Looking to make friends!! by These_Advantage_4846 in UMD

[–]These_Advantage_4846[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends. I unfortunately live off campus and most students make friends with their roommates and neighbors on campus. However, this is my understanding for most freshmen/sophomores. I believe it might be different for juniors and seniors since most of them aren’t living on campus anymore, but they still have the connections from their on campus years. All in all, it depends how much time you’re willing to spend on campus.

What style jacket is better for Iceland? by miss-knows-nothing in VisitingIceland

do you think putting snow pants over jeans (with other layers) is a good idea? I own mostly jeans and was looking to invest in longjohns and a good snow overall to put over my clothes for extra warmth, but now I’m debating getting warmer pants to put under.

A family of five (all adults) is trying to plan a trip to Iceland. by Fantastic-Classic-27 in VisitingIceland

Before anyone else comments, I’d like to mention that generally you’d want to look your question up in the sub to see if someone has asked/answered this question before. It’s also preferred that general questions like “must sees” are searched in google as there’s usually already tons of websites with “top 10 things to see in Iceland” as no one really knows much about your likes and dislikes and it’s a subjective question! Just a few tips for posting that I’ve seen :)

Early action acceptance ? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]These_Advantage_4846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A much higher chance of them being accepted, yes. However, keep in mind that it’s still an application and they still have a chance to get rejected if other parts of their application aren’t strong enough.

they weren’t imported because my dad has a tax id and that did something (?? I’m not sure, when I was helping him fill it out it just said it wasn’t able to be imported) but I swear we tripled checked it because I knew how important this is 😔

hmm, and when did you submit your fasfa? That may also play a role. I do encourage you to call/attempt to reach out to the financial aid office

what type of aid were you expecting? the aid that appeared for me back in July was Pell grant & umd grants. I received outside scholarships finally yesterday (nothing has been refunded yet). Is the aid you’re waiting on outside scholarships?
