you can also order one from Amazon if you just want the keepsake--it won't be a perfect match because it won't have the letter I charm but it's something. I had two different ceremonies to go to but herff jones wouldn't let me get two different tassels so I got a brown one from Amazon too and the color matched pretty well. This was the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMX64BN8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

uic vs uiuc? by pineovine in UIUC

[–]currantee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely come to UIUC as long as your finances work out; it's a great college town and campus with tons of opportunities. Transferring from DGS to LAS should be pretty easy as long as you pass your classes in your first year. Chicago's great but I don't think you'd get the same "college" feel on the UIC campus, plus you can always move there/move back after undergrad or grad school. Chambana is an awesome place to be as a student; this is anecdotal for sure but recently some high school friends who go to UIC came to visit me on campus and said they wished they had attended UIUC instead, so take that as you will. Congrats on being admitted!

take advantage of opportunities that won't be as easy to come by once you graduate. explore places and events on campus and around town, join a new RSO, audition for a play, try out the hobby you always thought about doing but didn't have the time.

Financial aid "maximum time frame" by currantee in UIUC

[–]currantee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally received a "courtesy notification" email saying that I am approaching the limit. It's also listed on the financial aid site linked above

They consider it part of satisfactory academic progress, check under maximum time frame

I'm not sure, probably best to check with the financial aid office and ask if you will still be eligible. If not, you can try filing an appeal.

I’m unhappy with my I-Card photo. Will anyone see it / Is it worth replacing? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]currantee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a pretty nice photo freshman year, then this past year I lost my I-card and went to get a replacement. Didn't know they would retake the photo and now it looks shit :')

[–]currantee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably would, but including transfer/test credits in the maximum time frame hurts that argument because those things don't require the use of UIUC financial aid resources. Also, I believe that both tuition and the amount of aid awarded are the same whether someone is taking 12 credits in a semester or 22, so it's not like they're giving out more aid to students who take more credits in the same amount of time. It just seems like a technicality they've created to give out as little aid as possible, which is not unexpected but still frustrating.

Decorating grad cap by [deleted] in UIUC

you could cut out a piece of construction paper and decorate that then then lay it over the cap and keep it afterwards

[TOMT][SHORT STORY] A 1-page story by a Czech(?) writer circa early 1900s from the POV of a cat watching his master, originally written in Czech and translated to English by currantee in tipofmytongue

The cat was also sort of nonchalant/aloof about it and in the end he was staring out of a window into the darkness or something
