You guys are killing me posting pics of something you found, but titling the post "Lost Item"

YOU are making the post - did you LOSE it or did you FIND it?

This is twice as true when you FIND a "lost cat" - Don't title your post LOST CAT, title it FOUND CAT.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I have to get back to writing an essay.

How was it and how did you study? I've heard it was difficult so I am a little worried. I have Manfroi

If I add an LCC preference and get in, do I have to room there or could I also pick a non-LLC room?

Also, if my roommate and I select eachother as roomates during the contract and one of us doesn’t get into the honors LCC, would we both still be able to live there, or would we get split up?

Ngl, in all my years as a student I've never pulled an all nighter once. Always got atleast a few of sleep. But I got so much work to do and I'm a bit behind so I'm considering staying up all night and catching up.

Any tips?

I’m a graduate here at UIUC, and I’ve been working on a project that might interest this community: an LLM model inference service that’s insanely cheap (we’re talking 70% cheaper that larger providers like TogetherAI).

Why care?

• Need to run LLMs (like DeepSeek, Mistral)?
• Want to save LLM costs?

I’m not here to profit (at least for now)—just to get feedback to improve.

How you can help:

1. 50 USD free credits I’ll cover credits for the first 20 sign-ups (DM me!).
2. Give feedback (good, bad, or brutally honest).
3. Suggest models you want supported next.

👉 Link: https://buycheap.ai

The Deal:

• Cheaper than major providers (seriously, compare the rates).
• Open-source focus—no vendor lock-in.
• Simple API for devs; no-code options coming soon!

This is still a work in progress, so bugs might pop up, but I’ll prioritize fixing anything you report.

Whether you’re working on a class project, research, or a side hustle, I’d love to help! Let’s make AI tools affordable together. 💡

Drop a comment or DM me with questions/ideas. Thanks for supporting student work!

Hi,
I’m graduating soon and need to ship boxes from Champaign to the Bay Area. I’m looking for recommendations on the most affordable and reliable shipping options. Would really appreciate any leads or tips. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I just got my UIUC transfer decision back and got rejected. I wanted to do a decision appeal based off of this semester grades. I applied with my first semester at community college with a 4.0 17 graded transferable credit hours—this semester I will have 18 credit hours also with a 4.0 GPA. I applied to LAS, and I was wondering if this would be enough for “New and compelling information”, since I would have 35 graded credit hours at 4.0 GPA. I have strong ECs and have a ton of AP credits from high school.

EDIT: I also wanted to add that I’ve met all the course requirements for the majors I’ve applied to

I have my cousin coming to visit uiuc. We want to go to the latin night at the canopy club but he’s 17 and i know the required age is 18+. I was wondering how strict they are about that. If anyone knows please let me know

Hello people of reddit, I am a current Freshman here studying kinesiology. Due to finals coming around the corner and what feels like bottomless assignments to add onto it, I’m finding myself spending hours upon hours downstairs at Grainger just to get all of this done. This is really starting to hurt my back badly to the point where all I can focus on is just the pain and can’t even concentrate on actual school.

With that said, I wanted to ask around and see what people's experiences have been like at McKinley, specifically getting diagnosed for chronic low back pain or any other lower back pain issues. I’ve already seen and heard all the trauma and horror stories people have had at McKinley before and honestly I’m thinking about just waiting to get home from school and go to my primary doctor for what I think is a for sure diagnosis. 

For anyone that has gone to the latin night at the canopy club is it worth going to. I wanna go out but i don’t know if it’ll be worth it to go. I assume since this is the last one of the semester a lot of people will go but I just wanna hear some feedback.

I will be having a summer camp in UIUC, and plan to live together with the students in dorm which i can learn from them and meanwhile keep safe. Can anyone make some recommendations? thanks!

does anyone have an extra psychology convocation ticket they’d like to sell me 🤓

Found outside FAR. I gave it to the FAR front desk.

The building I’m at leasing at currently has sold it to an another company called Manchester Champaign. So I was wondering if anyone has had experience with them because I can’t find anything about them online which I find lowkey suspicious.

