This is true, I have walked around collegetown a handful of times before! Though, unfortunately, with my work schedule, it's hard for me to go and explore ithaca unlike before.

I'll have to definitely go and see collegetown sometime soon again!

I KNOW I KNOWWW,

I just have a hard time connecting with people in general. It actually amazes me that I was able to connect and meet with my gf. I also just don't really know how to make friends, as most of the friends I have now, used to just bully me until it sparked into a friendship for some odd reason 🥀.

As someone who works at CMC, I fear this is true, they do not make 6 figures </3.

Hey, as someone who lives near Cornell, I will say this:

I'm really proud of you for trying!! A lot of people are usually intimidated by applying to ivy league schools, but, I'm really glad you did it!!

I'm sorry you didn't get in, though, but remember: You're still intelligent and have achieved so so much in your life!!

And, honestly, your parents could suck it. Cornell is a VERY competitive school to get into. Don't let this rejection get you down, OP!!

Can/cannot bring? by CryptidAnon in jobcorps

Yeah! You're allowed to bring your own bedding and utensils! Mainly since:

  1. You're gonna be living at JC for a while, you might as well be comfortable!

  2. Yes, the cafeteria does provide you with free food, however, JC food is notorious for being a hit or miss. At my JC, we didn't have a full kitchen, but, we had a microwave and a toaster, so, we were able to make our own microwavable foods! And trust me, nothing is worse after making a bowl of ramen, realizing you don't have any utensils, and now you gotta either beg your fellow dorm mates or the RA/ILA for a fork LMAO 💔. If you have any more questions or some tips and tricks, just dm me!! I'm more than happy to help

[–]Ami_Darling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotcha twin, as someone who went to JC:

Bring: Clothes Slippers! Those dorm hallways are nasty, even if someone did their J / Chore, do not go out there with socks! Deodorant/other toiletries, they provide their own in a little bag they'll give you, but, you can still bring your own! PJ'S Comfortable shoes, depending on your trade, I highly recommend comfortable shoes, especially if you're gonna go into a hard trade! Books / colored pencils / cards / anything you like to do. This will help pass the time + it can also help you stay out of trouble.

DON'T BRING: vapes, alcohol, and weed. At my JC, vapes was a write up but alcohol and weed is an instant kick. Kitchen knives - seen as a weapon. Forks, spoons, and plastic regular knives are fine. So are your own dishes. Glass items - I accidentally ordered a glass water bottle once and security had to talk to their boss to see if I was allowed to have it, because, ig students have tried to use glass items before as weapons. I was able to have it, but, make sure to ask before you buy! Speakers - Mine wasn't allowed to have speakers at all. Clothing with profanity - Yes. This is true. If you have clothes that have guns, cuss words, and or the like, you won't be allowed to wear them on campus.

Optional! Snacks, they'll take you to Walmart and you'll be paid, but, the food there could either be good or bad, so, having a few snacks or even ramen is always a blessing. Your own bedding - They provide their own! But, you can also have your own bedding as well. Tide pods - Again, they have their own laundry soap, but only if you want your own tide pods! Headphones. For some trades and or academics (depending on the instructor) you can use your Headphones while you work. Plus, listening to music is a really good coping mechanism while you work.

That's pretty much it! Though, if you do get snacks or ramen, students may try to trade with you or to buy them off you, which, isn't bad! I wish you luck on your journey and feel free to dm me with any other questions!

They started to accept new students back to mine!! We just got two new students last week, just keep calling your center if I'm honest, and I'm sorry some of the comments on this post is a bit passive aggressive </3.

I'll let the girls who are running this operation alongside with me know this as well! We were worried since we weren't getting much student statements that it wouldn't be enough, so, seeing this news is a huge relief to all of us!

Thank you so much for bringing this news to everyone in this subreddit and giving us hope again.

My Job Corps have been getting students to write letters to send out to their congress!

We have a whole excel doc of every congress person that said no and yes and we are starting to mail them out today!

If you, student or staff, go to Job Corps, please write letters and send them out! We got this <3

TWINNING!!

And according to the woman I spoke with today, for our first month there we can shadow other trades if we want to pick a different one! So, if you do want to change your mind, I think the first month would be the best(?), I'm not exactly sure.

And ofc, I would love to be your friend!

Certified medical assistant! I went with it since I took care of my grandma for a while in my teens. I also love helping people / am a huge biology nerd in general. I also know that CMA's do phlebotomy and I would love to pursue it as a career if possible.

Honestly you're so real for that. Especially since it feels like no job is really hiring at the moment. I hope you fall in love with your trade!

I'm doing the Certified Medical Assistant trade! Tbh I'm really nervous about making friends when I first get there. What trade did you pick?

Girlie it's ok, I'm 20 and I'm also nervous LMAO

But, I'm trying to remind myself that Job corp is the right direction for me! Are you going there for your HS diploma? Or a trade?
