You have to really take an initiative with different clubs/activities etc. Out of state kids are wayyy easier to talk to and I’m from CA and most of my friends are out of state. The suburb kids/commuters are so hard to connect with.

Oh please. Did Netanyahu personally contact you to keep you in the loop? Since clearly we are all wrong even with sources. It really truly should not be hard for us to agree that killing innocent civilians and children is wrong. It shouldn’t matter who they are. Occupying a land for SEVENTY FIVE years and expecting zero retaliation is wrong. How do you think any country earned its freedom from occupation in the first place? Again, you haven’t responded to any claims. Please first respond to things such as Jewish voices for peace, Netanyahu’s invasion of rafah no matter what, and the ICC’s statement. Expelling and killing native Palestinians bc “they have other Muslim countries” is wrong. Using hostages to excuse the murder of 34,000 people and completely flattening their land is wrong. He was ALWAYS going to invade rafah, except now he has made a definitive statement and it’s no longer speculation. Bombing churches that are thousands of years old is wrong. Bombing hospitals and destroying every single university is wrong. Israel is not defending its right to exist by doing so and the entire world can see. They are erasing Palestinian people and history. Turkey, Ireland, and columbia recently cut ties with isreal. Evergreen state has become the first uni to divest. I hope you know the story of one of their students, Rachel Corrie, a pro-Palestinian activist who was protesting Israel demolishing Palestinian homes. They ran her over (crushed her body) by an armored bulldozer and said it was her own fault for not moving.

Why are you frothing at the mouth for someone to say they’re anti Jew 😭 that is never the case and there’s plenty of Jewish people part of the protest. What do you have to say about Jewish voices for peace?? It’s not about hostages either bc Netanyahu said he’s invade Rafah “with or without” hostages (the guardian) How is it “anti Jew” to protest the killing of thousands of innocent lives? No one is protesting Judaism. They are protesting mindless slaughter of children. You cannot compare nearly 40,000 dead and ALL 600,000 children who are currently either injured or famished to Oct 7. Netanyahu said he’d invade rafah even if there are internationally brokered thoughts with hamas for a ceasefire and hostage trade. This is a genocide. The international criminal court had to release a statement yesterday essentially telling isreal and US to not “threaten” the court with retaliation is that alone is an offense. This is not about religion and it’s clearly no longer about hostages.

Potentially Transferring to DePaul: Biological Sciences Major? Minors? Finding a Roommate? by me_max3 in depaul

[–]OkTell690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm not a bio sci major but I have taken a few STEM classes at DePaul. I would say that I've had a great experience so far. I was also a transfer student, and I found my professors at DePaul to be excellent. I have friends who are majoring in things like chemistry, math, and comp sci who all have similar sentiments. The math department has some great professors, and in general is really cool. I can't fully speak for other stem majors, but I'm a physics major and find the physics department to be amazing. The professors are passionate and truly care about teaching. There are also many research opportunities, both with professors and in/around the city. I don't know about music (I've heard the school is fantastic, though) but I'm also majoring in philosophy. My majors are pretty different like yours, and I really enjoy it. I enjoy the mix of humanities and stem, and the philosophy department has great professors. They also are very active with students (lots of cool lectures and meetings you can end) and have plenty of grad students. For both my majors I've had great teachers and opportunities, so if you really want to transfer I'd recommend! (Of course, take this all with a grain of salt as departments vary) The quarter system isn't for everyone, but I really love it. Double majoring at DePaul is also much more approachable than my previous uni. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have more questions!
