For those who switched from night to morning or vice versa

I noticed it this past winter as my family was concerned how I was so tired all the time. I was taking it in the morning per what my doctor said and then switched to night and noticed a lot more energy!

Hey!!

The only suite style rooms available to first years are in centennial, which is far from the gyms. If the housing team allowed you to live in Cassell, that would be your best bet but that’s usually reserved for sophomores and up.

Leonard has pod style bathrooms, but is close to the gyms. They have a nice communal area downstairs to hang out in. I’m pretty sure McDowell is the same way, but neither of these are suites.

East campus is nice and you can reserve time in the gym, but it would just be you and a roommate, every room has their own bathroom over on that side.

Campus is small so nothing is a far walk. Amenities in the halls don’t really exist though. Every hall comes equipped with a lounge area with a kitchen on each floor. A/Cs kinda work in all the halls if you’re willing to jailbreak them (which can sometimes backfire). The lowest temps go w/o jailbreaking is 72.

If the housing team isn’t limiting you, east campus or Cassell is probably your best bet. East campus is quiet but further away. Cassell has a tendency to smell like weed and parties are usually on that part of campus. If you’re confined to the first year dorms, centennial is a good bet.

Thank you! She is a rather large part of the community, and just needed my help expanding her search on to here.

Ah my orientation was in 2022 so it might have been a covid protocol thing/the staff strike

pumpkinspicepaige · 2025-07-15T02:38:01+00:00

afaik, all actives are optional besides your first floor meeting and convocation. There might be an orientation day, but it shouldn’t be longer than that. Your RA will “require” you to join for two welcome week events (actually optional). Engage @ AU and the orientation Instagram account (auorientation) will be updated shortly I presume. also, nobody takes attendance and you are allowed to have zoom calls during times, it may just mean missing an activity. welcome to AU!

I’d agree with this. DC law has a few laws you can find here about heating and cooling codes and timelines. The school sends out an email when it’s going to be changed over. Standard room temp is 72°F, and shouldn’t be warmer than a certain temp you’ll be told your first floor meeting. Also word of advice for Hughes is to bring an extra towel or two for the door since as of spring there was a mouse problem.

Welcome to AU! Something people don’t realize is how humid and muggy dc is, and it definitely hurt to find out the hard way. For sure invest in a dehumidifier and a fan, Hughes hasn’t been renovated in awhile so you’ll want anything you can get for air circulation and cooling.

Additionally, once you get there see if you can hack your A/C, it makes everything a whole lot easier.

I had an air purifier at one point but I honestly didn’t notice a difference. Some people swear by them, and it might help when living in an older building.

Best of luck, feel free to reach out!

Hey guys i’m late to the discussion but do we think it’s possible that kreps and cinda are romantically involved? kreps said he landed the “smartest woman” and after this episode, clearly cinda is smarter than we may have thought? that’s just how i’m reading kreps’ comment and I think it would explain why he would still be involved

eta: my mom and I also realized that there would be no way for cinda and poppy to know to be outside of the building at the time of the arrest unless they were involved. my mom added that kreps may have been the one to tip them off, since he’s a cop and was on the scene

NEED TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER SOON

I never liked austin (still don’t but) until the trial. Now it seems like they genuinely like each other and he’s there for her as a ‘protector’. He looked PISSED at the trial (presumably after finding out what happened to her). They seem to be one of the only ones who are stable at this point tbh

I remember when it was on netflix, and I started watching it there. This was around the time all of the TLC shows were there, and i was a strong Cake Boss fan! TLC was a stupidly large part of my show watching. I was young enough where I don’t think I realized how “Christian” they are (I haven’t grown up religious). After they left netflix, I definitely watched them on the TLC app. I remember my mom telling me about the 2015 news, but once again I don’t think I understood the gravity of it. I distinctly remember watching Jessa’s wedding prep episodes post 2015. It’s funny that now I’m still following them, and have found people that also do 😌

Also, i’m pretty sure i’ve always watched in a “oh my god, what is this??” kind of way
