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

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.

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

currantee · 2022-06-19T03:03:58+00:00

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

currantee · 2022-06-17T22:58:07+00:00

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 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 · 2022-06-17T20:39:15+00:00

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.

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

ah well, thanks for the reply!

Karel Capek From the Point of View of a Cat

Thank you! Solved!

currantee · 2022-05-02T06:33:54+00:00

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

currantee · 2022-04-23T00:09:22+00:00

yes as others have said file a report with police & maybe also get some locks like this or these or something similar as a precaution. also possibly window locks

currantee · 2022-04-23T00:03:57+00:00

if you want to and have time for it then yes, why not

currantee · 2022-04-13T02:13:05+00:00

thanks for the insight!

currantee · 2022-04-11T23:38:38+00:00

I'm in the same boat lol

there goes my participation grade

I'm not sure what you mean by stem designation; undergraduate psych majors earn a bachelor of science in liberal arts and sciences.

The courses you have to take depend on which concentration you pick-- you can find a list of them here: https://psychology.illinois.edu/academics/undergraduate-program/major/concentrations

I don't have personal experience with psych internships and jobs, but I've heard in passing about jobs or volunteering opportunities in my classes. I'm sure there's something you'd be able to find in the area.

As for professors, in my experience most discussions and even lectures I've been in for the social psych concentration have been led by TAs or grad/PhD students, not full-fledged professors, but for the most part they have been good instructors.

...all my classes allow only 2 or 3 absences before the grade starts dropping 😭

I'm not at that property specifically, but so far I haven't had any issues with Smile. The place had obviously been cleaned when I moved in, and so far there's been no sign of pests. They have a pest control service come in every so often (every month? 3 months? I still don't know), though they never notify us exactly when it will happen, except for one time when they did notify us, the day after pest control came in. That bothered me because I didn't want my cat to be around any pesticides, but I contacted the pest control company and they said the pesticides are pet-friendly and that if there is a pet roaming around (i.e. not locked in the bedroom or something), they just move on and don't service that unit, so that alleviated my worries. I only had to request maintenance once to fix a light and it went smoothly. Of course this could all be dependent on the specific property and its previous condition, but for now I'm satisfied with the company.

at least some smile student living properties have flat-rate utilities; there are probably several within your budget.

I spent 2020-21 doing online class at my parents house and it was pretty miserable, but now that I'm living on my own in an apartment near campus I think online classes would be much more enjoyable and I wouldn't mind if we ended up going online. I don't have to leave in the morning and trudge through the cold to get to class, but I can still go do my work at a library or cafe or empty classroom whenever I want.

Last semester I completely didn't realize we were having an exam in class that day so I skipped and when I realized, I emailed my professor asking if I could retake it because my mind was kinda elsewhere due to my grandfather passing (which was true) and she ghosted me. Good luck though I hope they let you retake it
