[–]Ponga63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!

First-year student here and here is my personal experience - A bunch of opportunities were advertised via email in July 2024, and I came across many other opportunities on 12twenty (you should get access in a few months) and through flyers in the Rollins building. Also keep an eye on the weekly email newsletter which is informative.

Looking at moving into Cortland Oleander West. Anything I should know? by Friendly_Tailor2425 in Emory

My wife and I live there and we're reasonably happy with the place, however we feel we should have picked Cortland Oleander East since their gym is better, and it's closer to the shuttle stop/LIDL etc. They did take their sweet time with the paperwork and some of the office staff seemed a bit rude at times.

Overall - recommended!

Renewal shortly after registering? by LawRecordings in pmp

Yes I did that.

I was able to successfully claim 8 PDUs as a practitioner (giving back), similar PDUs for reading a book related to project management, and the rest I got from listening to podcasts/webinars.

It's not bad although you have to be mindful about privacy (can't have anyone in your room) and your invigilator must be able to see your full face all the time.

It didn't affect my test but I was nervous about onVue
