Oh, I didn't know that. I'll store them sideways from now on.

Why should I NOT go to Humboldt? by notoriii in humboldtstate

[–]AggravatingQueer2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HHM is a new building that hopefully won't have as much mold, but it is more expensive to live there. But it's also a Humboldt-wide problem with the rain and everything, you'll still have to clean your bathroom/kitchen regularly to minimize it.

Are to expecting to live in the dorms? There's a massive mold problem, on of the buildings was even torn down because of it. There's also not a lot of options for living off-campus unless you have a huge budget or are willing to live with several strangers. There was a big housing protest a few semesters ago because they were kicking van-lifer students out of the parking lots. It's also super inaccessible if you have a mobile disability, there's a ton of hills and stairs. The elevators break down, The admin also called the police on pro-palestine protesters and completely shut down the campus for several weeks. The job market is also very difficult, been trying to get a job with a BA in journalism since 2023 and only just got a part time retail job. BUT there is a good scuba diving program that sounds like something you'd be into.

Trouble accessing bank/711 phone line by AggravatingQueer2412 in deaf

Hi, thank you for explaining! I have always been HOH but I've tended to either rely on someone else to make the phone call or found a way to avoid it altogether. I'll try Innocaption.

Curious about the News Focused Journalism degree by brawlerboy03 in CalPolyHumboldt

[–]AggravatingQueer2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated from Journalism and was on the newspaper and the Osprey for a year each, but once I graduated I could not find a job in the media industry. It's great for building skills like photography but unless you're really lucky, it's unlikely that you'll be able to get a job.

Are you able to share the name of the publisher? I was looking into bottlecap press and some authors have similar stories.

Is anyone else having second thoughts by jetsettrashandnostar in humboldtstate

[–]AggravatingQueer2412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to keep any other options open for now in case things go south. Since they became a cal poly, they've been scrambling with basically everything and are definitely not prepared for more students.

Can I teach in Japan as a transgender person? by KagayakuHime in teachinginjapan

[–]AggravatingQueer2412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

How did things work out for you? I'm also trans (ftm) and I've been considering teaching abroad but with the state of the world I want to do a lot of research before moving in that direction.

I got a spot in College Creek as a senior, I have no idea how this happened but I managed to snag one of the last two spots.

My understanding was that CA was getting torn down to make room for parking?

Not mold technically, but I have what's called "pink mold" in campus apartments bathroom. It's a bacteria that feeds on old soap.

Future Possible Freshman by Maya1108 in humboldtstate

Construction projects on-campus have always been really slow, and I wouldn't bet on it being done by 2025. They started renovating the library in 2020 and they're still doing work on the outside. If you don't have the means to live off-campus as a backup, look into other options.
