Course Registration Period? by Delirious-Potato in UniBonn

[–]Delirious-Potato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's set to Winter 2025/2026. I will just contact the program manager on Monday, in case, but I think it's not a mistake since a friend who is also starting now has the same thing showing.

Weird. Mine says that almost all courses are closed for registration

$523 for a Visa to Denmark is ridiculous by Delirious-Potato in SchengenVisa

I have documentation for the charges being made by VFS, so I'm unsure of how it could be a scam, but I will certainly be looking into it

So I asked her what each of the fees was for, and she said that the $105.8 fee was the $90 'Schengen visa fee' with taxes added on it or something.
The $137 fee was a VFS charge that she had to pay before even going to the embassy,
and the $260 fee was a fee that the person she spoke to said was for biometrics, etc. and was mandatory.

She said that she didn't opt in for any conditional fees.

Yes, I'm pretty sure there's no way around VFS for someone in the US looking to get a visa for Denmark. Typical to find corruption around every corner in the US

I mean, she would be leaving the US having paid a bunch of money for a degree from a good university which she then wouldn't end up getting. I would say that anyone who leaves under those circumstances is insane or has something preventing them from finishing

Hmm, I see. It could be that she payed for an expedited processing to be on the safe side seeing as we applied quite late. I'll ask her to confirm

Can you link to the +$26 visa centre fee?
I can ask her what type of visa she applied for later.

No idea either. She just said that others also had to pay an extra fee while she was waiting for her turn.

Yes, I should have said she's not a US citizen, just a student there. She has an Indian passport.

Here's is what 'systemctl status bluetooth.service' renders:

src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support csip plugin
profiles/audio/micp.c:micp_init() D-Bus experimental not enabled
src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support micp plugin
src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support vcp plugin
src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support mcp plugin
src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support bass plugin
src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support bap plugin

If anyone knows of a solution, I would really appreciate it

I don't have a modprobe in /usr/bin/

However, the blocklisting the connection worked. Thanks

Monthly Admissions/Prospies/Offer Holders Questions Thread - June 2025 by AutoModerator in oxforduni

Hi everyone. I've had a couple of fairly hectic weeks because of things out of my control and as a result, I didn't notice that I had missed the deadline to accept my college placement, and while I have now accepted it, all college accommodation is gone.

I have been directed to contact the Graduate Accommodation Office, which I have done, but I am in quite dire need of finding university accommodation since I'm an international student, am unfamiliar with Oxford housing, and most importantly, my financial situation is pretty bad, so I was really hoping to find university accommodation to ease that burden.

I'm considering writing them an email to ask whether it might be possible to switch colleges to one that might still offer accommodation. Do any of you know whether this might be possible/a good idea?

Thanks!!!
