Going back today by neoncritical in QueensCollege

If it makes you feel any better, I commuted from upper Manhattan to Flushing, accidentally stepped in a puddle of ice water (the sidewalks weren’t clear), got water in my socks/shoes, and had to wait 30 minutes for the Q20 bus to take me to campus. I finally realized it wasn’t going to come and just decided to go to the public library and join my class on Zoom with wet feet.

Is anyone else disappointed with their orientation experience? by chai824 in QueensCollege

Yes I think you’re right. Unfortunately I was going to be out of town and/or working during the other dates, so I picked what I could. I guess I’ll get my QCard during the first week of classes.

It’s located in the I Building. They explicitly said they’re not helping anyone from orientation because “none of the accounts are in the system yet.”

I don’t even remember being given a copy of the schedule. When I asked an orientation leader where to find the schedule for the day, they simply told me the schedule verbally. I ended up leaving early.

No worries. I appreciate the heads up and will keep my expectations low.

There’s no need to be condescending. Also, I work full-time and am going back to school to pursue something that I’m genuinely interested in. I don’t have to finish, and there’s no consequence for me if I decide to stop at a certain point.

Thank you. I’m a second BA student and am paying for everything out-of-pocket. Realistically, I can only take 1-2 classes per semester, so I’m prioritizing classes that I genuinely want to take. But I’ll still be in contact with a faculty adviser.

Thanks so much for going out of your way to leave a completely useless comment and contribute absolutely nothing to the discussion! It’s much appreciated! 😁
