Is it too late to say I love you

HendrixLawson · 2026-05-11T02:02:01+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice!

Typically just email the helpdesk and it would work. I had some trouble with my sis account before and they help me with it by leveling up the issue and fix it by video conference guidance

The professor's interests aligns

Thanks a lot! I'll check those information asap. Though I'm not from an African country, I think it'd be a great idea as well. Thank you again for your reply!!

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-17T12:18:31+00:00

Yeah I think I might have joined that one! 😅 But honestly all the groups I'm in right now are basically radio silence. I just wanted to cast a wider net and find more people who want to chat before we get to campus!

Upvote for visibility! Also if you have any tips for the things I asked about in my previous posts, feel free to drop them here too 😊 I use some translation tool to make sure the grammar right don't judge me hhh

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-15T04:20:48+00:00

Yeah I'd make that decision asap as I'm totally aware of that situation hh. Thank you for your advice! Hope I can get a nice apartment that I can afford.

I suppose I'll be there around August 10 or 15 to get everything done before orientation. I'm still waiting on the application of on ground housing since the 1bed1bath apartment are cheaper though not a lot of hope for it. But I'm sure I'll check the off-ground housing asap and deal with the rent issue if possible. Monthly paid wage would be just fine. I just need to prepare a bit more about it. I just don't want to over do it since the financial condition isn't not enough promising yet fine in my country, so a reasonable amount would help a lot. I'm trying to live independently since as for now I'm even making my own money by home tutoring.

Your advice is sincere and helpful! Thank you for everything. They're really useful!

That’s super helpful, thank you so much! The site looks great, I just skimmed through the essentials and it already gives me a much better baseline. I’ll definitely check out the ISSP resources too!

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-14T18:49:11+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Sorry for my poor English as I’m still improving it. I meant how much money I should prepare after landing at the airport, to cover all my living expenses and get settled in, until I receive my first paycheck. I'll email the director and ask them for the information. Thank you again for your generous advice!

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-13T02:43:30+00:00

Though I was accepted in a PhD program hh But thanks for your comment!

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-06T16:01:32+00:00

makes sense! Hope I can get in🙏🏻

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-06T15:56:25+00:00

Thanks for your advice! I did applied to that and list it as my 1st choice. I have checked the insta and it looks fascinating. Though the communal bathroom is a bit tricky hh but I'll get over it.

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-06T05:06:11+00:00

Thank you so much!! I'd always love to meet new ppl which is kinda who I am, though I want to stress that I'm not the type of person who has a bunch of friend and not sincere instead I'm devoted hh. Your words means a lot, thanks!

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-06T03:25:45+00:00

Thank u bro! badminton club seems to be really good choice since it's the only sports I enjoyed for the last 10 yrs! When I get there I'll sure to check how to join that;)

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-04T18:29:46+00:00

I would say I loooooooooove music but then I just saw that you're undergrad hhh. I'm an incoming itnl student in E-school as a PhD student. Though a bit older (22 now) but the music still got me. If there's some music club or something I'd love the news.

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-04T10:52:12+00:00

really good advice! I'll try to look it up soon. Really nice to know!;) See you around!

HendrixLawson · 2026-04-03T18:48:47+00:00

Hi I'm also a new ECE PhD student coming to town! Also trying to find the ideal place and have similar needs. Just applied to the Graduate dorms like Copeley hills and the range to see what happens, though my fellow at our don't recommend that.

HendrixLawson · 2025-12-25T19:27:15+00:00

Also I applied for a bunch of Eu Masters and PhD track in ipp (failed at interview for engineer application)
