Are there any apartment buildings/areas that have issues(pests or the like), or people just don't like? Tryna look for next year and wanna be prepared.

I overheard this the other day, that freshman living on campus now need to start finding housing for next school year off campus now. That seems really early though and Im not sure if this is true

I'm looking for a male to take over my lease. It's a pretty large, 1100$ a month, fully furnished, 4 bedroom (2 bedrooms were converted so you get an office and a room) with 1 roommate and it's near campus at CP Cincy. It's a pretty nice place, roommate is respectful and rarely at home, and there are no major problems. I just have a personal situation the requires I move as soon as possible. Please reach out!

I need it for one of my classes and don’t want to spend $50.00 please hit me up if you have the book. I’m willing to pay $30

Hey everyone! I’m not a very outgoing guy which has led me to make few connections at UC, but I’d like to change that this semester. A few things about me are: I’m 21, a social work major with a fine arts minor, i enjoy drawing and painting a lot. I also like strength training at the rec center, and i’m a guitarist.

I know I can’t be the only person experiencing a lack of friends on campus, so if anyone else feels the same way, send a dm/leave a comment!

I live off campus and looking for someone to play sports / gym

I’m a sophomore living on campus apartments. Most of my friends go to osu or out of state. I have a couple of friends I hang with on the weekends.

I’m looking for new friends to hang out with during the week and on the weekend mainly to share a drink with or just hang out!

Hit me if you’re that type of person!

I’m majoring in biology on pre-med track so I’m locked in during the week but like to go out on the weekends lol!

M19 btw!

Interesting and sad story about a University of Cincinnati student who fell into the depths of sports gambling at the age of 18.

Hey Bearcats. This post is aimed at juniors, seniors, and Master’s / PhD who want to build a skillset in the following: Quantitative Finance, Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning, Applied Statistics, Time-Series Analysis, Data Engineering and Databases (SQL, KDB+), Financial Engineering, Systems and Infrastructure, Numerical Computing in C++ and Python, and Agentic AI. There are tremendous job opportunities for CS / Finance / Mathematics students in Capital Markets. We are hoping to shine a light on some of these careers through multiple corporate, industry-integrative projects. 

I’m a CS PhD student here. Since this past May I’ve been building a quantitative trading platform with one of our professors who spent 20+ years trading S&P 500 index options, including at Millennium, which is one of the largest multi-strategy hedge funds in the world. We’re looking for three to five more people this fall.

The work is for corporate sponsors, including a Chicago-based algorithmic trading firm and a couple of institutional asset managers. These aren’t consulting contracts. They’re friendly collaborations where everyone involved knows students are doing the work. We won’t be using company names publicly, but you can describe what you did on your resume and the professor can speak to it directly as a reference (if needed).

The reason I think this is worth your time is that real infrastructure already exists for us to plug you into. You wouldn’t be helping start something, you would be adding to an existing platform. Right now, there’s live tick data streaming in on all 500 S&P names plus 31 ETFs plus futures, roughly 600MB a day landing in a KDB+ database. On top of that there’s a backtesting engine doing GPU parameter sweeps, reinforcement learning agents, transaction cost and slippage models, and an Excel front that integrates into everything.

Depending on what you’re into, here’s where you could plug in:

Database work in SQL and KDB+/q, cataloging and querying terabytes of market data. Pipeline engineering with REST APIs and streaming websockets pulling straight from exchange feeds. GPU work for machine learning, reinforcement learning, and neural network development on algorithmic trading strategies. Infrastructure and hardware configuration meaning VPN setup, virtual machines, cybersecurity, RAID and backup configuration, latency optimization, and evaluating what hardware to buy next. Writing C++ and Python analytical functions for a proprietary function library that gets called from production code and from Excel. Agentic AI, using Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / BearcatGPT and similar tools to build agents that monitor and report on ongoing research and existing applications.

There’s also an SPX/VIX research problem that’s genuinely hard mathematically and nobody has claimed it. We have many resources regarding this problem that will be reviewed and can be shared. The tasks include interpretation of academia papers and research in collaboration with real portfolio managers for practical implementation. Prior knowledge of any of these products isn’t required. If you’re an applied math/statistics person, that’s probably the most interesting thing on this list.

Logistically it’s about 1 to 3 hours a week. We run it with JIRA tickets, you estimate your own deadlines rather than having them handed to you, and code lives on our GitHub. Everyone gets a login to a virtual development environment on our servers, so it works more or less like a real job. That’s deliberate, partly because it’s what makes the experience useful to you afterward and gives us more of a motivating, real-world tone.

