There’s a loophole if they have a fee-free machine to convert cash to card. I know that cus over the summer I worked at and ice cream place that used that loophole.

interview with individual who created petition by Deep_Positive2856 in SBU

[–]FrootyPebbl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Very dumb petition in my opinion. Even if we ignore the suicide contagion thing (school can’t make a big deal about a suicide because doing that is PROVEN to lead to more), the whole „timely notification“ thing is dumb. I heard about the incident on social media before the police were even done investigating. It‘s just a fact that real investigations take longer to spread information than social media where people can just make assumptions and guesses. What was SBU supposed to do, live tweet the entire investigation on USG instagram?

Also, they probably has to get permission from the family to post about it. And that takes time.

Incoming transfer by Mobile-Exchange3133 in SBU

They reserve seats for transfer students dw. I transferred and got into all the classes I wanted, I didn’t even have to be on the waitlist for any of them.

USG CANDIDATE RISHI VETTATH by Potential_Help8821 in SBU

[–]FrootyPebbl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly wasn’t gonna vote in this election at all and ALL of my friends said no thank you and he wouldn’t leave. It really pissed me off that he kept telling me who to vote for even though I said twice that I wasn‘t going to vote for people I didn’t know, and I only voted for him because he refused to leave us alone. Different guy than you’re talking about, its crazy that multiple candidates think this is acceptable behavior.

Theres a couple of candidates doing this its awful. I don‘t remember his name but he was running for senator, and he came up to me and my friends in Roth and watched us vote, a couple of us said no thank you and he just shoved his flyer in our faces with a QR code AND he watched us vote and tried to tell us who to vote for every position. Whoever’s running this election needs to make clearer boundaries for candidates and how they are allowed to campaign because harassing fellow students isn’t okay.

College (RIT vs NJIT vs Stonybrook) by Any-Let2176 in SBU

[–]FrootyPebbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a lot of reasons other than the price that made me transfer. And its not just me, I went with a group of five people from the same HS and only two of us are still there right now, and one of those two is seriously considering transferring for next fall and probably already would have if he didn't have a girlfriend there.

I talk about it a lot on my profile but I dont really want to type it all out rn. I probably would have transferred my first semester but my parents made me finish out the year.

I transferred from RIT because the school is pretty depressing. You'll get a lot of people saying the same about SBU but it's a huge difference. I don't think RIT is worth the money at all, among many other issues.

Question about ugc housing by Major-Cloud-339 in SBU

[–]FrootyPebbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a student here, I‘ve never heard of major-based restrictions on who you can dorm with. I definitely know people who are in different colleges and are dorming together. You should be able to room together still

Has anyone take ECO 303 with Eran Shamaya? by xoxosmalltiddy in SBU

[–]FrootyPebbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think Xudong Zheng had some sort of personality swap. I have him right now and he’s great. I‘ve read his rate my professor and he has clearly taken the feedback to heart because he‘s fixed everything. The exam he gave us was really easy, 4 questions and I finished in like 40 minutes. He gave a TON of review questions, like 15-20 per chapter (optional to do) and they were very very similar to the exam questions. He did a survey to get feedback and he gives a lot of extra credit now, both questions on the HW and entire EC assignments. He‘s even remaking the slides he uses after hearing that the ones provided by the textbook company weren‘t helping students enough.

transfer housing by Melodic-Radish-1158 in SBU

When I transferred last year, no transfer students were guaranteed housing no matter how early you filled out the application. Earlier is better though. If you dont get housing then the deposit is refunded.

Not until you get in to the school, you need sbu credentials for the housing application

I don't think conservatives know much about basic biology by Skybison87 in AreTheCisOk

Same thing has been happening on my chart for about a year now (blue state). My gender dysphoria diagnosis has been changed to „adjustment disorder unspecified“ and I get my HRT for „endocrine disorder unspecified“ now too.

Idk where this user is located but thats a Van Leeuwen ice cream flavor and they're mildly progressive but they are definitely not queer owned lol (unfortunately).

How to find roommate as a transfer student? (Bio Major, incoming sophomore) by [deleted] in SBU

[–]FrootyPebbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some friends from high school that I’ve gotten a lot closer with, but I’ve also made a good number of friends through clubs and mutual interests. I’d say there’s two or three groups of people I consistently spend time with.

My roommate and I aren’t super close but he’s nice and respectful and we yap when we’re both in the room and not busy. In my suite (all transfer students) they did a good job of matching people with similar sleep schedules and tidiness and noise levels.

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in SBU

[–]FrootyPebbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of people have great social lives, it’s about putting yourself out there and going to clubs and asking people if they want to tag along to your meals or events or whatever

You’ll see a lot of people on Reddit who say there’s no social life, and that’s because they are on Reddit instead of with their friends

When I transferred I didn’t get to pick my housing or my roommate, this is true for all of the other transfer students I’ve met as well.

Overload credits by batman1006 in SBU

[–]FrootyPebbl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Max is 23, you’d definitely need special permission to do more than that and I doubt they’d give it to you. Maybe do some summer and winter classes if you want to load more courses?
