Hi everyone. I'm a prospective UD-Sinclair student living in Marianist Hall. Can anyone tell me how to get to the Flyer from Marianist so I can go to my classes at Sinclair? Thank you.

Anyone recognize these girls? I took the photo in '77 or '78 when I lived across the street from them.

From my impression, it seems as if Spina is unpopular (from the undergrad body) and im wondering why. I remember at a basketball game this past year they put him on the big screen and the student section booed him. Even at an internship I worked, one of the full time employees who once worked at UDRI said he couldn't stand Spina.

I guess some things that initially come to mind are the faculty layoff a year ago and the universities approach to make UD less of a "party school" (restricting bands, pattys day, etc). I was just wondering if anyone has any other reasons why?

I'm not sure what I need to pack as far as plates, silverware, bathroom items, etc. for Campus South next year? Anyone live there before and have some advice?

I’m a foreign-trained lawyer from Brazil considering the University of Dayton Online LL.M. program with the goal of taking the D.C. Bar Exam in February 2028.

I’m also a mother of three, work while studying, and run a nonprofit organization. I’m trying to realistically plan my course load.

For students who completed (or are currently completing) the Online LL.M.:

- How many courses per term did you take?
- Did anyone successfully complete 3 courses per term while working or raising children?
- Was 4 courses too much?
- How many hours per week were you realistically studying?
- If you could do it again, would you choose full-time or part-time?

I’d especially love to hear from foreign-trained lawyers balancing family and work responsibilities.

Thank you!

I’m strongly considering going to Dayton but I have also heard that it’s a big party school with lots of drinking and drugs. I personally think I’ll do some partying in college but will abstain from drinking when I do and was wondering what the college experience is like at Dayton for students that don’t drink. Is it still worth going to school there? I really like the community aspect but not as much the drinking and when I visited all of the students seemed really happy but I also want to make sure that I’m comfortable there.

What would it take for UD students to visit The Hub/Dayton Arcade more often? There's a variety of places to eat, and with the North Arcade opening there are additional vendors selling merch of all sorts. Art, prepackaged food, nick-nacks, etc. Certain places even have student discounts. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.

I'm also curious to see what y'all would like to see in the space that used to be Startup Grounds/Beyond Grocery in the front of the Hub. Suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I’m an Indian student planning to pursue a Master’s in Engineering (EE) at the University of Dayton (Fall 2026 intake), and I wanted to get some real insights from Indians currently studying there or recent graduates.

I have a few questions:

1. Overall Experience

• How is the academic quality (especially engineering)?
• How are professors and coursework?
• Is the university worth it compared to other similar universities?

2. Cost of Living

• What’s the average monthly expense (rent, food, utilities, etc.)?
• Is on-campus or off-campus housing better?
• Any tips to save money?

3. Job Opportunities

• How are internship opportunities during the course?
• How tough is it to get part-time jobs on/off campus?
• What about full-time job opportunities after graduation?

4. Managing Expenses

• How do you manage finances? (part-time, savings, etc.)
• Is it realistic to cover some expenses through part-time work?

I’d really appreciate honest opinions (both pros & cons)—I want to make a practical decision before committing.

Thanks in advance!

today i went to a campus visit at UD and i was completely amazed by the community. i have already been committed to UD but just wanted to miss a day of school and go on a college tour lol. however on my application i put that i wanted to commute and my financial aid and everything has been like sent to me without rooming and board, which was perf because i wasnt planning on staying at UD considering i live maybe 20 minutes away and its just up the highway. however i loved the dorms and seeing how everyone was just interacting with each other and we look at the food and places and it seemed really nice to actually get the college experience and live there. so im just wondering how should i ask to live on campus ? who do i contact ? and also do you guys think itd be a good idea to live on campus vs commuting ? let me know pls i love UD and cant wait to start there this fall !! 🙏

EDIT: thank you guys for the help, i've decided to live on campus. my new financial aid offer came in and they gave me a significant increase in my fafsa/grant so my increase for tuition didn't change all too much. thank you guys for the help so happy to be at UD this fall !

