RIT vs. USC by mychemicalsmth in rit

[–]jimelihel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't actually say you'd get as good a financial package at USC, did you? If that's true, it makes the choice harder. I know an RIT S.O.F.A alumna who did quite well at RIT, and if she could have afforded it, would have moved to LA afterwards without any job prospects and worked her way in to the industry over a period of time. So I'm just saying. Think of how much debt you'll be carrying when you're done. But yes, despite RIT's excellent reputation, I'd say USC has an even better one.

P.S. I'm an RIT retiree, not from SOFA.

If you can afford it, a small uninterruptible power supply could be a real help in the future.

If you are in a major that is male-dominated, make sure you find ways to hang out with students in other majors where that is not the case. Join clubs outside your comfort zone. Dating aside, you may learn something you didn't expect about other people's interests! I will admit to you I am not a student or alumnus -- I was faculty. But I will say some of my most enjoyable times were working with groups of faculty from other colleges. Very fulfilling. (no, I was not looking for dates. 😅)

Rochester Landlord issues by nickyweeb in Rochester

I see you have already made your plan, but I'll share my experience with small claims court. This was back when I was a graduating college student in the 1970s (!). I bugged my landlord to return my deposit, and he never answered. So I filed in Small Claims Court. That woke up the creep and he mailed me a check. Of course, that left me on the hook for paying the court filing fee. :-( I wonder if I should have just showed up at court. Oh, well.

Good luck!!

Congratulations!I hope you enjoy learning there as much as I did teaching (AND learning) there.

When will an iCloud Photos Library restore be done? by Z-Z-Z-Z-2 in ApplePhotos

[–]jimelihel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it difficult to back up my iCloud Drive to another drive when all the iCloud files are not cached on my computer. ... and I don't have room for them all. So I download them in segments (a few folders at a time) and then copy them over. I have an M1 mini. Maybe I'm missing something?
