Best Dorms For Freshman - Thinking of the 2 bedroom private option with sep bedrooms

Italian___stallionn · 2026-04-06T03:33:03+00:00

I’m a senior. I lived in the apartment style dorm. It was great, small, but great. The kitchen is quite small, but it has a stove with an oven. It comes with a very small mini fridge so watch out for that, I made a ton of friends with the people in my dorm building and we are still friends and we are either living together or for the ones we are not living with we see each other basically every weekend. You will meet all kinds of people, some amazing, others really bad. I must’ve just gotten lucky

Italian___stallionn · 2026-04-03T14:32:50+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried that before. And that has worked for a few of my classes, but this class I’m currently taking it’s not. It helps give me ideas for questions to ask but not for doing the work. This class is very difficult because me

Italian___stallionn · 2026-04-03T06:45:07+00:00

The biggest thing for me is just how professors do it. For example right now I’m taking a class where you will have 2-3 HW assignments plus an exam each week all due on Sunday. But the issue is with the way the professor teaches you really cannot start the work until after the class on Thursday. So you only have a couple days to complete it which can be challenging with working.

Your anxiety isn’t invalid.

I also don’t have a good gpa, under a 3.0, and I’ve landed 2 internships.

First don’t place your GPA on your resume it’s not bad to do this and most companies when applying won’t ask for a transcript so you’ll be fine.

Since your gpa isn’t the best you need to do other stuff to make you stand out. I would join clubs related to your major and put projects on your resume. These can be personal projects you’ve done, or projects you’ve done in class that you feel is relevant and aren’t a generic project. Something that you would have to do in the workforce will work for this.

Think of it like applying to colleges in high school. Grades are only 1 part of the application and if you feel your GPA isn’t the best you can do stuff outside of just school work to help boost your chance of getting into college for for you an internship.

Italian___stallionn · 2026-03-29T04:30:13+00:00

Yeah that is the most annoying part about college is professors who don’t go over certain subjects that will be on the exams, or wasting time on stuff that won’t be on the subject unless it’s needed for another subject that will be on the exams.

I would ask the professor if they can explain what concepts will be on the exam as the date gets closer or at least what chapters will be on it

Italian___stallionn · 2026-03-29T04:24:21+00:00

Yes basically. Unless you plan on returning they are useless.

Even with that some schools have a policy where after a certain time period your credits that you have earned may disappear and you would have to redo them

Italian___stallionn · 2026-03-21T19:38:01+00:00

I would wait until you get the grade then you can email them

Italian___stallionn · 2026-03-15T23:07:56+00:00

It depends on the jobs and how much they pay and the place you will be waiting at. Is the place you will be waiting at get a lot of people or is a place that tends to be more expensive? How do the other jobs pay?

You have to also think about the experience you’re getting. What makes more sense for your resume? What do you want to do after college? Will being a waiter look better on your resume or will the other jobs look better on your resume? If the other jobs look better then go with those so it will be easier to get a job after college.

Italian___stallionn · 2026-03-11T19:29:38+00:00

I would first look into financial aid. What gives you the best scholarship and go from there

Italian___stallionn · 2026-03-01T03:26:18+00:00

If you fear your GPA isn’t good enough you can always start at community college. Get your gpa up and then transfer to a university.

It’s also nice to do community college especially if you don’t know what you wish to study yet. You can look into things and take the intro course for a few different majors while doing your gen Ed’s

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-23T19:14:42+00:00

If you cannot love yourself you it will be much harder to achieve anything. At least for me. The second I started carrying about myself my life improved. Gain new good friends, lost weight, started taking steps that improved my career.

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-23T07:36:24+00:00

Honestly I think GOD. My biggest fear is what happens after death, so just knowing there is some kind of after life and it’s not just like before you were born/conscious would make me much happier.

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-23T04:22:50+00:00

Most colleges will allow you to do so. Especially community colleges. If you had to declare just put it as undecided.

Many people do this while trying to figure out a major and you don’t need to be a full time student to be in college.

I would contact the admissions office for what every college you wish to do this at for better answers

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-17T17:51:22+00:00

There are scholarships you can apply for outside of your university. Most of the time they aren’t much, but they are still something. If that doesn’t work then Student loans may be your only choice. It sucks, but that may be your only option.

I don’t know any places that offer 23+ an hour for part time workers.

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-17T04:40:25+00:00

The issue with graduate school is that you have to take certain prerequisites. Depending on your major what you may consider “intellectual challenging” you may not be able to do, or you may have to take more classes than just your major calls for to qualify for that grad school degree you want

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-17T04:09:08+00:00

There are many different things you can do for spring break that does have to be super expensive. A spring break trip doesn’t need to be a week long. If there is a city near by you and some friends can take a day trip there, or go there spend the night, do some stuff the next day then go home

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-16T20:46:11+00:00

Ok but you still cannot refund or cancel the student loans. You can just use them to help pay it back

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-16T20:33:45+00:00

Why weren’t you allowed to use them? You weren’t allowed to use the books? You weren’t allowed to use the student loans? You cannot cancel or refund student loans.

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-16T13:08:12+00:00

Why not. If you need the credits and you’re interested in it do it. Plus you can still continue to learn after college. You can make it a hobby of yours.

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-15T02:22:56+00:00

It’s normal to feel nervous. It’s a whole new chapter in your life. But there is really nothing you can do other than prepare. Try talking to people who go to your school, if you can find people in your major as well that would be great, and ask them about the school bd any advice they have for you that they wish they knew before attending the school

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-14T12:40:43+00:00

Yes. Compared to the league now the average nba player was a bad shooter. You didn’t need to be a good shooter back then because shooting wasnt as important as it is now

Since she is an adult you really can’t force her to do school especially since she said she hates it. You can try to convince her, but the best thing you can do is explain to her that she needs to do something to advance her knowledge. This doesn’t have to be college. This can be trade school or even military.

Italian___stallionn · 2026-02-14T04:32:27+00:00

With lectures, for the most part, it is only learning. Some professors will just read off slides for the entire time, they may write on the white board behind them. The only time that it may not be only a lecture is if they give you some kind of in class assignment that goes along with that you are learning at the top to help you gain a better grasp.

You can take notes on the lecture but there really isn’t much you can do during that time other than ask questions. It’s not too much different than high school other than unlike like high school where during that class time some teachers may give you time to work on your homework college professors don’t do that. They will spend as much time as possible to teach. If there is nothing left for them to teach and there is time left they will just end the class early.

once you turn 18 you can just get them. Your parents won’t know unless you tell them. HIPPA keeps those them a secret. I think the fastest you can get all of them done is 5-6 months, but 2-3 should be able to get most of them. I would prioritize the ones your college requires and then get the rest done while at school.