Hi all. I’m going into my junior year @ UD with a random roommate and I’m incredibly stressed out about it. There is a renter that I’ve been looking at instead called Nels Student Housing that would be a) cheaper than university housing and b) I would not have a roommate. I am concerned about possible issues with the landlord, including maintenance repair times. I’m female too so I’m not keen on doing a walkthrough in these locations by myself / worried about how this landlord interacts with women. Any advice or past experience would be appreciated. Thank you

PS I did request a housing assignment change from UD if possible and have been waitlisted for it.

incoming transfer student here, I wanna know if I can take evening classes at UD like I did at Sinclair

Hi everyone, I'm gonna be in the UD area for the fall semester for an internship and am looking for a place to stay for the sem. Lmk if anyone is looking to sublease their apt for the fall sem.

OSU vs. UDayton - Mechanical Engineering

Hello, I'm sure yall get questions similar to this all the time, but I thought I'd ask before I made my final decision.

So, currently, I'm on the fence between OSU and UDayton and can't decide which one is better for me. They're both around the same price and seem to be the last two options for me.

My mom seems to insist that UDayton is superior because of its smaller size and overall support, but I don't fully mesh with some of the Catholic views the university has. I just toured the campus a few days ago, and I liked it. I felt like they had a solid program, and I liked the small classes, but I just dont know if I'll fit in. While I know you dont have to be Catholic, I'm Agnostic, so I don't really affiliate with any religion, which I assume the vast majority believe in - I mean theres 100% Christians who aren't Catholic.

On the other hand, I like OSU and its culture, but I'm afraid I'll eventually fall and never get back up because of a lack of support and connection to the faculty. I don't know if I'll be able to perform in a crowd as large as OSU's. I mean, 46k undergrads is almost beyond comprehension for me, and I just have mixed feelings. I do have a few other gripes with it like mediocre dorms and food, but having people I'm friends with and a guaranteed good roommate makeup for it.

So, I'm wondering if anyone has some opinions for me on what I should do going forward...

One last thing I have been admitted to both of schools Honors colleges, and I'm wondering if those are even worth it.

Thanks 😊

hi! i know reddit is kind of a total long shot for this, but i am a sophomore at ud looking for a gym buddy to work out with. i have been lifting on and off for a few years, but would still definitely consider myself a beginner, since my form kinda sucks ngl. my schedule is pretty flexible so i can do whatever works for you. feel free to shoot me a dm if you would be interested.

I there somewhere near campus or medical exemption?

So for context I am an international student. I applied to Udayton on the 2nd of jan, when rolling admissions for RD start. It had been nearly 2 months, and I still hadn't received a decision, so I checked the website, and they had asked for a sponsor bank statement, which they didn't ask for earlier, so I uploaded that. Even then it had already been 11 weeks since I submitted my application, so like 3 days earlier I decided to ask them about it; they said that my sponsor statement was missing. I attached a screenshot and everything and explained to them that I had uploaded it and it had been accepted. Now when I checked today, they had removed the sponsor bank statement and changed the application status from "In review" to "Cancelled." I mean, why did they do that? And moreover, now that I am trying to upload the bank statement, it's not uploading on their website, even when I changed browsers and devices. I have mailed them about the same, so hopefully I'll get a reply.

Sorry if this is too genuine/sincere for this sub. I am a current student, it's my second semester at UD, but im 22m and a transfer because i took 3 years gap after my first few sems at Sinclair. I'm a commuter, and living on campus isn't an option for me for personal reasons. I want to make friends and do college type shi but I always feel like an outsider because I am not the hot, tall, short brown hair, skinny, frat/compsci guys that I always see on campus (if you're one of them, congrats, im jealous). I've never had the chance to make friends so im lowkey new to the process, but does anyone have any advice on how to meet people and do cool stuff? It's weird because im 2-3 years older than anyone I am around, and I lived a lot of life in those 3 years, but i still want to be chill, yknow?

