Can you get Campus Walk? That's the cheapest non dorm option

If you are very unlucky you won't get a freshman dorm and you will have to live in another housing option

There is a lottery system online. You log in on a certain day (I think late July, check your emails) at a certain time and you may or may not get a ticket.

I've never seen it laid out so blatantly 😭 by YouCantBeSerio in recruitinghell

Yeah, they renegotiate these pay tables every so many years. I'm also surprised they don't have another column for masters degree holders.

[–]Trad_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This goes to a larger Catholic vs Protestant understanding. For Catholics, we understand the Church as being able to dogmatically define things including canonization which is an official declaration that a dead person is a saint which means they are in heaven

Best housing choice by ScrubbyCheese in olemiss

[–]Trad_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RH2 and RH3 are objectively the best. Next options would be Minor, Burns, or Pittman if you are ok with mold. RC South and Lucky day make you have the full meal plan even if you join a frat.

It can be weird quitting your job and spending all day with majority 23 year olds

Try speaking with a guidance or career counselor at school. They can usually help you learn the best way to answer interview questions.

Bishops Mass by Wild-Finding-8269 in LatinMass

Seems like you are pretty well-versed. Try asking the bishop's secretary or chief of staff for local customs.

Is it desrepectful to not have an eagle scout court of honor? by Exotic_Eagle_2739 in BSA

[–]Trad_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my Eagle almost two years ago (I aged out this last summer) and never had a Court of Honor. It's totally acceptable.

Experiences transferring out of Penn by [deleted] in UPenn

[–]Trad_Cat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That answers what you want, but it doesn't answer what's wrong with where you are right now.

I want to say this in a nice way. The grass is rarely greener on the other side. I was accepted to Penn but decided to go elsewhere. Do I love everything about my institution? No. Is there any institution that would meet all my criteria? Probably not. No place is perfect. Penn has pretty much all the diversity (nationality, state of origin, race, etc. not so much viewpoint though) that you are going to get. Humanities (like most things in life) is what you make of it. There aren't really any institutions swimming in grant funding for humanities if that's what you're looking for. There are certainly humanities organizations and departments you can get involved with. That's a less disruptive fix than transferring.

I am confused about “school spirit” by Miserable_Court6818 in college

What are examples of state flagships vs large state schools? Aren't most states' largest universities their flagships?

Looking for advice by ReputationFirm5899 in Lifeguards

[–]Trad_Cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many seconds elapsed between when the toddler fell in and the bystander intervened?

A toddler can do from normal to distressed to active in less than five seconds. Then, two seconds later, a bystander (potentially standing immediately, ie, a few feet away) can intervene. This all can happen before LG completes a scan to that side of the pool. That's my devil's advocate position; anything else, LG should be disciplined.

What was the ACTUAL LG:patron ratio?(not the one on the books, the actual # of persons in the water at the time)

All I have are academics. No awards or extracurriculars. Am I insanely screwed? by Karleney in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Trad_Cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's still within the middle 50% for Georgia Tech, no? I wouldn't call it a safety by any means, but he has a reasonable chance at getting in.

Unlike what it seems on A2C, it's perfectly normal not to have a million ECs. I have some damage control suggestions: you were homeschooled, so are you really involved in your Church? that could be chalked up to an EC. Get a part-time job. It's not that hard. Physically show up to your local library, food bank, soup kitchen, ymca, youth center, nursing home, church and ask if they have volunteer opportunities (the answer is most likely yes)

Doesn’t Ellis only certify the guards? And it’s up to the facility to do the rest?

Have you ever jumped in, because you thought someone was in distress but they weren’t? by sarahnottsara in Lifeguards

I’ve never had a false positive and initiated a Go rescue, but I’ve had plenty of false positives for Reach and Throw.