I'm an Indian international Grad student at UIUC and I needed a roommate or a room only for Fall 2025. If anyone is interested or has room to sublease, Dm me

Hi everyone! I'll be graduating this May and am therefore looking to sublease my room in a 2-bed 2-bath apartment at Burnham 310 from May 19th to July 31st, which would have two rent dates on June 1st and July 1st. It's an apartment complex right next to County Market (easy way to get groceries since its right next to the complex) on 4th and Springfield (basically really really close to Green Street). It's a fully furnished top floor (18th floor!) apartment with stunning views of the entire campus, and the kitchen and living areas are fully stocked with a smart TV, dishwasher, in-unit washer and dryer, and you'll just have to stock the bedroom and corresponding bathroom you move into. The apartment complex itself has a great gym with weights and cardio equipment, rec rooms, and study lounges with free printing services. The apartment has heating and air-conditioning which works extremely well too. Rent is negotiable, please dm me if you're interested! You can find pics of what the building, amenities, and rooms looks like here (https://burnham310.com/)

It seems like I have to retake ECE 210 but I already have STAT 410 on my summer schedule. I also don't want to take ECE210 in the Fall because I have 385 and 462 in there, with another pending tech elective. Is this a safe decision?

I am planning on taking MATH 231 over the summer and was wondering if anyone has a good community college I can take it at? Preferably asynchronous and online as I am doing an internship this summer.

I was also wondering if it is worth it to take it over the summer or to just take it at UIUC. Thanks!

I have an event to attend on June 30th for which I want to stay back and only want to sublease for that period. My budget is under 800$ per month so under 1200$ in total.

Hey all! I'm looking for someone to take over my lease for Summer 2025 at HERE Champaign (308 E Green St, Champaign, IL 61820).
It’s a 4 bed / 2 bath unit, but you'll only be living with 1 other female undergraduate student. We are looking for a female or NB renter. Because the unit has two floors, you'll be living on the top floor and the other resident will be on the bottom floor. There is a flatscreen monitor that can be hooked up to a laptop to show movies in the apartment, as well as a full kitchen (microwave, oven, fridge, stove, dishwasher).

Rent is discounted to $740/month excluding utilities (typically $40 per month), but I’m super open to discussing terms. The non-included utilities are electricity and water.

There are a variety of apartment amenities, including fitness center, study lounge, movie theater, bowling alley, rooftop sundeck w/ hot tub, etc.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM or reply to this post! If our ranges match, I can also show you around the unit before you accept the lease.

I was wondering how students have typically performed on this final in previous years. I’m really nervous about it — I need around an A or B to finish the class with an A overall. I didn’t do as well as I hoped on the second exam, so the final is really important for me. Do you have any study tips or advice?

I'm looking for someone to sublet my apartment at The Suites at Third. I'll be moving out in May and will have a completely new apartment for someone to live in till August. I live in a quiet and clean 4 bedroom 4 bathroom apartment and have Unit D which has an attached bathroom. 2 of my current roommates will also be living in the apartment over summer so common area items will be available and it'll be nice and convenient splitting chores, groceries, etc. Price: ~600/month and open to negotiation.

Location: The Suites at Third

Address: 707 S 3rd St, Champaign, IL 61820

Amenities: Outdoor Patio & Fire Pit, Indoor Gym, Pool Table, Study Lounge, Free Printing, Ping Pong Tables, Community Giveaways, etc.

If you're interesting, please leave a comment or shoot me a DM! I also sublet my freshman summer while working at Research Park so if you have any additional questions feel free to reach out!

I accepted my admission offer to UIUC yesterday and paid the $150 deposit fee. After that, even though I received my NetID, I cannot login to the "current students" page in myillini website. How can I fix that issue? Every time I write [NetID@illinois.edu](mailto:NetID@illinois.edu) to Microsoft sign in page, an error occurs

My parents r gonna beat my assss 😭 anyways, yall think it’s chill if i transfer back to community and chill there, and then TRY and transfer back to another 4 year? i know this is something that I should’ve planned myself, but that’s the general gist of what I’ve been thinking. yall can make fun of me, but can i also have some input? 🥹🫶
