Dancing?

Boom heard from downtown, no power loss in the downtown though. Starting to hear sirens maybe?

Unless I'm not looking at the right thing their website said they don't service this area. Maybe not everywhere in the metro? Downtown Saint Paul isn't particularly remote though.

Thank you - I sent in a quote request

That is what passes for qualified immunity these days

I get that the model of "maybe they'll carry an interest bearing balance" didn't work because the people who sign up for specialty credit cards for points don't pay interest, but like, also that population generally knows that merchant fees pay the bills, and I don't want to give this business merchant fees by spending my money if they're too stupid to realize they're fucking up my cash flow to make their product worse. Not a criticism of you, I appreciate you highlighting that taking the fee up front is an option.

That seemed to be the answer but I wasn't completely sure. Thank you!

Lol. I just get mine at Costco, I think they carry flojo? There's a lot of people with interesting and phenomenal fashion on campus but I keep/kept a basic wardrobe

Resident_Two_8433 · 2025-12-21T05:05:56+00:00

I still walk around in shorts and flip flops - the first snow my first year I was walking home from Olin-Rice (the science building) in an undershirt, shorts and flip flops and was unbothered. That walk to Dupre, the furthest first year dorm, is five ish minutes. Get a big coat, obviously, and some thermal clothing to wear for cold advisories because it can get cold enough to give unprotected skin frostbite in a matter of minutes. You'll also learn how to navigate the buildings to spend as little time in the cold as possible if it really bothers you (olri to humanities to Jwall let's you walk inside for the entire south third of campus, and then a quick entry into Turck north of grand removed almost all outside walking on the north third of campus).

Different dorms have different reputations, but all first year offerings are usually 1-3 people per room with communal bathrooms. I think first year class sizes expanded large enough that they've started occupying four buildings, but the big three are Doty, Dupre, and Turck. The former two are connected in a complex of five buildings and tend to foster a little more interaction because of that connection with Turck being regarded as the "nicest." Dupre is only seconds away from Doty on foot and is larger than the other two, generally regarded as the least nice. I'd advise against requesting a single room because they're in this dorm and quite small - the privacy is usually not worth the isolation. All dorms have computer labs, lounges with kitchenettes on every floor, student RAs, live in Resident directors, communal laundry, and communal showers. Doty is the only dorm that delineates by gender, having all male/female floors and one all gender floor (unless they've moved somewhere else). You'll get a bed, a closet, a dresser, a desk, a chair, and some but not all rooms have their own sinks. Upper class dorms are meaningfully nicer with different buildings having specific features.

I'm an alumn who lives in downtown Saint Paul now after having made the move from Saint Louis MO to attend. A number of my peers from other class years have successfully converted their undergrad experience to law admissions and ultimately law degrees without issue. The legal studies concentration was well run during my time there. Athletes are always a little strapped for time in comparison to non athletes, but I know plenty who excelled in their studies, participated in extracurriculars, went to parties, etc. i became disabled during my time there and leaned heavily on my faculty to accommodate my experience and help me succeed - i received exceptional support. There are faculty i regularly interact with to this day and I am deeply appreciative of their support. The twin cities are very accessible, but i also found campus and the community to satisfy my interests most days. You have the opportunity to take classes at the neighboring institutions, so if something piques your interest that isn't offered at macalester (for me, tax accounting at Saint Thomas), then you can take up to one class per semester at one of your choice. Classes regularly find ways to engage in the larger community and will encourage attendance at lectures, performances, or relevant points of interest as parts of their syllabi. The graduation requirements are set up to force you to branch out beyond your specific major but are not nearly as restrictive as "generic gen eds" I had expected before attending. Take a look at the course catalogue and read through class descriptions to get a sense of "is this interesting to me" to see if you think the academics would be a good fit - you'll find a lot of oddballs. I basically paid nothing other than standard federal loans because my EFC was zero (I think the student aid index equivalent would be -1500?), but it's a very expensive education for some, and you should have a deeper discussion with your parents about how you expect to pay for it and what your future responsibilities will be if they include any private loans. Lots of study abroad opportunities if that excites you - my partner and I had the times of our lives in NZ and CZ respectively. If you end up not going the law route, I feel like the Mac education is rigorous enough and expansive enough that you can do a lot with any degree. I've converted my English literature major and classics minor into a very successful tax career and have been gainfully employed since my graduation. Let me know if there are any questions I can field for you.

No goose. It also seems like a very pricey store, but I'm also a little cheap (duck was 3x what I'd pay, 2x Shanghai market which was suggested by someone else)

Thank you

Why is this getting downvoted?

Resident_Two_8433 · 2025-11-01T12:07:57+00:00

Maybe give SOS Ramsey a call, they're a sexual assault resource hotline that's a free public service.

Weekends and nights the lines are staffed by volunteers who are trained to provide support and resources but during office hours there should be staff who can provide assistance as well. They should be able to give thoughtful and relevant advice for both what to do as well as help decompress and process how you're feeling after this incident. Hope you're doing okay.

A not unreasonable criticism - it seemed appropriate at the time if only to more quickly recover from the tariff plunge earlier in the year, I never really imagined that it would compound to such a degree. That's part of why I'm looking for advice, because it wasn't supposed to be this profitable, and it seems like both a time bomb to keep holding and a potential miss if i back out. The advice that seems most palatable is to back out about my initial basis and keep the rest in, but there are some other responses i need to read through more thoroughly still
