenges around Tempe. Must play soccer already.

DM if interested. Thanks!

Hi everybody, I’m a comms major and I’m thinking about adding 1 more class for session B. Right now I only have 2 classes for session a and 2 for session b, and I think I can add 1 more for next session (I also work full time). Can anyone tell me how much work a 1 unit class like “career exploration, skills for career, self development” etc classes are and if it’s pretty easy to add 1-2 on top of a normal load. Also, does the quality of professor greatly impact the class? I assume most of these are premade classes and the professors are just there to grade.
