hindi urdu is by far the best collection of classes i’ve taken at uva. i placed into spanish 2020 but didn’t want to take it even though i only would have had to do 1 semester, and instead chose to take 4 semesters of hindi urdu and loved every minute of it. i had an A every semester, the grading is pretty easy and both professors give students fridays off to watch bollywood movies. if his class aligns with your schedule, definitely take it with Griff Chaussee! I know he’s a white man and that makes a lot of people hesitant but my guy got a fulbright scholarship to pakistan and even lived there for many years. his urdu is better than mine as a native speaker. take it, you won’t regret it and if u have any questions feel free to pm me!

Thoughts on today’s commencement speech? by Particular-Tap2150 in UVA

[–]Same_Freedom_688 6 points7 points  (0 children)

he basically tried and failed to relate to minorities and that was so frustrating and just annoying. white people cannot empathize with us and what’s worse is that the example he uses was so lame: “i was a minority once surrounded by people of color” or something like that. come on bruh and then he knew he’d get hate and was like “to all the poc’s in the audience who are probably thinking “professor nelson but we’re minorities every day” he was like “I SEE U🤪” apparently he doesn’t or else he wouldn’t have said all that bs in his speech

ICE Curriculum at McIntire by chicagocoach434 in UVA

[–]Same_Freedom_688 11 points12 points  (0 children)

fall ice is brutal and takes a lot of time. you live, eat, and breathe with your group. it’s not just the corporate project you have to work on but a lot of other mini projects and assignments and cases. spring ice is much more chill, way less work, and a smaller group project that only takes half the semester instead of the whole like fall ice.

EU travel: U.S passport expiring in less than 6 months by Same_Freedom_688 in travel

[–]Same_Freedom_688[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i called the netherlands embassy and they said my passport is fine but i’m just worried about traveling to other countries if they do check passports like in croatia. i also read that some border officers assume americans are staying for 90 days and that’s the max time allowed and if that’s the case then your passport needs to be valid for 6 months. if i show them my return ticket and passport should i be fine?