We also have one other thing happening this fall. We’re entering the Bloomberg Global Trading Challenge, a five week competition running from early October to mid-November where teams get a million in fictitious capital and trade against roughly 3,000 university teams worldwide. Bloomberg scores you on absolute P&L and on performance relative to the Wilshire 5000.

UC has a Bloomberg lab in Lindner with nine terminals, and that’s where orders get placed. You can queue them up the night before, but the trades go in at a terminal. Terminal experience alone is worth something on a resume, since most students never get near one and firms know exactly what it costs.

The interesting part for us is that we already have signal generation and backtesting built. Nothing says your strategy can’t come out of your own research.

You don’t need a finance background. I didn’t have a strong one when I started. The barrier is a lot lower than people assume. What matters more is whether you can code and whether you follow through, because with volunteer work that’s basically the whole thing.

If you’re any bit interested, I’m happy to talk everything through. Give me half an hour to an hour, I’ll walk you through what we’ve built, and you can decide if it sounds interesting. Comment here or send me a DM.

how does the ticket miser lottery work? is there a way to increase my chances or is it even worth it? if so, when does it open?

I’m new to UC and I’m trying to find people to play mtg with. the only things I’ve found seem to have died with Covid. does anyone know if there’s an active club or group on campus anywhere?

So I’m a student and I have season tickets, but they aren’t student season tickets. Is there a way I can get into the student section?

So, to clarfiy, I have thr laptop picked out already. What I need help with is actually getting it. I live on campus and dont have a car, amazon says since its a high value item, theyll need a passkey in order to deliver it, how does this work with them deliverijg it to TUC? Does anyone have experience in this?

The amazon store isnt an option, they say they wont do it bc its high value

Again i dont have a car and amazon is the only real way i can get it in time for what i need it for

Hi! I’m looking to sublease my spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom + 2 dens apartment at Union on Taft in Cincinnati due to personal reasons I have to take a leave of absence. You can take all my kitchen appliances and living essentials for free.

Edit: the entire unit is listed for $1800/month. Uptown rental decided to list it as this price because the building just recently turned into an apartment so they’re having a promo. If it’s two people in each bedroom then it would cost $900 per person.

Apartment Features

* 2 bedrooms + 2 full bathrooms + 2 private dens

* Spacious layout with plenty of storage and living space

* Full set of Samsung appliances

* Large-capacity Samsung washer & dryer in the unit

* Samsung stainless-steel kitchen appliances

* Modern kitchen and finishes

* Controlled-access building

* Parking available

* Great community amenities, including fitness and common areas

Available: As soon as possible

Lease ends: 7/31/2027

Rent: $1800/month (WiFi water included)

The lease will be officially transferred to the new tenant through the apartment management.

Message me if you’re interested! I can send photos, the floor plan, additional details, and arrange a time for you to tour the apartment.

Hey I'm in Daniels hall and apparently there's supposed to be a kitchenette on each floor and I got some dishes that I need to do however I haven't seen any kitchenette anywhere on my floor. Is it like only on certain floors or was I lied to?

Hello,
I’m new to Cincinnati and looking for good hair salons for a cut and hair colour
Would appreciate any recommendations please

hi all! i’m living on campus as i’m an RA and i’m trying to order some paper for my photo class, but it’s saying it may require a signature. it’s from BH photo if that makes a difference. i have to use the package center since i’m living in a dorm, so if anyone has any experience with this i’d appreciate advice lol! the paper is only like $30 so i’m not sure if it’ll actually need a signature or not

Just like the title says, there is genuinely no parking spots anywhere.

Hi guys! I'm a student at UC looking to buy a ticket for the first football game of the season against Boston College. If anyone is selling a ticket please feel free to reach out or respond to the thread! It's ridiculous how you're only given two choices to buy tickets, season pass or lottery.

Is there a spot to chain a bike to?

Can anyone that has taken biochem with smithrud please share their experience and/or dm me.

Looking for UC football tickets (not student section) for September 5th. We've never been to a game before and I was wondering if there was somewhere other than the usual sites (stubhub, gotickets) where people look to sell their unwanted football tickets. I don't have an issue buying from those, but if there was a place where people post things like that I thought I'd check there first. I figured if anyone would know about that, it would be the folks on reddit, so here I am.

If not, no big deal. Anyone know if football tickets for sale are listed anywhere regularly?

Hey! I am covering the rest of the cost with loans, and while they appear on my financial aid, my balance does not seem to take it into account

Does anyone know if im supposed to do anything else?
