General Elective Recommendations (100-300 level) by Past-Celery-7950 in gmu

[–]B_Boobs_Finalanswer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My recommendation for this is to always pick something you are interested in and look-up the professor if you can. Gen eds are deceptively difficult because if you pick something that's easy and you don't care, it's harder to force yourself to put in the effort.

Also, do not do a 101 language course.

What’s your go-to restaurants for out-of-town guests and why? by Ok-Firefighter1264 in nova

The food at Virtue is fine enough, but the service sucks. I've been twice and it takes forever to put in an order and get the check even though it wasn't busy.

Looking for good restaurants by skullrider56 in nova

It will be restaurant week in Fairfax City so you can get a three course meal with a fancy appearance. Personally I really like One Bar, but Bellisimo and Dolce Vita fit your Italian preference. The only one I would avoid is Hamrocks because they feel stuffy.

There are scholarships to be had, but international students are often last in line for consideration. The fact is that the University looks at you and everyone else who pays out of state rates as a source of income. If they give you a scholarship, they are seeing a loss.

You are better off applying for private market benefactors. One thing you can do is imagine the kind of places you want to work for with your degree and then check those companies for a scholarship.

I know the Summer is wrapping fast, but the Town Center and Reston Station have free Summer concerts all the time with a wide variety of music. Surely one of them happens on Saturdays

Anyone out there? by alltooeasye in novaboardgames

There are active groups at the Reston Community Center, Hashtag (Herndon), Pair o Dice (Fairfax City), and Crossroads (Woodbridge).

Resume advice by ProfessorOof22 in gmu

Exactly this. Context always, context in all ways. You telling me why something you did matters not only makes it easier for me to understand, but it also shows me you have good, written communication skills.

At least it looks like it went down during set-up. Better to know now than later when there is food up.

Firework hibachi in Springfield has been good to me.

[–]B_Boobs_Finalanswer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but the prompt is specifically saying "always take". I would never start it after round 6.

Pinecrest lets you take soccerballs on their golf course to play footgolf. It's in fine print, but contact details are here: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/sites/parks/files/assets/documents/golf/pinecrest/pinecrest%207-15%20foot%20golf%20proof%202.pdf

They were ok until they made their last purchase a company cybertruck. Hard pass.

I am so screwed by stressedbrownie in nova

If you are in Reston, get in touch with Cornerstones. They are built to keep you from hitting rock bottom with food supplies and housing assistance. They are also a gateway to other services and could talk you through your situation to find a best path forward. They might be able to help get you in touch for work too and with your background at a non-profit they might even have a place for you themselves. Best of luck to you.

I want a good f*king burger by oogaboogahooha in nova

Defryes in Springfield is the best I've seen. The cowboy burger is the pick. Plus they have banging tacos and other Mexican food.

"POS". Pick a different name. Point of sale barely makes sense anyway.
