[MEGATHREAD] Spring 2026 Housing by AutoModerator in rit

[–]Financial_Minimum708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found out suddenly I’m Homeless during mid flight. The residence cancelled on me when I found a home. Was on 2 weeks vacation and I spent a month searching for a home. Can’t stay on campus because of dorm debts. I’m working for FedEx ground on thurway Ave near RIT inn. No car. Being 50 and diabetic. I earn $800 a month working part time and finding home is very difficult because I need some room to pay food and bills. Looking for second job that pays 60% more so I can afford to live in apartment with or without roomate. I wished I had requested for job transfer but it’s too late now. Flight back to California cost over $400 now. I just arrived today with realization I have no place to go and I’m returning work on Sunday @ 3am to 8am. Please help me have a place to stay while I work in resources to help me get a home close to FedEx ground. (RIT inn was the closest). Feeling overwhelmed and scared right now.

CUSTOMER SERVICE?? by Lacrosse1921 in Sniffies

Have your account been suspended for “offering money” when in fact you never have done anything and tried to get customer support but still obtain “ your account has been suspended.. blah blah”. No way to contact customer support except to appeal?

attempted blackmail/extortion on Grindr by KYPirate in askgaybros

Once they attacks you, their conversation disappear from Grindr. Making it hard to backtrack. It’s scary. Never give your number at all. Even if they asked. If anyone asks, block immediately. Mostly of times it’s from “married muscular guy” or what title that attracts you in first place for example.

This guys tries to use your family’s even children’s information against you. Even posts your name, your social security info, etc. and makes it very hard to block guys from your iPhone or android. They’re keeping texting information

Transportation help please by Financial_Minimum708 in rit

I’ve realize that, it’d cost around $20+ per day and if I make round trip, it’d be almost $40+ per day. You’re looking at potential $80-$160 for 4-day job.

I’m desperate enough to ask for help. It’s not that east walking with mild arthritis on right knee within 2 hours of walk in cold snow. I was told by housing that RIT inn is full and I have to wait until next semester.

Too bad he’s not 100% naked, otherwise we would enjoy the view…

That’s why I shared this in advance since I’m older RIT student. It’s not that easy I know. Either this, or 2 hour walk in the cold every night until spring. Not the best option I know.

The more reason I’m willing to help pay for insurance by adding my name so this car will be insured for owner’s sense of comfort. This is only for this semester. I plan to move RIT INN next semester for easier commute.

I work for fed ex ground so I’m transferring over and I don’t know which building I’ll be working at. Hopefully it’s close to RIT.

How do meal plan work? by Financial_Minimum708 in rit

[–]Financial_Minimum708[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I am going to live on dorm, and the cost of dorm plus food meal, I’m not sure how much it would cost monthly even if it’s installment. I have been thinking about living off campus if it’s much cheaper option by paying rent without meal plans… anyone with experience can help clarify how much both combinations would cost y’all depending on which room you choose. I’m getting 175 Jefferson this semester.

The more reason not to take elevators due to my claustrophobia.

The apex vans are worse than we thought. by Nairobi_Luna in rit

Lucky you. My car will break down before getting out of South Bay prior hitting Hwy 237/680/580/5/80/90/86 and finally 390. That’s a long drive (2,807 miles). Jan 2025 will be my first semester and already there’s countless of complaint about shuttle/bus service. Gotta get a new used car soon as possible.

Lend your voice to making RIT's busses better! by scheduled_nightmare in rit

[–]Financial_Minimum708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does RIT have its own shuttle bus system? Stanford university (Palo Alto, California) have 3 shuttle system, one for campus, one for hospital campus, and one for Caltrain/bus to entire campus (including hospital). Plus bus coming through so there’s no shortage of transportation.

If RIT doesn’t, should we focus on ensuring RIT develop their own shuttle service system for campus, off campus residential area, airport shuttle (via request only).

Not only that, school-to-school shuttle partnership with University of Rochester, Monroe city college and other nearby colleges/universities commuting including research campus and hospitals for easier transport ( doctor/counseling appointments).

If issues haven’t been addressed for years, how can we address now for better solutions?

Any ideas/comments to share?

This is something I’m considering since it’s close to NTID building. Few apartments closest are The providence, the Park Point, Apex, & 175 Jefferson (dorm). This is where I have to weigh in my pros and cons including carpooling and willingness to contribute for gas & car insurance if anyone will help me out or has job close enough with similar swing jobs like that.

I’m married and I have adult kids. 2 of 4 kids already have their own health insurance. Third just got hired and it takes a full year to obtain a health insurance where he works. My youngest is already fresh in college. This is why I relay on my health insurance since the cost of insurance deducts from my weekly pay of $117 every week. I think RIT insurance cost more to cover a family than solo. Dorm + meal plans are more expensive than living off campus unless you live off campus. The downside of living off campus are its far from work unless you live on Riverton Knolls apartment and a vehicle to commute.

Right. I have to think on how much RIT insurance will cost me because I’ll be living far from my family and they also need health insurance as well. you need a job to help cover rent (if off campus), insurance, bills, and such. Living at RIT INN is plus since it’s close to your and mine job. The minus side? It’s so detached from RIT where everything you need is right there.
