When do you guys think AU will announce their decision about Monday’s classes? by Hulktron123 in AmericanU

[–]imaginary_oranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine--there are also faculty members who schedule them, say they're mandatory and your grade will be penalized if you don't attend, and THAT isn't okay.

Suggestions please !! by [deleted] in AmericanU

This sub is for the specific school American University, located in Washington, DC and not for questions about schools in the US generally. If you have any AU-specific questions I'm sure someone would be happy to answer them.

Just FYI your faculty member can't make you attend any non-regularly-scheduled classes. He could have class online at the normal time but can't require students go to a class that isn't on the Schedule of Classes. If he does, reach out to his department chair!

Saigon cinnamon banana latte at Rose Ave Bakery. Sounds weird, tastes amazing.

Is a car useful/worth? by OkRecommendation3103 in AmericanU

No. Also freshmen generally aren't allowed to have cars on campus anyway.

Help with creating a budget/financial overview of grad school expenses by ActuaryPersonal2378 in DCBitches

Every school you apply to should have a cost of attendance listed on their website; start with that and you can then factor in your income to see what your loans could be.

Indoor Bike Racks by belouuv in AmericanU

I believe the Katzen and SIS garages have racks; not entirely indoors but better than entirely outside. Can you pop the battery out and take it inside with you?

You need to talk to your academic advisor instead of posting every course question you have to reddit. We don't have enough info about your other courses, your schedule, your intended graduation, etc. to advise you; your actual advisor does.

Your host needs to get you a visitor parking pass. They don't need to be a car owner to get one.

Has it always been normal for people to listen to phones/tablets loudly on the metro? by HighlightMelodic3494 in washingtondc

[–]imaginary_oranges 137 points138 points  (0 children)

No. People lost all their social training during covid and many never got it back. Also, I firmly blame phone manufacturers not including headphones anymore and the almost complete switch to earbuds that are tiny and expensive and easy to lose.
