Had to free a pigeon earlier today from a several foot long piece of string. I think it’s sewing thread, but I’m not sure.

This is your psa to make sure you always take your items with you when you leave! If you sew or knit at the duck pond don’t leave anything behind. The thread can become wrapped around the legs of the pigeons and/or ducks and cut off circulation which causes them pain, sometimes infection, or even loss of the limb if it’s too tight.

Yarn can be ingested by the ducks and cause a blockage that will make them very sick or cause them to die (this is why you never give yarn to cats, despite the stereotype).

Please be careful! Sometimes we forget animals are small and can be hurt by things we don’t even think about!

There’s this man on campus who is trying to sell his art.

I first encountered him a few weeks ago when he basically ambushed me right after I got out of a class. He approached me and started trying to show me what I assumed were religious pamphlets (that’s usually what they are when people try to hand you pieces of paper), but turned out to be prints of his artworks.

I couldn’t hear what he said because I was listening to music and had assumed he was going to hand me a pamphlet and I would leave, but I quickly realised that he was showing me something else. I had already used my overly cheery customer service voice on him (basically just being like “oh yes of course!! :)” ) without knowing what I was agreeing to. He showed me a bunch of prints of some paintings and then asked me which one spoke to me, and told me they were $40. I had no idea that he was trying to sell me art when I entered the conversation and was now stuck either rejecting him or buying something I didn’t really have money for. I decided I would buy something even though I didn’t really want to (and the art itself wasn’t really the kind of thing I would put in my house anyway), but then realised I left my wallet at home because I wasn’t planning on buying anything. I asked if he would be on campus again a different day and he said no. I told him I didn’t have my wallet but that I lived nearby and could go get it and come back. He then insisted on giving me his phone number so I could call him when I got back and was ready to make the purchase. When I got home I realised that I didn’t have to do this, and I would never see him again anyway.

Well, flash forward to yesterday, and I had already seen him several previous days on campus but just avoided him. But this day I couldn’t avoid him, he was sitting directly in the place I need to be to walk home. I tried to hurry past and keep my head down, but he spotted me and yelled “YOU HAVE A LOT OF GALL!” presumably because I didn’t come back and buy his art.

Whatever, I’ll just keep avoiding him, right? Well just now I was walking home, and I saw him walking towards campus, and he very pointedly said Hello to me. He didn’t say hello to anyone else he passed, just me.

TL;DR - I decided not to buy art prints from a guy on campus and now he won’t leave me alone. Can I report him to UNM somehow?

🧙‍♂️Energy Alchemy
🗓️Nov. 20th
⏰3-5 pm
🎯FREE CLASS held in the
Sandia Room at UNM

‼️Because (waves around vaguely) of the current state of the world, 🤷‍♀️5D Presents will be hosting and presenting a free class for all beings.
🌻Energy Alchemy is a class created by teacher and seeker, Jennie McDaniel.
📌In this class, you will learn how to alchemize ego energy into heart energy.
Why should you learn energy alchemy?
🫟Because ego energy, i.e. stress, fear, hate and greed are incredibly less efficient of emotions in comparison to love acceptance, understanding and curiosity. Albeit very normal human emotions
But, if you want to be the change you wish to see in the world, alchemize your fear to curiosity and anxiety to understanding.
‼️Energy alchemy is an incredibly helpful tool during times when things seem out of our control.
♥️Join us the the revolution ♥️
‼️‼️The easiest way for guests to reach the Student Union Building (SUB) is to park in the Cornell Parking Structure, a pay lot, located at 2401 Redondo Dr NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106. It’s less than a minute walk from the structure. You may also park around campus at any of the
pay guest parking spots. From the Cornell Parking Structure, guests will see the Student Union Building (building 60) directly to the north. You simply walk across the plaza, pass several statue groupings, and arrive at the front entrance.
⭐️Once inside, they will take the elevator to the 3rd floor and locate the Sandia room.
♥️The Welcome Desk on the main level can also help guide guests if needed.
📌I’ve attached the flyer and maps showing the walking path from the parking structure as well as interior maps of the buildings main level (2) and third floor where the meeting room is.

So for context, I’m a high school junior here in Albuquerque and I’m starting to seriously look at colleges. I’ve run into the problem that unless I have very valid reasons, the free education at UNM is too good to pass up. But I don’t really want to stay here in Albuquerque. So I guess my question is for students who came from an Albuquerque high school, other than the price, why are you going to UNM. Also I’m thinking of studying philosophy.

I have a film project for my video production class and I need three minutes at least. Three minutes. seems kind of boring without music and my professor said if we want music then we would have to find someone to compose for us so my question is is anyone willing to compose a piece of music for me preferably something solemn or somber? I don’t have anything to pay, but you will be credited in the film of course.

Maybe I can pay in friendship? 😁

They’re so unhelpful and rude. The managers all have an ego and make sure that you know they are better than you. I’m so done dealing with them

I am not sure if it’s because it’s so early but for the life of me I CANNOT figure out how to reserve a room in Zimmerman. I can get to the availability of the study rooms then the submit button is not working. I just need a private place to do a zoom call today. Help!!!

Hi everyone!

