Art & Stuff @ the Elder Street Artist Lofts!!! Sunday 8/16

August 16th 9am – 6pm We’re opening our doors to the public for an indoor “yard” sale at the infamous Elder Street Artist Lofts formerly the old Jeff Davis Hospital.

Selling: Furniture & Printer

EDIT: A couple things were sold and a couple prices changed. I’m moving out of the country for a while so I’m getting rid of some stuff! It’s all available for pick up before Sunday, August 23rd. I live on Bay just south of College. The futon and computer work station will need a minivan [...]

community notice: info update

Job search, interviews, etc.

If all goes well, I hope to have my PhD in hand this time next year. I have a few questions for those who have been here before. First, how soon before finishing your degree did you begin to look for jobs? If you’re in languages (as I am), did you comb the MLA solely [...]

They have the lowest prices guaranteed and will actually match any comparable prices if you find a cheaper one. And if you [...]

waitlists.

Somewhat last minute question here: As a non-degree student I’m set to enroll in courses tomorrow at 6am. I’m going to take a stab at CHM138/139 and MAT135. Since all three of these are on waitlists for their lectures but not their tutorials or practicals I’m wondering this: If I can put on the lecture [...]

$$$$$ woes

Does anyone have any experience in not paying the first installment of registration fees on the due date (Aug 15)? I JUST found out my fin.aid. file was incomplete and submitted the paperwork earlier this week. They said it would take 4-6 weeks to process and until then I’m not getting any money. The thing [...]
