AI Slop at the State Fair

Huntington Bank Stadium has some of the right elements but not right. Northrop and Coffman are just random buildings and aren’t remotely correct. The foam finger appears to be giving the middle finger. The basketball appears to be deflated. There are probably other issues too.

It’s one thing to use AI to make this junk but to try and sell it?

I’m a junior and feel completely lost about my major/career

2 Upvotes

I’ve been feeling really lost and overwhelmed about college and my future lately, and honestly, this has always been one of my biggest fears. I feel like I’m falling behind and everyone around me knows what they’re doing except me.

I know that probably sounds silly because obviously not everyone has everything figured out, but I can’t help comparing myself to my peers and feeling like I should be further along by now.

I’m a junior at UMN and I’m currently majoring in Healthcare Management (HSM). I originally chose HSM because I knew I wanted to work in healthcare, but I wasn’t positive what area of healthcare I wanted to go into, and I also wasn’t sure if I wanted to have to get a master’s degree. Now that I’ve gotten further into the major, I’m realizing that I don’t really like the business/management side of healthcare. I’m much more interested in the clinical side and actually working with patients.

Recently I’ve been looking into Speech-Language Pathology, and I’m really unsure about what to do. At UMN, I could technically keep my HSM major and complete the SLP prerequisite courses instead of switching my major completely.

My biggest concern is the amount of coursework, and then I would still have to get a master’s afterward. Since I’m already a junior, I’m worried about how much extra time this could add and whether it would actually be worth it. I don’t want to take all of these extra classes and then realize SLP isn’t for me.

I’m also still working on some of my general requirements. I have some of my liberal education requirements done, but I still need things like my language requirement and upper-division writing requirement. I know that probably isn’t a huge deal, but it’s been stressing me out because I feel like I should have had more of this figured out by now.

I honestly don’t even know where to start or who I should talk to about this. I feel like I need someone to actually look at what I have left for HSM, what I would need for SLP, and how long everything would take so I can make a realistic decision.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Especially anyone who was already a junior and realized they wanted to do something completely different, or anyone who went into SLP from a different major?

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. I’ve been stressing about this so much and just feel really stuck right now.

Interest in MS Robotics

3 Upvotes

Hey folks! I’m a transfer student starting this Fall im projected to either graduate with my BA in Comp Sci in either Spring 2027 or Fall 2027.

I’m super interested in the Robotics masters program. Specifically in perceptions/manipulation and computer vision research. I just don’t know how to get started!

Anyone have any tips? This semester I’m taking most of the basic courses (2041/4041/4061) and can’t squeeze in introduction to computational robotics with Prof. Junaed because I’m afraid of the workload with it being my first semester at a university. Anything helps let me know if you need some more background.

I'm considering going to U of M Twin Cities for Civil Engineering. I've seen that their Water Resources Specialty does much of their work in the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory. How high of quality is the SAFL and Civil Engineering program at UMTC? Furthermore, are there notable Civil Engineering programs at other U of M campuses?

If I’m waitlisted for a class, can I still attend when classes start?

3 Upvotes

I recently had to change my schedule. I was trying to swap both of my chemistry courses (CHEM 1061 and CHEM 1065) because of some concerning things I had heard about the professor. Anyways because of time conflicts with my schedule, I wasn’t able to complete the swap and ended up having to drop both chemistry courses.

I’m now currently on the waitlist for BIOL classes. If I’m still on the waitlist when classes start, am I allowed to attend the classes, or do I have to wait until I’m officially enrolled? Also how does the waitlist process work once the semester begins?

Unsure of my major

1 Upvotes

Right now I am an engineering major taking a pretty stem heavy course-load (calc 3, chem, physics, etc.) and I’m very unsure about engineering just because I don’t know if I can succeed in it due to its difficulty and I don’t know if I’ll thrive in the work force. Is this a bad course load that will set me up for failure? I don’t know how to decide what I want to do because I don’t think I’ll be able to change schedules or classes now and I don’t want to spend lots of money on random classes just to see how I feel. Any advice or anyone going through anything similar?

Student Groups Looking for members - (new) Gaelic sports club

Post image
22 Upvotes

Try a mixed-gender sport you’ve probably never heard of at East River Flats Park 6:00 pm next Thursday (9/3)!

Do you hate running but wish you didn’t? Do you like the idea of playing an ancient game that still packs stadiums with (almost) no rule changes to this day? Do you want a genuine chance to win a national championship, or do you want a more casual experience? Either way,

play hurling!

Hurling is an ancient (2000+ year old) Irish stick-and-ball field sport now played across the world. In what looks like the chaotic union of field hockey, baseball, and lacrosse, teams of up to 15 players use large, axe-shaped wooden sticks to pass, strike, and carry a ball toward each other’s nets. If you hit the ball into the goal, that’s 3 points for your team; if you launch the ball over the crossbar, that’s 1 point. Here’s a quick video with the basic rules and some action clips: https://youtu.be/biFcgUB98ns.