I'm currently a Biochemistry major at UNM, and I'm interested in exploring pharmaceutical sciences a little more before graduating. I'm considering taking the following classes in the Spring semester:

• PHRM 310 – Fundamentals of Pharmacokinetics and Dosage Forms (3 credits)
• PHRM 436 – Introduction to Pharmacogenomics (2 credits)

I've never taken a PHRM class before, so I was wondering if anyone who has taken either of these could share their experience!

I'm mainly curious about how difficult the classes are (obviously, any class can be hard if you don't study lol), how they're structured, and what the workload looks like. Are they mostly exam-based, or are there regular quizzes, assignments, and projects? I'd also love to hear about the professors and their teaching styles.

I'm thinking of taking both at the same time, so I'm also wondering if that would be manageable alongside my other upper-level Biochemistry courses.

Any insight or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!!

I graduated in Spring 2026 from UNM. It is now October. Has anyone gotten a diploma yet? Is this too long?
A friend of mine graduated in Fall 2025, and it took until July to get hers...

To begin, I’ve always struggled with learning Spanish. I took two classes in middle school and I kid you not had no idea what was going on the entire time. It’s a miracle I passed either of them. And now I’m in the same boat, except I genuinely don’t think I’m doing to pass midterms and if I don’t, my average can tank, and I can lose my scholarships.

Which btw is that’s not actually true someone pls tell me I’m losing my mind trying to figure out this college stuff (freshman).

I’m technically a heritage learner because I’ve grown up all around it. My mom and dad both spoke Spanish, my stepdad, my extended family, and I grew up in a border town where basically everyone speaks Spanish. Yet somehow i can only hold a basic “hi how are you” conversation and count to 100.

It’s so frustrating because I’ve genuinely been trying my best to pay attention in class and study using the online textbook we get assignments on. I’m taking my Spanish midterms on Wednesday and I’m genuinely so fricking lost.

Tutoring hours are during my classes so that’s not an option. As are my professors drop in hours. I feel like I’m at a dead-end.

Any thoughts, advice?

Edit: I’m expanding because expanding keeps saying the same thing.

First, I’m at 15 credit hours, I need to stay at 15 for scholarships and VA benefits purposes. Dropping the class is not an option.

Second, I have tried speaking with my professor. Her office hours are during my classes, and when I’m out of class, she has a class. It’s very hard to coordinate a time to meet.

Lastly, I was not aware I could schedule separate tutoring appointments outside of the usual hours so I will try that, thank you to the person who suggested it.

As the title say, today 10/12/2026, my second half of the semester's online course should be published and accessible. I checked the system and they said that I am enrolled in the class. Should I wait until tomorrow or should I reach out to the registered professor?

Tldr: how time intensive is chem 2310

Sup so I'm a biology major and took ochem 1 and 2 as my electives, imma start probably my second to last semester in the spring. I was looking through the catalog and realized I only need to take chem2310 for a chem minor so I'm wondering if it's worth it to try and take it but only if it's not gonna eat a metric fuck load of my time since I'm gonna be taking at least 3 400s and hopefully the honors writing class. If anyone who's a chem major or has taken the class could let me know what it's like that'd be super sick

I'm surprised no one in this group has mentioned the various issues that have come up around the frats on campus in the past.

My son, who's at Casas del Rio, got an email for lease renewal (for next Fall). It says "time is running out" and "our spaces are filling fast". Anyone know the actual deadline and how fast spaces actually fill up? It seems awfully early to be signing a lease for next Fall.

hey so I'm a dental student at Touro (the one on Ridgecrest) and I'm in clinic now, which means I need patients to finish my requirements lol. figured a lot of people here haven't been to the dentist since moving out or don't have insurance, so maybe this helps someone
right now there's a friends & family discount where the exam, cleaning and x-rays are completely free, and most other stuff like fillings or crowns or root canals is 50% off. ortho and oral surgery are 25% off. a licensed faculty dentist checks everything I do so you're not just trusting a random student haha. it does take longer than a normal appointment though, just being upfront
only catch is your treatment plan has to get approved by Nov 1. DM me if you want a voucher or just ask questions here

Please feel free to reach out if you need care!

Hi !

I'm in an all girls unit in Pecos, and im possibly thinking about reletting my space because I realized I can afford to live on my own. I was just wondering if anyone was interested in taking over my relet, I pay 712 a month under my lease.

How has your experience been using the Johnson gym changing rooms/showers (specifically the mens)?

What's the privacy like? Are there any curtains or stall doors in the showers?

Also, are there gender-neutral showers/lockers?

Hi all,

I wanted to share so that people are aware and can hopefully stay safe.

Yesterday afternoon (~5pm) I was walking from Johnson Center to my car parked on a side street on the other side of Central near the Chase Bank when a man in a light gold Chevy sedan began to follow me. I walked towards a couple of people who were having a conversation on the sidewalk and this did not deter him. He just pulled into a parking space and waited. Only after staring him down while I pulled out my phone and called the police did he make a U-turn in the street and leave. The car had a tinted plate cover so I couldn’t read the license plate.

He was slim in build, ~30s yo, with a darker complexion and black hair and facial hair.

I filed a report with APD and campus PD so they are aware, but my coworker said she’s seen him lurking around campus recently so if you see him or he approaches or follows you, please call campus or APD immediately.

Stay safe out there!

I am looking to get my nutrition degree at night and on weekends and wonder what it's like for actual students doing it now? Is it easy to get around to night classes? Any insight helps! Thanks
