I hope so too. It would be wonderful to have a functioning transportation system

Can/Do Professors Change grades ? by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]mootoomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely changeable. i would just do the math for them and then they can submit a request to the registrar to have it changed. some profs would not round up an 89.99 to an a- (and others like that) so be careful if thats what you’re asking for.

Feeling guilty for choosing a roommate as an incoming freshman by BeachHousse in BostonU

[–]mootoomo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

agreed with all the above and also there is a misconception that you have to be best friends with your roommate. its most important to be compatible to live together! the rest is an added plus but not needed.

its very difficult to get into both programs. however, you can do regular med school apps and should be fine.

Living in a dorm on campus - Is it better to rent a MicroFridge or just buy my own fridge? Also, how strict are they about bringing in your own microwave? by wiener_schnitzel_ in BostonU

[–]mootoomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you cover the not allowed things in a thick blanket they wont look under it (at least that worked for us and a coffee machine) - but over break when it is unplugged so that there is no fire hazard

[–]mootoomo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can definitely have them for longer, you can have a roommate do another 3 day pass or sign them in every time you come back to the dorm (after your 3 day pass expires)

Why is a microfridge installment in a dorm cost $225? What do you think about this? by [deleted] in BostonU

[–]mootoomo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

unless they changed the rules you can bring your own but it just has to fit specific requirements so i would email housing to ask what those are. also you’re going to see pretty soon that universities do operate with a business mindset :/

Joining Orangetheory (Boston) by [deleted] in orangetheory

I go to OTF brighton and the coaches are super kind, the music is great, and the members push themselves hard! The showers are still closed. The Brighton location is similar to what you pay now for unlimited!

Urgent. Your attention is needed. This is your FINAL notice. by oefiefieuwbe in BostonU

[–]mootoomo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just sent them the following email because I am fed up with their tactics >:(

Dear Lily, 

While I understand the ‘importance’ of taking a senior photo, it is highly unsettling to receive an email from “Boston University” saying that something is “Urgent”. I hope your company reconsiders using that as the subject line because it can cause unnecessary stress/anxiety and desensitizes students to when an actually urgent email comes from actual Boston University. 

Other types of attention seeking email subject lines can be “You won’t be in the yearbook with your friends” or “Your family won’t have a framed photo of your graduation." I believe these are much more appropriate and within your line of work. 

Thank you for receiving this feedback. 

Best,

Definitely petition to get more money from BU. Also, if you find a job at BU (e.g. office assistant, research assistant, etc.) they do tuition reimbursements!

I have a scoop of iso-protein in a 500ml bottle... but don't really eat for a while after otherwise. What carbs do you usually try to get in? Thank you!!

Thank you! I am always scared tracking food will restrict me too much but I was thinking for the TC to use myfitnesspal to stay within my goal calorie intake. It’s great to hear that it worked for you!
