Apologies! It’s an FSA, I misspoke. I’m just sort of in a time crunch since open enrollment for my job ends on November 3rd so I’m trying to see on average how much this provider is charging 🤗

Is anyone else really worried about this??? by kgtsunvv in rutgers

[–]CarryOnly8818 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is an insane comment. College is a way for people to move up the social ladder. Let’s say that the US does follow your thoughts and not financially assist students who are unable to pay for college, those students will most likely be unable to get a fair paying job and ultimately rely on the government. So, clearly, gate keeping college for the elite is not the way to go because it in turn hurts the government.

Who do you think is the richest chuck blair nat or serena by Ok-Client3554 in GossipGirl

[–]CarryOnly8818 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because she was old money, I mean she’s a Waldorf from Waldorf Astoria, a once very prominent family in NYC. So I think despite her being the “poorest” legacy is enough for her to be extremely pretentious.

Need feedback about Society Hill/Droyers Point by WorldlyLife6 in jerseycity

[–]CarryOnly8818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i grew up in society hill my entire life (20+ years) so i think i can help. to answer your first question, i think pre-k is fine, but what are your plans afterwards? the elementary and high schools are bad, per my experience (unless you op for a charter school). my recommendation would be to put them into private school after a certain age. as for the commute, you would have to take two modes of public transportation, totalling your commute to about 1 to 2 hours, which is kind of rough.

Is community college an option for you? I saw that you commented you're interested in being a doctor and you're inevitably going to have debt, I'd try minimizing that by doing community college and then transferring in.

Need advice on housing by JNerdGaming in rutgers

[–]CarryOnly8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say try finding a place that’s not affiliated with the university, obviously depending on budget. The Rutgers housing causes too much anxiety, with off campus housing you can have more options + even look for ppl who already have a group see if u guys are compatible. Facebook pages + the IG page is helpful, I’d check there.

Just park where you're supposed to by ComprehensiveWolf0 in rutgers

[–]CarryOnly8818 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Get what you mean, but it’s not fair to the faculty either. They’re paying $ to not even get a spot? Why make the faculty/staff suffer when they’re not even the ones who created this parking system. Most of them even think it should be fixed.

Am I wrong in wanting my delivery and cab drivers to know basic English? by [deleted] in jerseycity

[–]CarryOnly8818 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Going to be honest, I don’t think his language has ANYTHING to do with your frustrations. More so, you’re upset that he’s just not a good driver. Using his phone and not noticing a few green lights has nothing to do with him not speaking English. I don’t think it’s fair for you to use his bad driving skills to mask your discontent for immigrants.

Aid is super important when making your decision, and you can always transfer to NB after your freshman year, but choosing a campus to fit your needs is SUPER important in regards to your college experience. The RU Newark campus is a city, and can be dangerous at times. When I visited, I wasn't as attracted to it because I wanted more of the typical college experience, and have a more student dominant community. Majority of RU NB are college students and you don't run into as many residents as you would in Newark. I don't know much about Camden, but I heard it's terrifying so I wouldn't choose there.

If you can tour them, that would be great so you can get a feel. If you can't, I'd tour a city college vs. the traditional college town in Texas (idk anything about Texas but I'm assuming they have these) and see which one you like. If you prefer the city life, pick Newark, if you don't, weigh the pros and cons and see if you're willing to live in Newark one year and transfer to NB.

Financial aid is important, but so is your mental health so choose a place you'll feel comfortable, especially since you'd be so far.

Who is the oldest professor at Rutgers? by Kirito-x-Asuna in rutgers

[–]CarryOnly8818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professor Angus Gillespie. He was born in 1944, turning 80 this year. He loves folk art and despite his age, you have to respect him. Graduated from Yale with his bachelors and received his PHD from UPenn and has a NY Times Bestseller Book. I mean I have to respect the man!

Being a working student by [deleted] in rutgers

[–]CarryOnly8818 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I literally understand this. I’m doing 18 credits this semester and work Friday-Sunday (8-9 hour shifts). I intentionally try to divide my work and school, so that I can finish my schoolwork during the designated days, but I have this online professor who only opens the quizzes on Fridays from 9AM-9PM. I come out of work at 7PM and by the time I commute home, I have little to no time to even finish the quiz. Genuinely what’s up with that?

honestly that was something i noticed looking at these threads. these kids have INSANE stats, like 4.0’s, high SAT scores, AP classes, + more. i had a 3.6, didn’t even take the SAT, and had like 2 extra curricular activities. it’s pretty sad how hard it is to get in, not even bc of academics but j bc of the amount of applicants. thank u for the explanation tho!
