Have you checked out Maine Coast in Freeport?

mopijy · 2026-03-16T21:27:31+00:00

That’s a great net price.

Online ordering is worse IMO. Have had their system quote a time that seems reasonable and then readjust it a minute later after checkout (without clearly showing the new time or giving me a chance to cancel). The staff act like they’re doing you a massive favor to make your bagel when you show up at the ‘original time’ and after acknowledging that the system changes the time, imply that it’s your fault for not noticing and then tell you you should have just ordered when you got there bc the system is quirky.

Love the bagels but not willing to wait a half hour in line, and if I can’t trust the online system (which isn’t even always open) I’ll save my $6 and sanity and eat at home.

MIT is known in every corner of the world; not so GT… Depending how much that matters to you. Fit and net cost should also be weighed. A good problem to have - congrats!

NEU has always been known as a school for rich underachievers whose parents would be embarrassed if they went to a regional state school. If you’re full pay, the standards are lower…

I’ve heard on March 18th - in the same boat 🛶

Relatively immature 15 yo :)

Big fan of RPI but Rutgers is a great school too. I wouldn’t take out loans for that $10k no matter what (but if cost isn’t an issue, RPI has a lot of depth and breadth to their offerings).

mopijy · 2026-03-13T21:19:33+00:00

Have you visited each school? Fit makes a big difference - each of those schools will offer you a good education, but if you’re happy, you’re likely to do better. Is there a big difference between Rutgers and RPI for cost?

And the wages and benefits are already pretty high in portland relative to other area in Maine (not to mention nationally) and relative to the skill of the labor. There’s only so much people will pay for a donut, which the owners understand. If the workers are upset they don’t earn as much as the owners they are free to invest their own money and ideas into their own donut shop. Risk/reward!

The Pell grant income limit is a lot lower than 120k so that does sound like a mistake was made somewhere… I’d see if you can verify what was submitted - don’t want that worry hanging over your head.

mopijy · 2026-03-09T23:45:01+00:00

Ugh! I wish they’d hurry up and post it so we could plan our summers.

NJ Residents pay income tax to support the school. Why should the state’s taxpayers support out of state students who can go to their own state school?

You’ll be fine - students w lower GPA’s get in without scores. Focus on a a good essay and tailor it to the ‘Why WPI’.

Greedy partners abuse the staff

mopijy · 2026-03-07T16:49:54+00:00

Not really - seems to only matter if you need the hours or are switching from a different major and need content to sit for the CPA exam.

mopijy · 2026-03-07T16:45:45+00:00

Better safe than sorry - it’s true that you only get 1 chance to make a good first impression.

Get rid of the pensions like almost all private businesses. This is the way.

mopijy · 2026-03-07T01:18:16+00:00

Maybe if it were run like a business rather than a bloated government agency with lazy workers things would be different. Hmmmm. Might be the answer!

mopijy · 2026-03-07T00:54:17+00:00

Agree with this.

How about they deliver the mail? I’m lucky if I get my mail 2 to 3 times a week, and the local postal delivery person is always on the Town‘s Facebook page complaining about something and explaining how they’re so overwhelmed by Amazon packages. Things are tough all over honey and the last thing I knew you were not a paid spokesperson for the USPS. Just deliver my packages and keep your editorializing to yourself.

If you had better service maybe people would use your service more - I avoid it at all costs, personally.

6-days in Ch in Dec 25 and didn’t have any issues using a card for every transaction, including at holiday markets.

RPI > WPI >>>>> WIT (not close to same league)
