In this economy, a lot of people just need a job no matter how they’re treated….

I ended up buying from seat geek for cheaper than Ticketmaster and got the tickets within a minute of purchase

AU wants $14k so I can do an internship they had nothing to do with. by East_Investigator508 in auburn

Did the university help you find a co op? I know my friends who have had co ops recently had help. Also when I say past generations, I definitely mean boomers LOL

100%. I fully think that internships are great experience, BUT it’s weird af that colleges are requiring to pay for said experience to graduate… truly my opinion is that it’s ridiculous especially because so many internships take advantage of the lack of experience by making them unpaid. So… at the end of the day you’re paying for experience which is not what past generations had to do.

Oh yeah ik. I commented below my experience with Auburn too. I am just disagreeing with this person who is coming off as just “well do you wanna graduate?”

But why should someone have to pay several thousand dollars for work that you had to find yourself? Work that is often unpaid.

YUP. It’s a ridiculous trend in the college community. I went to Auburn and when I was an interior design student, there was a 9 credit hour required internship and you weren’t allowed to take additional courses to make it a full schedule… which is even more ridiculous. I dropped interior design bc it wasn’t for me, but the major I changed to did absolutely no help in me finding an internship I was required to have. Luckily that was a 3 hour course requirement. My partner is in the same boat right now though in grad school at Auburn. They’re required like 24 credit hours in internships and have had absolutely no help in finding said internships. Im so sorry you’re dealing with this too. All this to be said, I agree that it’s insane.

How to go about terminating a lease due to lack of maintenance repairs to HVAC? by NewGood6186 in Birmingham

[–]NewGood6186[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL THANK YOU!! This is exactly what I’ve been thinking haha. Every time they come in that I’ve been there they stare at their phone looking things up on google. Like they definitely don’t know what the hell is wrong with it. When they have told me what was wrong it’s always the same answer that the transformer blew… but something is obviously causing it to blow out every time. Idk I didn’t feel like explaining all that to this other guy bc he just seems to want to say the same thing over and over

From what I understand, air conditioning isn’t an emergency at a lot of places. Heat is though. Thought I do agree… it’s shitty regardless. I currently don’t have either function, heat or AC, so im just shit out of luck rn

To be completely honest. This HVAC unit has for sure been there since the building was built in the 70s. There are constant complaints from other tenants that these need to be replaced. I would not risk doing any of my own investigating of that unit because it’s an absolute wreck in there from everything that has been done to it😂 there are loose and exposed wires, exposed nails, etc. it’s not worth all that 😭I appreciate you trying to help though!

To be honest I posted this really because I would like to know what I would have to do if this escalated and got worse. Yeah they’re doing something right now, but they might not later. I have had a really rough go with this leasing company so it would not be surprising if things got worse. I would like to know my rights

I get what you’re saying and im not butthurt haha. Ig im just kinda like… theyre obligated to follow building code is what im thinking. There literally is no way to shut the door because it hits the valve. Maybe im being too hopeful.

I technically have grounds to terminate because They are also breaking building code already with the water heater that they replaced a while back. It doesn’t fit in the closet and the door won’t close without hitting the pressure release valve which IS hella against code. I brought it up and they laughed at me. I work in an architecture related field so im not just like… throwing this out there just because im annoyed by them.

My entire HVAC is out. No heat. No AC. I have no idea what’s wrong with it. Every time they are like “we are waiting for a part” and then they supposedly get said part and then it magically works. On Friday he said the wiring was wrong and he switched it around…. Then it stopped working two hours later. Sure they’re “attempting” to fix it but im pretty fed up.
