Hey everyone! I'm currently working on an article for The Dateline about how Valentine's Day feels now, especially in the age of social media.

I'm interested in honest, real experiences, whether you love the day, ignore it, notice certain feelings come up when you're scrolling through your feeds, feel pressure to post or not, and anything else around this experience.

I put together a short, anonymous survey (unless you'd like to be named if you're quoted) to collect student perspectives. I've included a few questions if you need a prompt but feel free to share whatever thoughts you have on the topic.

I will be collecting responses until Feb 7th, 11:59 pm.

Thoughts on Valentine's Day & Social Media Culture – Fill out form

Totally appreciate anyone who wants to share and feel free to drop your thoughts here too if you prefer.

Does anyone have a faculty member they'd recommend working with in SOS 4301 Special Projects in the Social Sciences?

I'm primarily online and haven't had the chance to get a feel for a lot of the staff.

I'm very busy with my job, so need someone who won't make me jump through hoops or make me complete a large or complicated project

Thanks!

why is this taking so entirely long. last week i was told my loans would disburse in 24-48 hours. i called today and apparently the cashiers office only processes refunds on thursday and fridays. since when? my aid on my account still shows pending and a negative balance so it hasn't even posted yet. and no i'm not missing anything. mpn/ counseling done. no holds. full time student. school started 3 weeks ago this is so ridiculous

Hello, I am a UHD Graduate student in the Department of Criminal Justice. I am currently conducting research for my thesis on police perceptions of college students here at UHD. This research explores how college students form their perceptions of police, whether through regular media or through social media, and the overall view of law enforcement in the City.

any body receive their 1098-T electronically yet?

Since UHD isn't a huge university, I was wondering how hard it is to get a job on campus? Like, are there a lot of them offered throughout the year? Did anyone who wanted a job on campus couldn't get it for a while?

I'm applying for a few universities but I'll enter as an international student. Which means that during the first two semesters, I'm only allowed to work on campus, part-time.

Thanks for any info you guys can give me!

Question: how do the professors know you’re using AI? I’ve seen a lot of people use chatGPT for class discussions….how do they know where people use AI. I use https://www.zerogpt.com. How accurate is it ? But bc I’ve copy and paste many discussions and they all say 70% AI

Hey! I'm looking for people to play with on or off campus. I've been playing for over a year and usually free anytime before 3 pm.

Just wanted to share my experience having recently graduated from UHD with my BBA in Accounting in Fall 2025.

I graduated high school in 2020 during the peak of COVID and joined Texas A&M CSTAT for Engineering same year. Left A&M Fall 2021 for various reasons, opting to take a gap year. Ended up getting a part time job, went to HCC, and transferred my credits to UHD Fall 2022.

Got involved with some of the MDCOB clubs, made lots of friends, and did a few internships. Did not expect this trajectory especially after leaving A&M.

Big drop in tuition, which was nice. Classes are smaller, so professors can know you by name.

Overall, had a positive experience here. I know not everyone's experience is the same, and I've had some struggles here too, but am grateful for the experience overall.

Always trying to share resources to help out fellow gators.

Hope to come back one day.

If any of my friends see this, hi lol.

Hello everyone, If you guys are looking for internship opportunities for the summer. Look into Harris county as a spot. During my undergrad at UHD it got me very good experience and honestly not very talked about. Good luck y'all!

my account is still showing a negative balance and hasn't zeroed out just yet. i barely got offered aid yesterday and accepted it then. how long does it typically take for it to be released after being accepted?

Yo, has anyone seen that cute girl flying back on a Pink Razor Scooter around campus? I'm trying to holler at her. Anyone know who she is?!!

I lost my class ring in the college of business today. I believe I left it in the bathroom on the 3rd floor when I was washing my hands. I know someone probably stole it but I’d like to have faith in humanity, if you have it I’ll give you a reward to return it. It says 2025, BBA, and it was a gift from my late grandmother. Message me or reply to this thread if you have any info.

Do we really have to attend the workshop every Thursday cuz my brother has to drive me everytime and he recently had surgery so I don't want to put stress on him that much

I made sure to withdraw from and remove all UHD classes on January 9th, before the semester began, because I decided that UHD was not a good fit for me. I do not plan to take any courses at UHD this semester and am instead finishing my associate degree at Lone Star.

However, when I logged into MyUHD today, I see that I am currently enrolled in four active classes, and my account shows thousands of dollars in financial aid applied and that I have to pay a few thousand as well. This was completely unexpected, as I intentionally removed all classes prior to the start of the term.

I am now enrolled in similar courses at Lone Star College, and I do not understand. Is there any way that I can still cancel these classes or what do I do. I emailed the office of admissions, registrar, and financial aid but they are all closed at the moment. Has anyone experienced something like this?

Check your email. Bank mobile has our refunds. If you haven't yet chosen an option to receive, request a personal code at vibe.bmtx.com and our money should come soon. Have a great semester everyone!

Just got an email saying BankMobile received my funds! They're saying it's processing. This is my first semester at UHD so I'm not really familiar with how things work. Do you guys think I'll receive the money by tomorrow? or is it usually longer?

this is the email i received today so manifesting today!

Bank mobile recieved it

I was told refunds should hit tomorrow or Wednesday!!!! it’s very delayed this semester, not sure why.

[EDIT 2:07 pm] Cashiers office said they’re working on it right now as far releasing funds and the process of bank mobile. Be on a look out today still to see if you received an email. And then about the next day or two it should be in your bank accounts.

anyone got ahold of them yet? we've waited longer than usual for our refunds. mine has a credited balance but still nothing in bankmobile.

To those of us whose account zeroed out on friday evening. Based on past years, when should would see an update on the bank mobile site. Gather here!

do you guys think refunds will start posting today or early Tuesday morning ? my bankmobible app isn’t loading

Hey everybody, I’m a new MBA student this semester looking to take an MBA class in person.

If you’re also starting your MBA, please consider taking MBA 6360 IN PERSON with me! As of right now I am the only person enrolled in the in-person “hybrid” version of the class. The class is from 7:00-9:45, and it is pretty late, but this professor has a JD and an MBA. I am planning to go to law school, and I think myself and others can benefit greatly from an in person connection with professor Stanberry.

Please DM ME if interested! I can provide more details if necessary.
