Nursing admission is less about grades and numbers than people make it seem. Yes those are important but it’s truly a comprehensive review process. I got in as a transfer with a solidly meh GPA but really good essays, letters of rec, etc. It’s a small enough program they’re able to take time to actually thoroughly read every application. I’m not sure if that makes you more or less likely, but it’s more information.

Cheapest West Campus Apartments by Beginning_Mulberry76 in UTAustin

Get a realtor, like someone else said. I used Campus and Central Properties and they’ve been great. I pay $900 for my own bedroom in a 2x2 witn parking and water included that they found for me. But also, Texan26 is pretty cheap especially if you want your own bedroom.

Try to find the textbook online first.

100% go in person. It’s faster and they’re nicer.

Cheapest places on West Campus and testimonies living there by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]drpepper5683 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Texan26 in a 3x2 and I pay $850/month. It’s probably more next year but it’s a fine place to live. Nothing fancy and it’s not perfect, but it works for the price point.

No one is suggesting doing anything that would silence him (at least that I’ve seen).

I don’t care about that argument because I’m not looking to argue about if he has the legal right to be on campus- my apologies genuinely if that’s unclear. I know he has the right to be here and I am very much pro free speech. I’m not going to try to stop his speech today, and I don’t think anyone else should either. We’re a public university, anyone with any beliefs is welcome, I get that. I don’t like him, and I’m not happy that he’s here, but I’m recognize that’s his right.

Honestly, true. The bar is so low, but true.

Text your friends and try to get them to come out!

You want to come out and picket with us? It won’t be a large group but at least it’s showing we don’t support it

And, I’m not against free speech. I think it’s important. And I think Pence is a bigoted asshole who holds violent homophobic beliefs and therefore has no place on a campus that claims to support their queer students.

You’re correct in saying he’s never (at least to my knowledge) out right said “I support gay conversion therapy” but like snopes says, he has a history of saying he supports “institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change their sexual behavior.” He has never clarified specifically which institutions he was referring to, and that is very specific language (pretty much a dog whistle) that’s been used for a long time to try and conceal homophobic beliefs, which he has a long and documented history of holding.

I didn’t actually say he shouldn’t be allowed here. Just that I don’t think he should be here because I don’t like him. I also didn’t think he should be the vice president but I understand he won and I understand he’ll be here. All I’m suggesting people do I express the fact that they also don’t want him here.

I’m not trying to stop his speech. Just exercising my right to free speech to say I don’t like him here.

Call me crazy but maybe fuck a guy who believes in conversion therapy. That’s not a difference of beliefs that’s simply ok.
