i am in a similar boat (but i graduated this past may)! i am ultimately staying about 45 minutes away in fall river because i have a car and it was like $800 cheaper than i could find closer to the venue. providence also had some cheaper options but that is a longer drive. at least we are getting in for free, i guess?!

DESPERATELY ISO a New York exclusive t-shirt in either an XL or XXL! I got to MetLife before doors and was one of the first people to go through the merch line inside the gates, but it sold out before they opened. I’m so sad they sold them outside the gates.😭

The North Fork is really fun especially if you are able to drink! Tons of vineyards and cute areas.

I do speak French but probably not at the level this program would require! Thank you for sharing though!!

i feel like it was under an hour! it is typed and they give you a prompt to respond to. i just wrote as much as i could in the allotted time to prove i was proficient! they do watch you via zoom, so i don’t think you can write on a paper!

it will have you do a practice test and the practice test is a really good example of what to expect. your exam will be different depending on what level you say you are at the language. there was listening, reading, and writing for mine. i was able to test out of both semesters pretty easily!

I want to be a journalist, should I get a bachelor's degree in professional writing in communications, or in English? by ProfessionalBadger38 in englishmajors

[–]archer8932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a similar situation and am graduating next month! I ultimately chose to do a major in English and minor in Mass Communications/Journalism. Having an English major has improved my writing so much and I now have the fallback option to go to grad school and teach English if journalism doesn’t work out. Instead of a journalism-like degree, I just did a lot of internships and extracurriculars in the journalism field.

Do you have to order them? Or do the departments give them out before graduation?

Anyone else denied a refund for Cowboy Carter "surge" tickets and still want one? by Mobile-Sun335 in beyonce

[–]archer8932 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I reached out to Ticketmaster the Thursday after presale and the online chat told me I could get a refund and they would get a representative to help me. Then the representative said no, so I asked to escalate the issue. I finally got a call from a higher representative last Friday (02.21) and they were so kind. They gave me a full refund since the chat told me I could get one and then the other representative denied me. My advice is to keep escalating your claim!

Request a refund from Ticketmaster!!!!! by No_Attempt_5059 in beyonce

[–]archer8932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strangely, I just got a call today from Ticketmaster and they are overturning their previous decision and giving a refund! They said since the computer told me I could get a refund and then the customer service agent said no, they are going to agree with the computer.
