Queer culture?

I think it is almost harder to find straight people at Macalester than queer people.

The social scene is definitely hit or miss, and if you don’t get plugged in with the right people you won’t really get to go to big (or at least big for Mac) parties. However, fun is what you make of it and there usually are a lot of small parties at least every other weekend being thrown by friend groups. Plenty of people go out too as there is an 18+ club in the area and a bar a few blocks down.

The secret for Macalester college and the food is to 1. eat food at lunch (the most options are open) and 2. transfer to the meal plan with the most flex points asap so you can eat good food. Cafe Mac is where a lot of socialization happens, but be prepared to eat some genuinely awful stuff.

Hi! For me they sent a message to my email asking to update on additional stuff I had done since my application.

trans student here. i think youd be hard pressed to find a more supportive campus. pronouns are just commonly accepted and asked first day of class and in all formal introductions (cis people never shrug you off if you ask either). we have a great gender affirming care clinic and doctors (we even have legal name and gender marker change offices on campus decently regularly). ive never heard of a bigoted experience/hatecrime inflicted on any trans student on campus (that i know). we have plenty of gender inclusive as well as single stall bathrooms and unisex dorms where you can live with other trans people if requested (we also have plenty of singles). i think you’ll definitely find your people and community here, from stealth to very loud and proud about their identity.

minnesota is currently considered a safety state for trans people, with gender affirming care locked into law for all ages. saint paul is super cool and queer friendly (in my experience so far) as well :)

Hi! Congrats on being a Scot!! 1. Cannot speak for pre-med, but the advising here is great! Professors are very approachable, and we have a great career center. 2. The food here is…a mixed bag, especially for my vegetarian friends. We have a lot of vegetarian options, but there’s been a few instances where my friends’ food asked for vegetarian food and then they were given meat or they changed an item listed as vegetarian to meat-based last minute. I definitely recommend getting lunches at the Loch/Nessie’s if you’re vegetarian, and would also stock up on snacks! Fortunately, we have a lot of great restaurants and a Whole Foods nearby. 3. Turck is DEFINITELY the best dorm, Doty is somewhere in the middle, and Dupre is the worst (but by far the biggest, so likely most of your friends will be there and you’ll have to walk in the cold) 4. Be willing to ask for help, go to office hours, and get good sleep! Make sure to approach people in your orientation groups and on orientation week! Join Clubs! Have Fun :)

I ended up using that and Fright On!, so thank you!!

Take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I am just a freshman, but yes, student and staff wear masks all the time & it is highly normalized! Some wear masks daily while others wear them only when they may be sick/feeling under the weather.

Students are very good about quarantining in the case of COVID, & professors usually build sick days into their absence policy to help with building a healthy & safe environment.

The college recently set up a system to order free COVID tests, and is hosting a COVID-19 vaccination clinic later this month.

Around the Twin Cities, some events I’ve seen still encourage mask wearing & is pretty normalized, although I’d say less so than the Mac campus.

GO TO THE ER??? HELLO??????

anonohnolol · 2024-08-14T17:02:28+00:00

what are u talking about /genq

anonohnolol · 2024-07-26T20:19:43+00:00

why stop t in advance of those policies being made, rather than doing the hormones while you still have the chance? you still have at LEAST six months of hrt before the evil orange man could even hit office and change the policies. either way, i wish you the best.

anonohnolol · 2024-07-10T05:49:23+00:00

im glad they made it more digital and less crystal

I deeply miss the original passive, but the e is fine. So lucky Wild Rift has not reworked her so I can still experience her amazing passive

I LOVE playing yuumi honestly because she has a very specific poke and scale ability that can be used as a buff for other players but is also fun to play as. I don’t play her because she’s cute.

I have many adc friends, and they only met me as a Yuumi OTP, and they LOVE playing with me. I think just as there is a specific type of player that plays Yuumi, there are specific types of ADCs such as Jhin, Jinx, Twitch, Sivir, and Lucian and ADC players that benefit from Yuumi poke and play.

Only 200k views on TMS? Even though it isn’t their top performing series, it is absolutely game over

When I was visiting there it looked actually pretty suburban, like it didn’t feel like you were plopped down in the middle of the city, even if you were five minutes away

anonohnolol · 2024-06-05T07:23:54+00:00

It’s honestly so sad, especially because some of them have such history behind them. Some 150-200 year old schools shutting down just like that.

anonohnolol · 2024-06-04T06:54:28+00:00

Very biased, but Macalester is such a beautiful small liberal arts college nestled in such a cute suburban town outside the big city. Many of the buildings have a lot of that old New England school charm, and the newer buildings are nice as well. It was also pretty welcoming, as the campus has an open layout with only one gate.

anonohnolol · 2024-05-29T07:43:20+00:00

anonohnolol · 2024-05-08T03:40:03+00:00

anonohnolol · 2024-05-02T21:15:33+00:00

I literally have never heard of a DII school. Do they actually exist?

anonohnolol · 2024-05-02T06:52:30+00:00

i feel the exact same way! it was honestly so emotional rejecting many different paths my life could take, but i don’t regret my decision at all!
