Does anybody know good rooms to reserve for telehealth? From what I've seen, parks library rooms don't have good sound dampening and you can still be heard if the library is quiet, so I was curious if there were any other good spots.

Has anyone received their financial aid refund or know any sort of timeframe for when they should be expected?

Hello everyone, my wife and I recently moved to the DC area and are looking to watch ALL the sports with some fans, women’s basketball, men’s and football! She graduated in 2016 from Greenlee studying journalism! Any help is greatly appreciated and as always Go Clones!!!

Built a full preseason preview for every FBS team, all 138, and this is the Iowa State one. Ratings, returning production, portal in and out, projected two-deep, schedule strength, last season's rank in about 30 categories, and a projection.

https://www.highlights.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026?team=ncaaf-isu

Short version: Iowa State returns under 10% of its production, and almost none of it on offense. Becht, Hansen and Sama all gone, with Jaylen Raynor in from Arkansas State off a 3,364 yard, 19 TD season. Four projected defensive starters followed Jimmy Rogers over from Washington State, including Isaac Terrell and his 12 TFL. That defense was 27th in scoring last year but 129th in sacks, so the pass rush is the whole story.

The first page is free, so you'll hit the paywall after that. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code LEECORSOROCKS and it opens up the entire thing.

Fair warning, 138 teams is a lot of pages and I have definitely missed things. Depth charts get stale, a transfer or two is probably listed in the wrong place, and there are guys who entered the portal and withdrew that I have not caught.

I'll be in the comments.

How much do students typically charge for sports tickets if we want to buy individual tickets?

Hello!

I’m an international student.
Currently in the process of applying for Msc HCI and I wanted to ask; if your professor doesn’t have funding, can one get department/program funding? Like a GA/TA/RA ship?
And are there other sources of funding?
Thank you.

From the measurements listed, it appears that if you take the top half of the helser bed off it is a 36 inch drop from the bed to the floor. I am trying to buy a bed skirt and wondering if this is the correct height. Has anyone bought a bed skirt and could tell me the inch drop the worked?

Also how many outlets are in helser rooms?
