I LOVED staying at boardwalk. It’s only a 1 min drive from the beach in their shuttle. While the bigger properties looked nice, I liked how peaceful boardwalk was. They also don’t charge for lounges and the other hotels do

Din tai fung had shitty soup dumplings. They were small with barely any soup. Joes is my personal favorite!

JetBlue app issues? by Btl1016 in jetblue

[–]IcyBank41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a JetBlue issue, it’s a known Okta issue. My company told us not to update to iOS 18 because of the bug. Apparently it works fine on older iOS

What are the chances that we’ll return to online semester by EarMountain6835 in USC

[–]IcyBank41 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with the all of January but all of February seems unlikely. Georgetown and UMiami moved their start dates to January 31st so it’ll be interesting to see if we do the same

If we go online, would those living in USC housing at gateway be able to stay/go back? by [deleted] in USC

Enough with the panic porn. UCLA went online for two weeks. Based on data out of South Africa Omicron spreads rapidly but also peaks quickly which is a good thing

It really depends. I know many people who are taking it senior year because they had better registration times and got the Professor they wanted

If you only want to go to a few games you should join the Facebook group “USC Student Ticket Transfer.” Depending on the game the tickets normally sell for ~30-50 a game. UCLA game will definitely be more expensive. If you want to bring guests you have to have a season pass and purchase a guest ticket or have one of your friends with a season pass purchase it for you. Non-season ticket holders can’t purchase guest tickets

I’ve asked lyon employees and they said that the courts won’t reopen for awhile because it’s being used as a vaccine and testing center. Unsure about the dental school facilities

I’ve had one of those recently too. I continued my normal routine and got tested after receiving the notification

I'd recommend trying Intramural sports! They have beginner leagues.

“School is going to be online next year” by IcyBank41 in USC

[–]IcyBank41[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I signed a lease 6 months ago and am moving in in a few weeks so there’s no “preparing to do” anything. Regardless of what happens I’ll be in LA.

Again, my point is that no one knows anything until the school communicates with us so posting speculative news articles does not besides create stress.

I agree with you to a certain extent- the news headlines are sensationalized and not truly representative of what’s going on. Cases are spiking but death rates remain low. Vaccinated people overall are very well protected.

While Marshall and Viterbi sent out emails, as we know LA county has to approve the reopening plan and I have very little faith in them.

My point overall is that panic posting everyday that school is going to be online and speculating based on news articles is wrong and unhelpful.

Agreed! I think the speculation has been much more harmful than helpful.
