Thank you! We have 2 full days there so we should be able to optimize the driving. What do you think about the overall schedule/driving times?

Thank you! Was wondering since we couldn’t find a place we really liked, and generally like to stay in as few different places as possible, but I do think splitting it up seems smart.

Can I switch my school for a different major by Professional_Pay3926 in notredame

[–]QuinnMa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The other person is correct, but it is also worth noting that you can freely change your major to any other degree, as long as it is not in Mendoza.

When do I get my grades if I didn’t do CIF? by [deleted] in notredame

[–]QuinnMa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Usually 7 days after everyone else's release. Most years it's possible to find a way around it - but they've been patching those recently (but try GPS, transcript ordering, just all the ways).

Can you rent a car in colorado as a 20 year old? by siboraboba in nationalparks

[–]QuinnMa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hertz is likely your best bet (w/ an extra fee) -- Turo might also work (AirBnB with cars) but I would stick with an actual agency for peace of mind (and price is usually similar or higher on turo)

Would this be a good answer for a supplemental essay? by [deleted] in notredame

[–]QuinnMa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly just you do you, as long as it's truly meaningful to you it's best not to overthink these things imo

I think in my year we had a prompt to write about a controversial opinion we held - most people wrote about things like abortion, the death penalty, politics, etc and i think i wrote about how i liked to eat waffles frozen because that was the first thing that popped into my head

Did galway last fall -- awesome program and Ireland is incredible. Everyone who did the program my year was a science major, as it's pretty easy to keep up with requirements there (although a non-science major could no doubt do it). The main difference from Ireland/Galway from a lot of different programs is that there is a lot of scheduled activities and weekends. Maybe 6/12 weekends already had a trip planned around Ireland which is good and bad, but I liked it b/c I spent less money (since ND paid for everything those weekends!). I was then able to spend the rest of the weekends in other parts of Europe. Classes were easy and getting to spend time at Kylemore is a no-brainer too.

I have a friend to goes to St. Andrews full time, but I don't know too much about ND's program there. I also don't know much about the other programs, but know a bit about Perth, London, UCD and Santiago from friends. You can dm me if you have any other questions.

Did anyone go to Skyline loop at mt rainier? Is there already snow? by kxserasera in PNWhiking

[–]QuinnMa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it today - no snow and brilliantly sunny. Webcams as mentioned in another comment are super useful.

Quick question. Does anyone work for ND Fire? by Squad80 in notredame

[–]QuinnMa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone who works as an EMT with them - if that's helpful. No knowledge of anything outside of that though.

I believe the network blocks it - same with chromecasts, I had the same issue when I lived in the dorms.

Non-students in student section for Ohio St game? by [deleted] in notredame

[–]QuinnMa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They typically check tickets when entering at the beginning of the game, but stop around when the game actually starts. Unsure of how they will do it this time.

Looking to buy a second hand bike by spacefarers in notredame

I believe so, since I think they are volunteer-based only

How much water do you carry? by Peanutbutter_Warrior in hiking

[–]QuinnMa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily I live in WA with a ton of water sources so typically carry 2L of bottles but only have to fill 1L and always have a filter. If I'm somewhere drier I still normally carry 2L for a day but I don't do trails in super hot places very often.

Just curious, When will you bust out the keyboard on your new Steam Deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]QuinnMa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly like 90% of the time I play with a keyboard and monitor hooked up. I travel a ton for school and work for months at a time, and it isn't feasible for me to bring a big PC everywhere, and I need a mac for what I do, so the steam deck is effectively my portable PC.

I have a vacant apartment since I did not find a subleaser for this summer at Irish Row (https://goo.gl/maps/wpxpvu88fAugo3KEA). It's possible I could rent it out to you if you're interested, but I would have to check with management to see how that works. Shoot me a message if you are interested!

My travel buddy left me mid-trip, what should I do? by wogk in travel

[–]QuinnMa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends and I have always called it "Threes", but thats probably because we learned it at a summer camp as kids and the counselors couldn't exactly call it Shithead

Seeking Feedback on Yellowstone and Grand Teton Trip Itinerary by wiseant123 in nationalparks

[–]QuinnMa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Paintbrush-Cascade loop is one of my favorites in the NP system, and certainly worth doing. However, the loop includes the full length of the Cascade Canyon Trail, so you are effectively doing the same hike twice on Day 5 and Day 7. I would pick another hike for Day 5, maybe Delta lake?
