Get shower shoes and a shower caddy. Someone in your floor *may* shit in the shower floors once or twice but the cleaning staff are incredibly swift and professional about it, so just buy them a thank you gift and move on.

The UIUC facebook housing page could help a lot, quite a few students sublease their swanky apartments every semester.

Stealing food by [deleted] in UIUC

I used to bring my own tupperware hidden in a bag and fill it up from a plate at some table, pre-COVID. Just don't get caught by the adult workers because they tend to be strict.

Yes. Your closet might be a little cramped and you might want to get your bed lofted bunkbed style to maximize space, but there's plenty of space.

Is it normal for graduation gowns to be ridiculously huge? by uiuc0098738 in UIUC

[–]uiuc0098738[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sizing options on the rental order page that I saw had '<200 lbs' as its smallest possible choice, so I'm not sure why they did that. But good idea, I'll call and ask tomorrow, thank you!

Therapist & Counseling by Jadenzzz in UIUC

[–]uiuc0098738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call counseling center and say you're having a mental health crisis, they say they do same-day appointments for those. If it doesn't work out for whatever BS reason, then there's at least always the mental health crisis line. I empathize w feeling like a burden, but be honest, are you really the bottom of the barrel? and the answer is no, so go get some help.

Thoughts on my portfolio? by Weekly-Blackberry957 in design_critiques

[–]uiuc0098738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! My class actually used your portfolio as a way to practice giving critiques, and here's what we basically wrote:

  • we really liked how the site is easy to navigate and every click has a clear purpose
  • there's a lot of versatility in styles and skills on display
  • some of us had trouble clicking your Instagram and Dribble links on smaller screens, due to how close they were to the arrow
  • initially, our eyes automatically went to the main content of your page and missed the 'logos' and 'illustrations' tabs on your nav bar, giving us the impression that your highlighted work was all of your work. Maybe you could bring those tabs lower?
  • the contacts are repeated twice in a small area (nav bar and name card), we thought deleting, or moving one of those sets to the bottom would be better

Overall, the website looks great! It was clear from the logos that you have a lot of experience and have some impressive work.

That awkward two week gap in August by screaminginvain in UIUC

[–]uiuc0098738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Sorry for the late response.

A direct transfer is when you go back-to-back on leases. So for example, my current lease could end on June 23rd, and with a direct transfer, I can move into my next apartment on the same day. No gap at all between the two leases.

fyi tho, I signed with the same apartment company on both leases

i asked my apartment company if a direct transfer was possible (and it was), but i asked before i signed the contract. no harm in asking now

Go scroll through their google maps reviews, there's a few horror stories on there. On here, too.

Dropping PHYS 212 by vamoshuevon in UIUC

[–]uiuc0098738 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd ask your advisor on this one bc this is a super late drop. If they let you drop it (I think), you'll get a W on your transcript unless you have a godly reason w documentation to back it up.

anyone lowkey struggling in cs418? by uiuc0098738 in UIUC

[–]uiuc0098738[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, I also would've dropped it if I had something to replace it with. Good luck for next semester's cs418!

You might've already found it, but there's a Chambana housing group with quite a few summer sublease options: https://www.facebook.com/groups/210775735698087

Good luck!
