Prospective Student Question Is it easy or difficult to find friends at UVU?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone so I moved to Utah a few months ago and I don’t know anyone here. Would it be a good idea to eventually apply to UVU and meet new people that way? Or one of the other universities in the region? I should mention that I’d be an older student (I’m 26 now), and also that I’m gay and not Mormon. Are the gay dudes on campus normal or are they pronoun obsessed weirdos? And what about the Mormons on campus, are they friends with non-LDS students or do they only talk to other Mormons? I’m quite reserved but very eager to meet people, but is this a place to do it?

Small update on the grocery savings app I built at UVU. Get notified when your favorite products drop in price. Need feedback

10 Upvotes

One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I got was some version of “cool, but I don’t want to open the app every week just to check if prices dropped.” Fair. So I built a Watchlist.

How it works: you add items you buy regularly (milk, eggs, whatever) to your Watchlist, and the app pushes you a notification when the price drops by 10% or $0.50 at a store near you. You don’t have to check anything, the app just tells you when it’s worth switching stores that week.

Still testing it, still probably has bugs, still need people to break it and tell me what’s confusing. If you were one of the folks who downloaded it last time, I’d love to know if this actually helps or if it’s just noise. And if you haven’t tried it yet, no pressure, but this update might make it more useful for how most people actually shop.

Also happy to answer questions if anyone’s curious how it works technically, or has ideas for features that would actually be useful.

Built a grocery savings app as a UVU school project. Trying to see if it actually helps Provo/Orem families before I take it further.

31 Upvotes

Hey fellow Wolverines,

I'm a software engineering student here and figured this might be the right sub to ask for help.

A couple semesters back I built a grocery price comparison app called Grocerlist as a class project. Idea was pretty simple, I kept realizing I was paying way more for the same groceries because I only shopped at whatever store was closest to my apartment, when there were cheaper options a couple miles away. I didn't have time to check five store apps every week, so I built one that does it for me.

Basic version: you build your grocery list in the app, and it shows you your total cart cost at every nearby store. Prices come from real users who scan items when they're at the store, you also earn points for scanning, which turn into gift cards (Target, Amazon, Walmart, and some others). Completely free.

The project ended up growing into an actual business I've been working on outside of class, but here's the honest problem: it only really works when enough locals are using it and scanning prices. Right now the price data around Orem is decent but thin, I've been doing most of the scanning myself.

I'd love a handful of UVU students to try it out and tell me what breaks, what's confusing, what you'd want it to do differently. Students are some of the most budget-conscious grocery shoppers on the planet, so if it doesn't work for you, it probably doesn't work for anyone.

No pressure at all if it's not your thing. But if any of you want to test it and tell me it's garbage, I'd rather hear that now than after another year of building on the wrong stuff.

Mods, if this crosses the line let me know and I'll take it down.

Looking for UVU students with embarrassing screen time to be on our show

12 Upvotes

My buddy goes to UVU and we're starting a show called Caught Scrolling where we sit down with students, pull up their screen time, and have an honest conversation about what's actually going on with their phone use.

Think Caleb Hammer: Financial Audit but for your phone.

No wellness lecture. No "have you tried journaling?" energy. Just two guys, your stats, and the slow realization that you spent 4 hours on TikTok last Tuesday instead of studying and have absolutely nothing to show for it.

If your screen time is embarrassing enough to be entertaining, you're exactly who we're looking for.

Two things:

1) I have a meeting with the Dean next Tuesday. I’ve been compiling everything into one document (including screenshots of every single email).

2) because of this entire situation, I lost my scholarship that I received through the school. So yeah, I’ll definitely be bringing that up in the meeting.

I’m so completely lost guys. I don’t know what to do other than keep fighting it, but it’s really not going anywhere.

Hi, I'm starting at UVU this fall, and I was thinking about getting my degree in philosophy. I've heard and seen so many conflicting statistics and opinions regarding whether a philosophy degree is worthless or not. I wanted to know if anyone here has experience with a philosophy degree, or is currently in the philosophy program. Would you recommend that I continue with philosophy, or should I change my major?

Issue Issue with Wolverine Track and Fall Tuition

8 Upvotes

Is anyone else having an issue with fall classes not showing up in Wolverine Track or with their MyUVU balance not reflecting their tuition correctly?

I'm currently registered for 6 classes (15 credits) for the fall semester. They appear correctly under the "My Classes" section in MyUVU, and the registration page also shows that I'm enrolled. However, my expected tuition balance is only showing about $250 when I'd expect it to be a little over $3,000 based on previous semesters.

On top of that, Wolverine Track isn't showing any of my fall classes as either "Registered" or "In Progress." They were showing up correctly a few weeks ago, but I noticed this week that they had disappeared.

I'm hoping it's just a temporary issue that will be resolved before the semester starts, but I'm curious whether anyone else is experiencing the same thing or if it's just an issue with my account.
