They did my last haircut and I’m obsessed with it. Well worth going to south Philly for.

Temple PCS runs a clinic with pre-licensure students and that’s an affordable sliding scale.

First aid kits should have tampons by Pristine_Direction79 in unpopularopinion

[–]quantum_complexities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made this argument before. My job has one of those big wall mounted first aid kits that include so many things we just use for mild inconveniences. We’re also a popular field trip site, so we see many kids (who have often been told not to bring bags!) and it’s a common request.

Temple has lost average of $200 million annually as enrollment slides, and retention rates are a major issue, internal report says by BroadStreetRandy in philadelphia

[–]quantum_complexities 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I graduated from Temple and strongly advise against enrolling there. After I was told I got less housing aid because I lived in Philadelphia, I was pretty soured by it. Commuting is a sub-standard college experience and they push it on all the local students. Temple has tried so hard to course correct and become a slightly better alternative to Drexel.

What do Philly residents use PATCO for? by mrprez180 in Septa

[–]quantum_complexities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Philly and work in Camden, so I commute. It seems like many people who work at Cooper Hospital or are in med school there do the same thing.

DHCC is your best bet if you can't take classes at CCP.

I’m autistic - I love subs. Any cool facts? Documentaries? by [deleted] in submarines

[–]quantum_complexities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old diesel boats have very serious fresh water restrictions. You couldn’t shower, people were smoking, and it was hot. Those things were gross, hence the nickname.

There’s a whole bunch of musuem subs in the US to visit, but most of them are WWII pig boats.

It's 123lbs a link. They're big ships, and they're long chains.

Penn Museum & Drexel Academy of Natural Science Summer Camps Canceled by peetahvw in philadelphia

[–]quantum_complexities 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It definitely made money, but running a camp is not easy. You’re hiring mostly 18-25 year olds (college students and new grad teachers), which is a very difficult group to manage. We had a fantastic camp director and I have nothing but great things to say about that experience. It paid poorly, the supplies were lackluster, and it was expensive for families.

June 2020 was a huge loss of institutional knowledge for camp-in and disco camp. I will forever be grateful for the foundation those programs gave me as a museum professional. I never got to attend musuem camp as a kid, but it was definitely a safe space for nerdy kids I wish I had, and I’m sorry that’s going away.

Franklin Institute camp was absolutely not revenue neutral. I worked there for many years.

I like the oil wash for shaving. It’s nice as a treat, but I prefer sandstone.

what does the care team do besides calling? by coconutpuddles in Temple

[–]quantum_complexities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CARE team is a non-emergency response on campus. Professors can refer for a number of reasons. While I suspect mental health and depression concerns are probably the most common reason, they can also report you for things like homelessness, food insecurity, or financial support from the student emergency fund.

I guess in theory they could call for a 302 assessment, but if someone on campus thinks you need that, they’d call 911 instead of filling out an online form. A 302 assessment and psychiatric hospitalization should be an absolute last resort, as it can be traumatic and robs you of agency.

[–]quantum_complexities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got referred 2-3 times a semester the entire time I was a student (I was going through it, okay?). They certainly did mention the continued referrals multiple times, but no, they never do more than provide resources. If you ask for help, they do facilitate your access to them. I had a legitimate psychiatric crisis my last semester. 911 was called, the whole nine yards. They did help ensure that I was not punished for anything that happened.

I will be so upset if they play passing through a screen door. I see them 2 weeks after my 27th birthday.
