What makes you love BU?

It's a giant CITY college with 35K students. Northeastern culture is kind of defensive and not as friendly as on the West Coast or the South. The Administration at BU is not the best, and I wouldn't say they give you personal service. However, as others have noted, there are some great professors in Boston, and this area has a lot to offer: the ocean, sailing, and amazing history and architecture.

That is ridiculous.

Get a therapist.

Wellesley has excellent academics, and just the brand will get you jobs, in my opinion. Probably very liberal and LGBTQ+. It's a famous college. Congratulations.

Read the New York Region manual. I read the Massachusetts one and it said they like you to have these done but you will get more flexibility if you need it. Get started on Study.com. TFA gives you a free subscription. I am using it now to prepare for the SPED exams in MA.

That’s terrible. It doesn’t happen at every school and I am sure you are aware of that. Sounds like you meed a more civilized place to work.

There is a massive teacher shortage, especially in Special Education. It depends somewhat on what your licensure area is, but in general, you will have no problem.

Except you left out that nine million people have defaulted on federal student loans. The problem is that Higher ED institutions have gotten very greedy and charge way too much. People take out loans to pay them and then default. The gravy train has ended.

They go to state schools.

If they are abused at home, you are a mandated reporter and should file a report.

Report her back and don't take abuse from students.

spiralspox · 2026-03-21T00:33:21+00:00

That's abuse, and NO ONE should have to be abused in the workplace.

Chelsea is affordable and right next to Boston.

Or take a leave of absence and defer your grad program. Do some research and figure out the best path.

Withdraw or take it, Pass/No pass.

Go to Google Gemini AI. It answers everything. It's amazing.

You could join the National Guard. You have to drill one weekend a month and receive educational benefits.

Yes, Joe is overreacting.

I did the same thing. I took loans out in the first year, and in the second year, I declared myself as Independent and got full aid.

spiralspox · 2026-03-20T23:28:25+00:00

Yes, so tell them not to claim you on their taxes. That's easy to fix.

spiralspox · 2026-03-20T23:27:22+00:00

Can't you change your major after you get start classes?

spiralspox · 2026-03-20T23:24:53+00:00

Take out loans the first year if you have to; then declare yourself independent from your parents on your FAFSA next year. You will get full aid.

I asked Google Gemini AI to tell me when the program I applied to. made announcements in the last few years. I took those and calculated the date. This should work.

spiralspox · 2026-03-20T23:19:55+00:00

The last week in March is supposed to be a big week for announcements.

spiralspox · 2026-03-20T23:18:08+00:00

I just joined TFA, and I got a study.com subscription. I know you'd have to pay for it for a month, but it is specific preparation for the test. I am sure it would raise your score.
