anyone tailgating or watching the game somewhere in austin on Saturday?

It’s my 4th year here so I’m no stranger to the bad WiFi that occurs the first few weeks of classes but I’m going insane. All my classes are online except 1 and I’m so ADHD I have to do my shit on campus after my 9:30 or i won’t do it at home. WHERE CAN I GO ON CAMPUS WHERE THE WIFI ISN’T TRASH PLS!! Give me recommendations!!! Preferably not in the heat, thank you.

wondering if anyone else has dealt with something like this or knows what I should do next.

I’m currently in a CS class where I’ve watched the professor lash out at students and talk to people in ways that I felt were pretty inappropriate and disrespectful. None of it has been directed at me personally, but seeing it happen to other students has made me really uncomfortable being in the class.

I recently had a change in my work schedule that means I may need to leave class about 5–10 minutes early to make it to work on time. Normally I would just explain the situation to the professor, but based on some of the interactions I’ve seen with other students, I’m kinda anxious about even bringing it up.

So I emailed the department and explained what was going on.I asked if I could move to another section of the exact same class with a different professor.

They just never responded.
I know departments are busy, but this is pretty time-sensitive since the semester has already started, and the longer I wait, the harder it’s going to be to switch sections.

I’m also trying to deal with this before something actually happens between the professor and me. I don’t really think I should have to wait until I’m the student getting yelled at or treated disrespectfully before saying that I’m uncomfortable with the environment.

Has anyone at TXST dealt with something similar? Who should I go to next if the department just isn’t responding?

Hi, I play quite a bit of League of Legends and was wondering if there’s a club/esports kind or org to join. If anybody has any information or wants to send me their @ to play some games that would be much appreciated!

I’m a commuter and one of my classes starts at 6:30 pm. Most of the lots say that they are open parking after 5:00pm the lot near McCoy has the same sign but many of the spots are marked “red permit only” or “residential only”. Can I park in those spots after 5 or am I only allowed to park in the unmarked spots?

Really?

Dude why are some students wearing UT shirts on campus when we play them in football this Saturday. I mean I know we don’t have the strongest program yet but we’re definitely on the rise have some school spirit 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyone know of any free parking near or around the centennial hall? I have a chem class there. I’ve been parking at the commuter lot at the football building.

I am applying to txst for fall 2027, I am from nepal; i’m seeking for good scholarships, my gpa for the 4 years of high school are 3.65, 3.86, 3.63 and 3.39 (I have a heart condition so i messed up my maths exams due to which my final year gpa got toasted: i could only get a C in maths which brought my overall grade down). I gave the SAT and got a 1490; what amount of scholarship could i receive in your guys opinion.

is anyone else’s computer refusing to stay connected tl the TXST Bobcat WiFi? My computer only remains connected for maybe an hour before disconnecting then won’t connect again for a while.Its super frustrating

If you lost a pair of AI glasses yesterday on campus and you can describe the brand, color and what building you lost them (or just the serial number) in I can give them to you tomorrow.

If you know someone that lost theirs yesterday, send them this post.

Is there anybody who is doing fantasy football leagues? I thought I would see a club or smthn related to this, but I haven’t found anything. Y’all running any or know where to find any?

I'm a commuter and I bring my food with me to the campus and my first class is in Trauff-Huffman hall and the microwave I usually go to to heat up my food is all the way by the Einstein Bagels restaurant. Are there any microwaves that are closer by?

my friend and I were exploring campus trying to find a spot to watch the sunset and we were wondering if there is any campus roof access? we love going to the edward gary parking garage but we were just wondering if there was any on some of the campus buildings. probably unlikely but just curious lol ty

Is anyone else having issues connecting to the wifi on the third floor of Supple? I know wifi issues are common, but my devices haven’t been able to connect to the WiFi on the third floor for the past week. Wondering if it’s just me or not…

I’m curious, does TXST pay for certs such as security+?

Has anyone ever gotten accepted with a 3.17 science and 3.5 pre nursing? Do I even have a chance? I have a good amount of healthcare experience and I’m aiming to get a 80-90 teas score🥲

HI! I'm a freshman, and I'm new to town. I'm having trouble finding a job. I applied to a bunch on Handshake, but it was a while ago, and I only heard back from one of them, which was a rejection. I also applied for Chick-Fil-A in the LBJ, and got an interview, but they rejected me as well. In addition, I applied to two different positions at Target, and my application was rejected for one of them, and the other is still under review. I'm just wondering what places I could potentially apply to. I don't know town that well, but I am in walking distance to the Square, if that helps. I applied to Kerbey Lane Cafe, still waiting to hear back. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Hi everyone!
I am seeing different things about whether or not Thorpe parking lot is covered under the commuter parking pass. Can anyone confirm?

To recap my last post, I discussed Hope’s history and heavy shepherding. Today I’m going to discuss status, hierarchy, and power structure.

To understand why people stay at Hope—and even join staff, a position where they have to raise their own salary (and most staff can’t raise enough to support themselves)—it’s about status and incentives. We’ll start with women. Hope recruits women very heavily, particularly sorority members and athletes. This is partly because of how Hope handles dating. I think Nietzsche’s will to power is very accurate in describing a lot of Hope members’ life philosophy. Hope heavily monitors dating and controls it. I’ve already mentioned that Hope basically arranges marriages for staff; it’s in staff’s contracts that they have to date other staff (that’s important). They do this through the women. Women are indoctrinated very heavily and only hang around other Hope girls. This makes the barriers to leaving very high, as social circles are very important to us girls. If Hope can make it so that all of a girl’s friends are at Hope, she will most of the time fall in line and stay no matter what. They control the men through the women. That’s the reason most people at Hope aren’t permitted to date until later: dating means time away from campus, and that’s time away from recruiting. Hope sets up what women should be attracted to, and the men go after it. Hope women “want” a guy who’s involved in the church, high up (status), and approved by their superiors.

Members gain status by recruiting, obeying leaders, and participating in events. I will go into their theology in a later post, but right now the focus is on recruiting. This is why they go after frat guys, sorority girls, athletes, and overall good-looking people. If you can bring one of them in, that’s a really big status boost for you. This is also why people will go on staff to become campus missionaries who have to raise their own salary. It basically guarantees you a wife. They don’t necessarily arrange marriages, but they put a lot of pressure on you. This is where the approval of your leaders comes in. If you obey them, produce results in recruiting, and they like you, they will give you lots of benefits. So Hope heavily controls dating—you need the approval of your shepherd—and this is done to control campus time and give people an incentive to recruit hard. This is very obvious if you look at how members act.

A lot of the staff get drunk; they’ve basically thrown frat parties. I know this one guy who hooked up with a girl who’s on staff right now—do you think her boyfriend will ever figure it out? On top of that, the pastor’s own son got some girls pregnant out of wedlock. I’ve also heard from someone who was there longer than me that during his third service, “Pastor” Brian and his son were on stage because his son lied—literally beat the shit out of himself, then lied and said he got jumped. I’ve heard about two supervisors: one, while on staff, was taking late-night drives with some girl he was probably leading on; the other, while on staff, had some chick butt-naked in his bed. Sex, alcohol, and just overall fakeness are common at Hope. Just ask Pastor Brian, who lives in a mansion in North Scottsdale and doesn’t even believe in his own teachings, because he disobeyed his shepherds to start Hope.

To close, I’ll be going over their theology and why they believe what they believe. And again I ask Pastor Brian: You say that if your leaders say one thing and you hear another from God, you’re wrong—unconditional submission to authority. Then why did you leave Faith Christian Church to start Hope, only to be accused of the same things? Money, power, status, attention?
