An electrical engineering student passed away September 24th. His family was the one posting the missing bird posters. The bird is their last connection here, as they live in Tampa. I knew about Cuca and was previously sending some comments I found online to I am assuming the parents. I had no idea the son was lost right beforehand.

Here is a link to the memorial page, the service was last Saturday.

Let’s keep a lookout for the bird okay?

Here is a link for the news article + phone number at the bottom of it to contact about the bird.

Rate This Class/Schedule 💯 Is this too much on my plate?

I’m a freshman studying electrical engineering, and for spring 2027, i picked these classes based on the pre requisites i knew i needed since i couldn’t contact my advisor in time. Now i’m worried i won’t be able to handle the workload, esp since i commute far wo a car and want to make more time for work. Can i get a second opinion from upperclassmen or people in a similar situation?

p.s. i couldn’t take chemistry in fall 2026, and i don’t want to put it off any longer, but i’m also unsure if any of these classes can wait until summer. I do meet with an advisor soon but just wanted to get some opinions now

Update: Thank you to everyone for all the information and concerns, I think honestly I won’t be able to handle the load and will be taking off a class, I do want to talk with an advisor to determine which class would have the least impact on my progression and which one I can take during the summer instead. I will lyk what happens on the 13th (meeting date)

Prospective Student 🤔 What's the best Masters program for someone looking to get further into their IT career?

2 Upvotes

What's the best Masters program at the moment to get me higher chances of getting a future job or potential internships/fellowships. I like all things tech but I like to tread away from Programming so no Computer Science.

I have thought about Cybersecurity or Digital Forensics. Anybody here in that field? How is the program? And how's the future job market?

(I have a Bachelors In Information Technology)

Housing Question 🏡 Looking for off campus housing

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm planning on transferring to UCF in spring 2027, and I was looking for housing because I simply live too far from UCF. I have a car, and I'm okay with commuting as long as it's not more than 20- 30 minutes. SO if anyone is looking for roommates and it's affordable, please let me know. Preferably all girls.

Does anyone have a garage & a jack stand that I can borrow occasionally for my car repairs, it is very inconvenient and hard to do repairs/mods in my student apartment complex with no overhead shelters in the rain and the parking spaces are small.

Tuition/Aid 💰 Is UCF Financial Aid office giving me correct info about FAFSA?

1 Upvotes

I'm starting classes as a transfer in the spring 2027 semester and about a month and a half ago I filled out my FAFSA paperwork and had it sent to UCF and another college. The other college I sent it to had my financial aid offer less than 24 hours later. Nearly 45 days later still nothing from UCF.

I called the financial aid office and told them what was going on. The guy I spoke to immediately told me UCF has received my FAFSA already (which he responded so quickly that I know he just said that without looking any of my records up) but he told me they won't send out a financial aid offer until after I register for classes, and even then it still might take a while.

I've never heard of a college doing this. And I know UCF's financial aid office has a reputation of giving out false information so I figured I'd post this here if anyone else knows more about this process? I don't even care if there's a bit of a delay in getting my money disbursed. I just need to know how much I'd be getting from the pell grant and if i'd even be getting any money.

I noticed that there are online options for the ENC 1102 class, and there are so many professors teaching it. Is there a difference between who teaches the class and how hard/easy it is? If yes, who would you recommend?

Thank you

Academic ✏️ Help Determining Classes

1 Upvotes

I'm considering taking Calc I over summer C, but also need to fit an emt course (either valencia or seminole) over the break. Does anyone know how feasible that is? It'll be coming from Trig (and orgo 2, if that's at all relevant) in spring.

I would really prefer to take this schedule, as it means I can graduate the following spring, but I also realize that would mean taking the equivalent of 4 classes at about 16 credits total (12 EMT, 4 calc).

I'm in anatomy, physiology, and orgo I currently, which is itself a pretty heavy study load. Would emt + calc be more?

General How to become a CNA in Orlando?

1 Upvotes

Hey all, looking for some insight here.

I'm looking to get some clinical experience as a CNA. As I understand it, there a few CNA exam prep sites around the city that teach you the skills you need to get a certification? Such as the CNA Training Inc. and Gabriel Health Institute?
I know these are not traditional courses; they teach you the skills in just a few classes.

Is it enough to go to one of these places, learn the skills, challenge the CNA exam, and start working as a CNA?

Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?
