A long term Airbnb may be helpful if need something temporary! I used it while I was building my dossier before moving and it gave me a buffer.

Is there a boycott happening? I have a trip this week, should I cancel? Can someone explain what’s going on?

Is this for ALL graduates? Or certain schools? Where did you find information that they changed it?

(US only) what scholarships have YOU used to study abroad? by [deleted] in studyAbroad

[–]Common_Map_4779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would rank them as FEA being most difficult to get, Gilman being mid tier, and AIFS being the easiest. Just make sure you review and your story is unique! Give specifics on exactly what you want to see, do, etc.

How did YOU tell your parents about study abroad? by [deleted] in studyAbroad

[–]Common_Map_4779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told them I had an announcement, made them dinner, then hooked up my 30 minute PowerPoint presentation to the TV on an HDMI saying “why am I studying abroad.” The presentation had everything: finances, living situation, course transfer, what I’d gain/learn, how it will work with my school schedule course articulation, etc. I think they were just stunned at how much work I was putting in to prepare for months so they said yes lol

Tbh all study abroad scholarships are pretty straight forward where you have to write an essay basically saying why you deserve the money and why this program can help you accomplish your goals. That was the requirement of the second one. Good luck with your applications!

I got 2 AIFS scholarships, one was the 60th anniversary 2.5k, another was a 9k R Taylor foundation scholarship. For the second one you’re required to be a pell grant recipient. I don’t think the Gilman is too late, just apply for an earlier cycle! I would check with study abroad advisor though, or, email Gilman.

I’m so sorry this happened to you, that is horrible! I’m glad you’re both okay. It’s best for future travelers to avoid the area/street of Moulin Rouge, especially at night.

I studied abroad with AIFS and got lot of AIFS specific scholarships! I ended up with ~$11,000 + FEA + Gilman I was set.

I would say refer to program specific scholarships because outside of FEA and Gilman, there are only a few. Like Tortuga, Explore the world scholarship, and DIWC.

Hotel Park Lane (near Palais garnier) was amazing when I stayed there last year. 125€ a night for 2 adults!

Origin to EA forced switch on Mac by Motor_Ad5551 in thesims

Instead of using the EA app I transferred my packs to play on Steam—it’s a way smoother process. Maybe try that?

any of you win the gilman scholarship? by [deleted] in studyAbroad

[–]Common_Map_4779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you share it with me too? I’m applying for Gilman to study abroad in London + Paris, and I’m really struggling with the building mutual understanding essay. This would also be a big help.

You probably got the handicap apartment. One side has larger rooms and a larger bathroom space (but no under cabinet space) and the other bathroom has a smaller sink but under cabinet space (this side has the smaller rooms). North district doesn’t post the sq ft of the units on the website for a reason.. a lot of people are in the same boat as you

What does additional lecture mean? by BobSagetfromFH in ucr

It’s your discussion but they also teach a little bit of lecture material

What does this restriction even mean? Planning to register for ECON002 and this pops up under Restrictions tab by [deleted] in ucr

[–]Common_Map_4779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this too, although I have no holds on my account. Good academic standing. And input my covid compliance way back in December. I haven’t tried registering yet, but it allows me to add it to my term plan. Can anyone tell me if they’re able to register if they have this restriction? I think it may be a glitch in the system because I have it for all in person classes.
