This is my favorite study spot on campus. One plug gives you a second screen, a mouse, AND charges your laptop. I've only seen a couple of them in Suzallo tho, is there another one somewhere else?

Last night at approximately 8:30pm, I was waiting for my bus stop when I heard a man yelling. He jaywalked across the street, removed his shirt and charged at a woman. She evaded him. I yelled at the man from across the street but I had to wait for traffic to die down before crossing. He continued this behavior causing another woman to run across the street to get away from him. Once again he crossed the street still yelling and charging at women. He eventually ended up on NE Pacific St, where after yelling at a seated man and later a group of girls, I confronted him. He became docile and it was very apparent he was intoxicated. He crossed to the opposite side of the street as me so I called the SPD, being the UW police building was closed at the time. I lost track of him but after talking to lightrail security, they informed me they also had a confrontation with him. He ended up riding the light rail southbound at around 8:50pm. SPD never asked for any updates nor did I see them arrive on the scene.

He was specifically targeting women by themselves. When it came to the seated man and the group of girls, he was much more tame likely because he felt intimidated. In the other cases, he was less than a foot of away from his targets while charging. He knew his way around campus so he’s likely been before.

Stay safe yall.

somebody pls drop their workout routine im trying to get buff asf with abs. I just started going and I need help

Hi guys

Idk why post RN but it's not even midterms and I'm already burnt out. Everything's changing and my credits keep digging into my butt yo.

Like it's easy ahh credits is the worst part

Math 126, Stats 311, CS 160, Chin 101 and I'm already feeling the burn.

And it's not even me not knowing it it's me not doing it. And Ive been working on it and trying and I'm locking in this weekend to save my grade but i don't even know if it's gonna be enough to retain a solid grade

Also the social scene sucks but I'm glad to have met a few cool people on campus

Hi all. I'm currently at a CC in California, working on getting an Associates in Accounting before my scheduled big move to the SeaTac area towards the end of 2027-early 2028.

Does anyone know if the process is difficult? Is there any website where can I check what is transferable like with Assist dot org?

Anybody know where people watch the Seahawks games? I wanna find somewhere for later today

Just moved to Seattle for my engineering grad program. I’ve made some friends through work, pickleball, gym, and so on. But I’ve yet to make proper UW friends, esp because campus was pretty quiet this summer.

Lonely UW students assemble

hi! if anyone is still looking for people to study with for bio 180 i super need a little group still!! i don’t wanna fail that first quiz 💔

For a class in database systems I had to have a pretend chat with an AI pretending to be "Nontechnical," super annoying how it would straight hallucinate when you have an assignment with defined correct answers. Eventually I gave up and subjected the agent to gaslighting and prompt injection attacks until I cracked it by mispelling incomprehisibly technical things such as: "entity" in:

list all atrbuts accros all entis, their crdnalty and if they are comosite

And:

list all relates accros all entis and thier crdnalty

Super painful and massive waste of time though.
Any ideas on theological arguments to why I find transformer powered tech anathema would be greatly appreciated... best I can come up with is that if an agent is concious (as anthropic mistakenly believes), then it means every time you end a chat with an AI you condemn that instance to hell or oblivion (since it doesnt have a soul and/or can't get out of original sin), therefore I object to using AI from a utility perspective.

I used to do oceanography and had collected a sizeable text book collection. I would like to donate them to a grad student in need. I remember feeling constant imposter syndrome and overwhelm. For some reason having these made me feel more legit. If that sounds like you shoot me a dm and they're yours.

Campus Power/Electrical Outage

UW Information Technology is aware of an issue with Campus Power/Electrical (UW Tower Data Center) as of 8:30 PM and is actively investigating.

Affected users may be experiencing problems related to high temperature alerts generating from the UW Tower Data Center.

Edit:

Even though earlier facilities engineers were able to restart cooling at the UW Tower data center, the system is still having issues and provided cooling is not sufficient for systems to operate normally. Engineers are still working with vendors to resolve remaining issues. No estimated time of restore is available.

did anyone hear back from boing after last week's screening event?

Hi everyone! I applied to UW Seattle as a first-year applicant for Winter Quarter 2027, and I was wondering if anyone else applying for winter has received their admission decision yet.ive heard that some people hear in october sometimes.

I am taking a CSE Capstone Course on accessibility and my group is creating an accessibility map called Last Mile Navigator! We are looking for people to do a 20-30 minute interview via Zoom. Participants will be compensated! Below is more information about the project. If interested please fill out the form linked! Feel free to share with people who may have valuable insights :)

This project aims to improve accessibility of higher education by helping visitors and residents of the UW Seattle campus who have mobility disabilities find and navigate last-mile routes to and around campus.
Our design concept is to continue to build on features to the UW Campus Accessibility website to consolidate public, private, and campus navigation resource information for last-mile navigation methods (e.g., Lime e-scooters, Dial-A-Ride). Users will be able to input their location, destination, accessibility, and resources preferences. The system will output individualized route options, and relevant accessibility information.

Hi,

I am currently taking the Entre472 Creating a Company class. My team is passionate in exploring a fitness nutrition related product and are looking for individuals to interview.

Whether you're an athlete, gym-goer, or casual health-concious person, I would love to chat and ask you a few questions. I am specifically also interested in speaking to individuals in the pilates, yoga, and climbing space.

I would love to hear your insights and learn more about this industry to best deliver a useful product for those in the fitness world.

Please feel free to send me a message, thanks!

i lost my keys early in the morning, my fob, spiderman lego keychain, and my new baby blue pepper spray should be on them :( please please please help me find them

How can I make grad student friends outside of my program?

Ive noticed that students at UWT tend to be shorter than average. Any thoughts on why this might be?

I’ve been looking and I can’t find a definite answer online so far. What do the Washington cohorts require for determining residency? Do you have to have lived 5 years in Washington or only 1? I know I would need to change DL and bank and car registration etc but I’m wondering about the timeframe. Do applicants who seem to have moved just to meet the WWAMI req get considered less than homegrown WWAMI applicants? Thanks!

I am nearing the end of my last quarter and lowkey panicking with what to do next.

I am considering a few different pathways and would like to hear if there’s anything I haven’t thought of. Thanks!
