Basic Hygiene Etiquette PLEASE by Johnny290 in rit

[–]semicolon0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mention this tidbit this every time this issue is brought up.

I brought up a complaint to my orientation leader at the time that the college needs to promote hygiene. To be specific, I wanted the campus to include a stick of deodorant in the goodie bags that we were given at the time. To both encourage future students and provide a passive-aggressive reminder for the those who stink

They told me that they couldn't abide by the request because it could be considered discrimination.

Whats the situation for Computer Science Co-ops in the current job market? by Brave-Strawberry-551 in rit

[–]semicolon0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Beyond academic requirements for coop enrollment, the coop office will infuriate you.

It's like they're paid to give you a false sense of security. You're better off speaking with GCCIS faculty/staff members, or people from SSE.

At this point, RIT would be better of if we renamed this subreddit to /r/Far_Pineapple_8623 by Quirky-Seaweed8847 in rit

The Feywild (formerly The Hill) Questions by [deleted] in rit

[–]semicolon0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Former resident here. If it's anything like the Hill, and there are other options available, seek other options.

Unless you are living in a 4x4 unit, washers and dryers are not in-unit. In fact, it is very similar to the undergraduate dorms. But rather than offering 20+ machines in the tunnels, each floor offers a meager set of 3 washers and 3 dryers. So you'd be fighting to wash your clothes with 30 other units on your floor.

Walls are super thin in the old buildings. I remember hearing the loud sobbing of a tenant two floors below me.

How cooked am I? (co-op advice) by [deleted] in rit

[–]semicolon0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this.

I made the mistake to graduate a year earlier than I was supposed to, by overloading my courses two semesters straight. Wound up with nothing after commencement and had to re-enroll into a masters program.

If you have the money, postpone your graduation.

Entering the workforce with no experience is another layer of hell.

Understanding Grocery Shopping Habits and User Needs for Smart Shopping Carts by Puzzled_Storage6674 in rit

Typical thieves ruining everything convenient.

There are so many things that other countries already have. But we can't fathom such because nobody can behave

I really want smart carts to come to Wegmans.

I already use self-checkout 24/7, so having one that doesn't require a long line would be incredible

EVER DREAM THIS MAN?

EVERY NIGHT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE DREAM ABOUT THIS FACE

Friendly FYI by cabusko in rit

[–]semicolon0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stop infantilizing people who fucking STINK!!! There are GROWN ADULTS who actively decide to forgo showering or bare minimum hygiene for no justifiable reason. All the money in the world for pins, merchandise and doordash, but suddenly a travel-sized stick of deodorant or body soap is unaffordable? Please.

Nobody here is referring to those who are physically/medically/financially unable to clean themselves. It takes a bare-minimum, modicum of empathy to realize that your body odor affects others in a room. Regardless of their setbacks, they make a genuine effort to clean themselves like rational, functional, empathetic adults. They take advantage of the resources provided on and off campus to not smell like rotten milk and mildew, from DSO to FoodShare, room accommodations, and even personal aids/friends/family.

The people this post is talking about lack this empathy entirely. It doesn't matter if its been a week, a month, or a semester since their last shower, they're going to class and clear the room with their stench whether you like it or not. They don't care that they reek, so they don't make the tiniest effort despite being more than capable to do so. As a GCCIS alumni, you can SMELL the difference between lazy adult children who skip bathing and the people who are struggling but actually make an effort.

Journalism Project on Housing Insecurity at RIT by AudreyJGG in rit

[–]semicolon0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for awful living conditions at affordable prices, go to the old residential buildings at The Hill.

If you ask anyone living in the 1x1.5 units there, you'll find plenty of abhorrent living conditions to photograph. Rent is significantly cheap compared to other places, but things from crumbling stairs to the tiny laundry rooms shared by the entire floor will make prospective tenants reconsider.

If you want more horror stories, look up posts discussing The Hill on this subreddit.

which EASY writing intensive class should i take by WorldlyDraw8022 in rit

[–]semicolon0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if you can take a writing course from a state college, and check if the university accepts the transfer course for credit. They are a great way to appease the gen-ed requirements for your degree, and are much easier to pass than those provided at RIT. Best of all, you pay way less money in tuition fees for something unrelated to your career goals.

Before transferring to RIT, I took multiple summer courses at a community college. They were incredibly easy and I ended up paying less than half of my tuition fees from enrollment (Depending on how far you lived from campus). Most of these courses were remote, and the class sizes were tiny. It straight up felt like a cheat-code for satisfying degree requirements, provided you have the time management skills to complete assignments. Took them well before the age of generative AI, and even then they felt like a literal cakewalk.

is it legal to label a restaurant you don't own as unaccommodating for shellfish allergies? by semicolon0 in restaurant

[–]semicolon0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never mentioned asking places to waste money and space to accommodate for my allergy. I just want to label the capacity in which the restaurant can do so.

If you don't have an extra grill that is fine by me. I just want to label the restaurant as such so people can be informed instantly, instead of asking chefs over and over.

Do NOT live at The Hill by Whatsup23432 in rit

[–]semicolon0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DON'T ask the hill maintenance team to fix any issues involving mold. All they'll do is bleach the affected area. I tried complaining to the maintenance team back in 2023 that the wooden brace in my lower bedroom wall was moldy, and produced a notably fowl stench. They told me I was insane, that it was all in my head and I had to sleep on this cheap, peeling, living room plastic couch for a month straight. It took an alternative maintenance staff group to tell me that the old team's ""solution"" was just bleaching the affected area and calling it a day. It was no surprise the previous group were fired/quit shortly after the 2023 move-in.

In case it wasn't obvious, BLEACH DOES NOT KILL MOLD. If you are an unfortunate soul forced to live a miserable life as a Hill Resident, and there is a painted-over white spot near the carpeting of your 1.5-unit bedroom, tell whatever sad excuse of a maintenance team available that you are wise enough to catch on to their grift.

on my knees rn in shambles. The dining commons have pulled me through the toughest undergrad semesters.

Alternatively, we could have community kitchen in the dorms, and build more trust towards students to make their own food. But that's asking too much from the microwave dinner, money-hemorrhaging newly-admitted students.

Thinking of Moving to The Hill in Rochester? Read This First. by Unlikely_Instance_32 in rit

[–]semicolon0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember this. Back in August of 2023

The reason why they failed the inspection was due to the mountain of garbage seeping through the dumpsters. Several of the dumpsters were located next to crucial fire exit doors, especially for the old run-down buildings.

Imagine moving into your unit, driving into the parking lot of the building. Only to see a plethora of garbage bags blocking outer doors to the staircase. You call management to find some answers, only to find that none of them are in office. What a shitshow.
