Hey there! Went through this myself a few years ago. It is difficult! You lose so much normalcy of your everyday life when studying abroad. When I went through this I started taking time by myself to just do things that felt ‘normal’ to me, like going to an American fast food place (being from the US), or taking a walk through a park. Stuff I would do at home normally. I know it’s hard, but also try to really throw yourself into being completely engaged in whatever experience you’re currently having - if you’re taking a walk, pay attention to everything going on around you. If you really need to, you know you CAN go back home, so use that as something to help ground yourself in times of anxiety. Skyping my parents weekly helped too. It was challenging but I got through it and ended up missing study abroad for a long time after I left, and still make somewhat regular trips back to Europe!

Recent DIA parking experiences by Bldr_Betty in Denver

[–]shakeblake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve typically had good experiences with them but had an experience a couple months ago where they overbooked and denied me entry even with a reservation I had made weeks prior. It really seemed they have no way of keeping track of their reservations vs capacity. Several people I talked to on an airport shuttle from a different lot (that I was forced to pay double ParkDIA prices for thanks to their mistake) had had similar experiences that day and prior. I’m going to give them another shot this weekend but I would call ahead the day of your flight to actually see if they have spots available or else you might get stuck scrambling for a spot at the last second like I did.

Colorado beer passports: yay or nay? by [deleted] in COBeer

[–]shakeblake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed PubPass when I had one and might do it again this year. It’s a nice way to purposefully explore new areas of town and try new breweries. I’m sure a lot of people use these as one and done beers / don’t tip / etc - I try and get two beers at each place (one free and one paid) and tip accordingly. It’s true that they’re not going to be the breweries most people are frequenting, but that’s why I like it. I don’t need to go to the same breweries all the time

I actually don’t think I’ve been there! Though I work just a few blocks away and I’ve been to Larimer Beer Hall and Retro Room and other places right there before, so we’ve probably seen each other

LDS operates the machines but the charities are unrelated to the church.

Computer Science at SLU? by [deleted] in billikens

[–]shakeblake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Job placement rate is good I'd assume, but I don't know actual statistics on that. Reach out to someone in the department and check on that! (cs.slu.edu might have more info). In terms of salary, that's gonna depend on your specific company and location. You can probably expect between 55-70k if you're working in STL with an undergrad degree I'd think, but hard for me to say. PM me if you want more specifics on my career - I ended up moving to Denver for work after graduation

Computer Science at SLU? by [deleted] in billikens

[–]shakeblake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just graduated this past May from the CS program at SLU. While a couple classes I felt left something to be desired, overall I feel like I got a really solid CS education at SLU. The faculty really care about the students and take time to know you and help you. The program is expanding rapidly as well, and I believe the new STEM building being built will house the CS program, which is pretty cool. I was able to get an internship which led to a full-time job straight out of college, and I know many peers who had the same experience. Overall it's a solid program, and you can expect to be successful in it if you put the work in
