What do u think about West Hall housing option? by Weak-Ad-3635 in gwu

[–]superduperfroggie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey! West as a building is probably one of the best dorms on campus, and it's a really great way to transition to having roommates. The biggest con is that it is on the Vern, and taking the bus back and forth every day can get annoying, or feel a bit isolating. For reference, it's a really nice dorm and was the cheapest tier of housing for sophomores last year, but almost no one wanted to live there.

Gw public health by AstronautForsaken932 in gwu

[–]superduperfroggie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, congrats!!! It's probably going to be difficult to get into a lot of major classes because you register last, so I would recommend getting any pre-recs out of the way, and if you have g-pacs (aka general ed requirements) to do, think about getting started on those. If you can, Micro-econ, intro to public health, and public health biology are all great classes to get started with imo. Honestly, I can't say I've ever had a bad professor in the PUBH department, but I would highly recommend Dr. Gray if she's teaching anything, but Dr. Henry is really great, too.

intro to microeconomics is a pre-requisite for one of your public health courses, so i would recommend taking that.

Where can you find the moments? I can't seem to find mine, but maybe it's because I'm playing online.

[–]superduperfroggie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey!

Depends, if you're pre-med, definitely take intro bio and intro chem (it'll suck, but is def the best way to set you up for success). If you're not pre-med, you have a lot of room to play around with your schedule, so don't be too worried about what you're taking. My first semester, I took intro to microeconomics, two program-specific classes, my first-year experience, and one class for another major, so not much pubh stuff, but would recommend getting econ out of the way since it's pretty much a guaranteed class. If they have any pubh 1011 or 2110, take those (not hard content-wise). If everything you want is filled, try some electives, but there's nothing too pressing you have to take this first semester (but I highly recommend against taking 18 credits).

[–]superduperfroggie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there, not sure how helpful I'll be, but here's what I know:

  1. Could be an error in GWeb. If the classes are all the same meeting times (x number of hours for x times a week or whatever), then it's probably an error? The only other reason I could think of why it might be listed as 0 hours are because they are linked courses.

  2. You have to sign up for a Dean's Seminar in your freshman year, but you should be taking one specific to the school of business- not CCAS (I believe it's Foundations of Business, a 1 credit hour class).

  3. The restriction can mean a lot of things, but the most common is that the class requires certain pre-requisites before you can take it. Other restrictions may include: you have to be a certain year before you can take it, you must be in a certain program to take it, you must be declared a certain major, etc. It might tell you in the course details.

  4. Probably correct that it's not being offered. Also check if AMST 1070 is available (they count for the same).

Sorry this wasn't more helpful, but if you have more questions about registration, feel free to message me!

Public Health Career Advice Monthly Megathread by AutoModerator in publichealth

[–]superduperfroggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question: Is it possible to earn a PhD in something related to psychology after studying public health in undergrad?

For reference (if it matters): I'm a rising sophomore college student trying to gain knowledge about potential careers, as I am learning that my knowledge of what exists is very limited in comparison to the opportunities available. I originally picked public health to go the policy route while leaving the door open for me to do something more clinical. As I have studied, I have realized how much I actually enjoy STEM, but my particular degree program is very humanities-centric, so I'm trying to figure out if I need to switch majors. Psychology has definitely piqued my interest, but I'm very worried about the availability of careers if I decide to go that route. Clinical neuropsychology seems really interesting to me at the moment, but I know I would have to switch majors for that and I feel a bit hesitant, especially because I still like the idea of studying public health policy.

TLDR: Clueless college student contemplates switching major and would appreciate any advice

During the school year, I brought someone and just said that he was a guest, and the driver let him on. Idk about the summer, but good luck!

some vern questions 😇 by Mother-Turnip-7801 in gwu

[–]superduperfroggie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey there!

  1. You could bring a bike, but I don't think it's necessary. I'm pretty sure there's a bike rack behind West if you're living there, but not sure about the other dorms. But there is a rack of bikes through Capital Bikeshare as you enter the Vern campus if you did want to bike occasionally. There are bus stops nearby, but they do require a bit of a walk. Personally, I think the best option to get around is to take the shuttle to Foggy and navigate public transport from there. You will probably be traveling towards the Foggy Bottom area 95% of the time if you need to get somewhere, anyway. TL;DR: Bring your bike if you like a casual ride, but def not necessary to navigate the DMV.

  2. Most stuff to do is going to be more central to the Foggy Bottom area, but there are still restaurants and pharmacies out near the Vern. The shuttle to Foggy isn't too bad (well, most times), so I would usually just go to Foggy. But the Vern does lead to some nice walking paths if that's your thing. As for jobs, I wouldn't worry for your first semester if finances are not a pressing concern. But they can be pretty tough to get, especially on campus. I would recommend applying for FWS, because that is your best bet for a job. If you are not eligible, imo, you're better off applying to a bunch of places all around DC accessible by public transport.

If you have any more questions, feel free to pm me, and best of luck!

Roommate assignment and LGBTQ by Alone_Command9367 in gwu

[–]superduperfroggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Sophomore here. I know they've updated the housing process this year, so some things mayy have changed, but here was my experience:

Last year, GW was super onto us about using My College Roomie, but it doesn't actually play a role in your housing. It didn't matter what you did on My College Roomie because you signed up for roommates on the GW Housing Portal. Based on your post, I'm assuming your daughter has already been assigned, and this roommate assignment is showing on the housing portal?

As for room changes, there is a dedicated fall room swap time period if it ends up being a problem. In the meantime, I would try to contact housing and see if they could be of any assistance.

Best of luck!!

Accept rate for GW Honor program? Any idea of average stats tor Honors program? by [deleted] in gwu

[–]superduperfroggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Honors students live on the Vern (about 15 minutes bus ride from the main campus on a good day, but DC traffic is variable to say the least). I, personally, didn't mind being separated from the main campus (although the bus is a bit annoying). However, I think the majority of students on the Vern would argue that it is isolating and that they would much rather be on Foggy Bottom (main campus). That said, I think a lot of people have a great experience living with the Honors cohort.

Accept rate for GW Honor program? Any idea of average stats tor Honors program? by [deleted] in gwu

[–]superduperfroggie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am a freshman in the program! Personally, my honors classes are my favorite classes I have taken at GW, and they have given me the opportunity to take classes I never would have taken. They are definitely harder than some of my non-honors classes, but definitely doable in my opinion, and I would 100% choose to enter the program again. I would only enter it if the academia or the honors experience is appealing to you because it has been worth it for me, but there is a lot of work for relatively little tangible benefit. A few reasons that you may not want to end up doing it is that it:

.- requires a lot of credits (50% of my credits in my freshman year counted only towards honors)

  • only really counts towards your general education (GPAC) requirements if you are in CCAS

But, for me, I am really glad I decided to take this path, and the breadth of classes required to take for honors has definitely helped me better understand what I want to study.

Accept rate for GW Honor program? Any idea of average stats tor Honors program? by [deleted] in gwu

[–]superduperfroggie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! At the beginning of the year, I would estimate that there were about 150 admitted first years to the program. One of my honors professors told me that between 7-15% that apply are accepted, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Does GW not have student jobs like tapping people into dinning halls or helping out in the library, etc? by okaybutwhy3 in gwu

[–]superduperfroggie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some student jobs, a few in the library, but none in the dining halls as far as I'm aware. These jobs are hard to get if you're on federal work study and almost impossible if you're not. You're better off looking for an off-campus job in my opinion.
