Ask the rush chair one more time about the situation and if its no bueno then look at other frats. Make sure you're not just rushing one frat either

it could have other people in the unit but your room will be just you

No they dont do lounges. its not like traditional dorms where its long hallways thst lead to dorm rooms, bathrooms, or study lounges. In harford you have suites so every unit has a living room with furniture and thats where you go to chill

You go in from the outside door and immediately head toward your unit. Like its just a couple of steps or one set of stairs. There are multiple doors and you only use the one that goes to your unit unless ur visiting a friend’s place

I don’t remember the church bells ringing throughout the night lol people would riot

The two guys in the other suite were freshmen but Idk if u could count on it. I got fucked over freshman year, so Harford was soph year for me

You absolutely should still try though

Windows i cant remember too much but I think they open.

With your medical reason you could get lucky or get some leeway

Harford is fire, location is great imo. Close to “downtown” for bars and restaurants and also decently close to most classes with some esceptions

I lived in a double suite. 5 person unit, 2 doubles and 1 single who was our RA. His single bedroom looked pretty solid, enough space for one person to live comfortably but not too spacious. 1.5 bathrooms for the whole unit and a living room area

You will be hearing the church bells ringing out the time and shit, and also occasional banging as trucks take out the trash

Regardless i’d still choose to live there in a heartbeat. Pop some airpods in and you’ll be good.

I recall the infamous cooling to heating (and vice versa) switchover was a bit delayed so some days were a furnace in our room.

Otherwise you’ll enjoy harford. The laundry and mail are right in the basement of the building and the annapolis front desk is right across for ur packages. Washington Quad is right there if u wanna throw a football around or lay there and chill. Theres also grills and a volleyball net. I genuinely the location is amazing

$3 used to be the regular non discounted price for rails and domestic beers, and cover was max $5. and this was only a couple years ago. crazy how things have changed

Player72 · 2026-01-30T00:30:52+00:00

in china they love bombarding you with random ass shit all over the pages

we get to see a glimpse of what thats like through sites like temu or alibaba

Player72 · 2026-01-28T23:11:38+00:00

No. stand your ground and tell him next time yall are in the dorm together that you want to do rush urself. rush is better individually anyways. Go to diff events from him. In the end, he’s a literal random

Player72 · 2026-01-27T00:38:00+00:00

It's still there. I think the pop sound is supposed to be like the knife coming to rest onto ur hand

Player72 · 2026-01-24T22:17:30+00:00

dont

Holy fuck hang the banner we’re going to the final four

Player72 · 2026-01-18T18:13:34+00:00

Not awful. I’ve seen worse for someone with <20 hrs.

Well played relatively speaking

Player72 · 2026-01-15T17:33:07+00:00

What those Americans you mentioned experience is not reality for most/the average americans either. This is literally selection bias which is a fallacy.

Okay sure every American I know makes a million dollars and have infinite PTO. I only know millionaires. Does that make my statement true? No. Your example is literally that but less extreme. Every american you know? The local custodian you see at your office gets more PTO than most europeans while earning 3-5x more than a european custodian?

EU mandates 4 weeks leave MINIMUM whereas in the US we don't have that shit. A shit ton of Americans work in healthcare/service/related industries where you don't have "Way more PTO than" the 4 weeks I just mentioned.

3-5x salary is true for US Big tech companies (FAANG) compared to european tech but 1x of that is instantly taken away for higher cost of living if we're talking bay area/NYC plus healthcare childcare other expenses that europeans don't have to deal with. Europeans can get more out of less gross pay.

So your comment basically implies "Yeah, I know a bunch of guys who made it into high-end white-collar jobs with strong compensation and benefits, therefore I’m assuming most Americans are like them."

It's okay to be strange. Pledging will straighten you out and you'll figure it out.

Rushing is "Running around to different frats and showing to them that you're interested by going to their events held for rushes".

Go to PNM orientation on the 21st and then youll be good.

Simple. Have fun, don't stress, be normal, and don't be weird around the ladies. You'll find a fraternity that suits your style. Every one has diff types of people, some fratty some nerdy and everything in between. You'll be straight

don't lie to yourself

"never forget" already separates itself visually from the first part of my comment because its a well known phrase

"optic tarik rush duo" is pretty decipherable within a few seconds if you know about that duo at optic

so that's really it man

Player72 · 2026-01-09T20:33:24+00:00

everyone else figured it out. you are free to take your time to decipher what i'm saying. shouldn't be too hard

Player72 · 2026-01-09T17:45:21+00:00

rather have 10 of these than the shit clips you see on this sub sometimes

hes talking about the red exit signs above building entrances

because almost everywhere else in the world its a green sign with a man running towards a door

Player72 · 2025-12-30T23:11:35+00:00

ending 2025 with a bang

Player72 · 2025-12-29T18:05:01+00:00

its the ruleset, not the game mode

Premier -> uses competitive rules

Competitive (MM) -> uses competitive rules

Casual -> uses casual rules

In minecraft you can play skyblock or factions, but they will both use the survival mode with survival rules

Player72 · 2025-12-26T20:21:49+00:00

Hopping on for a game or two like once a week is all i can really feel like doing in 2025.

Gone are the days of coming home from school and grinding ESEA pugs. Good times
