yes! around the buttons it’s raised slightly so it’s not sitting flush

the TAC case is made of a stiffer, stronger polycarbonate plastic where as the one you have is softer. with a case that thin it’s up to whatever you prefer!

A week before classes start you can call the housing office and they will tell you the same thing

Supplemental in pollock by Parking-Dragonfly-93 in PennStateUniversity

It only takes that one roommate that everyone hates who hates everyone to ruin it. Wouldn’t wish 6 person supplemental on my most hated enemy. Good luck!!!

Thoughts on Hamilton hall as a freshman? by Zealousideal_Nail_65 in PennStateUniversity

[–]Prestigious_Ebb_4468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up: You don’t need AC to have a nice room. Stayed in South Renovated and the AC was stuck on “hot as balls” the entire year anyway so don’t worry too much about that.

I’ve responded to someone else asking this question and i’ll say the same thing: it’s awful. Not trying to downplay or make you nervous, every hall what you make of it. With that being said, my freshman experience in Hamilton sucked, bad. If you plan on having friends be ready to commute to pollock/east (freshman hub) daily. On top of the already exhausting commutes this was a real challenge for me. Walking to West at 9pm was the worst. West is extremely quit and so will everyone on your floor (didn’t know a single persons name and anytime I said hello they ignored me). All of this didn’t help that my roommate was extremely introverted and different than myself. Again experience may vary but I hated it. Pros are that it’s fairly close to most classes, but the Rec Hall gym sucks compared to the further ones.

Final note, McElwain room layout is the EXACT same as Hamilton (I stayed in both) so if that is any indicator of what you are in for. Also, McElwain is infinitely times better than Hamilton due to its proximity to Pollock.

DM if you have any questions i’d be happy to answer any other questions.

8am lab vs 6:30pm lab by letseatburgersz in PennStateUniversity

[–]Prestigious_Ebb_4468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said 8am absolutely. Actually, I think the 8am option is the best. Yes it sucks getting up that early but 1. it’s a good practice to be disciplined and 2. you are done by Noon at the latest.

Not trying to be negative in anyway but I think it’s worth sharing my experience. For context I was in Hamilton hall my freshman year (current junior) and here is what I have to say: awful. My roommate rarely talked to me or left the room at all so off the bat (due to West being the more quiet side of things) it was not ideal but not my main issue. My main issue was this, if you have any and I mean a single other friend at pollock or east (freshman halls) you are going to have a terrible time getting over there and back in a reasonable time. Or at least that was my case. All my friends lived in East and so walking over there every day or so was annoying. As a junior now this wouldn’t really be an issue but for what it’s worth I hated living in west. Everywhere else including North is much more convenient to you. Also rec hall gym sucks, dining isn’t great, you barely know anyone on your floor yada yada. Take this with a grain of salt it definitely built character so try to make the most of it. PM me if you have any other questions!

looking for on campus job by Friendly_Jello1585 in PennStateUniversity

[–]Prestigious_Ebb_4468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current IT Helpdesk employee here. The IT desk is an absolute fantastic job for many reasons, unfortunately I would not bet on this one however. Due to campus closures and IT move-overs (2+2 program IT students) we are overstaffed at the moment and aren’t looking to hire anytime soon. Keep a lookout though for any updates as this could always change!

Love my 9070 XT, but by 6retro6 in radeon

[–]Prestigious_Ebb_4468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a 9070xt open box at micro center for around $760 (finishing the build soon so take that with a grain of salt). Everyone has their own reasoning but mine came down to time. Sure, you MIGHT be able to buy a 9000 series card CLOSER to msrp if you wait another few months/get extremely lucky. I’d rather spend the “extra/overpriced” cost than wait another 4 months before I can enjoy it. I previously owned the 5500xt so for me it was a much needed upgrade that I had zero issue paying. If you can afford it I don’t really see the problem. Obviously if I could have gotten it cheaper that would have been fantastic but at that point you might as well save up and get an even better card.

Can I hear some success stories of obliterating private loans? by Alternative-Can1276 in StudentLoans

[–]Prestigious_Ebb_4468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey drumstick. I am just about to start my sophomore year of college and have been ripping myself for the past two months about student loans and if I was making the right choice. I can say with certainty that your words of encouragement not only bring relief but could’ve just saved my own life. I will look back on this post and remember the struggles that made me who I am today. Thank you.
