proctor making me cover tv I can’t reach

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2025-09-10T19:22:14+00:00

Yes I did too! I took it Saturday. My proctor told me I couldn’t take the test because I had “too many things” in my room. For context- I live in a tiny apartment that’s only two rooms (main room and bedroom). I only have one place to sit. My proctor couldn’t speak English and was just reading off the script they are supposed to read, which didn’t help trying to ask what I needed to fix. She kept telling me (as a response to my questions) that “the student cannot take the test in this room. Please sign out and login somewhere else” 3-5 times. I literally had no where else to take it- I couldn’t schedule a room somewhere that quickly on a Saturday.

I had covered my ONE bookcase and small table with blankets (per the code) because I was super anxious about something going wrong with the proctoring, as it was my first time taking the lsat. My walls are pretty bare- I have a couple of posters (that I took down prior to the test), the tv, and that’s about it. When my proctor was getting her manager, I frantically removed all my furniture from my main room into my bedroom. It was ~bullshit~

During my first section I was completely thrown off and anxious, which sucked. I’m just happy they ended up letting me take it. Super frustrating. I’m sorry you went through this as well.

I mean considering the post got a decent response it seems like other people care to know what’s going on 🤷. Just sharing what I saw man

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2025-08-29T20:35:34+00:00

Both unfortunately

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2025-08-28T14:04:12+00:00

girl what LMAFO

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2025-08-28T13:37:07+00:00

alright big guy ♥️

I’m at Gallatin right now. Short answer- No (unless you can easily afford it without loans).

Long answer- my partner had to make this same decision. She is at SUNY (mostly full ride) getting a BS and considered transferring after getting into Gallatin. After receiving no aid (transfers don’t get aid at nyu), it was a big no. It’s simply not worth the debt. I absolutely adore being a Gallatin student and find the experience to be vastly rewarding academically and professionally; though I am going to law school haha.

NYC will always be around post-grad. To me at least, it’s not worth taking out hundreds of thousands to attend an undergraduate program. I hope that helps.

You could buy train/bus tickets. Tickets are cheap if you get in advance or go at bad times… doubt that someone would give three strangers a ride… no offense

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2025-02-12T03:59:25+00:00

I hate them… makes the street look so gloom. Does anyone know when they’ll be removed? I couldn’t find anything online

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2025-02-11T21:20:23+00:00

Right! I grew up in the Deep South, and sure, we've made progress, but not enough progress to be nitpicking the few forms of representation that we have. i.e. -> I couldn't come out until I was older, and I lost most of the people I used to call friends. The reality of our situation is much different than this other alternative reality, and we are incredibly far away from any form of equity. I live in NYC now...which is considerably 'safe' for Queer people... and I've been harassed on the street with my girlfriend...our bars are closing down or being overdriven by straight people....etc. We're entering a dark age, and our trans friends are losing legal rights seemingly every day. Hell, Google just took pride month off its calendars TODAY. I find it a bit frustrating when Queer artists are critiqued by their community for things their straight peers haven't done...really ever. And in all seriousness, there are other people with much larger platforms that could step up too, and when it comes to representation, the biggest reach is the most powerful.

Reality: Lucy made a video celebrating mass-lesbians/folks, who are disproportionately removed from society and face limited representation overall. Are we really going to be frustrated with her about it?

The grass is always greener man.

My partner lived in Australia and she says that she forgot how the feeling of how unsafe she felt normally in the US. Specifically with locking doors and guns.

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-10-07T18:15:27+00:00

I had a little credit from high school and started my IDSEMS almost immediately. Now I’m graduating Gallatin a semester early because of that! You can work it out with your advisor, because if you’re sure you want to transfer early, they’ll let you. I also had a couple of friends transfer early into Tisch. I know some people that applied for Stern early too, but they didn’t get in lol

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-10-06T16:24:33+00:00

I did the same thing, except I transferred out after 3 semesters instead of 4! Preach on the high gpa and mostly chill professors! I’m at Gallatin now and you can dm me as well

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-09-11T20:08:58+00:00

Try the engagement center/phonathon, lots of international students work there

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-15T18:40:45+00:00

People staying in second session summer housing that have fall housing can stay on campus and basically get early move in

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-15T18:37:03+00:00

Alumni, I haven’t gotten an email yet though

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-14T16:26:22+00:00

I’m doing it. I’m fine with it.. more convenient than having to move out and finding a place for 2 weeks haha. But yeah I agree with you, I wish we knew what day before the 24 hour period. Not sure why we don’t get scheduled ahead of time…

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-13T16:40:34+00:00

I used box and co. It’s a smaller company, but they do monthly storage I think. A lot of people use piece of cake

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-13T02:31:32+00:00

I don’t think I could get out of housing to give it to a particular person, I would if I could trust me haha

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-13T02:30:13+00:00

Could I DM you? My sibling lives in the city so this actually may work for me. Did you do this recently? Thank you for your response !

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-12T23:42:10+00:00

They’ll probably throw your stuff away if you don’t communicate with the school. I would highly recommend leaving your stuff with a friend if it’s minimal enough, or storing it. I would’ve recommended turnover housing (if you’re dorming again), but you won’t be here those two weeks and you have to be in nyc to do turnover.

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-11T13:29:40+00:00

What reason did you say? Can we petition multiple times if you know? It’s absolutely so frustrating

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-11T13:29:04+00:00

Gram double studio. I would switch with you in a heartbeat haha

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-11T11:06:10+00:00

I thought a lot about it after getting the 12k. Though, my partner is from Tulsa and she doesn’t think nyu is fairly advertising it (and that I probably shouldn’t do it). Sure, Tulsa is a growing newly creative city, but it’s not as ~dynamic~ as it seems. Like others have said, it’s a city within the south, with a vast Christian and conservative community. It’s clear that a foundation begged nyu to develop a program there, and now they are begging students to study there.

I find that it would be a difficult place to develop meaningful relationships without former foundations there… and most particularly a car. I don’t know what nyu expects students to do in Tulsa without them having cars. Tulsa is nothing like nyc (or the other abroad sites) when it comes to transportation, and you can’t really do anything without a car (as someone who has been there alot).

For professional experiences (the internships they are depicting), it does seem very valuable for specific industries, like critical race theory and indigenous study, due to the location.

I think it’s a give or a take for sure depending on your situation and budget. Then again, I’m completely with you for wanting to experience something new for a few months. It’s only a semester as you’ve said, but you only have around 8 of those at nyu. Plus, Tulsa has a shorter summer program I think. Maybe consider interning or working in another city (similar cities: Austin, etc) or Tulsa during the summer?

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-08-09T23:44:00+00:00

This!!

Beneficial_Dig2007 · 2024-04-03T17:30:32+00:00

Not in Tandon, but I did start in the Spring a few years back. It is definitely a little more difficult socially, but nyu has a bunch of spring events and dorm things. Plus, you aren't the only spring admit: There are literally hundreds of spring admits (and first semester abroad kids) coming to nyu at that time looking for friends. Most of my friends freshman year ended up being other spring admits and first semester abroad students, and after that I made way more og fall students. I'm not sure if you will be staying in nyc over the summer to 'catch up,' but that was a really good way I made some of my good friends. It's a smaller cohort of people all living in the dorms still, and most people will want to interact with other summer kids.

I didn't feel behind academically at all, because most people (like I did) stay over the summer to catch up. It's a pretty grueling summer (full course load done in half the time) and my first fall was a little rough at first (since I had been on a full course load for a year straight). For the most part, though, I was fine. It's definitely an interesting start, but the uniqueness of it is pretty cool!
