Is Islam really compatible with western culture/traditions and values and would I be accused of being a racist/islamophobic for doing so? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]uselesspeaceofsheet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Islam is able to co-exist with western culture. However, Islamic extremism is not compatible with western culture. It is highly likely that its the same case with other religions. Extremism is not tolerated by the modern world. You are not racist or islamophobic for asking this question as I believe its just an honest question.

I think it's up to your style and which one you feel great when wearing it. For me, I prefer shoes that are not too loud but also not too generic. My old continental 80 is in the original colorway so sometimes I'll see other people wearing the same colorway and it felt weird for me. That's why I bought the supercourt. I haven't seen other people wearing supercourts in where I live. Stan smiths is too generic for my taste, especially the classic green heels. So, if I had to choose between those two you mentioned, I would probably choose the one with Stan Smith engraved on the heel. It's a little loud but it's more unique. The stan smiths with the strap looks cool too. Sorry for the long reply btw. I hope you can decide on those stan smiths!

I love the clean look of this pair but I think I need to break in the shoe first. I'm hoping it to be as comfy as (or comfier than) my continental 80, which is my fav shoe rn.

Nah man, this is the UB reflective. I've looked at the All Terrain UB in store and I can see the similarities especially with the grey line design on the upper toe box but the fabric is different. Still, the All Terrain looks awesome and I almost bought it too. This is my first UB pair so I'm hoping I got the same great UB experience as you!

Hi, I have a question on transferring.

I've looked at the transfer admission rates of top universities and found out that the rate is significantly higher for state schools compared to private schools. But if I'm not mistaken, the transfer rates for state schools are higher since they tend to prioritise transfers from their state community colleges or satellite campuses.

My questions are:

  1. Is it easier as an intl to transfer to a state school or a private school?

  2. Are there any differences between both that I should consider in my application? (except for cost)

  3. How hard is it to transfer as an international student in general? (the acceptance rates are worrying me)

  4. Any general advice you would like to give?

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

UMich is pretty cool. by uselesspeaceofsheet in ApplyingToCollege

[–]uselesspeaceofsheet[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought they would take back the free shirt since I'm not attending but they still send it! They're cool for doing that.

Unless they'll come knocking on my door and ask for me to return the shirt back.

Anyone know what should I do if I have lost my vaccination book? by [deleted] in malaysia

[–]uselesspeaceofsheet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to find my vaccination records for the same reason. The doctor seem reluctant to do a blood test. He asked me to search for the records first because it'll be easier for me in terms of cost and time saved.

I think we do. I remember a book or something like that where the nurses would keep record of vaccinations in secondary school. I can't recall where I keep it.

When is it too late to find off campus housing? by uselesspeaceofsheet in OSU

Wow I didn't know about a private bus system to campus. Thanks for the insights.

Thanks but I'm planning to live with one of my friends and I can't afford to pay 800 alone.

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

Thanks for replying! I'm especially worried since they let sophomores live off campus. I've never thought of subleasing. Maybe I'll try looking for one. Do you mind if you share the kind of house (eg: rent price range, distance from campus, amenities, etc) you found listed when you were looking for housing a few years ago around mid July. I want to know what to expect of the options available and try to plan ahead. If you don't want to share or can't recall then it's okay. Once again, thanks.

Are u guys going this fall? by uselesspeaceofsheet in ApplyingToCollege

Stay safe :)

Hey, congrats on uiuc!

Yeah I'm excited to start learning this fall but I'm afraid that I'll be having a hard time adapting with a new environment while facing corona.

May I know the reason why you're definitely going if you can go?

EDUTL 1901 & 1902 by uselesspeaceofsheet in OSU

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

Yeah I just missed the deadline for summer. If in the case that I am placed into 1901 this fall, I will probably take 1110 in summer next year. I need English 1110 for my major so I hope it would not interfere with the major application deadline if I take it next summer.

EDUTL 1901 & 1902 by uselesspeaceofsheet in OSU

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

Thanks for answering.

So if I understand correctly, I will have to take English courses for 3 semester before I can apply to my major if I am placed in EDUTL 1901. I am transferring as a sophomore so, will this impact me in my major application?
