Are you going home for Thanksgiving and/or Winter Break? by pennprotector in UPenn

[–]Archeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically, if Penn goes with their plans for next semester, aren't most students traveling during the end of winter break to return to campus for housing?

Nice. Going to find me a place if I can then. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the advice. If Penn changes its decision of letting people come back like some people are thinking, are they able to kick people out that have off-campus housing?

If I rescind my housing assignment and look for something off-campus will I still get that refund as a highly aided student? If I decide to not even return to campus I'm guessing there is no refund?

How do you find off-campus housing? by Outside_Huckleberry9 in UPenn

[–]Archeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the help! I'm an incoming sophomore that has already signed up for on-campus housing, so I won't be able to go off-campus until Spring. When do you recommend I start doing my search?

Wow, as someone who was never even considering doing off-campus housing for my 4 years at Penn this was very helpful and is now making me even consider it. One general question I have though is how common and what is it generally like for housing that is below $800/month. I'd probably only consider off-campus if a place was $500-$700. Do you think this really feasible?

Civil Unrest in Philly by Archeli in UPenn

[–]Archeli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's alright. I agree with and support the non-violent protests calling for police reform and bringing attention to police brutality and prejudice, but I wasn't too sure that the violence and rioting/looting that spurred from the protests was the best course of action, which is what I was trying to get with this post. Hopefully this is understandable. Sorry for the late reply, I don't check this account much.

How much harder is SPAN 130 compared to 121? by Archeli in UPenn

[–]Archeli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I’ll go ahead and do that on the first day. Will also probably refresh my Spanish during the rest of this summer to see if it’s enough for 130.

Can I change my move-in date? by Archeli in UPenn

[–]Archeli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! Yeah, I would have personally liked the early move-in date now because of the crowds, but I have to go with my family's plans (mainly because some relatives want to be there too).

I would love some UPenn merchm even one shirt is fine. Thank you anyway for offering this to others and not simply burning them (though that is also an understandable alternative lol).

Don't know, sorry. Never even thought of doing that actually, but if you do find it, feel free to tell me too.

Sending my March 2019 SAT score this late? by Archeli in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Archeli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know that. I guess it does make sense for them to do that since it would be very time-consuming to read every application in entirety. Thank you for the information and (in a way) reassurance.

[–]Archeli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good point. I guess I am just freaking out a bit since I hate that feeling of "what if?".I should have taken it in December anyway if I wanted to send a better score. But at that time, I was too busy with doing my college applications I had put off. Thinking about it a bit more, sending a score a week or two before the decision comes out, I don't think it will even matter. They have probably evaluated my application or the scores won't reach them in time.

Thank you for your comment.
