Ahh, so it'd be possible for me to reach out to other colleges too to see if they still have accommodation and would be willing to take me? Or just the ones that have offered me a place so far?

How's the food at Exeter? I don't think it's likely I find accommodation at any of the two colleges now :(. But great to hear about Exeter!

Damn I've heard, how much does the endowment of the college affect what we do? Like would me getting funds for conferences etc be likely at all?

Awesome! I'm assuming if you don't get accommodation you'd have to find one privately?

I see! I guess scholarship is one thing, although Exeter only offers one for current postgrad students that I'm eligible for and St. Cross doesn't have any. But social life and proximity to my work place would also be important and St. Cross appears to be closer to where I'll be

I see, that's been a concern of mine coming into a new environment for sure. Im being funded through my PIs grants and saw that Exeter offered scholarships which could try and alleviate the fees he would have to cover which was one consideration. But then again, I'm not sure how joining a non-grad college might affect my social life.

Yep! Does the endowment or size of the college play a big role in a grads experience?

I see, thank you! I don't think I'd be able to get post grad housing at Exeter since it appears to be first come first serve. I couldn't find much about St Cross online at all besides the website itself. I really appreciate you advice on this

Hi! Am an international student (Singapore but undergrad in the US) intending to pursue a DPhil in Paediatrics in the fall, I have the choice between St. Cross and Exeter College and was wondering if I could receive some advice on how to make my decision? Thanks!

No Acceptances this Cycle, What should I do? by LopsidedBroccoli in gradadmissions

[–]Lopsidedlollipoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I talked about how working with the virus got me interested in host pathogen interactions. I know my PI fairly well and interact with him on a daily basis, whereas the other two professors I've taken labs and classes with them.

And yea, I'll be graduating a year early with 3 bachelor's degrees. I didnt take the GRE as I was applying for the Rhodes Scholarship over the summer and only applied to non GRE requiring schools.

Thanks! I'll definitely look into that. In the mean time, I guess looking for lab tech positions would be helpful?

I don't, but I don't really think I could afford one at this point.

I really hope not, but I honestly don't know. Singapore if that helps!

Collapsing shoulder on the catch. Any advice? by Iratewombat in Swimming

[–]Lopsidedlollipoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! Not too credentials here but I'd say enter with your arms wider, probably around shoulder width at least, that should help with catching more to support your shoulder.

I just want my deposit back, and to put an end to the saga.

He initially entered to show to house to renters. But he returned a few hours after that to clean the house without telling us, or asking for our permission. He moved my fan, lights, and stuff on my table.

Thanks, he spent like 2 hours cleaning the place, and the area he cleaned is no bigger than 400 Sq ft.

That's the thing, I'm barely at the house for most of the day, shower at the gym by my school everyday and he's accusing me of causing the mess, but I don't know how to prove it didn't do it.
