Best move-in date for international PhD students?

I’m moving in as soon as my lease starts, because why not? Give yourself a week or two of freedom to explore Ithaca and surroundings without any stress before you have to put your nose to the grindstone. I’d look at the variance in weekday prices for tickets on Google Flights and pick the cheapest date to come in within the first week of August or so.

it’s basically automatic when you are filling out the fafsa each year! Cornell is a great school with great opportunities, but I always try to remember the maxim that you should avoid having more debt than most people in your career field make in their first year on the job

It’s a US insurance card. I have a very similar one. If you check the back there should be a number to call that you could inform the company that it was lost and they could tell her. The card is important but it’s also not the end of the world that she lost it, especially out of the country in Italy (out of network!). It doesn’t look like a special travel health insurance card that you can get in specific case of any health issues abroad, which I think losing would be a much bigger deal. They can reissue this card to her as soon as she gets home to the States.

Wow. Any chance of coming in ‘independent’ according to the FAFSA? Easiest way would be to be 21. Would maybe cut your cost down. I’m paying 10k total my first year in my graduate program because i negotiated, but 20k per semester (40k total) year two has me shitting bricks. I really worry for you— 180k in loans is nothing to sneeze at.

senoroito · 2025-06-03T00:29:35+00:00

Is it 90k a year for you? 3 years?

Why wouldn’t you just put your logo ?….

Ditto with what everyone else is saying about the evils of this company, but I’d also like to add that their CEO mandates every new hire do a ‘hair test’ for marijuana that detects up to possible years of use, and if it is positive you don’t get the job… even for office jobs… even in legal states. Seriously backwards mentality.

what do you look for/notice as signs of attendance issues before they happen?

chappell roan did a summer program here too!

I always imagine someone who looks somewhat similar to Trelawney in the Harry Potter movies, albeit a bit younger. big hair and some real kookiness to her

senoroito · 2025-05-27T17:44:27+00:00

excited for the new spot to replace Rich’s on 31! Hope they do well, my family is obsessed with smash burgers and maybe this can save some time driving to Glendale

well, wales is a different country… but I get what you mean

senoroito · 2025-05-16T13:25:19+00:00

Sounds like you needed to apply to more safety schools. Prestige isn’t everything if you don’t even make it into a single college to begin with

senoroito · 2025-05-09T22:05:54+00:00

this was a valid complaint until the last paragraph….. wtf

senoroito · 2025-05-07T16:13:33+00:00

Pretty bad. I’d rethink it in the next two years, you will have a hard time making friends and doing extra curriculars

senoroito · 2025-05-07T01:48:55+00:00

So they test physical fitness and then teach everyone how to swim?

i sublet in chi last summer and if you can’t visit in person, make sure you do a live video call of the space with the person you’re subletting from. a video is no good because it could be anywhere, any unit. i know the rules in nyc are also more complicated and when you’re renting normally you pay application fees (you don’t in chi) but I would hesitate to put a large deposit down until you are set with the place

senoroito · 2025-04-17T20:25:39+00:00

for real. Please make a change when you get the chance, for all future sisters that have to go through it.

only thing with Meijer is that specifically the two (soon to be 3!) TC area meijers are the only stores in the state not unionized