Ok so how serious do you think they will actually be on the 28th, I have a few friends that don't go here but want to come down for st patties, they are thinking of just getting a fake wrist band from Amazon, also no borgs is actually criminal.​

hi!! my friends and I got a d unit in campus south for next year! what does it look like?? we can find the floor plans for other units but not for d

Hey all, so last semester I really started to reflect on my frustration with current learning apps on the market. Like many other university students, I was paying for a bunch of separate tools just to learn effectively: I’m an ADHD undergraduate Neuroscience & Psychology student with Mandarin and Chemistry minors so I have to give myself every possible boost that I can throughout the semester to maintain my flow state and avoid burnout, thus I use a bit of everything: flashcards (Quizlet and Anki), Goodnotes, google calendar for planning, voicememo for speech-to-text, speechify text-to-speech, plus the obligatory GPT & Claude subscriptions. One of my personal favorite workflows was uploading Canvas materials (particularly ones that were dull and boring and especially hard to digest as-presented), then uploading them to chatGPT and copying and pasting “Generate me an audiobook style transcript optimized for speechify without links numbers or symbols (instead writing them out for good text-to-speech optimization and clarity) explaining: *the topic at hand* “, before pasting the output into google docs, and exporting it to speechify so I could finally listen to those materials (be it while driving, doing laundry, walking to class, etc). 

As well as it could, this worked, well enough that I continued to do it month after month, but it was annoying, expensive, and everything lived in different places (I had to toggle between 3 or 4 applications just to create the audiobook I wanted to listen to, and I did this multiple times almost every day). Fast forward to now and I’d become so frustrated with this that I built an iOS app (“ePrescience”), which I’m hoping is able to evolve into something of a ‘learning operating system’ over time. It’s in its early stages, but the goal is to really provide something novel for other ambitious, time-conscious learners, who are tired of toggling between platforms and losing track of subscriptions. I can’t be the only one frustrated that the billion dollar companies which currently control the digital learning tools space don’t allow you to upload whichever basic common format (e.g. slides, PDFs, video lectures, etc.) materials you have, and simply transduce those materials into whatever study output you want (flashcards, summaries, study guides, audio, plans), especially given who easy it is to do with AI doing the heavy lifting at this point. 

Like the tools are there but why do I have to do so much work to transition from one medium to the next. That’s not the worst part either, when these big names do try and integrate AI, they usually do a very poor job at using it to its true potential. It feels less like these platforms are truly married with state of the art workflows and more like a chatbot has been bolted on to your favorite tool, not to mention the fact that it’s almost always a terrible chatbot as well, or that chatbot’s underlying model doesn’t have access to the necessary context/can’t make useful changes to your materials the way it should, especially given all of the agentic capabilities provider models have developed over the last year. If you're paying for ai-integrated cloud-synched study tools, the ai should be able to actually generate and edit flashcard decks, notes, etc. Many of the well-known platforms barely maintain their platforms or respond to new feature requests by existing users, and when they do release updates it’s usually to paywall existing features that don’t cost them anything meaningful to develop or continuously provide. I think that many of the more mature players in this space have simply become complacent or out-of-touch with what their users actually want, leaving much to be desired.

 What I hope to see becoming normalized for the near future is one suite of study tools, one personalized workflow, one subscription, continuously iterated upon and improved to use the tech we have to its maximum potential. I’m trying to understand more about what other things actually frustrate users so much about the current options, myself included, when it comes to apps/sites like Quizlet, Anki, Good Notes, Speechify, Chegg, etc. 

If you feel that disappointment yourself, and have complaints or ideas on how to unify discrete learning tools in your current study stack, what would you like to see in new platforms moving forward? Are there features or integrations I’m perhaps neglecting to consider here? I’m rapidly iterating and working tirelessly with my team to really chisel the app's current bugs for our first update. In the meantime I’m curious to see what ideas other than my own people have out there to improve on what’s available now, and to see if there are other apps out there that attempt to solve these sorts of problems directly. If you all have suggestions for my project in particular I’d love to incorporate them into future updates, or if you have tools you’ve built, I’d love to see how they compare as well. Everything I’ve built so far is out there in the open already, so I’m not just surfing for ideas, mainly trying to see how common these frustrations are and how many other platforms have attempted to address them. Right now we’re just iOS but planning to expand into android and web app compatibility, so if you know others on those platforms I’d be interested to hear what you’ve seen in those markets as well. My main goal is to gain awareness of what else is going on in this space, and to get a concrete idea of the specific ways it could be improved.
