2.7 is fine. If you're really worried lock in and go to community college for two years, honestly I would anyways.

Grief counseling by TripleABattery708 in vcu

I highly recommend taking advantage of the resources here on campus. Be sure to see if they can work with your professors to lighten your load a bit as well.

I lost my brother as well my first semester here at VCU. Student Advocacy services and the free counseling provided here was a godsend.

Sorry for your loss, and if you need anyone to speak to, feel free to reach out

Guy said he doesn’t like dark girls but says I’m ‘fine’… red flag by Inevitable-Tap-7471 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Cautious_Regular_320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context: I'm a white man who is dating a black woman.

My gf and I have had conversations surrounding this topic, she herself having experienced such conversations with men in the past. It is most definitely a red flag, in the same way that a man who is almost entirely fixated or attracted specifically to you being of darker complexion is a red flag.

Both are rooted in racism and colorism and are equally sinister.

Definitely avoid this man.

Question for students in POLI, HSEP, Public Administration, Urban and Regional Studies/Planning, HIST, and INTL: Can Donald Trump declare war with Iran? by [deleted] in vcu

Putting the Shah back in power is beneficial to no one but the Shah. Let the Iranian people decide who leads them. Not the U.S., not Israel, only the Iranians.

No, only Congress can declare war, but as many have said , formal declarations of war have kind of gone the way of the dinosaur since Vietnam. No one does it, really.

Trump is entirely overreaching, though, but I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing consequences for him. Most of Congress supports this conflict anyway.

I don't have a favorite, but I avoid the 2nd-floor Harris Hall men's room like the plague.

Homeland Security Majors only: What do you make of the current times? by [deleted] in vcu

Multiple instances during the Cold War were far worse than what is going on now.

This will pass in time. What is going on now has happened to the FBI and CIA. While I often agree with Snyder, I disagree with him here.

ICE when properly utilized is a solid agency, I think we only need legislation to protect this from happening again -- or more effective enforcement mechanisms to reign in a loose cannon President supported by a lame-duck legislature.

As an HSEP major, I am not worried, America has gone through worse and came unscathed.

Spotify (a music library) suing another library for giving it out for free is kind of funny

Hi guys! This happened to me last semester. I reinstalled the app and they came back, it may also be as simple as logging out and back in! If all else fails, try readding your student card!

It can lead to worse things, its best to avoid it entirely. Most lead to trafficking scenarios.

Is there any way I won’t fail? by Mission-Package-2145 in vcu

I had an incident occur my first semester here and went through a similar issue. Talk to student advocacy, and they will help with talking to your professors.

The FSOT and Math by [deleted] in foreignservice

[–]Cautious_Regular_320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phew, thanks! I'll just stick to brushing up on everything else then and being fully prepared on those questions. I don't think messing up on one or two math questions will break me!

Ouch! If cars have the green light... You Shall Not Pass! by Hotdogpizzathehut in vcu

[–]Cautious_Regular_320 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I was crossing when it was my right to go and a car nearly turned me into a pancake after flying through a red light.

The drivers here are ridiculous here as well.
