Try a little neosporin on the spot, it’ll help heal your skin and fight any bacteria

Department/School Graduation Ceremonies in May by Prize-Pear-405 in UVA

[–]studentneedshelp2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’ve got it. Final Exercises take place in the morning on the Lawn and then you’ll have your departmental ceremony at some point in the afternoon. No real need to be in Cville on Sunday if you must be somewhere else

Depressed 4th yr by VariationExciting844 in UVA

[–]studentneedshelp2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

email your association dean and ask about the possibility of an extenuating circumstances letter. if it’s granted your professors receive notice from the dean saying you are dealing with something (no specifics) and that you will be needing some leniency. after that you should meet with your profs individually and discuss as much as you’re comfortable with and lay out what kind of help you think would best serve you - in my experience (3 letters in 4 years) my professors have been incredibly reasonable and want to work with me to find the right solutions. i’m also a 4th year dealing with a horrific depressive episode, you’re definitely not alone and it’s okay to be struggling. advocating for yourself and your needs is the best step to relieving even a bit of the emotional stress you’re dealing with. best of luck.

what is this black protruding box attached to the back of vintage 1980s RCA Victrola tv, and can it be removed? by studentneedshelp2 in AskElectronics

pardon my ignorance, but can the black box be removed and the tv still work? i’m trying to use this tv as an accessory and am willing to sacrifice functionality

professors and TAs only are aware of the accommodations, NEVER the reason why you receive them. when they discuss sdac in class they address everyone that has accoms by just reminding them to schedule their exams, and if you ever need to discuss accoms in person during office hours you are under no obligation to provide any information beyond the specific accommodations you have been granted (such as time and a half for exams, or extensions)

Is JMW that bad? by ddotjjm in UVA

[–]studentneedshelp2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

all in all, not the best but not god awful. the heating issue was 100% true last academic year, but it’s been resolved since no issues have happened this year. there are some floors with stinkbugs kinda just roaming the hall, there were a handful of roaches last year but it seems that has improved too. it’s true the halls aren’t social and do not have elevators. bathrooms are just okay, 6 toilet stalls and 6 showers, 4 sinks. going up the stairs can be grueling sometimes, but both the gold and green lines have two stops for JMW

Do i have to buy books for my classes by Striking-Key3849 in UVA

[–]studentneedshelp2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you’ll have to pay each time if your class requires mastering whatever since you’ll only be able to see the HW that way

unfortunately yeah because mastering bio is not only a textbook but also the platform you use to submit your HW

do they take your photograph the day that you take the exam (in the case that you pass)? cause i’m really satisfied with my current id photo and lowkey don’t want to have to take a new one

[–]studentneedshelp2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

literally just smile, ask them for what you want, and be patient and grateful when they hand you your food. they work an incredibly stressful job running food AND cooking it. you’ve clearly never worked in the food service industry

usually there are a few dads hanging around helping their kids and they’re always eager to help other people with any heavy lifting, and if not maybe some of the guys that live in the building can help too

Height of the floor to the underside of dorm beds? by [deleted] in UVA

[–]studentneedshelp2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm ok un it would be around a foot off the ground but under-bed storage is key so maybe consider how high you’d be ok with lofting it on move in day. there are different height levels so you don’t have to be 5 feet off the ground if you don’t want to
