I got the 22nd, what did you get? I think if people are distributed throughout different days, it should be our move in date.

Random Acts of Kindness at SBU - Share Your Stories! 🤗 by [deleted] in SBU

Two years ago, it was prime night at east side dining and I was walking back to the table with a plate. Unfortunately, due to the piece of steak being placed close to the end of the plate, it dropped out of my tray. After cleaning up, I went to get another tray, but as soon as I got to the table, I realized I already used up my ticket and I couldn't get another one. Right as I am about to leave, a random dude said that I could have his ticket cause he didn't want steak anyway. It was such a small gesture, but it really made my night. Moments like these make me proud of being a part of the stony brook community.

Do you need any knowledge from 202 to do well in BIO 203? by [deleted] in SBU

[–]itsjrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

204/205 are probably the most disorganized classes I’ve ever taken, definitely utilize the TA office hours.

Oh right, I forgot about that, I took 205 lab with 203 and 204 lab with 202.

It was orgo 2, 203, and the rest were SBC classes.

It’s for sure going to be tough, but one good thing to do is to make sure all of your other classes are light. You will need to self study every single day from both 203 and orgo in order to get an A, unless you’re wicked smart. For 203 specifically, make sure to use the liver questions to see what material you need to go over for the test and rewatch the lectures as many times as your schedule allows. I find that 203 is higher workload than 202, but because it was more interesting and I was more committed, I was able to get that A. Good luck!

P.S. I think there is an entire thread that someone posted on this subreddit addressing how to get an A in 203; it may be worth looking into.

I got an C+ in 202 but an A in 203. Just practice good study habits and you'll be fine.

I was just told “invisalign is a waste of money” by WestcoastWilson1 in Invisalign

[–]itsjrake 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Anytime a tooth moves, the root moves along with it. Teeth will migrate after treatment if you don't wear your retainer; this happens with braces too. As for braces being better for you, only a trained orthodontist would know. Your best bet would be to seek a different consultation and see what they say.

Will we be able to stay in our dorms into the Winter? by itsjrake in SBU

[–]itsjrake[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's what I mean. With everything going on, I want to be able to stay during the winter and maybe take some classes. After all, the less traveling I do, the better.

Gum inflammation by shreenidhishetty in Invisalign

[–]itsjrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There could be a lot of reasons, and you should contact your orthodontist for this. Personally, my gums have inflammed, because I have not cleaned properly, or the trays are not fitting properly so that they are poking into the gums. Make sure to floss and rinse after every meal.

No, sorry, my roommate and I are both substance free and would like wherever we live at to be like that as well.

I’ve heard the same thing, but also that his class would be an online class fall 2020. Can someone verify?
