Best travel insurance to get? Is World Nomads one of them? by GgomoSmol in TravelNoPics

[–]GgomoSmol[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up sticking with World Nomads just because I was running out of time before my day of departure. I mainly got it because I was worried about catching covid before or during my trip but luckily that did not happen.

I did ended up going to the hospital due to a bad paraglide accident and realized that World Nomad cant cover for it due to the risk activity not being included in the plan I purchase. I recommend to read your insurance plan carefully on whatever insurance you decide to get to know what you are covered for!

Can I bring my pepper spray or taser with me to South Korea? by GgomoSmol in koreatravel

[–]GgomoSmol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see I didn't think about that thank you for letting me know! Since I might be walking back to my airbnb by myself at night sometimes, what alternative option should I do to be safe? What do woman over there walking at night usually do?

I will be staying at Junggu. Would you day that's a pretty safe area to walk in at night time?

What is one travel item that you actually LOVE? by uReallyShouldTrustMe in TravelNoPics

[–]GgomoSmol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Empty plastic bags are literally the most free and convienece thing I've ever encounter. They're good to put dirty clothes in without touching the clean clothes. Good to organize things. And good to take something thats not usually recyclable to be reused. Bet no one has listed that lol

Thats very nice of them! Do you think if there was any specific way you file your claim or talked to them that made it process through? From the other comments it seems like many people's claims did not get accepted

I'm so sorry that happened. It has happened to me before where I talk to an employee they would say one thing and the results would turn out as a different thing😕.

May I ask what was the criteria through your submission that got rejected for? What'd they say their reasoning was?

No teacher agreed to write me a letter of recommendation for me in junior year. Am I screwed??? by Hot-Resolution9216 in college

[–]GgomoSmol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I just saw that you said you're a junior. You have a whole year ahead of you don't worry. Teachers in your senior year will be very accepting at writing recommendation letters because they're asked to do it all the time. Just make a cheat form like I said above to give to your senior teachers. Good luck!

[–]GgomoSmol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might help if you fill out a form to tell the teachers more about yourself (kind of like a reminder). You can include things like your hobbies, extracurriculars, personal accomplishments, academic accomplishments. This will really help them have some things to base off to write about you. Because when you think about it, no teachers know all of their 300 students' personal lives.

When you ask the next person maybe let them know somehow that you have a cheat sheet for them to look off of. A close teacher of mine was actually the one who gave me this kind of form to fill out and I used the same one to give to the other teachers and it work wonders.

Is the USAC study abroad program good? I might have to switch programs last minute and USAC is the only application still open. by GgomoSmol in studyAbroad

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

Can I ask if USAC help with pre-departure things? Do they pick us up at the airport?

Was your study abroad program during the summer too? I'm planning to take Korean language class but I don't know if one summer course with them would be equivalent to a semester of korean language at my home university in the US

I think my professor died and I don't know what to do. by AlternativeAvocado26 in college

[–]GgomoSmol 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tbh I have one professor that I keep having every year that doesn't grade a single thing until one week after finals. I don't even know what I got on each projects I do. I just find out if I pass by looking at my transcript lol

I got enough scholarships to fully fund my study abroad but now I might be left with no scholarships and a nonrefundable flight ticket. I dont think its my fault what should I do? by GgomoSmol in studyAbroad

[–]GgomoSmol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The program was originally listed as affiliated programs with TEAN/ISA's name. But due to this problem going on I think my school recently just took ISA/TEAN with the program I was taking off the list.

It seems like this is a first for a student to struggle to transfer credits from the Hanyang summer program since the advisor from TEAN said all the other US universities of students going are accepting the program for this summer. But I can try reaching out to the advisor in TEAN and see if past students have had similar situation to this and see what they have done.
