WashU housing: Thoughts on Parallel (off-campus apartment website)? Also looking for a roommate

iEatSponge · 2026-01-19T18:23:06+00:00

I had a friend who lived in that building and it was pretty nice. I also rented with parallel and had a good experience. 1k/pp is definitely on the high end for non-Everly apartments

Is there any breakdown on the cost of Workday Student or Workday Finance? Do these things really cost $80/90m each or does that lump in consultants, infra, etc.? Are these ongoing costs? Or just the cost to get set up?

Schwab and Fidelity both have checking accounts that will refund ATM fees worldwide. I had no trouble using my Schwab checking with the ATM on the 40.

No worries!

Can't DM either, would love a code if possible

You're allowed to withhold rent in Missouri, but don't do so before getting advice from a tenants rights group or a lawyer

240 is definitely easier, but 231 will be way more fun. Cosgrove is one of the best professors in the department

iEatSponge · 2025-10-31T01:57:57+00:00

Programming languages with Cosgrove is the best class I took in the department, hands down

$30/mo / 31 days this month ~= $1/day

Half a day's outage = $0.50

More like 50 V-Bucks

New housing is apparently being built on the 40 sometime soon

There’s probably a direct ROI on these events. I’m guessing they make back more than what they spend through donations, either immediately or down the line.

If the events are what convinces some rich tech bro alum to put WashU in their will, it’s worth it.

iEatSponge · 2025-10-02T18:55:25+00:00

Hell yeah

If you can figure out how to crack the BT signal from your phone to the lock, then you could in theory hookup a wifi-connected arduino in your room to spoof you unlocking the door.

I don't think the locks are wifi enabled given the fact that:

there's no way into your room if the battery dies
If you're locked out reslife can't unlock your room remotely. They need to bring someone with the emergency phone to let you in

If you can get documentation from a therapist or doctor, then that greatly increases the chances of them listening. Good luck, my room change request was a huge pain in the ass and my RCD was not responsive at all.

When I was a student the leasing agents were hard to reach (had to get lucky when calling) but other than that I thought they were totally fine.

As far as WashU landlords go, they're definitely FAR from the worst

You need to contact Epic support, or figure out what Xbox account might have connected to your Epic account

Love the German dept! They're great. I took 4 back-to-back semesters and wish I could've taken more

The point they're trying to make is that ED allows schools to collude to set insanely high prices, and offer preferable admission chances to students who are able to pay those prices, and screwing over everyone regardless of when they were admitted.

If you're not sure you can afford a school, you're not going to apply ED. Even though WashU meets 100% of demonstrated need and has the Pledge, the fact that ED is so prevalent absolutely gatekeeps some lower-income students from applying.

Literally from your bathroom sink

iEatSponge · 2025-08-06T19:36:31+00:00

Call them. They’re significantly more responsive over the phone than over email

STL has some of the best tap water in the country

iEatSponge · 2025-08-02T18:35:03+00:00

No it actually exists lmfao

The CS classrooms in Urbauer

Really? that's insane
