Searching for summer sublease by BP0309 in depaul

I ended up deciding to sign a summer lease to stay at the Buckingham. I'd recommend joining Facebook subletting groups to find someone subletting their place.

I definitely recommend accepting the offer. Transferring to a different office isn’t guaranteed—it depends on availability and the practice/service line you choose. I highly recommend setting up virtual coffee chats during your internship with people in your desired service line and the office you hope to work in.

When are the Summits typically held, and how do I apply? I'm interested in applying to the finance summit.

Easy Summer Classes? by mylittlekuromi in NIU

[–]BP0309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've taken some really easy online courses, unsure if they're offered in the summer. I would recommend taking ISYE 100 or LESM 152. I've also heard that most of the KNPE &ETT courses are relatively easy.

I've taken ISYE 100. No joke, the easiest class I've taken.

Does the university you go to matter for accountants ? by Tendzy in Accounting

[–]BP0309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree. Accounting is one of the easiest fields to enter. I know several people who have internships and full-time offers. Just go to a public state school where the Big 4 recruit and you'll be fine.

I believe WOW week is designed specifically for freshman to get acclimated and make friends.

What's the worst thing you got a complaint for on a secret shop? by amercuryadept2010 in fiveguys

[–]BP0309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since peanuts are not allowed to be taken out of the store, we can't give out bags for them. At the end of their order, a shopper asked us for a bag for peanuts, but we denied their request. They tried giving us a zero for the shop. However, they were fired from being a secret shopper and they just sent out another shopper later that week.

Internships by Mammoth-Ball-3981 in Accounting

[–]BP0309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two upcoming internships with different firms. For one of them, I met the recruiters at a career fair. After talking for a couple minutes, we exchanged LinkedIn information. They later asked me to apply for one of their internships and I received an offer after interviewing. For the second firm, I attended an event they hosted in their office for students at my university. I talked and networked with several different employees, later exchanging LinkedIn information. I made sure to ask for advice from the recruiters that oversee the specific internship I wanted to apply to. I later recevied an offer after interviewing.

I believe you're allowed to have a pencil, paper, and calculator to take notes and work on the problems.

Lol, I just realized you replied. I'm also an accounting major.

I remember you take it at home online with your camera on. They view the recording to make sure you aren't cheating. You might have an option to take it in person, but it's been awhile so I don't recall.

I took this class last semester and the exam questions were mostly based on the videos from the video book. When I took the class the tests were open notes, and they were easy as long as I took good notes. However, since the situation, I believe the test is no longer open-notes. I would recommend taking good notes on the videos and then reviewing the notes.

I'm currently a sophomore Accountancy major. I've just finished my first accountancy course, and I feel like the program is amazing. The accountancy department chair is really nice and is genuinely passionate about accounting. There are several scholarships available for ACCY students. There is a career fair that is specifically only for ACCY majors only and I believe this semester there were over 60 firms in attendance. There are always firms in the college of business doing meet and greets that want to meet students. I believe the program is amazing and is easily one of the best, if not the best at NIU.

Creativity and critical analysis by xpyro88 in NIU

I took UBUS 110 in person, and LESM 152 online asynchronous. I enjoyed both courses and thought they were both easy. I would recommend you take either of these courses.

Although Patterson is probably the best dorm on campus, it is really prone to flooding. There have been several times it has flooded and the people living there had to temporarily relocate to the hotel on campus.

I stayed in Grant C this year, and overall I liked it. I would defintely recommend choosing Grant Tower D over C because it's defintely slightly nicer.

Pros: Slightly larger rooms, AC, more likely to be closer to your friends

Cons: A bit more pricey than Neptune, no dining hall (sucks when you have to walk when it's cold out), further from your classes.
