<p>Thanks! but on campus is mainly for freshman from what I heard. I will be doing masters (I’m 23) and possibly on campus is not the best environment for me? (though I like the social aspect of it), I heard west campus apartments are nice and near shops, food…etc</p>
<p>^^west campus does have some nice apartment complexes and the area is very social, but since you said you’re working on your masters and prefer quieter complexes you might want to also check out the north campus and hyde park area. West campus is mostly full of undergrads and is where the majority the Greek life is…sooo that may not be you’re “scene”.</p>
<p>I agree with rasnavely. Search in North Campus and get an apartment on a bus route. Look on Red River Street- You’ll be on a fast route to campus plus you’ll be close to HEB if you need to do your grocery shopping.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I didn’t realize that you were a grad student. A lot of grad students live in north campus – that’s definitely a great area to look into.</p>
<p>why exactly would you not reccommend towers to a girl?</p>
<p>Well, don’t take it word for word, but I’ve just heard from people that it’s a dangerous place to live (for anyone, actually). But it’s also filled with frat guys. I really didn’t mean to sound sexist – I was just repeating what I’ve heard from girls.</p>
<p>my oos d loved towers. It is a party dorm. Many go greek. She made many friends, and loved it. She went greek. She is glad she did.</p>
<p>^ Well there you go. So freshman12 do not base your decision on where you lived based on soadquake981. If your into socializing and having a wide variety of friends who are especially in Greek, The Towers, SRD, or Hardin House are the places to be at. If you tend to keep your partying limited and still have some social aspects, on campus might be your thing.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m just giving my opinion. If you want partying to be part of where you live, then Towers is great. You could always live elsewhere and party at Towers, though, which I think is a better idea.</p>
<p>well, I am planning on living there next year, but I just want some thing more concrete than “it’s all frat guys” about why some people are telling me to consider other places.</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t have any personal experience to speak of, and I don’t want to give you false information! This isn’t exactly my area of expertise, haha. Sorry I can’t be of more help in that regard, but let me know if you have other questions!</p>
<p>Yes, I’m dragging this thread back up! Feel free to ask any questions!</p>
<p>Also, just FYI, we will be having an Out-of-State Welcome Party in the first few weeks of school. Look out for more information soon!</p>
<p>I am an incoming jc student attending Southwestern College located at Chula Vista, California. My goal is to transfer to the Cockrel School of engineering. I have read the guidelines and requirements needed to transfer. However, there is a confusion within the staff and counselors at Southwestern college on which math class I need to take to fulfill the math requirement needed to transfer to Cockrel School of Engineering.</p>
<p>The requirements states that I must complete a course in Math 2413 and Math 2414. They have suggested to me to either take Math 250 or Math 121 at Southwestern College. My question to you guys is will Math 250 or Math 121 fulfill the requirement of 2413 and 2414?</p>
<p>I have emailed UT’s student-affairs and have not yet received an email. I need it soon because of summer school. Thanks</p>
<p>Here is a description of both courses. Copied from the Southwestern College Catalog.</p>
<p>Math 121.
Applied Calculus 1
3 units</p>
<hr>
<p>Prerequisite: MATH 70 or the equivalent skill level as
determined by the Southwestern College Mathematics
Assessment or equivalent.</p>
<p>Recommended Preparation:RDG 158 or the equivalent
skill level as determined by the Southwestern College
Reading Assessment or equivalent</p>
<p>Lecture 3 hours</p>
<p>Offered Variable</p>
<p>Emphasis concepts and applications of algebra,
analytic geometry, and the polynomial calculus to
solving problems in the physical, biological, and social
sciences. Requires graphing calculator. (Not open to
students with credit in MATH 250 or equivalent.)</p>
<p>[D;CSU;UC]</p>
<p>Math 250.
Analytic Geometry and Calculus 1
5 units</p>
<hr>
<p>Prerequisite: MATH 244 or equivalent; or MATH 101
and 104, or the equivalent skill level as determined by
the Southwestern College Mathematics Assessment or
equivalent</p>
<p>Lecture 5 hours</p>
<p>Offered: Variable</p>
<p>Covers analytic geometry, functions, limits, derivations
of algebraic functions, applications of the derivative,
integration, applications of the definite integral, solving
differential equations, and transcendental functions.
Requires graphing calculator.</p>
<p>[D;CSU;UC]</p>
<p>So if I send my complete application to UT on August 1, when can I expect to hear back from them?</p>
<p>@stifff – If you’re referring to the “calculus readiness” requirement, the website states that you need “an official college or university transcript showing credit for a college-level Calculus I (or higher) course with a grade of “C” or higher”. So, I think that either of the courses you listed count as a “Calculus I” class… I don’t really know what you mean by math 2413/2414. Are those course codes for your college system?</p>
<p>@Texashopeful – You might hear back sometime in the fall, but don’t be surprised if you get a decision in late February or March. UT typically sends out the automatic top 10% decisions first.</p>
<p>Do out-of-state freshman applicants quilify for top 10% automatic admissions?</p>
<p>No, unfortunately!</p>
<p>The admissions office only adheres to the top 10% policy because they have to. They’d like to be able to admit students based on more than just GPA. Because they don’t have to legally apply that policy to OOS students, they don’t.</p>
<p>As an out of state applicant do I qualify for any merrit based scholarships?</p>
<p>Yup, definitely. Merit scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of merit, whether you are a Texas resident or not. Of course, there are certain university-wide merit scholarships that have stipulations that say something like “must be from a particular county” or “must have graduated from a particular high school”, but the merit scholarships given by each college are freely available.</p>
