Spruce vs. Furness

Does anyone have any opinions about living in Spruce vs. living in Furness as a first-time freshman? I put down Spruce as my first choice on the housing form, because I’d heard that Furness is very hot and sometimes has mice. But, when I went to the open house today, the room I saw in [...]

NEW441: Globalization and AIDS

If anyone is in the Globalization and AIDS class can you please answer the following questions for me. I am unable to access my syllabus right now and I am trying to get my annotated bibliography and proposal done.

Apartment and Roommate maybe?

So! I am looking for both an apartment and a roommate for next year. I’m a sophomore animation major. I’m trying to get as close to Terra as possible for a reasonable price. Most likely, I’ll spend the majority of my time in the studio too! And I cook! Yes! I don’t mind vegans or [...]

Switching Grad programs

Has anyone disliked one graduate program/school/field and successfully switched to another? Any advice?
I’m very unhappy with my school and thought I was unhappy with research in general. But I find that I still do love doing research (science or otherwise), just not in the school I am in and not necessarily in field [...]

Junior English

The options are endless and therefore paralyzing.
Ideas? Anything you have taught at this level that has been particularly effective? Assignments you were given at this [...]

Elections Rules

What’s the rule on posting about elections here? (For political parties/slates with disabled comments etc.?)

So glad to know I’m not alone…

My roommate may be smart (we go to an advanced high school), but she has NO common sense. She’s so used to her mommy taking care of her, that she doesn’t know how to respect other people’s things/space.

-She microwaves METAL. I come back to the room, and there’s an awful stench of electric [...]

SALE!

I’m selling all my living room furniture. I figure that for the futon, chair & tv stand $40 should be reasonable. Also, I’m selling the tv and the VCR – $40 for both? It’s all negotiable. & I also have white aluminum bedroom blinds for Richmond Square windows… I’m not sure of the exact size. [...]