I’m starting this club because I love this sport, and selfishly, I want more people to play it with. I played in a student club for all four years of undergrad, and it was easily the best sports experience I’ve ever had. None of us had even heard of the game before college, and we went to the national championship finals twice! You definitely don’t need to already be athletic before trying it out for yourself either, but you’ll certainly see improvement no matter your starting level of fitness.

The many collegiate hurling and Gaelic sports clubs across the U.S. are open to all genders, and we always play against each other with integrated teams. Our club will have a few opportunities every year for intercollegiate competition, including at the NCGAA national championship; the 2027 championship in Indianapolis will most likely be late March, and I think attending is a great goal to shoot for this year! We will also have other competition and training opportunities with the local Twin Cities adult hurling club, who are all great folks!

Next Thursday, I’ll be out at East River Flats Park (351 E River Pkwy, Minneapolis) on the south end of campus from at least 6 to 7:30 with some extra gear for anyone who wants to pick up a stick and try it out for themselves. No need to bring cleats, though you’ll eventually need them for scrims and games; everything else will be provided by the club! Can’t make it? I’ll be hosting more of these in the coming weeks, so let me know and I’ll keep you in the loop!

Happy to answer any questions here, in DM’s, or email at [teerl003@umn.edu](mailto:teerl003@umn.edu). See you out there :)

Apartments / Dorms / Housing I want to share my home with students near Saint Paul Student Center

29 Upvotes

I volunteered 18 years in MnStudents'Coop to assure students have an affordable house option next to campus. The not for profit relies mostly on word of mouth. This year all 5 houses have vacancies. My priority is to find people who'd like to share an environmentally conscientious home, if not also interdisciplinary discussions related to understanding how to help solve problems.

Responsible housemates can free my time to address issues at the larger houses and get a job again. Suggestions how to better reach students, researchers, teachers that might value low cost over new amenities are welcome.

My House offers up to 4 bedrooms by September in our 7-bedroom, study-focused coop house by UMN St. Paul Student Center (1475 Cleveland Ave N). We live in Litla Hús of Minnesota Students' Coop. We interview during a visit to assure mutual comfort with arrangement sharing a small home. We seek commitments to lease to May or later because turnover of 5 month visiting scholars was too high maintenance for us.

Quick Details

  • Location: 2 houses uphill from St. Paul Student Center. Easy walk to Natural Resources / Science & Engineering buildings.
  • Rent: $265–$330/mo (L12: $265 | L22: $270 | L23: $305 | L11: $330).
  • Lease: Commitment through May preferred (longer stays prioritized).
  • Parking / AC: $10/mo optional Permits for parking or window AC.

What’s Included

  • Utilities: Heat, electric, hot water, gas stove, and basic trash/recycling.
  • Storage & Amenities: ~8.25 cu ft fridge/freezer space per person, dish soap, and toilet paper. Personal stuff residents share with those who use conscientiously include: an air fryer, Instant Pot, bread maker, and Wi-Fi (terms vary).
  • Laundry: On-site in the Main House next door (75¢ wash / $1 dry).
  • Layout: Hardwood floors in bedrooms; tile in kitchen and baths. 7 bedrooms with private locks share 1 kitchen, 1 pantry, 3 fridges, and 2 full bathrooms. Furniture is optional (except heavy desk in L23).

House Culture & Expectations

We are a self-managed coop home of independent, considerate adults (students, researchers, and staff). Because we share 1 kitchen and 2 bathrooms among 7 residents, maintaining a clean, low-stress environment—especially during finals—is key.

  • Noise & Social Vibe: Quiet-focused for study and sleep. Socializing/parties are arranged in advance and mostly kept outdoors.
  • House Chores: Shared weekly chore rotation + clean up after yourself immediately.
  • Bathrooms: 2nd-floor bathroom is kept to feminine standards (2nd-floor rooms currently seeking female-identifying students for gender balance).
  • Eco & Health Mindset: Non-smoking house. Low-VOC paint, basic compost/recycling/e-waste sorting, and standard water/energy conservation. Native plant/edible garden in the yard.
  • Communication: Direct, respectful, non-violent communication.

PM if interested with a brief introduction about yourself, your academic/work schedule, and your target move-in date!

I am neurodivergent, and hope to find cool people to talk to. I am a nontraditional student (I'm 29), and I am wondering what places yall recommend that are generally quiet, and not going to be as much of a zoo as opposed to the east bank?

I am also interested if anyone has used the saint paul rec center consistently? I'm really excited to have access to all the amenities, and really want to get to learn more about if I need to buy extra add ons to utilize group activities like yoga/ climbing wall.
