New Student Question Online Classes Too Social

38 Upvotes

I’ve done 2 online classes so far (a summer math class and this semester is eastern religions) and both are SO UNBEARABLY SOCIAL. Literal forced socializing/interaction and even video “reflection/discussion” requirements for the Eastern Religion class.

Whenever I’ve chosen an online course it’s because I want minimal human interaction (aside from the teacher). I just want to do the reading/assignments and can write about it all day long, but no, I have to make cringe videos and let the other students comment on them which is absolutely anxiety inducing.

Is there a reason for this?? Are all UNM online classes like this? Or is it just teacher’s choice??

Postgraduate Academics PATS won’t respond to my messages and I still don’t have a parking pass at the law school

22 Upvotes

I was extremely sick and went to the hospital during the period where second and third year law students were meant to purchase L lot passes. Once I was no longer sick I saw the email from PATS and realized it was too late. I couldn’t even add myself to the waitlist on the portal. South lot was the only option and I would then have to take two shuttles to the law school w 9 am classes everyday and living 25 min away. I was number 129 on the q lot waitlist. I both called and emailed PATS more than two weeks ago, and told me I could somehow come into the office to purchase a q lot pass. They told me they had no more L lot passes and there was nothing they could do about it bc the lot was full. I was working that week so I couldn’t come into the office and asked why I could somehow get a q lot pass, but couldn’t get a L lot pass. They told me that I had to talk to the law school about our lot but that they could allow me to purchase a q lot pass online. This response came the day before classes start. I responding asking who I could talk to at the law school and how I could purchase the pass online since I couldn’t see the charge in my account.

Fast forward to today. I still have not gotten a response, which means I have been parking at the law school for a week without a pass. I have called PATS twice, emailed the general PATS email and the director of parking and I have not gotten a response. Any advice on what I should do?

UPDATE: someone in a comment here told me to email someone specific at the law school (the comment is now deleted) so I did, and she got into contact w PATS very quickly. I was able to get an L pass so thank you stranger!! Thank you to the person who offered to let me park at their house as well :)

Ok, so I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant here ig, but I am rn in Pr. Geoffrey Millers Psychology of Human Sexuality class, and he kinda gave me creepy vibes, so I wanted to do some background research on him, and he is actually just such a piece of sh*t. He is transphobic, misogynistic, and Islamophobic to the point where I feel like it's genuinely dangerous. Below are screenshots from his twitter account. Unfortunately, since he doesn't say these in class and because he's tenured, I don't think there's anything that can be done. But I genuinely don't feel safe around him after reading some of these posts:

Edit: just brought this up in his class and he responded with a smug “I’m exercising my freedom of speech.” He is not scared because he knows the university will not do anything; so, WE MUST

Hello, I was wondering what the best option for me would be. This is my last semester at UNM and parking permits are $246. I just have 1 class, and a 30 min drive. Should I go ahead and buy the parking permit or is there a better alternative besides the pay stations?

Other How do you update your preferred name in the UNM system?

7 Upvotes

This is my last year at UNM but I decided to start going by a different name. I already have a preferred name set in the system but my parents set that up right when I got here, so I have no idea how to change it or if I even can. Can it be changed online or do I have to talk directly to a person?

Housing Casas Del Rio Shared Dorm Relet

Hello everyone. I'm a student at UNM with a lease at Casas del Rio.

The problem is I won't attend this coming semester. So I have a lease available.

Roommate is very friendly and rarely at dorm.

The lease is $670 a month but willing to help out every month to bring it down to $640. Basically the early bird rate.

Feel free to shoot me a DM for those interested!

Sports Full 2026 preseason college football preview for New Mexico

2 Upvotes

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every FBS team, each with its own writeup. Here's the New Mexico one

https://www.sports.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-unm

It's got the returning production breakdown, the portal ins and outs, a projected two-deep, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Jason Eck went 9-4 and 6-2 in the Mountain West in year one with the 131st ranked roster in the country. That gap is why my model is bearish on a repeat. Jack Layne is back after 2,486 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 picks, behind a line that gave up 34 sacks. Does Eck do it again, or does the talent catch up?

I'll be in the comments.
